My reasoning that this isn't a 918 is the ridge that's on the top left corner that looks like a wing of sorts... that doesn't really match up918 Spyder seems most likely. Exhaust looks too far up the car to be a 600LT

I wanted to say that it was a 2017 Ford GT but that has central exhausts and this car appears to have them offset
I don't know, might be a 918 at an odd angle and I can't see it properly lol

The only other notable car to have top mounted oval exhausts that could potentially match the picture is the 600LT.

Another open world racing game that is setting itself up for failure.
Forza Horizon has nothing more than destroyed the open world racing genre and the competition does not even come close.
Perfect time to revive a Test Drive more akin to Test Drive 5 or 6 mixed in with Test Drive 2 the duel rather than making another open world racing game just to take on Horizon.

The only game that even tried to compete with Horizon was The Crew. The rest stayed in their own respective lanes.
The Crew was mediocre at best, good idea but the physics were a big downfall of the game, and the map felt uninspiring and empty at times.
TDU would be the closest thing to the current FH, except you have less car customization in exchange of car speccing, property buying, and a less inclusive tuner/low-end car list along with a massive map
I'd say the game has a great shot, if it's going to drive/look anything like WRC

Errr, I wouldn't say exactly like Horizon, I would prefer if the physics were a bit better.

I wish new TDU will be less childish than Horizon series. Less screaming, less jumping with cars, less that stupid festival thing, less driving through forests and stuff.
And more features similar we saw in TDU 1 and 2. Huge map, dealerships, houses with garages, new car oem options, overall TDU luxury vibe
Of course it needs good graphics and handling. Then it's perfect.

I actually think WRC 8 has some good physics... but at the same time I wouldn't like it to be as realistic. A bit toned down, but still gives the same feel of weightIn that ballpark, but you know what I mean, not WRC8

Since Forza Horizon has been dominating this sector, pretty much every other arcade racing game is making use of an environment with a festival backdrop - I think it would be more beneficial for Test Drive Solar Crown to stick to its roots and utilize a classier vibe for something different.

Yawn...
Not to make a run on post, but I'm NOT holding my breath for this game. It will just be another racer that tries to compete against the Horizon series and ends up screwing up something.
I'm staying out of the hype.

Well this is interesting... If you go to the corporate page of Nacon's website, you have a roadmap for upcoming racing games. One of them is Next-gen exclusive, the other is able to run on Switch.
The leaks have not suggested a Switch release, so perhaps Solar Crown is the next-gen title.

Forza Horizon has indeed destroyed the genre, and for what little has been done with that distinction in the years since, I resent Playground Games for it.
I want alternatives back. Least of all because I'm not on Windows 10 or Xbox One. Something with a map and roads more like The Crew than Forza Horizon. Something with handling more like, well, WRC8 for a good example -- I don't think I could stomach modern Forza Horizon handling for long even if I was gifted an Xbox.
Something else. Competition. Forza Horizon needs it, and if PG/T10 responds in kind, everyone wins.

@RandomCarGuy17 -- WRC8's handling physics are solid, but hazards can be quite unforgiving.

Ah, maybe the developers can dial it down a bit for TDU.@RandomCarGuy17 -- WRC8's handling physics are solid, but hazards can be quite unforgiving.

Personally I dont think its hard, its just wonky and horribly inconsistent regarding countersteering and object detection.

Hitchhiker missions and car deliveries were some nice missions.
Seriously TDU1's car delivery missions made the game so enjoyable. Driving long distances without mistakes along with a big payout made it so enjoyable and rewarding

I feel like the only possible game that could rival FH is if Polyphony made an open world racer, or at least outsources it. GT and Forza are like no other, and using their physics engine and model fidelity in an open world is super OP for the genre. Simply unbeatable.
TDU3’s only hope is to be unique as hell, because making an average map with super nice car models only will not cut it.

I'm not sure about the origins of these pictures but i have the article attached, the original was on Reddit I believe but it might have been taken down

There was also an old leak, I'm not sure how relevant it is now
