Apparently you have to win some race to get veyron but that's what RDK said and don't qote me on this but that suggests one prize car.
 
I could be wrong but I think RDK saw and photographed an AI driven Veyron in a test, he didn't win it.
 
^ You're right there bud, my bad. He did mention the name of the race but I can't remember lol.

OK, I'm quite worried about the prize cars in GT5. I know there WILL be prize cars from the IB-10 vid, but so far, all the premium Lambos and Mercedeses can be bought at their dealerships. If every single prize car is also for sale, the game won't be much fun for me. So does anyone have more info on this?

IMHO, you are missing the forest for the trees.
 
I have a weird feeling that the Veyron will end up being the Ford Model A of GT5 (meaning you need to win gold on all S-License exams).
 
I guarantee there will be a money-maker event like there is in every GT. I love when it's a simple one like 5 minutes around a non-technical track.
 
I liked getting a random car, the 1 out of 4. It was interesting to see what you get after hard racing, not knowing before hand.

Helps on replayability if you ask me,
 
I liked the prize car system in GT4 just fine other than the fact that it gave you a random color and you could not change it. Some of those races were ran a lot of times in an effort to get the color I wanted. By the time I was done I had all the Camaro and RX7 race cars all of the Cougars and all of the F1s.
 
To be honest I think that when you sell a car you should have offers from different companies like Ebay motors and places like that and you should have the option from loads of companies and you should be able to get like assignments from racing teams to create a car for their team in a racing discipline like super gt or something like that. :)

Yea, luckily we can change paint now.

Yes. Very annoying. Also been there, done that.
Well almost.
Every Formula GT is relentless! Respect.
Fingers crossed all cars can be painted, in any color.
 
All cars even standards can be painted in GT5 i think, with premiums, every tuning option is avaliable for them, obviously.
 
I'm waiting, semi-patiently, for GT Online. The MMORPG version will be epic.

Does anyone here remembering Motor City Online? I played that when I was younger. I used to run an auction house that drew in huge crowds (100s) since there was no auction system built into the game.

I would auction off cars, for a fee, in a chat room. It was awesome. It was a totally functioning economy, with a lot of leeway.

It would be so cool to have a huge functioning economy, with hundreds of thousands of racers racing either other.

In MCO you could wager money on drag races (both straight or handicap) or races. You could also wager pink slips in either. There was also money to be made from winning races, but there was no AI. You were always racing against other people.

It would be so cool. I'd never have any life.

I remember MCO 👍

I'm curious about the prize cars as well. If the car list really is utterly complete, it means almost all prizes could be bought, which is a new turn for the series (a bit less exciting, imo). Previous games had unique colours for prizes, but since we can paint our cars, that too seems like less of a special incentive. Though I imagine some cars just won't be able to be painted (the Ferrari F1's, for example).

A few of us are already curious about the gifting of parts. If "trading" is handled like PSP, where nobody loses anything, but instead there's duplicates... a group of us plan on "gifting" the paint chips to each other over and over again to build up a stock of them. If we can only get them from buying/winning cars, it'd be really tedious to have to grind for the ability to change your car's colour to a favourite of yours. Come to think of it, the RPG-like way paints are handled seems like it's made to artificially extend the act of customization...
