Toyota FT1 Vision Gran Turismo - September. Teaser Movie Released.

[The Stig Farmer]

Well, there's no confirmation that this isn't just a track car yet.

Let's wait and see

 

[FT-1]

They are track cars, and track cars only. They are made for the track.

They are not race cars. They are not made for a racing series.

Track =/= race

But even then, it is not completely useless. If the FT-1 VGT was a real car, it could be used for research and development purposes, like the FXX (and P1 GTR in the future)

 

[MoLiEG]

Simply Brilliant.

Well done TOYOTA!!!!

 

[Bo]

But the SC430 is such an old model now (if it is still that...) and isn't the FT1 going into production possibly?

RCF. And it's dominant.

BTW, this car is DTM/SGT regs in aero appearance.

 

[Zona]

Awesome! Sounds like a gtr though.

[GTP_Jimbobo]

Didn't WhistleSnap (who has access to the game-code) say the Alfa Romeo VGT is already in the game code?

 

[stuff1138]

hmmm a VGT car that actually seems interesting to me...It looks like a pure racing machine. Can't wait to take it out and blast a few laps around Spa

Didn't WhistleSnap (who has access to the game-code) say the Alfa Romeo VGT is already in the game code?

There was talk of 2 others and yes one was the Alfa...I forget the other

 

[FS7]

Is PD going to make the useless VGT movie an optional download?

 

[Bo]

OKAY:

From the pics, the DTM/SGT swan neck rear wing reaches the edge of the body, which means it is the updated GT500 regulations spec aero kit. But has thicker/more sculpted endplates.

 

[Whistle Snap]

Subaru and Alfa Romeo.

 

[NICKname]

So it's just the racing version of an old car? Why is it a VGT?

 

[Madertus]

So... how does this count as VGT and the normal FT-1 doesn't?

 

[Bo]

So... how does this count as VGT and the normal FT-1 doesn't?

Because the FT-1 wasn't developed in conjunction with GT.

 

[DSkywalker01]

Please just have an interior.

I am very interested in this car, honestly it looks much more like a GTE spec car than SuperGT.

 

[guywithanAE86]

Goddammit Toyota, you've done it again! This car looks amazing, and if it's half as good as the FT-1 is, I can't wait to drive that.

I wonder what Toyota's real VGT car's gonna be like...

Absolutely not.

 

[Gejabo]

This looks promising

Part of the Vison GT project is that you get to witness the manufacturer's design team's vision. This means you must watch them in full HD.

 

[Bo]

Also important to note:

Two fixed brackets sitting flush with the main plane, so no DRS as per DTM/SGT regs.

 

[AudiMan2011]

A racing version of a concept car we already have in the game?

I thought that the VGT project was for car makers to give us concepts with an original design, not something based on an existing car with big wings and arches.

Does DTM/Super GT have DRS or not (sorry, I'm an idiot)?

Thank you for this .gif

DTM does, I'm not sure about GT500.

 

[Bo]

Yip:

DTM does, I'm not sure about GT500.

Slightly different brackets, same system.

I see you already forgot about the Mercedes VGT Racing series, Mitsubishi XR-Phev and the BMW VGT. You sure didn't seem to have a problem with those three despite them being based on previously existing cars.

I'm going to be that guy and say, while it looks fantastic, isn't it about time we get more real cars, the best DLC update for me was the Toyota and Lexus car update, this vision gt stuff is getting a bit stale for me.

 

[sparkytooth]

Hey guys, we forgot to build our VGT car for Gran Turismo, what do we do now? Oh wait, we can build it off of the other car we gave them a few months back, what was it? The FT-1? Oh right the FT-1, let's do this.

*And much rejoicing was had.

 

[Peatrie]

There are FT-1's racing at Zahara... Could this mean... maybe... possibly...

 

[Bo]

Whilst it's lazy, I couldn't think of a more awesome car to come up with.
