Well, if PD buys a sweatshop of 100 talented Indian modelers, that’d be about 400 cars per year, and about 4 years to add to what’s in GTS (and what I project to be in GT7), and bring the total count to the 2000 mark.
I really doubt PD has done or will do anything to that scale. It sounds like we may have an uptick in content turnout rate, but 2000 is quite a number, and you never know if PD will raise their bar of minimum quality standards again, dumping out a lot of their list.
Also, does anyone have 2000 cars specifically in mind?
It can be possible, in a future Gran Turismo even after what's offered on the PS5, theoretically, if you combine every Premium car we've seen so far in GT5, GT6 and GT Sport, as well as every possible car from the Forza series that isn't exclusive to them, but this would mean a lot of licensing, modeling and outsourcing to do. But either way, you're looking at at least 2,000 cars, or something close to it.
However, some cars in Forza that are exclusive to them, such as:
- Hoonigan cars
- LEGO Speed Champions cars
- Barrett-Jackson cars
- Fictional cars from Fallout, Final Fantasy and Halo
- Forza/Xbox-sponsored race cars
- Cars original to Forza (Chevy/Dodge/Ford stock cars in Motorsports 3 and 4, a Super GT-style Hyundai Genesis and even tuned cars from Motorsports 1 and 2 that aren't even proper project vehicles - just cars with special body kits and fictitious liveries with near-default or fictitious specs)
- Modern Formula 1 cars that are in (or were) in Forza
However, in order to do that, in this theory, this would require Polyphony to have an astronomical budget and plenty of connections to do the outsourcing, licensing and modeling, as well as having to make many deals with plenty of motorsports-governing bodies, car culture organizations and more (heck, even Universal Studios for authentic Fast & Furious cars, which Slightly Mad have wasted their license on). They will also need to have more manpower and to set up shop in more locations for these purposes, and plus, those for quality check.
