Very cool. Excited for the eventual inclusion of these cars!

I'm actually more interested in the Pebble Beach winners than the SEMA winners.

I'd have rather PD scanned an unmolested example which is exactly what I feel about all these other "just one guys car" show winners.
These cars appeal to me even less than the VGT batmobiles, Thank god were getting iconic cars with storied histories like the VW Sambabus.

I agree. I understand why the VGT's are there from contractual arrangements and manufacturers original intent to gain interest especially from young people. These cars though are one off tuned representations and I personally do not get the concept at all....
Each to their own though as recognise SEMA etc have their own fans too and GT traditionally as a 'car encyclopedia' wants to appeal to all.

I think it bothers me more based on them being modified cars and PD have taken away our ability to modify cars to a certain degree, Whilst it could look good for a photo with a highly modified Evo etc, Oh wait we can't stick a huge wing on said Evo and make it look more like a street racer.
As you can see it kind of doesn't fit

Normally, I'd agree — or at the very least, I'd like the stock car alongside the GT Award winners.
However, with GT Sport completely missing a half-decent upgrade system, I'm actually less bothered by it. They can be used for one-make races, and given the comparatively small car list, that can happen more often in Sport Mode than it could in, say, GT6. PD could even make an Awards-specific race if it wants, though that'd probably be hard to balance given the variety on offer. The '51 wouldn't know which way the Rampage went!
Meanwhile, I feel like the Samba will be little more than a rolling canvas in GT Sport. I remember the numbing Top Gear GT5 event with it, and I don't think the existing GT Sport upgrade system will do it much help. I upgraded my MX-5 during the review period and found it hilariously out-matched in N300: downgrading is much better than upgrading in the game than the other way around in terms of being competitive, since we can't do anything about tire width.

The one I really want to see is the 2014 award winning Maserati A6GCS Spyder.
