Wedsports Lexus thingy has a camera for a rear view morrow ans has yellow flasing lights.

High end performance G27 has a ps3 in it.

TVR Tamoras Speed dial goes all the way round.

AEM S2000 has a NOS bottle (this doesnt mean you can use the NOS however).

GTR R35 is stupidly fast for its lack of power and massive weight (Shut up GTR haters before you comment).

Isuzu 400R (i think thats what it is) has what looks like a Fax Machine in the console.

Mitsubishi HSR II looks weird as hell.

Dome Zero Concept looks like something from Star Wars when the lights are up.

The GoKarts brake piston moves as do the drivers feet.

The Blitz D1 car (Cant remember the name but its the standard car anyway) has neons where the intercooler is and under the side skirts (Yay for ricers).

Carbon R, HKS CT230R, Toyota 7 dont have headlights.

Infiniti Coupe Concept doesnt have any wing morrors.

This is all i've noticed in the game 👍
 
I noticed my Stealth SLS licence plate bulb illuminates when flashing the headlights. Also the clock counts up to 99 minutes before changing.
My MG TF160 driver pretends to shift gears.
The '10 WRX rear fog light comes on during rain. So does the Legacy and Mercedes SL convertibles when lights are on. The premium SL55 rear foglight only comes on during rain

When the headlights are on for the Premium Lotus V8, the low beams are the outer lights. When switching to high beam the outers go out and the inners illuminate. While the high beams are on, the city lights in the outer headlamps stay illuminated. Keep the high beams on, you can watch the city lights go out while pressing the flash headlight button.

The digital and analog clock work in the Maserati
 
Don't know if this was said yet but most of the primium cars reverse lights flash while flashing the headlights.
 
This is more of a general fault. But if you stall a car with a turbo it still makes boost when its off . And then if you accelerate it makes more boost.

An Autobox Mercedes in which you can manually change gears without A-spec Andy/B-spec Bob actually shifting said Autobox Mercedes.
 
Don't know if anyone has noticed this before or not. The premium C5 Corvette when the dim lights are on. I forget which side it is, but one of the headlights has a discoloration issue
 
True. My Devil Z always does that.

Kelvari. It just looks like another variant of the 300SL, Most likely the limited edition SLR version (Unsure of my statement. I thought it was a hack first time I saw it online :lol:

Also every single car with active aero: LFA, Veyron, HSR II concept, Enzo, Whatever does that.

Audi TT 3.2 and TTS (I think?) as well.
 
It is not actually about an unusual cars, but when you go for Time Trial on Nurburgring 24 hr in Arcade mode, your 2nd and every next lap time will be shown in red after crossing the start/finish line, even if dat lap was faster then previous one.

Red means the lap was illegal. It doesn't have anything to do with whether it is faster or slower than your best. Clean laps that are not your best lap should be white, and a personal best lap will be blue(in the list). I don't recall there being such a problem with this track but that doesn't mean that there isn't one.

If the timer in the middle of the HUD is not red, but the lap time comes up red when you finish, then there's something wrong. If the lap timer in the center is red before you finish the lap, then you've cut too much of a corner or hit a wall too hard or stopped for too long and the lap has been invalidated. If that happens in the last couple of corners it will take away your next lap as well to prevent you from potentially starting the lap faster than you should be able to legally.

There is a rumor that never quite seems to go away that you can get multiple future laps disqualified, but to the best of my knowledge this doesn't ever really happen. Even if it tells you your next lap is invalidated 10 times in a row, it's still only the next lap that won't count.
 
Not a car, but has anyone noticed that Polyphony included the little random rumble strip at the Esses chicane? It's there in real life too

Dear Sir, I know what invalid lap time is pretty well.
My time is white during all the lap, no penalty/cutting/invalidation, just clear lap, but as soon as I cross the finish line (not backwards) the time becomes red in the central timer showing +x:xx.xx even if it was faster.

Ford Taurus SHO '98 is improperly ported into GT5. Not only are the headlight beams slightly too high, but they forgot to remove the "silhouette driver" in the cockpit (the blacked-out driver in cars in GT4 if you look really closely inside the car). So basically it looks like your guy is getting eaten by another driver.

All right, this was my mistake. I thought you were talking about the times displayed on the side as a record of your recent laps. That's why I thought you may have been confused when you mentioned them being red "even if that lap is faster."

I ran a few clean laps tonight in Arcade time trial on the "basic" 24-hour course without time-and-weather and I did see the same thing. They were recorded correctly to the list, but in the center of the screen the difference from my best was red and listed as being slower even though I was faster each time.

Very interesting.
 
The Castrol Supra in GT1 has 7 speed gearbox, but no in the following GTs.

The Mazda RX-7 Bathrust comes with adjustable suspension in GT4, but not in GT5.
 
For me it is the Tank Car. The thing is monstrous! What makes it even more unusual is that it is street legal, must be a pain to park.

It is also not too shabby at drifting, very surprising.

Yeah, it is actually one of my favorite cars to drift. I drift the Cape Ring a lot with it. I drift the loop at that track at about 70-80 degrees all the way up and down.
 
A '97 Camaro Z28 fully tuned with a Semi-racing Exhaust, at just above 6000 RPM, makes an awful screechy whistling noise.
On closer inspection, it seems to be coming from the gearbox...

You have to remember, the car in GT1 was the one that raced at Le Mans in 1996, the version in GT5 is the car that raced in JGTC in 1997.
 
I recently buy the Holden Commodore SS, and I notice that it does not have horn, and I can't install some of wich i have already.
