Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo REVEALED!

[Aussie_HSV]

@JASON_ROCKS1998 and @RACECAR

Cheers guys.
Either I need to pay more attention or I need to spend more credits on tuning more cars.
(Or probably both.)

Either way it seems I'm way off base on the tyre logo call.

I wonder if this will be released this week.

I wonder if this will be released this week.

Doubt it, it'll most likely be with the December update.

Hopefully it isn't too far in December though, as I'm really excited to try the 2X!

I'm going to Switzerland this December & Christmas to visit @AquaFanta !

I think they've got something for GT6's 1 year anniversary.

I think they've got something for GT6's 1 year anniversary.

I hope so... namely B-Spec, endurance, and AI refinements. But that's just me lol.

They should, since it's almost been a year.

 

[FoRiZon]

So no steering and single gear (like most of the top speed rocket car).

 

[Zlork]

I think we will have the next update to mid-December, before Christmas.

You have the right to dream

Personally, I don't think endurance races because Kaz has never talked about it. I hope to see in the next update, at least one of the two remaining features promised : B-SPEC, course maker.

Many here speak endurance races because of the B-SPEC mode, but these are just suppositions.

Probably false as SPEC 2.0 happens after 1.13. We saw that it gave: 1.14.

 

[MatskiMonk]

They'll probably give us "B-Spec Course maker"... for making courses that can only be used in B-spec


Joking of course.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

I would say "I wonder how it will sound?" But someone will just quote me with a picture of a Hoover.

 

[CinnamonOD]

Somebody who tried it in LA said that it does a clicking sound...

I think the sound he refered is this one

2:10 mark

Many people have mentioned this, both in and outside this forum. I read a magazine article (can't quite remember from whom), where the author also mentioned a ticking noise when he was going up the rev range. The trailer noise seems to fit the description, and the odds of that being the "official" noise are quite high. As I said before, PD can't really have acess to a laser engine noise since there aren't many cars in the world like this one... (if any)

there is a very obvious noise based on the videos about laser ufo satellite thingys.
this might be very easy to replicate because its just a pulse that happens for a fixed period with adjustable intervals, then add on movement speed and other environmental stuff same as other engines.

basically i expect to hear a rapid pop sound of the air being exploded at temps higher than the sun, or something like that

 

[RACECAR]

Interesting debate on the sound, wonder if the new method can manage to duplicate such a unique effect.

I can confirm it does have a clicking noise. It kinda sounds like that

 

[Niku Driver HC]

One has to wonder whether the laser powerplant of the 2X was created with that in mind. I do know this is first GM's project before being PD's, but perhaps PD is taking the "Vision" part of the VGT project more seriously that we think. The Subaru Viziv was the first stone of the new sound method, the 2X may very well be the testing subject for other sound types (i.e. non-fuel engines)...

 

[silverman_GT]

I thought there would be very little to see as well.
But the video show this.

Am I the only one who noticed that the date shows Saturday, June 14, 2025? (near the clock under the track map)

Well, why not.

At least we know when it's coming to GT6

"Future Update" release date finally revealed, everyone!

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Am I the only one who noticed that the date shows Saturday, June 14, 2025? (near the clock under the track map)

I get it, that's the date of start for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race! (The 2014 race, for example, started on the 14th) Chaparral 2X confirmed for the Garage 56 entry for the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans!

And that would be another nice side reference to the past of Chaparral and Chevy... 👍

Now you can really plan early

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Now you can really plan early

Hell yeah, I'm going to book the trip now, just in case. Definitely going to mark this date on my calendar.

Really late edit : I also figured something else out. 2025 is the year chosen by the L.A. Auto Show organizers, for the design contest held every year. You know, the same one where that Chaparral Volt I showed a few pages ago first appeared? Man, the references just keep on coming with this car...

@Jordan

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well, GM really wants to showcase their car, don't they? Good for the fans who couldn't attend the L.A. Auto Show. 👍 Too bad I don't live in 'Murica...

 

[MatskiMonk]

Not a fan of this "car" at all, but I still wish they'd hurry up and release it already!

You know PD; they like to take their time teasing us (or just taking their time, really) with things. Unfortunately, Sony doesn't really let PD announce much outside these things...

 

[AKps3]

I hope they will show more then just the Chaparral 2X
maybe GT6 spec 2.0?
or GT7?

I'm sure 99.99% that GT7 will not be present at PSEx.
