If Polyphony was hiding these, then what else are they hiding from us?
No, just no, sorry. GT3 Cars are already homologated based on their road going counterpart, they already share their chassis with their respective road going models, it's not like they're prototypes in disguise (like late '90s GT1s were) and need for homologation special road cars to get inside the rules.
Even if we ignore that and we force ourselves to pretend those fantasy "FIA approved" Gr.3 cars are based off the chassis of these "homologation specials", they still would never be approved for homologation IRL by FIA, because only massed produced car's chassis are allowed to be the base for GT3 cars (in the effort to eliminate guess what?? Homologation specials!)
Guys, let's just face reality and realize it's just another cheap way PoDi's found to fill up the cars list
Even if this is an hyperbolic ironic video, we all know it's gone more or less like this when they decided to make those ""homologation specials"".
The dislikes from diehard fans on that video show that my little parody has a point![]()
I suppose the Group 3 Corvette road car will be a nice substitute for the Z06 at least until we get the real Z06.I like it, it reminds me of the many cars even in the 2000's, until the end to the GT1 series.
I'm really curious to see if the interiors are different from the normal road cars or respective race cars.
That corvette is looking sexy as hell, much prettier than the z06 IMO
You mean like base models? GT Sport doesn't seem to have base models as separate vehicles, it just seems you can take any race car and mess with the livery. These fake homologation specials are distinct from GT6's base model cars. The base models are still full race cars, just without any livery or sponsorship decals and you can paint them. Bodies in white, basically. The new homologation specials are supposed to be "production" versions of these race cars.Is it possible that these are un-decorated cars for reasons related to the livery editor?

I just really hope that the inclusion of the car in question is not an excuse for them not to bother considering the Z06. This whole idea seems cheap to me and that would be an equally cheap excuse.
AI has been spotted driving them, however it cannot be accessed, it is unknown if it can be acquired from Daily Workout rewards either. It is only known that it can be bought using Mileage points the same way Safety Cars can be acquired, as these vehicles are not available in Brand Central.Has anyone been able to get one of these "homologation" models in the demo?
