Viper GTS-R Concept gets my vote.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Some of these made it to GT3/GT4 so, I know just the car, and my lovely guilty pleasure.

Going for the Pod. I might be the most hipster of all this time around.

 

[JC_Dude]

I really like the VW Nardo.

 

[Adamgp]

GT40.

Always liked it back in the GT4 days.

 

[CyborgGT]

Tough poll. The Ford GT won for being one of my top dream cars, but in a realistic light I would so love to own a Solstice coupe.

 

[TS050]

W12 Nardo.



Please VW make this

 

[7up747]

Suzuki GSX-R/4 Concept. Looks wild.

 

[LM7325]

Nardo for me, it is one car that really should have been put into production. It is everything the Veyron should have been.

Has to be the Toyota Pod, because it was most representative of the sort of craziness GT Concept made space for. I'd forgotten how fun that game was.

Mitsubishi CZ-3 Tarmac gets a special mention though for being absolutely mighty around the track.

 

[Sp3edst3r]

I choose the pod. People who have played Concept 2002 and raced the pods in the pod race on that really small track will understand the amount of fun you could have with them. Be it the lights that changed colour, the noises it made when you rammed another car or that really cute little tail thingy that wagged endlessly, that car was the most adorable concept car i have ever seen and would love to see one in future gran turismos x3

Therefore the pod gets my vote.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Cien. I loved that thing.

 

[Robin]

Man this game was my most loved GT game. The concepts were awesome and were real manufacturer ones before the silly made up VGT ones came along. I would kill for another Gran Tusimo Concept game.

My favouite is the Caddliac Cien, one of the best concepts they ever made (along with the Ciel). The Toyota RSC in WRC livery gets a special mention.

 

[Mike458]

Viper. Absolutely no other car compares (aside from the Ford... the Caddy... and maybe the VW) to it in this poll.

 

[All Your Base]

Went with Dualnote because it looks pretty, it was revolutionary (it opened the doors for hybrid sportscars and supercars), it handled beautifully around the track (in Gran Turismo, at least), and it felt like a true successor to the NSX.

 

[MisterWaffles]

The W12 would still be fresh even if they released it unchanged in ten years. I'm still waiting.

 

[homeforsummer]

Surprised by the love for the Nardo. Aside from the concept, which is basically a Veyron, it's an incredibly bland bit of styling from most angles and really quite ungainly from the back.

The world most definitely does not need the supercar equivalent of a Golf.

 

[MoLiEG]

Ughhh... hard choice...

Had to go to with the Viper.

 

[Tyger]

Missed this, was this another short poll? Anyway would have been a little torn, love the Cien for the looks and the fact there is at least one fully working model owned by GM, the Viper is still my favourite body shape for that car, the GT is awesome but changed very little once in production so loses that sense of uniqueness. The Nardo I think is a beautiful car and another definite runner. The only silly argument I have against it is that it's badged a VW which has never really been synonymous with speed and power. So I think ultimately I would have gone with the GTR, as I always loved the chiselled, simple angles and lines of this concept, such efficiency of design, but sadly it became a bit of a shapeless lump when it reached production. Still one of my fave cars in the GT series.
