FTO Tourning Car!!! No additional mods, this thing is a monster for a ~420ish HP 4WD car! Been on of my favorites since GT2 (or 3, can't remember it's first appearance)

the RS200 is actually 4WD - a homologation model for the WRS

The RS200 isn't American.

 

[Indy Racerfan]

If I find it the Pagani Zonda LM. I abused that car in GT4 like no other

um no

It's American.. It's a Ford, it's in my garage, and I'm looking at it right now American flag in the upper left right by the name.

just because the group was working to develop it in England doesn't necessarily mean it's not American. that would be akin to saying the focus is not American because it was developed in Europe first.

It's not American, the parent company is American (Ford Motor Corporation) but it has subdivisions in Europe (Germany and UK), Australia and other countries/continents as well, this doesn't mean all those cars are American, in fact a lot are developed without any American influence at all.

It's the same as Opel and Vauxhall being respectively German and British whilst the parent company is the American giant General Motors, the only difference is that the parent company of Ford is called Ford as well.
And more importantly it's just a lazy and easy way for PD to not overcomplicate labelling these cars properly according to the nation of origin which has consequences like the Focus not being eligible for European events in GT5 whilst being a purely European car.

Exactly. See also https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=141478&page=3

It's rather like saying Liverpool Football Club isn't a British club because it's owned by some Americans.

Do alot of rare cars appear in the UCD when your on a high level?

It's not American, it was designed and built in England. It uses a Cosworth engine.

At the same token, the Focus isn't really an American car either.

It's like saying this is an American car:

Anglia for DLC!

On a side note, a road RS200 held the record for the fastest accellerating production car for many years, I forget the exact time but was something like 3.5 seconds 0-60, not even beaten by the F40 and 959. Awesome car, and would be iconic had Group B rally not ended so disastrously.

no it doesn't matter what level you are. I had a formula gran turismo show up on my 7th game day. the ucd is a set master list but where you start in the master list is random

my favorite rare car is the corvette C5-R (C5) 00

Thanks for the clarification 👍

It's funny how PD will make a Ford (AU) for literally one car, but no Ford (EU) for the countless European Ford's in the game. 👎

BMW 320i Touring Car
Sticks to the road like glue. Too bad it maxes below 350hp. This car is begging for more power.

 

[MGS2 Snake]

The Alfa 8C. Easily one of the most beautiful cars in GT5.

^^^What he said. Not to mention that the Ford was never sold in the US.



As for my favorite, the NSX-R Prototype LM road car. Handles like a dream & revs over 10,000 rpms. And you can paint it.
