It´s just bad we don´t get this piece of automotive history that this brand was in GT6...Even though they produced trucks and motor coaches, this Spanish brand also produced beautifull sports cars and surelly could diserve more recognition!

It will be close to impossible to see any Pegaso coming to the series as they disappeared as a brand and all the remaining models are in private hands. The problem with this is that you can't go to the brand to request a license because currently they doesn't exist. Maybe PD can ask Iveco as they bought the company back in the late 80's but as they didn't continued with the production of Pegaso trucks I see it pretty much impossible to achieve the licensing.

It's a shame.

I clicked like, but the title is for the 3.2 engined model and the specifications are for a 2.8 litre car.

I don't know anything about licensing, but hopefully PD can make this happen - the worlds fastest production car (1950's) deserves to be in the game.

..........If a brand's dead as a dodo, then it's possible to just "ask" the current owners of the surviving cars. But, a brand like this, even though they haven't produced a thing since the dawn of mankind, is still owned and trademarked by someone. Now that's gonna create some complications...
