Cars with unusual traits

[jvale]

If you take the Lancer Evolution GSR '92 to the rally mode in the special events you'll see that both your driver and the co-driver are in the same seat. In cockpit view you can see trough the co-pilot head

The Shelby 427 Cobra(Premium) has a steering wheel that has an AC logo instead of the Shelby Snake like it should have.

 

[seanyb505]

The Merc 300SL has an incredibly low seat back. I can see the entire GT logo on the back of my driver.

If you paint a shelby gt350r the stripes are changed to same color but are ghost stripes when viewed at angles.
One of the standard zonda's has a paint glitch, when you paint it a portion of the rear wing is still the original color.
the bottom of the r34 and r35 skylines (flip them and look at in photomode) are model car bottoms (presumably from the desk of the artist who rendered them)

The 2005 GT has ghost stripes when painted too. I like 'em.

Also flip those GTR's again, you'll find a new message.

 

[shmogt]

Nice I always wanted to know what happened when you painted the 350. I have an extra one and wanted to paint it but wasn't sure about the stripes.

The Prius TC has paddle shifter and a CVT tranny

Ahah, great find

 

[Schudelfloss]

Acura Integra Type R '01 has red/deep orange front fog lights. They look awesome in night time.

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

What's unusual about that? It's a sports car, it's supposed to be powerful and fast.

the unusual thing is that it handles like a real sports car and not a Touring AMG car like the rest of them

 

[Beeblebrox237]

The Prius TC has paddle shifter and a CVT tranny

This is possible, because some CVT's have simulated gear ratios. But yes, a race car with a CVT is rather stupid.

The Prius comes with an EVT, which is a lot like a CVT except for one thing: electric motors. The EVT allows the Prius to use both its electric motors and gas-engine to drive the car, also doubling as a generator, all whilst offering the benefits of a CVT.


Hell, read more here as it'll explain better than I have

 

[DrKronin]

I don't think it has been mentioned that the GT by Citroen race car has a heads-up display. Sadly, I can see so little out of it's tiny windscreen that I never drive it in cockpit view.

 

[HuskyGT]

After I got new glasses, I can see everything in GT5 with more detail. So I found something today. Not unusual, but I found it to be very funny and interesting that the Mustang Mach 1 has a working odometer. Very random since in none other car that I've seen it seems to work. Just like the working computer thingy in the Gallardo that measures fuel economy.

 

[hawkeye122]

Ahah, great find

What does it say?

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but the '01 Castrol Supra and the Au Ceromo Supra's odometers only go up to 160 even though they're way faster. Not sure if that's the case with all the standard JGTC Supras.

 

[MasterFocus]

The GTR Prototype LM Race Car has a 7speed CVT tranny and when shifting, you dont loose any boost from the turbos. I think its one of the most brilliant tranny EVER!! 👍

 

[Watt2159]

Actually in NFS the run,the gtr is very slow,it is slower than a shelby mustang...

There's your problem.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

That's because nfs is a terrible game at giving cars traits they have in real life. I remember in nfs carbon the Camaro concept was faster than the Koenigsegg CCX.

In Shift2 the Caterham with a works conversion is faster than the Bugatti Veyron and the Pagani Huayra.

 

[NJ72]

I remember reading somewhere that (at least) e46 3 series with led lights had progressive lights as well.

the BMW 1 series (not the coupe version) also has progressive brake lights. When it was a concept it was given them (try using it in GT4 or GT4P) but because BMW removed that feature it was removed from GT5

 

[fifomaniak]

Just like the working computer thingy in the Gallardo that measures fuel economy.

Sorry, does this still work? I thought it was disabled in some of the patches.

 

[noisiaturismo]

The Lancer Evolution GSR has a failed interior.

 

[Nismo34]

'08 Dodge challenger keeps the 2 carbon fibre decals on the hood even with the carbon fibre (not body colour) hood.

 

[rb26x]

In Shift2 the Caterham with a works conversion is faster than the Bugatti Veyron and the Pagani Huayra.

My point exactly. lol

If you look back in the LFA's interior view they really winged it, blurry color blobs make up that section of the interior.

 

[notveryhappyjac]

the RX7's actually start up and have a properly working engine. Not even IRL do people have functioning RX7s, way to go on the realism PD

 

[rb26x]

They should have a check engine light that comes on every 10 miles and oil changes necessary every 50.

 

[jvale]

What does it say?

It says "Thanks for finding this "

 

[doctorrg]

Apparently, the GSX-R/4 comes with different color steering wheels, and if you paint the car, the steering wheel changes color.

 

[208SpeedGeek]

The premium Ford Focus is the only car that I can think of (or at least that I've noticed) that you can see the reflection of the top of the dashboard on the windshield. Kinda cool...
