watch for new info at Tokyo Game Show

Did anyone else see a CLK GTR? When the video was streaming it came in chunks and would freeze. I happened to freeze a part of the vid where the CLK GTR was behind the Peugeot Lemans car, If u pause it i'm sure u can clearly see what i'm saying, it's near the first quarter of the vid.

 

[LowBatt]

Sorry to get anyone's hopes up, it was a Panoz NOT a CLK GTR.
if u want to check it out it's at the 1:02 - 1:03 min part on the vid

 

[Dave A]

Yeah unfortunately not the CLK-GTR, which will probably never appear in a GT game as it aws taken out of GT2 last min due to certain Mercedes reasons (probably the crash at LeMans where one took off and landed in the tree), but it's nota car Mercedes like to talk about anymore.

New TGS vid at fileplanet:

This shakey-cam Quicktime video shows some great racing action from Gran Turismo 4. Some narrow road driving between buildings is shown along with it's awesome graphics.

It's free, and there's many free servers to download (but you're to wait at the place of your line, ~30 minutes)

ed: wow! gorgeous hi-res in-game view of Citta di Aria, *must download*

The CLK GTR could be in GT4 and it is a good candidate for the le mans type racers to be entered. It wasnt the GTR that was taken out from GT2, it was the DTM race car. it was unbadged in the game leading loads of people to think it was the gtr, i have played with it by using an emulator on my pc and a cheat program, it wasnt all that spectaculor anyway. By the way it was the CLR that flew off at lemans, thats why it was scrapped, but really it was probably the fastest version in the line of CLK evolutions. heres a pic of the clr that flipped, its like an aeroplane wing, no wonder it took off!

 

[Dave A]

The CLK GTR was in GT2, the GTR was badged and in the first set of photos.

 

[Dave A]

As for the crash two CLK GTR's crash in cosecutive years at LeMans and you can read about it all here.

D'oh! - I should have noticed that. I was there last summer

 

[DelBoy]

Isnt venice like, all watery?

 

[Dave A]

Yeah but theres still plenty or roads to race around on, should have some great trackside scenery.

And here was I thinking I might like to end up head over heels in the scrub. Darn!
BTW both cars left the ground at LM, but the first few times it was Mark Webber, their #2 driver so they blamed his driving

I spotted smart on two of those folders:

You can turbo the sub 1 litre 3 cylinder engines you know....
prob a good rival for the alto works etc.

shame there isn't car damage in GT4, I'd love to blow up a 'Smart' car....

LOL I saw a movie clip once where two dutch guys took a Smart for a test drive and completely wasted the thing. They abused the little smart until it finally stopped in a wheat field (!)

Yep the Smart City has a turbo, have you seen the Barabus Smart roadster, I hope thats in GT4 cos it can beat a Boxster and it would be a fun car to drive.

 

[DelBoy]

I saw a story about a brabus smart roadster, It had two of the 3 cylinder engines combined to make a V6 and it had twin turbochargers. Had nearly 250hp. The picture of it was quite obscured as their was a huge amount of smoke eminating from the rear tyers. That would be a sweet car to have in GT4.

 

[Dave A]

Theres only going to be ten of them produced.

 

[ZEE]

this one?

 

[driessie]

This one:

Looks like some little bomb to me!

 

[Dave A]

You can see th engine through the rear window, ar first I was thinking that can't be a good sign having the engine that high up but then I remeberd how small the car is.

 

[Yazza]

Live4Speed, ive seen that pic from GT2 preveiws in a magazine before, but like i said it was never in the final game, hidden or available. the car that was hidden and left in the code for some strange reason was an unbadged DTM style race car.
below is a faq produced by someone, not saying everything he says is 100% true, i havent read it all, but it seems pretty spot on on the issues ive read.

Heres a link.

or if you trust IGN they say basically the same.

here

heres the actual race car that made it in to GT2

 

[Yazza]

Live4Speed, do you have the same name on supercars.net forums, im sure i saw a post with the same name there?

 

[Dave A]

Yep, I use SC.net as well with the same name, as for that CLK rac car I've never seen that one in a GT game before, at least thats sorted out now.

 

[amar212]

Yazza, where the phuck did you get that car in GT2?

 

[Dark Skyline]

cant wait for this game to come out.
