This.

Adjusted for inflation as of 2009 the F40 would cost (MSRP) $761.725.35

The McLaren F1 would cost $1,495,652.89 as of 2009, again, with the MSRP. Neither of these take various options into account.

I don't think it would translate exactly to that real-world figure in GT5. GT is usually in the ballpark for car prices, but never pinpoint accurate. I'd still go with 750,000-1,000,000 credits.
 
Don't they go used for over a million? PD has done ballpark used prices for previous classic cars in the game when bought new, so I'd be surprised if it was under a million.

If I am not mistaken, most every car in GT4 that is worth 1,000,000 credits or more is a modified racing car or a Le Mans car; the Team Oreca Viper,for example.

Most McLarens aren't very high mileage (or get "re-freshed" by McLaren), so they do tend to sell at around $2 million+.

Here is a link to a company that has a few of them for sale. they have the normal F1 cars, the LM converted cars and one long tail car

That's a website that claims to know which ones are for sale, but they are old photos.

The orange one was Dan Kennedy's that has recently made its way back to Woking. It was just recently pictured next to the new MP4-12C there by EVO.
The blue one was last seen in Seattle, Washington & has not been for sale since 2006.
The 4th is currently for sale at SPS Automotive in Hong Kong. Has been so for months.
The last one was for sale by Bingo Sports until a few short months back.

They're displaying a tiny die cast model at the HQ?

From GT PSP, right? What did the Veyron cost?

A tad off topic again, but what did the ZR1 cost?
Click to expand...

The Veyron is 2 million creds, and the ZR1 is a 140,000 creds.
 
ZR1 goes from 106,000-113,000 in real life so yea, GT sets the prices pretty close!

in gt4 car prices were based on performance not mileage or rarity

No they wern't. Why did that classic Skyline cost 420,000Cr which is more than most of the supercars let alone just cas faster than it? Why did the TVR Speed 12 cost less than 200,000Cr but the Jaguar XJ220 over 700,000Cr? Prices in GT games have always to a degree, treid to reflect a real world economy. That doesn't mean that they price the cars to exacltey what they are in real life, but they try imitate the real prcing market. Cars like the Caterham are fast as stink on a track, but they're significantly cheaper than cars half as fast as them beacuse they don't use exotic parts, they are cheap to build and a relatively low prestige brand.
 
^ Because certain cars are considered lengendary which means they cost alot more money.

No! You could have thought about that before posting. I clearly said it is a model of the car that is at McLaren
 
It was a joke, relax.

Which means that "prices in GT games have always to a degree, tried to reflect a real world economy."
 
^And they do pretty well!

Obviously they don't mark them as exactly the same, but they are definitely within belief of real-world prices.

So expect to pay around 1.6 million Cr for the McLaren F1 then. Thats not a bad thing if you think about it.. because you can transfer Cr from Prologue plus cars, correct?
 
It may be pricless^. Meaning it could be a prize car. For example, it might be the car you earn aftering winning the (very difficult)European Supercar Festival. In order to win, you'd have to beat out all the supercars in Europe from the Enzo to the Murcielago LP670-4 SV to the McLaren SLR to the RUF RT-12 and so on.
 
How about the muscle cars in GT4? I don't remember the costs, but it wasn't that much, was it? I mean, a completely original, matching numbers '71 Hemi Cuda in perfect condition would be worth $1,000,000+ in real life...

Yes, the muscle cars were under 100,000 if I recall correctly.

Barret Jackson auto auctions anybody? Those muscle cars are worth millions people. In game though if there was a million dollars or more price tag on them I would never buy them until the end of the game and I wanted to collect all the cars available.

For those who are interested, here's a video of the F1 at Suzuka during the 1996 JGTC season.

Wow, that's Ralf Schumacher at the end of that Suzuka race at 2:00. No idea he was in JGTC...

He only raced the 1996 season, he won 3/6 of the races he was in.

And Pedro de la Rosa, who won it one year.

Japan has always been a last resort kind of place for European racing drivers to prove themselves when they run out of money or chances in Europe. Normally its Formula Nippon but some also do sportscars. Whether or not this makes those series particularly high on skills is debatable, I mean Ralf and Pedro are not the cream of the racing world.
 
Am 100% sure that we will see that Pink\black F1 GTR from 1996 in GT5!!!!:sly:
 
I hope this one is in. Looks mint
