Which New Cars Would You Like to See Added to GT5?

[Kwicko]

Yeah, Porsche has to be the most glaring omission of a maker in the history of GT. That really needs to be rectified.

Thats not PDs fault, EA is the exclusive holder for the Porsche licenses.

This is not definitely an omission. I've read somewhere that PD doesn't have proper Porsche licensing (they refused, methinks) for this game, this is why we have some RUF instead. Maybe one day both PD and Porsche will come to an agreement.

Agreed to all. And I apologize if I came off like I was blaming Sony/PD for it (the words "glaring omission" *DO* make it read that way, I realize too late...). I know it's a licensing issue between the various companies.

But I would really, REALLY love for them to get it worked out with Porsche, with EA, with whomever. Porsche just has too rich a history in motorsports to NOT be a big part of this franchise. And that includes everything from the old 550 Spyder, the Speedster, through the 911/935/997 models, and most especially the 917 line. And let's not leave out the 904 while we're at it.

Carrera GT definitely has to be in that lineup, too. And they've got a couple of hot hybrids that are in the works that would add some fun to a few events.

Come to think of it, why NOT have some hybrid/electric races, ones in which you could actually recharge? Bring in the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt while we're at it. (Hey, they aren't my cup of tea, but it could bring whole new strategies to races, trying to find ways to maximize performance AND range)

To answer OP, we need Koenigseggs and Shelby GT500s

Agreed to all who said Koenigsegg. Far too potent a car to ignore. And more Shelbys can never be a bad thing, can it?

That Ferrari FF looks repulsive
But I wouldn't mind seeing some of their track specials. The FXX, F355 Challenge and 333SP would be great.

I think most supercars are ugly, its the aerodynamics and downforce aids. But when it comes to speed I dont go for looks.

 

[loz567]

yes yes and yes, get rid of the 90 different copies of each skyline, lancer, impreza, S2000, replace them with australian cars!!! now they know how to build a car, pick something and put a V8 in it!!!!

I take the FF to be their answer to the Porsche Panamera. Seems it's selling better than some people expected it to. I kinda like the FF, but then I liked the old BMW M Coupe and the MGB-GT, too.

But yes, FXX, F355 Challenge Stradale and more of their endurance racers would be quite nice.

A lot of interesting ideas in this thread, but a lot of them don't keep with the "theme" of GT5 to be a cross-section of automotive history.

A lot of significant cars were kept out of GT5 and I don't know why some many random cars made it in as premiums.

I'd honestly be happy with PD converting standard cars to premium, but If I had to choose;

-Aston Martin DB9 N24
-Aston Martin DBS
-Audi S4(09+)
-Audi RS4
-Quattro S1 Group B rally car
-E36/E30 M3
-BMW M1
-Jagermeister BMW 320i 89' Group 5
-Cadillac CTS-V 09'
-Cadillac LMP01 Race Car 01'
-Cheverolet Cruze BTCC
-Cheverrolet C6R 08'
-Ferrari F50
-Ferrari 333SP Prototype (Lista/Olive Garden chassis)
-Ferrari 250GTO
-Ford Mustang GT 11'
-Ford Mustang Boss 302 Trans-Am race car 70'
-Lexus Daytona Prototypes
-McLaren Can-Am race car
-Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Panamericana
-Nissan 300ZX IMSA race car
-Nissan 240Z Trans-Am BRE
-VW Jetta TDI Cup
-VW Scirocco R
-VW Toureg TDI Dakar 09'

but somehow "girly" forza got porsche license...

PD would replicate porsche's in the game to "german" standards...

[VoXEx]

GMC Syclone/Typhoon. The truck races were something that could be improved upon drastically.

More than any car, I would like to see more real-life events such as the PPIHC, 12 hours of Sebring, and Paris-Dakar Rally. Having 24-hour endurance races in the game has proven that the players will devote the time if the event exists, so why not?

Oh, and a revamp of the prize car system wouldn't hurt. Nothing better than Buying a Lupo Cup Car to win a Lupo 1.4...

 

[will4noobs]

aston martin race cars

 

[66'Roadster]

i wanna see more aussie cars.

ford fpv gtp

and also more v8 supercars

Ha I picked up one similar in the psp version, good car!

 

[KJSloan]

I would like to see:

Koenigsegg CCX, CCXR Edition, possibly the Agera, but most of all the CCGT!

Among others, I'd like to see more Aston Martin race cars as well...along with the V12 Vanquish.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe

2011 Mustang Boss 302 and Laguna Seca additions! The Base GT5.0 wouldn't hurt either

Ferrari FXX

And of recent news...the Noble M600!

 

[BlueSky]

I'd like to see PD get off their butts and work out a licensing arrangement with EA for Porsche. If Turn 10 can do it for the Forza series, then PD can too. They need to pay up for the licensing!!!! NOW!

I think it's an absolute joke to have a so called driving simulator and not include Porsche from the start.

We need a NEW CAR Dealership of Porsche PLEASE!!!! ARE YOU LISTENING PD? Work it out!!!!

RUF does not equal Porsche! Stop with the excuses and get it done!

 

[BlueSky]

This is not definitely an omission. I've read somewhere that PD doesn't have proper Porsche licensing (they refused, methinks) for this game, this is why we have some RUF instead. Maybe one day both PD and Porsche will come to an agreement.

Actually it's because EA retains all licensing for Porsche. It has nothing to do with Porsche themselves. PD needs to work out a licensing arrangement with EA in order to include them in GT5, but apparently they don't want to pay up to do this. Shame on them!

 

[jimmy gti]

european ford and vw content seem low to me so

escort mk1 mexico
sierra cosworth 3dr
rs500 cosworth
sapphire cosworth
escort cosworth
s1 escort rs turbo (never gonna happen)
mk2 golf gti
mk2 golf rallye
mk2 golf rallye "rally car"
mk3 golf vr6

 

[BlueSky]

Thats not PDs fault, EA is the exclusive holder for the Porsche licenses.

I respectfully disagree. It is PD's fault. They need to pay EA for the licensing. Turn 10 had no problem doing this, neither should PD.

Pay up PD! Get it done!!!!

 

[chouch]

I'm quite sure PD is gonna make a Ferrari Pack with the missing cars, newly annonced and maybe few classics :
250 GTO
288 GTO
F50
599 GTO
599 XX
FXX
FF


I would also like to see the Ariel Atom V8

 

[MIKE1FL]

I second the Stratos, what a machine! A Stratos with a 430 engine, I bet it shifts!
But id also like to see some Rovers, the old ones, the SD1 and the late 200 series (25)
For fun how about Hillman Imp, or Reliant Robin

I agree with the Reliant Robin, this should of been another challenge on the TopGear test track.

The "challenge" being to keep it off its roof!

Or how about the Reliant Scimitar!

Wouldn't that be sweet? Add the original Testa Rossa (not that horrible 512TR "cheese grater" thing!) and the old Daytona 365GTB/4 to that list.

I would also like to see the Ariel Atom V8

Sweet creeping Jesus - they put a *V8* in that thing? It was already insane with a four-banger!

 

[nw99]

I own a Ferrari 355, Porsche 964 3.6 Turbo and neither of those are in the game!
Massive dissapointment! Also about to buy a challenge 360 stradale and that's not even in the game! So to answer, the classic Porsches, more Ferraris, and more modern day supercars.

 

[dude2106]

Ariel Atom 300 and/or 500, Zonda Cinque, BMW M3 e30, Ferrari FXX, The original Audi Quattro, Gumpert Apollo, Veyron SS, GT1 race cars, Aston martin Vantage V12, Ascari A10, Koenigsegg CCXR, Maserati MC12, Caterham R500, Aston Martin DBR9. Can't really come up with more right now, but there is a lot of cars i miss : )

 

[birksy82]

sierra cosworth 3dr

^These^

The E30 & E36 M3's would be nice too.

 

[MIKE1FL]

There are many new cars i would like to see but the Ariel Atom would definatly be my favourite.

 

[Union]

Honestly, there are just too many to list..
Porsches are a start, but seeing some of the standard cars upgraded to premium would be nice too.

 

[blue devil]

When I saw te thread I thought the Ferrari ff before the page loaded. Lets see... Ferrari 599gto, 599xx, fxx,Lamborghini superleggera, koeniggseggs, chevy volt to kill the prius

 

[furai]

BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics, Pontiac TransAm, '79 Camaro, Ford Capri - and the AUDI R15, of course

 

[66'Roadster]

Four Fords:
Capri
Escort Cosworth/Mexico
Sierra Cosworth XR4
Fiesta XR2

 

[cydswipe]

I wouldn't mind some retro NASCAR models. Like the SuperBee racing series that Rickard Petty raced. A drag strip would be cool too, for quarter mile, half mile and mile long races.
