You don't get it. That "Aston" was a student project an industrial designer's project for his portfolio. It has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd.

Durrr... What does that have to do with anything? It's a concept car.

Did you not see the image from the GT Vision gallery? It looks almost identical to the one I posted.

My point is, that "concept" was not made by anyone at Aston Martin, so it absolutely cannot be indicative of what Aston's Vision GT car is going to be.

Besides, they've only shown an obscure teaser sketch so far, and even then, apart from sharing the same basic proportions (as they both seem to be mid-engined) and the strake that goes through the doors, there are already some clear differences between the two. The shoulder surfacing is different; even the glasshouse is not the same as the DBC "concept". Aston Martin clearly hasn't "already showed their concept car", as you claimed.

Comparing it to the Audi R8 and Walter de Silva (it was actually Frank Lamberty's design; Walter de Silva was simply Audi's design head at the time) is therefore questionable at best.

Sorry, I just hate it when people mistake some budding designer's portfolio project as an actual car by an actual manufacturer.

It's just another beemer to me. BMW's have never looked exciting to me except for the M1 and E30 M3. The Hornet, that's where it's at! And I don't just like it because I'm American =P
 
you can see that dollar general on the nascar car, go to recomended dealership and choose nascar, its the yellow one right in the first set of cars
 
The most interesting part about Danica Patrick and GoDaddy.com being in the credits is that neither Danica Patrick, her stock car, car number, or GoDaddy.com's name appear anywhere in the game. I wonder if PD was going to add her but they scrapped it or are waiting to add it in a future update, although knowing how PD tends to mention things but never add them, I highly doubt we will see Danica Patrick's #10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet in GT6.
 
@Stormtrooper217 What would be the point in even going to the trouble then ? 1) To include it in the credits, 2) To obviously go about getting the licences for it, Either its going to come good in which case well done PD or they wasted time and effort and money doing that, In which case I'm not surprised as PD do make some stupid decisions.

I am patiently waiting for more releases too. Aston Martin already showed their concept car, but we still don't know when it will be available for use.

By just looking at photo without reading, i've thought it's Ferrari ;) I don't think Aston Martin was exited of such plagiarism ;)

Maybe it was mentioned in a car's description/biography

Well many cars mention Porsche and it's models yet there is no Porsche mentioned anywhere in the credits.

The whole ordeal got me thinking. Brian Vickers didn't make a return and the 2013 NASCAR roster has 10 cars instead of 2010/11's 11. Maybe they wanted, or are going to, include her to fill that missing spot. Just a theory.
 
Actually, here's a few things about NASCAR
1. Vickers didn't return because the Red Bull team is dead. The remnants of the team are with BK Racing and the 83 car of David Reutimann. This wasn't going to happen because both the car and the driver suck and can't finish top 25.
2. GoDaddy SHOULD appear on Stewart's 2013 car. I haven't looked for it in game but on the paint scheme in real life it is there.
I wouldn't be shocked if they put her up for free DLC when the season starts back up in February. She's a horrible driver but she is popular and it would be the first ever time a female's race car has been included in Gran Turismo.

I think it looks fantastic too. I hope that's the right model too... still speculation only. I hate that the Vision GT doesn't have a detailed interior.
