Whipped this up...it's pretty amazing how much difference a premium car can be.

The main differences seem to come from the texture work. The standard looks very pixelated, whereas the premium is crisp and clear. I reckon if PD gave the standards some higher resolution textures, you wouldn't be able to tell these two apart unless you looked very closely.
 
Oh well, nice but not worth the money for a car I'm probably not going to use.

I can understand charging a few bucks to add brand new cars, but to charge to pretty up content that already exists seems..... wrong.
 
Amazing the difference. Elimination of the blurry textures. One big difference that is appreciated is the angling of the intake. But there are some curious changes, such as the little square on top of the cockpit in the standard version, but gone in the premium (and a good thing, that square does not belong there). I am a little disappointed that PD changed the rims and wheels altogether.

Here's a pic of the real one, for reference. ;) (I had forgotten that Silk Cut is a tobacco company, heheheh)

The black wheels are right for the Le Mans entry

Edit: ^ what Jason said

They were correct for Le Mans in 88 and the IMSA Castrol cars. Yet they raced the gold ones (which they do look better on the Silk Cut car) at other races. Most likely an aero/stability thing.

I don't get why only this car was upgraded of all of the other really awesome standard cars. Seems a completely random choice, I would have thought the Toyota GT1 or one of the Nissans would have been upgraded before this one.
 
Does the premium one sound better than the standard? It seemed to, but I forgot how the standard one sounds like. :D
 
Random? It won at Le Mans, unlike the GT-One or the Nissans.

Okay so did the Audi R8 and Peugeot 905, my point is there's plenty of other cars just as worthy, I don't understand why just this one. I'm not complaining, I think its an awesome car, just a bit confused.

Kinda pissed me off that we already had this car in the game as a standard, and now we had to pay good money to be able to use it as a premium. It should of came as a premium to begin with.

Anyone else feel this is wrong and shady practice?, or is it just me?.
