Rare GT5-Cars in Real Life....

[Amac500]

I haven't read all of these posts but I think this is a good contribution people may find interesting. The 1968 Le Mans winning Ford Mark IV is no doubt a rare an very historic car as it was known for being the "All American" team that won and is the last time an American team has won outright. Now, I live in the metro Detroit area. The Ford world headquarters is in Dearborn and so is a museum called the Henry Ford Museum. That very 1968 Mark IV sits on display at that museum as it now has for a couple years. I actually walked by that car and took pictures of and with it for many years before actually realizing what it was (I was young) and as I learned about Le Mans and what the Mark IV I really appreciated what a feat the car was and how it truly, truly is one of kind, and it's right there locally on display. I always take the time to look at it every couple months when I go there. So if you really appreciate those kind of rare cars from the game or such historic feats in the racing / automotive world then stop by the Henry Ford Mueseum if your traveling through the Detroit area. I think they actually have a dedicated history of racing exhibit coming through the museum later this year to. But ya, thought that might interest somebody.

In regards of the R390 discussion, I was a bit curious about that Zama Warehouse you guys were talking about. I did a little research on Google and found this:

http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2079707

A bunch if photos of some of the cars Nissan has stored in this warehouse, it's pretty interesting. And on one of the photos of the R390 GT1 Road Car, the the person who took the photos says that it's currently for sale (for about 1 million dollars). I don't know if this is true, but I thought I had to share this with you guys.

GT By Citroen concept?? only 1 model

Look at all those cars from GT2.






Also, they still have the Silhouette Formula? Awesome.

 

[Tiagodh]

Imagine starting up all those cars at the same time , the warehouse would collapse!

 

[s10train]

According to this http://s7saleenforum.com/ only 78 Saleen S7's were built.

 

[Theace37]

suzuki escudo dirt trial car, 2 of those

 

[Hyped]

There were also only 249 Shelby Series 1's built.

 

[cggorman]

Jaguar XJ13 - only one
Tank Car - only one
Red Bull X1 - no one

any others?

Sorry but whenever you say tank car you sould put in quotations as the name "tank car" is a nickname for the Blastolene Special which was made by a man in Canada (i believe)

 

[cggorman]

The Iroc-z concept

 

[playnthru]

No

If you have the money ? You can buy a NEW DMC 12.

Right here in the USA.

We already discussed it.

Jay Leno bought it from the canadian guy (Randy Grubb was his name). I'm not sure why you think it should be in quotations. Tank Car is just another name for it.

It's actually quite disappointing that PD haven't used this golden resource more often for GT5. They used cars from Zama very frequently when modeling for GT2 and GT4, but hardly for GT5. I'm assuming PD still have liberal access to Zama based on their relationship with Nissan, so I wish PD could have included more incredible cars, specifically race cars, from Nissan. I know, I'm asking for more Nissans, not a popular opinion on these forums, but with such a gold mine located so close by, PD should be digging.

Personally, I would love to see the NP35 in the game (I'm a sucker for 3.5L C cars), as well as a premium R390 GT1 racer (98 model preferably, if I can't have both), the R391 and the 1996 R33 GT-R LM racer. Goodness sakes, there really aren't enough Nissans in GT5.

last week... saw this toy at the car wash...

 

[PureHeavyMetal]

There are only 1,400 Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupes, and 1,858 roadsters.

 

[ghostrider135]

Probably not the rarest of cars but good luck seeing one in real life, Renault Avantime

Seen one 2 days ago! Town called Rastatt, Germany... it was silver and in perfect condition.
Gullwing/Coupe

 

[TakumiFuji01]

Carbon R is rare as 🤬 It's for sale in Norway D: Why didn't Amuse keep the damn car....

 

[johof1234]

There are plans to build six. As of right now, there is, as far as I know, only one.

Well, there may be two. There is a working one, and there was a concept at its debut motorshow. Not sure if they were the same, or if even the motorshow concept was complete.

Plans to build them got cancelled almost 2 years ago.

There is still only 1

 

[johof1234]

I also remember reading that he did some laps in it somwhere, but could only do a few because the huge amount of G's would do permanent damage to his body.



Ah, okay. Thanks for clarifying. 👍

This is vetted driving the X1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcJFDmkKmKg
He drove it in virtual reality as a promo for GT5

For all the previous interest in the DeLorean, check out the Car of the Week, Week 7: 2004 DMC DeLorean S2

 

[johof1234]

McLaren F1 '97-spec GTR only 9 made.

There were 106 in the entire F1 series from the XP1 in '92 to the F1 road cars in '98. Plus, 1 spare chassis.

 

[johof1234]

There were originally 9049 Delorean DMC-12's made, including 2 that were 24-karat gold plated.

According to the Delorean Owners Association 6,000 are registered, and 3,000 of them are still driven regularly.

 

[Czempion]

Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 LM Road Car - only one car. Nissan built this car because they needed license for their Skyline GT-R to attempt this car on Le Mans.

Lamborghini Miura P400 '67 - I saw it on my own eyes only on museum in Wolfsburg - my favourite classic car since that moment

I have to say it kinda looks good too.


How about the Jaguar XJ220?

I wonder if there's a specific reason the name abbreviates to D.O.A.

He was racing it from a console, there is no actual drive able car, unless the Red Bull guy Dieter M. Really likes to spend $$.

They did manufacture a prototype, though. Not sure if Seb. drove it or not, but I seem to recall he did. There is a video on (GT5 TV, is that what it's called?). And you must not know Dieter very well (i.e., at all) if you have to question whether he likes to spend money or not! Just check out all the cool stuff in the museum in photo-mode.

Technically the video is of the x2010
