I can sign on that!

If this thing returns, let's hope PD doesn't confuse horsepower with kilowatts again. GT2 had a lot of cool cars and tracks that have never reappeared in the series. Cars such as Venturi, Vector, the '97 Nissan R390 (Though the '98 lives on), the Renault Espace F1, and tracks such as Grindelwald and Red Rock Valley. The list goes on. So does the list of PD's mistakes, for that matter.

Preferred the 400GT in GT2 to be honest. Venturi and Vector were some great substitutes for the big supercar names missing from the Gran Turismo series at the time.

If it says Venturi and it predates the horrible god forsaken sick inducing era it is currently in then it is a massive yes from me. Love Venturi and I would love to see the Atlantique 400 and 600 mixing it up with Ferrari and Lamborghini...

If getting those old cars back meant putting in those modern cars I find so distasteful I could definitely let that slide.

You dont have GT2?

One of my all-time favs from GT2. Sad to realize it hasn't returned yet. Loved its looks, its power, and mad handling. Voted.👍

You dont have GT2?

No, I don't. I sold it with my PS when the PS2 came

The Classic from Gran Turismo 2

I'm still reeling that both Vector and Venturi haven't come back to GT. The Venturi 400/600 are solid staples in my GT2 top ten cars.

I believe it's mutual to have pictures of BOTH front and rear of the car. (for the people that just don't want to watch a video).

And of the interior as well.

In GT2, it was also Race Modified into an LM Version...

Getting back to the point of the thread, this, along with the other Venturi's were among the coolest cars featured on GT2.

I've only ever seen one for sale here in the UK, and it was for an almost stupidly cheap £29k. Much cooler than its Porsche, Ferrari et al rivals at the time IMO.
