Name the car that got you interested in cars .

[ApexDrift123]

Ferrari 512BB , GT5 Prologue and Outrun Arcade ( 2006 )

 

[playnthru]

You weren't interested in cars until you played GT5?

Anyway.. For me it was my grandfathers SS396/4 speed Chevrolet Nova when i was four years old.

 

[ApexDrift123]

GT5 Prologue ( 2008 ) and Outrun ( Ferrari 512BB included ) in 2006 .

 

[Heldenzeit]

My dad always had cool cars, so probably any one of them growing up. More specifically, 1980 Camaro I have that was my first Hotwheels.

 

[catamount39]

Hmm...I think it was the 1999 Subaru Imprezza WRC car/and the road car in Gran Turismo 3 when I was like 4-5 years old. Also the 2000 Corvette C5.R GTS car in Gran Turismo 3.

 

[ULTRAVIOLENZZ]

Formula One.

 

[Legro]

I honestly can't say as I've loved cars as long as I can remember, but I'm going to say the first cars I can actually remember, which were my parents' Volkswagen Vento and my dad's Mk3 Mini 1000.

 

[Michelin]

I had a 1/32 miniature of this:

Guess I had a pretty good reason, eh?

 

[CSMDuty11]

Is "I don't even remember anymore" a good enough answer?

 

[mustang fanatic]

Since I've loved cars for probably almost as long as I've been alive, it's really hard to say what car made me love cars.

I would say the same. I honestly don't remember what got me into cars. Been into them ever since I started playing with toy cars as a toddler.

 

[Wiegert]

I name thee, Porsche 959.

Or was it the Countach... Maybe even the XJS? 2CV, perhaps?










Most likely dad's Ford Orion.

 

[JR98]

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 from GT3.

 

[FT-1]

It's difficult to say which car made me interested in cars, but I can remember my first favourite car was the Subaru Impreza WRX STI (GC8) from Gran Turismo 2 - that shaped the interest in the cars I am most fond of.

This, though I will say my favorite car is my DeLorean that my dad bought when I was 1-2 years old. I've been around it and working on it my whole life and being a toddler cars were my life pretty much. The early Gran Turismo games came out when I was very young were an influence, too. My grandpa died before I was born but he was a car but too, maybe it's in my blood

 

[Jump_Ace]

I remember it vividly:

I was 7 or so when I saw The Karate Kid. I thought the classic cars in that film were cool until I saw that Corvette drive up in that scene. I remember calling them 'Quartervettes' for a while. After that, my dad and I were always on the lookout for Corvettes on the road.

The NSX is my fav car now though as I just can't stand behind GM, or any US cars for that matter. When I saw the NSX in a mag as a teenager, it just clicked, moreso than when I saw that 'vette for the first time. Suddenly I wanted to play racing games ALL THE TIME Still hasn't changed 👍

[NFSCARBON1]

First favourite car was the Subaru Impreza WRC that came on the Demo One version of Gran Turismo. At some point around the same time I became obsessed with Ferrari's (via F1) and Mini Coopers (Mr Bean possibly to blame for that one!!!!)

 

[Doog]

I'm serious. lol

My parents say I started liking cars after playing with a particular plastic school bus as a toddler, but the first real car I can remember liking a lot was my friend's mom's Honda Odyssey. I can't say I'm a minivan enthusiast anymore, but I still have a soft spot for these.

 

[R5]

Hotwheels and Matchbox, really. Can't remember any specifics besides a Jaguar E-type in red.

Also was a Ferrari F50, my first bedroom wall supercar.

 

[Sp3edst3r]

Id have to say either the Escudo in GT3, or the Loctite NSX from GT Concept, both cars were the only ones id ever use :')

 

[Casey]

The GT500 Pennzoil R34 Skyline

 

[Aphelion]

The 2001 lotus Elise.

 

[sparkytooth]

I don't remember really, there have been so many machines I liked since I was very little.

 

[Bo]

For my first birthday, I got 2 wooden cars. One green, one red.

After that it all got a bit blurry with a massive motorsport obsession, but the obsession stuck, so that's good.

 

[synchromesh]

Hotwheels and Matchbox, really.

This, too.

 

[MatskiMonk]

BMW 635CSi lead to a passion for BMWs, which lead to an interest in motorsport.

I've always had a passing interest in cars via my dad's work in the industry, earliest memory of which was being at a motor show when I was about 5.

 

[sparkytooth]

I will mention that I had a very early fondness towards NASCAR, especially the #22 CAT car.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

The one that I remember was the Diablo VT, but according to my grandparents it was a 205 GTi.

 

[Snorevette]

Ferrari F50.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I have no clue. I would say one of my father's cars, but I'm told I just loved cars out of the box. Early videos find me watching Nascar. Funny seeing 1 or 2 year old me sliding a TV remote around. Or at least trying to.
