This car is sitting in my UCD right now. It looks very intriguing, great aerodynamic shape. It does however cost 1.5mil so I'd like to know how this car handles. Also, the weight is not given. (why don't they give all the info for some cars?) Can you add a wing to this thing to increase some downforce?

Certainly not worth the price, I haven't driven this car, though it's a nice looker and is pretty rare. I've only encountered it once.
 
I think its 600hp and 1200kg. Its a similar speed to the Jag XJ220 on most tracks

0-62mph (100) kph 3.5 sec
Top speed 217mph (350ish kph)

Cant really comment too much about handling as it depends on style and aids etc. Its a bit more sluggish into turns than Enzo and stuff like that.
 
It was one of my favorites from GT4. Haven't driven it yet in GT5. Saving for a 330 p4 so I had to pass on it when it came to my UCD yesterday.
 
I have one, best thing about it is it's rarity. Nice looking with a lot of straight line power, as an earlier poster said, if you have some spare creds then it is cool.
 
Can be tuned to 829Hp after rebuild. Can't put a wing on it though. But you can paint it. I have not driven mine much. I think it handles okay. Sounds nice too. Probably not the best car for the money though..

Well, it is a CONCEPT car, so I doubt it'll handle well.

There are plenty of concept cars (both road and race varieties) that handle extremely well (NSX R LM road car, GSX-R/4, GT-R LM, 350Z LM, etc.). The Nardo isn't bad at all -- in fact, it's quite good for how fast it is and how easy it is to underestimate your speed when entering a corner.

I must have exaggerated, but a lot of expensive concept cars handle bad, such as the Le Mans R8 Concept (or whatever it's called).
The NSX R LM Road Car is brilliant!
 
I've seen this come up regularly in the supercar oval races, and it's blindingly fast in those races (have had to to some cheeky blocking manouvres every now and then to stop it)...

on the other circuits in the supercar events it didn't seem to fare so well so maybe the handling isn't the best

not seen it yet in the UCD but will defo get it if I have enough credits
 
Well I passed on it and bought 3 sweet rally cars instead. I like cars that handle really well. This one just looked too risky in that department to chance it.
 
This car handles really well, and it is very quick. I race this car online alot and haven't lost with it, only lost to race cars and it can keep up with them.(stock car) It is must buy car in my opinion.
 
As a stock car I think its awesome, it handles great for a "supercar". At some point you should drive it/buy it, and yeah its a bit expensive but who cares.
 
l am a fanatical VW nut, and this car has been second on my "goal" list since I bought the game (Behind the X2010, of course). I was more than a little ticked when I saw this stupid level / UCD way of distributing cars. I'd rather just, you know, buy the cars I want instead of trolling through Mazda after Mazda in the UCD (there are FIVE in there right now - Two identical Eunos roadsters).

For the last week I have been grinding one race at a time and darting back to check for this one. No luck. Thanks for the enjoyable gaming experience, PD. Really.

For those that have seen it, can you give me an idea of what was in your UCD just before it so I can maybe gauge when it's going to show up for me.

I could also trade about 74 RX-7's for one ;)

Well try the marketplace, you might just be able to arrange that trade.
 
It's extremely fast, especially after stage 3 engine tuning which gives it over 800bhp. It also handles pretty well due to the ability to adjust the front and rear downforce.

Is it worth the price? It depends on how much you're going to use it.

It kinda is a early veyron. W engine... :dopey:

It's a bit understeery in the game. Don't buy it if you don't have spare money. If you do, it's a nice one to have in garage.

It's the same engine which you can find in Audi A8 (6.0 W12).
