This is unlikely, but at least for F1, some of what I want are the following (sorted by brand):
Ferrari:
- 312T2 (Lauda, Villeneuve)
- F2004 (Schumi)
- F2007 (Raikkonen) - appeared in GT5
- F10 (Alonso) - appeared in GT5
- SF71-H (Vettel)
- SF90 (Leclerc)
McLaren:
- M23-D (Hunt)
- MP4/2C (Prost)
- MP4/4 (Senna)
- MP4-13 (Hakkinen)
- MP4-20 (Raikkonen)
- MP4-23 (Hamilton)
Renault:
- Williams FW14B (Mansell)
- Benetton B195 (Schumi)
- Williams FW18 (Hill)
- R26 (Alonso)
- Red Bull RB9 (Vettel)
- Red Bull RB10 (Ricciardo)
Mercedes:
- Brawn BGP-001 (Button)
- W07 (Rosberg)
- W08 (Hamilton) - appeared in GTS
BMW:
- Brabham BT52 (Piquet)
- Williams FW25 (Montoya)
- F1.08 (Kubica)
Honda:
- BAR 006 (Button)
- Red Bull RB15 (Verstappen)
Lotus:
- 72 (Rindt, Fittipaldi)
- 97T (Senna) - appeared in GT6
- E20 (Raikkonen)
I think I'd be entirely fine if we just had the W08, 97T, and both the F2007 and F10, as far as Formula One goes. Maybe I'd also add Fraga's Formula 3 car, as well as have the other two Senna cars return. Plus there was the SF19, which I'd definitely keep. An Indycar could be neat, too. Maybe even a more unusual F1 car, like the Alfa Romeo-Brabham fan car, or one of the few F1 cars powered by a Lamborghini engine. Personally, I'd love a 1960s F1 car, like a Honda or Lotus, maybe both. To be honest, I think one per decade would suffice, with the 1990s, 1970s, 1960s, and 1950s being the notable eras that are exempt. Perhaps for that last one, a classic Bugatti grand prix car would be ideal, and an old Mercedes-Benz machine to compliment it.
Ferrari 355, 550, 575, 360, 430
Lambo: all kinds of Diablo and Gallardo models
I don't think we need
that many Gallardo/Diablo models. I'd pick both the Diablo GT and GT2 that's been in the series so far, but also the pre-facelift version of the Diablo SV, as I believe the GT and GT2 are based on the post-facelift versions. Meanwhile, as for the Gallardo, I think the 2nd-gen Gallardo we have is a good start, but I'd also compliment it with the first-gen Gallardo Superleggera, and then the LP560-4 Edizione Technica - the latter is technically still part of the second-generation, but I think it looks different enough from the more typical second-gen car that's already been in the series insofar that I'd include it.
This, of course, is before we get into racecars - I'd add the
JGTC Diablo we've seen for much of the Gran Turismo series, as well as a GT3-spec Gallardo to compliment the GT3 Huracan. I am, however, unsure if the JGTC Diablo would go into Gr.2 or Gr.3, as this particular Diablo does have a power figure comparable to the Aston Martin DBR9, which is indeed classified as being within Gr.3.
As for Ferrari, I think it'd be perfectly acceptable to bring back the F430 and F430 Scuderia, as well as the SP1. (I'm especially fond of that last one.) I am unsure about the other models, but I would certainly endorse bringing in the 360. But I'm unsure if the game would truly benefit from including both the 550 and 575, as they fulfilled the same niche in Ferrari's lineup. I think I'd slightly prefer the 550, if only because I have memories driving it in NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. Why not, instead of both the 550 and 575, something like the FF or GTC4Lusso, or the F12, or maybe a truly classic model, like the Testarossa or perhaps one of the many models from the 50s, 60s, or 70s?
