Your Real Life Car in Gran Turismo 6

JacksonSilva · Dec 12, 2013

I'm getting to play the game for the first time today.

IRL I have a "brazilian" version of VW Golf, which we call here Golf 4.5

It's basically the VW Golf MkIV, with some touches in it's looks, as soon as a get one in the game I'll post a picture

Woah. I'd never heard of a Golf 4.5 before, so I naturally ran straight to Google. That front end is very un-Golf-like to my eyes.

For anyone else not aware of these, here's a picture:

What does GT mean? Is it the same as a GTi?

^Is that a late 2000s Civic? A 2008(?) Civic Type-R (with wing remove, if possible) will do, it is the closest thing in-game.

No it wont.

They look nothing a like.

Lets not get started on the interior.

It is trim level.

I would assume GT would be pretty high end trim in europe.

In other counties they may call the low trim GTi to make it sound cool and sell more models

It's not the same as GTi, usually there's 3 models of this car here, GTi is the top model, GT is below it, with less acessories.

We went from Golf IV to this model, and it stayed like this untill this year, now we have the Golf VII

Just skipped right over the V and VI?

My 2008 300C SRT Design. Not quite as badass as a SRT8, but for a daily driver, the 5.7 Hemi is plenty.

In game 2005 300C

Here's mine, 2007 Honda S2000 in New Formula Red. I have everything set exactly as it is on my car in the game, down to the exact suspension settings and alignment.

Nick.. · Dec 14, 2013

Here's my 96 Honda Integra Tyre R. So wish they had a premium version on the game.

Ahh.... Had the same rear bumper (awkward for a 9 year difference) as mine and the five-hundred has a similar looking,tall, flat boot/trunk..

Yea there basically a rehash of the 500 with a more angled front end and more sportier suspension/looks.Alot quicker too depending on your engine choice but all and all its still basically a rehash of the five-hundred

Nope 6-speed 6F35 auto transmission with "selectshift" manual mode,3.0L 240hp engine..No manual option unfortunately.Alot of software issues reported with the transmission but I took a chance and haven't had an issue with the car besides the 4000$ of suspension work it needed last month

Don't worry.... It's not as bad as using a water bottle and acting as if it's a six speed H-pattern while making noises from a GTR...

You feel the weight for sure, but it has plenty of get up and go. For a 5300lb. car, the handling is pretty good. On the highway, I can go from 55 to 100+mph, in the length of an 18 wheeler.

I just spewed all my tea on my screen... I bet you're like "Now if only my 0-60 time was as fast as that.."
