How does it turn. XD
Good point, **** knows! It's an indy car so the obvious answer would be left but I'll probably get flamed into oblivion for saying it![]()

lol. DB9 is a terrible car.
1977 V8 Vantage is what you want

Maybe PD can make a DB10 Concept that looks better then all the Zagato ones.
Seeing the Citroen GT Concept today, I was wondering what could go a step further.
So I thought, maybe Polyphony is working already on a new concept for GT5?💡
I did not see any news on this, but thought we could inspirethem for a special car as a bonus a bit after the launch of GT5 as a marketing stunt.
====================================
My wish and quite a stretchwith the available news:
Porsche Concept by Polyphony Digital.
Building on the Porsche 959

and Carrera GT
![]()
, creating a concept of an extreme racer that introduces Porsche in the series.
P.S.: Mods I looked in the search and did think this was a different from what I found till now. Opinions can be different though.
Damn, people are so stubborn about Porsche, after Kaz said "No" multiple times in interiews, they still go on about it.
That would then make a Gran Turismo concept Ford GT2012 based on the GT90 of 1995.
Off Topic: I understood the GT90 was to be sold at an auction a month ago, but I never found the result of the sale. Did anybody see this?
If Batman drove in IRL, that would be his car.EDIT: I'd like to see something as bonkers as this "Amazing New Indycar" courtesy of here
^ 👍 Good point, the thread is about what amazing concepts we would like to see.
I think I remember reading somewhere that it had a 5.0 GM V8. I think it needs more to make it competitive.
Crowley started the process of designing the Tumbler for the film by model bashing. Crowley used the nose cone of a P-38 Lightning model to serve as the chassis for the Tumbler's turbine engine. Six models of the Tumbler were built to 1:12 scale in the course of four months. Following the scale model creation, a crew of over 30 people, including Crowley and engineers Chris Culvert and Annie Smith, carved a full-size replica of the Tumbler out of a large block of Styrofoam in two months.[37]
The Styrofoam model was used to create a steel "test frame", which had to stand up to several standards: have a speed of over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5 seconds, possess a steering system to make sharp turns at city corners, and withstand a self-propelled launch of up to 30 feet (9.1 m). On the first jump test, the Tumbler's front end collapsed and had to be completely rebuilt. The basic configuration of the newly designed Tumbler included a 8.7-liter Chevy V8 engine, a truck axle for the rear axle, front tires by Hoosier (which are actually dirt racing tires used on the right rear of open wheel sprint cars), rear 4x4 mud tires by Interco., and the suspension system of Baja racing trucks. The design and development process took nine months and cost several million dollars.
With the design process complete, four street-ready race cars were constructed, with each vehicle possessing 65 panels and costing $250,000 to build. Two of the four cars were specialized versions. One version was the flap version, which had hydraulics and flaps to detail the close-up shots where the vehicle propelled itself through the air. The other version was the jet version, in which an actual jet engine was mounted onto the vehicle, fueled by six propane tanks. Due to the poor visibility inside the vehicle by the driver, monitors were connected to cameras on the vehicle body. The professional drivers for the Tumblers practiced driving the vehicles for six months before they drove on the streets of Chicago for the film's scenes.
The interior of the Tumbler was an immobile studio set and not actually the interior of a street-capable Tumbler. The cockpit was over-sized to fit cameras for scenes filmed in the Tumbler interior. In addition, another version of the Tumbler was a miniature model that was 1:5 scale of the actual Tumbler. This miniature model had an electric motor and was used to show the Tumbler flying across ravines and between buildings. However, the actual Tumbler was used for the waterfall sequence.
