August update Predictions

[Artremis]

Hope the 2 mil from the Time Trial is enough for the MP4/4! Despite its presence in the datamines I didn't expect it to actually arrive (assuming it's actually it). New track would make this the best update yet

 

[RaY29rus]

Another update with a bunch of cool cars I have no real interest in :c
But that's three more cars from datamined list

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Time to grind for a few GTOs. I was silently hoping for that. One of the best updates so far. Oh… and the Honda is fine too.
Edit: Funnily enough, Hagerty have a piece on the Monaro/GTO.

How GM revived the GTO with muscle from Down Under - Hagerty Media

Before it all came crashing down at Pontiac, GM's once-great performance arm brought a burly V-8 coupe, the GTO, from its division down under.

Mecum's got a phat GTO Judge convertible as the staple car at the Monterey auctions. Curious as to see how much that thing's gonna go for.

Cayman Gt4 will probably be the most driveable porsche there is.

No R8 V10 Plus, as in Brasilien teaser

It was never a teaser mate.

Yeah, I was looking up the ‘69 car and that was the link I got. Hagerty trying to redirect me.
12 years ago, one sold for $620,000.

Are there any differences between this GT4 Cayman and the one we have as Gr.4 besides some "racing-neccessary" mods on a Gr.4 one?

I don't know, is there any difference between the GT3 Jaguar F-Type and the road one, or the 650S McLaren and its GT4 variant?

It's literally a road car instead of a racing car. It's quite different.

Other than being gutted interior-wise, it probably has a higher topspeed, heavier weight-wise, and has a ✨ Horn✨

Guess the Dior "Mangusta" will just be a purchasable livery, and I also missed on the Brand Central car.

Not need for sarcasm in this case, considering GT4 Clubsport without a livery would look almost identical to a regular GT4. There are definitely less differences between the two than F-Type and its Gr. 3 version, even less than 650S and its GT4 variant. Regular GT4 is already somewhat of a track day car, so I wouldn't expect Gr. 4 version to be that much different.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Hopefully, GT4 will get some cool customization options.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Did a bit of research and the closest thing I can find to a MP4/4 valuation is the somewhat recent sale of a 1993 MP4/8, which went for $6.5m USD at auction. I would definitely expect the MP4/4 to be in the 5-10m range, maybe closer to 10 since it's a more significant car.

 

[05XR8]

The 718 will definitely replace my GT4 Caymans. Much needed model update.

It's a 2016 981, just the roadgoing equivalent of the current Gr4.

I hope one of those customization options is a "normie" mod that turns it into a stock 981

Aww man.

 

[juanffy18]

Wow the F090s

 

[Samus]

Let's hope they're also finally updating the open wheel collision physics so they actually behave like open wheel cars and not just like any other car.

 

[Aksu593]

No R8 V10 Plus, as in Brasilien teaser

Probably because it was obviously just a regional ad made by Brazilian Sony for only their market and that they obviously just rented some random cars they thought looked cool for the ad, I mean come on, do you really think the staff at Polyphony thought "Hey, let's tease some new update content for our game, but only for Brazilian people!"

GTOooooOOOOOoooooOOOO!!!!!

 

[RACECAR]

Funny enough, you'll never guess what arrived in my groceries earlier today. I have saved you the dissapointment.

@ZEE See? I told you

So much for the paranoia about the Dior Mangusta being one of the three cars. I tend to not expect much from PD and certainly expect them to make "interesting" decisions (A consistent theme you can't go one game without seeing), but boy I don't I've ever dug as deep for that low an expectation as many seemed to after that announcement.

I'll be honest, I was sorta anticipating what sorta car they think a Mangusta Silhouette would be.

I disagree. I'd rather expect the worst and be positively surprised than the opposite. It's been a great approach to take seeing many of PDs decisions over the years.

Always expect the worst/least/nothing with PD. Anything else leads to disappointment.

 

[Nielsen]

Aww man.

The 981 GT4 is an excellent car though.

 

[Talon16]

So what's the MP4/4 going to be competing against? Only itself like the current formula cars?

Of course, even if the game had any other licensed F1 cars they couldn't race against it, because that would constitute an F1 race, which they don't have the license for.

 

[MrHorsepower]

Probably yes... or detuned at Sardegna 800...
In Project CARS there were races for the classic Lotus F1 cars included (called Formula A, if I recall correctly) with a grid full of the same model with fake liveries...

Talking about the update, I'd love to get two formula-themed menus or championships, one for the F1500TA and another for the Super Formula already in the game.
If only PD create a Japanese Gr2 menu or championship...

The 981 GT4 is an excellent car though.

That’s fine. Figured with the silhouette we’d finally get the latest GT4 racer. Would match the GT4 livery Supra, as far as up to to date cars. I have a host of R8s, AMG GTs, Alpines, and a ZL1 in my GT4 European Series Custom Races. The Gr.4 Vantage is so old and Cayman, for me, needs to be updated. I’ll still buy the 981 though.
