Update from Johniwanna;
"If you are playing along in the December DLC Clue Thread, I can say I have seen a couple correct answers for one long-awaited and much-ballyhooed vehicle. Other than that, I seem to have you mostly stumped.
It gets harder and harder. Which would be the long-awaited vehicle? The Radical RXC? The Polaris Slingshot?
A lot of you are hung up on a couple cars that I think you want more in the game than make sense as an answer.
Ow,
sick burn.
Car 1
- It is of the past, does not exist in the present and speaks to the future
- Hint: This is not a back to the future reference but speaks to the car’s heritage, design, and existence.
I stand by my previous guess and say it
could be a TVR Griffith. Although it is much more likely to be one of those recent retro-looking concept cars from BMW and other manufacturers. Perhaps the
Maserati Alfieri? It draws from a long heritage of gorgeous Maserati GTs (with the A6GCS Pininfarina Berlinetta which is already in game being the main inspiration behind its lines and proportions), takes its name from the founder of the brand, and has served to introduce Maserati's new "family face" and will likely resemble the next GT, which will also be the first all-electric Maserati car ever. Problem is, the car is very much existant, although it is currently a one-off.
Car 2
- The Tifosi thought it was a ripoff.
- Hint: This is not a Fiero or MR2. The clue is more related to actual offense the car’s name evoked.
Again, I feel the solution to this riddle may be called
Ferrari Mondial.
Car 3
- Being trendy can also be exciting.
- Hint: There is a trend among high-end manufacturers, and it’s not an all-together bad thing.
Hm. Could this be the
Bentley Bentayga, then? A lot of high-end manufacturers are moving, or have moved, in the luxury SUV market with cars which would be astonishing if they didn't look like pimped-up vans.
Car 4
- If it looks like a race car and drives like a race car but, does that make it a race car?
- Hint: Not the result of homologation.
Yeah, that's the
Radical RXC Turbo alright.
Car 5
- Something is missing.
- Hint: ‘nuff said!
That "'nuff said" would lead me to believe that the overwhelming majority saying that it could be the wheel-deficient
Polaris Slingshot is right.
Car 6
- Representing a period of absolute dominance.
- Hint: You don’t have to be a diva to drive this car, but it doesn’t hurt.
Hm, the hint suggests this is an affordable car popular with celebrities and racers alike. I can't really think of a car that fits the bill. Oh, well, I guess I'll know tomorrow?
Car 7
- It was both the beginning and the end for this model.
- Hint: You have seen this car in Forza games before, but not for some time.
Okay,
this could be the
DMC-12.
