The Vision GT Thread - Car No.18-20 SRT Tomahawk S GTS-R X Vision GT - STILL 26/06/15

[Niku Driver HC]

It seems official. Just a few days before it will be released to the public according to:

http://m.tf1.fr/frontend.php/site/2587204/news/5293667

It also says it is thé next VGT to arrive.

And TF1 still calls it an Onyx... I don't know if they are right about that, but I guess they must know something that we don't, for them to use that name.

Early may updates? What is this magic?

Early may updates? What is this magic?

It's apparently magic so strong, that PD has said nothing about this whole Peugeot business. Is it because they forgot? Or is it because they believe that Peugeot does a good enough job hyping the car themselves? That's what worries me; PD hasn't posted a single thing about this in GT's website as we speak. But then again, they have so far said nothing about the 9 or so pictures that read "Bertone x Vision GT" which linger around the Internet, so...

 

[sparkytooth]

Well they don't really tease them until they're near release, atleast recently.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well they don't really tease them until they're near release, atleast recently.

But it does seem that Peugeot is the one doing that job; most of the pictures they have been posting recently look like the sort of teasers PD would do for a VGT. Well, we'll know that soon enough, I guess.

Volkswagen did the same with the SuperSport.

Volkswagen did the same with the SuperSport.

True, true. Guess when brands have a solid marketing division, it always spares PD from doing that job themselves. Volkswagen even bothered to create an entire website for both of their projects...

My guess is that a reveal will happen by friday.

Hmm, it is a plausible idea. Let's how it will unfold...

Meanwhile, on a slightly related note, Road & Track talks about the latest member of the "real-size VGT" crew:

I think it is going to be released today because tomorrow here in France it's an official day off. The promo pictures released by Peugeot until so far seem to show the "road" version while the picture showed by @RACECAR shows a "race" version.

Peugeot is the 16th car to be released in the VGT project. This number is shown on the "race" version. Also T16 is used as a spec by Peugeot. Not sure to which it refers because. If it is a non-diesel I assume it will be the T16 engine from Loeb's 208 T16 Pikes Peak.

I wonder if there will be an update in May ?

Very nice

If we will, one can bet that the Peugeot might be a part of it.

Nice find, it looks like this Peugeot will indeed be a red and black car when it comes to main colour. Of course, it won't hurt having a few extra colours available...

 

[sparkytooth]

I don't know how to feel about the red grille.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I don't know how to feel about the red grille.

Well, it accentuates the sportiness of the car, if anything. And it isn't the strangest design feature I've seen in a car (cough Alpine brake flaps cough)... I bet other colours of the car (if it has them) might change the colour of the grille.

 

[sparkytooth]

Again, not as Onyx-ey as I thought.

Yeah, and the design of the grille is the newer version of the Peugeot grille; it features the "Peugeot" name on the top, and the Lion symbol in the center.

Has there been any "hidden" interiors in recently-released VGT cars? (aside from the Alpine)

^or an ingame photo of THAT

No, not that I remember at least. The closest we got was the Mini during its trailer, but that isn't its interior; it's the interior of Mini's Dakar car...

Well, that image was already posted a while ago, but thanks for finding it again. It's one of Peugeot's concept renders, that was leaked by GT6 players.

Apologies for the double post, but our latest VGT entry has been unveiled:

Please welcome the Peugeot VGT (it doesn't have an actual name); a 4WD, 875 hp supercar. That also weighs 875 kg. No, I am not kidding...

​

More info about the car here (thanks to @DarthMosco): http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_5283440.html

And it will come in 6 colors! Was written on the Peugeot website

6 colours, eh? Does it say what colours will they be?

 

[CTznOfTime]

Why dont they call it the Peugeot ROAR?

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Why dont they call it the Peugeot ROAR?

Because that would be kind of silly. I'd call it the Peugot Onze (French for eleven, which makes sense considering the 1-to-1 power-to-weight ratio of the car)...

OMG, a new Vehicle

Looks amazing, not quite Onyx as many people were saying (I think it actually looks better) but still great.

Also:

Interesting that I see this because I just came across what is supposedly a leaked pic from the game:

Turns out it indeed was:

 

[CTznOfTime]

Or Peugeot 121
For 1-to-1 ratio

Or Peugeot Un Deux Un
Which is getting even sillier

To push it even further: Peugeot UDU

Ahaha, that last one is terrible. Thank godness you don't work for Peugeot's marketing area.

I still abide to my Onze namesake, thank you.
