VIP Community Cars

[Terronium-12]

Just received both of these only minutes ago, and unlike the other gifted VIP cars these go straight to your garage, no purchasing necessary.

Anyone else get these?

 

[alba]

Let me fire up my 360 and check.

EDIT: Yep got them, straight into my cars and no purchasing

 

[Terronium-12]

Great. That reassures me that I wasn't going crazy.

 

[Spencer]

Not yet here but good to know they're coming

So are you saying you get the LT envelope telling you they were there to accept, or they just appeared without any interaction?

You see the envelope that says something along the lines of "Gifted to you" I can't remember, but you do that and download them individually and there you go. 👍

Yes.

Don't worry guys, these are just liveries...not tuned at all besides wheels and body mods.

 

[crea]

Yes.

yea, a stock RX8 is in A600 class

 

[Bogie 19th]

Picked the cars up out of my gift box. Thanks for the 411!

Agreed it is definitely tuned as is the R8 4.2 (stock A508), how well is open for debate. I tried the R8 4.2 out the other night and was pretty underwhelmed. I knew it wouldn't have the top end or acceleration of my A600 5.2, but it sure as heck didn't seem to corner much better either. I haven't done significant side by side comparisons, but thus far I know I'm measurably faster on all tracks in the "storefront tuned" 5.2 than the T10 tuned 4.2. Gotta admit I was expecting more.

Non VIP members can't even see the liveries Oh dear...

 

[Chronos]

Thanks. Without this thread I wouldn't of known.

Only messages I've seen is the LCE theme.

Shame when you get close the livery its very blurry.

Same for every livery, textures are really low res

Ok after some further testing I need to take back some of the negative things I said about T10's 4.2 tune. I tried it out on Mugello Club and I did manage to shave 1 full second off my prior fast time with it. So although the 5.2 will undoubtedly beat it on the high speed courses, it most definitely can hold its own on the shorter/grip focused tracks. <removes foot from mouth>

Seems we're getting another VIP car this weekend...

Turn 10 Studio Blog

 

[Chronos]

Just the gift cars.

It's two Acura 66 de Ferran Mortorsports ARX-02a race cars. Cost 2 million in the game.

Not a big fan of these types of car but cool none the less.

 

[Terronium-12]

Two?

I thought it was just one?

 

[Chronos]

Two?

Yeah two of the same car, just different liveries.

 

[Eric.]

Again, I really hope VIP becomes more than just getting free paintjobs...

In the longrun I believe it will be, this is just a way to get the "exclusivity" started.

Or, so I hope.

Pic of the car. The other livery is white/grey.

 

[Terronium-12]

They've been sent out already?

Haven't gotten mine...

 

[Joey D]

Hey, at least we are getting something for spending the extra money on the game. I'll take anything like that, even if it is just a livery.

This design would be pretty cool if it wasn't for the acura blue clashing with the electric yellow/green. Blech . How does that get past QC?

It's accurate to what the real one looks like, though...

I see. Well that let's T10 off the hook but now I ask whose blind at Acura?

Although it doesn't look like T10 got the green quite right... no big whup, just sayin'.

The one in the game isn't too far off, it's just different lighting. It was almost night when I shot the real pic at Laguna a few weeks back, so colors are a bit more subdued, and the light is a bit blue-ish 'cause it was somewhat overcast.
