Duplicates you actually want to see in GT7

These Suzuki Jimny Time Attack Cars Look So Happy To Go Racing

Tsukuba is home to all kinds of wacky race cars, and while these may not be the most extreme, they're some of the most enjoyable to watch.

I'd keep goin but you don't even know the name of the cars. much less what people do with them.

I'm not sure I would call that racing pedigree. Thats people taking their Jimny's out on the track on what looks to be a track day. No competition other than the clock.

The M5 at least has some history in competitive wheel to wheel racing:

An Original 1985 BMW M5 Touring Car – 460 BHP at 8,400 RPM

This is the 460 bhp BMW M5 touring car that was built for French racing driver Marc Sourd for the 1985 Championnat de France Production, the nation's

I wouldn’t mind cars in left and right hand steer option if applicable. That would count as a duplicate?

We have the '97 champion, the '99 champion and the '00 champion, so why not the '01 champion?

Considering the reception to Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 '18 at that car's launch, updated race cars (especially in Gr.3) are bound to get the similar reception if the cars are just evolution updates (or a fictional-to-real switch, eg. NSX Gr.3 to NSX GT3 Evo22). (I wonder if the AMG GT3 Evo '20 did hit with the same reception? Granted it was during the same update as the SF23, which was that update's spotlight. Ironically, the SF19 and SF23 also has an issue with duplication due to the different powertrain variations.)

In general, I will let the following "dupes" slide:
Acura Integra Type R (DC2) '01 (preferably if with Acura ARX-06)
Honda NSX Type S Zero '97
Honda S2000 '06
Mazda RX-7 Type R '91
Mazda RX-8 Type S '07
Nissan GT-R '07
Toyota Supra GT500 '00/'01
Toyota Supra GT500 '05 (if in Gr.2 in conjunction with 2006 Z GT500 and 2011 HSV-010)
Porsche 911 Turbo (993) '95
Subaru Impreza (GD "Bugeye" and "Hawkeye")
Subaru Impreza WRX STi Ver.III '96

• Coupe and Sedan versions of M3/M4
• Mercedes SL500 and SL65 AMG
• Golf R and GTI variants from MK6 on...
• MK4 and MK5 Golf GTI and R32

I've not looked at the GT7 car list recently, but most of these don't look like they're variants of cars that are on it - per the examples in the first post...

Not sure if I had also mentioned this, and I'm not 100% sure if it even counts, but I think we could use the road-going versions of various race cars. Most notably the following:

Alfa Romeo 155 2.5
Alfa Romeo TZ
Audi RS5 '19
Audi Quattro
BMW Z4 (E89)
BMW M6 (F13)
Lexus SC430
Mercedes-Benz CLK-LM Road Car
Peugeot 205 T16
Volkswagen Beetle (A5)

Then you could say something similar for the inverse:

Alpine A110 GT4 (Gr.4)
Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH (Gr.1)
Audi R8 LMS Ultra '12 (Gr.3)
BMW M4 DTM (Gr.2)
BMW M3 GTR Race Car '01 (Gr.3)
Chevrolet Corvette C8 GT3.R (Gr.3)
Ford Escort RS Cosworth Rally Car (Gr.B)
Honda Civic Type R-GT GT500 '24 (Gr.2)
Lamborghini Diablo GT-1 '00 (Gr.3)
Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione Rally Car (Gr.B)
Lexus LC500h GT300 (Gr.3)
Lexus LFA N24 '12 (Gr.4)
Maserati MC20 GT2 (Gr.3)
Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evo II Race Car (Gr.4)
Nissan Z GT500 '24 (Gr.2)
Porsche 911 (992) GT3 R (Gr.3)
Porsche 911 GT1 '97 (Gr.2)
Porsche 959 Rally Car (Gr.B)
Renault 5 Maxi Turbo (Gr.B)
Subaru Impreza WRX STI GT300 '08 (Gr.4)
Toyota Prius GT300 (Gr.4)
Toyota GR Supra '24 (Gr.2)

-'94 Mazda Miata M-Edition [US] (so I can drive my exact car)
-'92 Nissan 240SX Coupe [US] (the "Onevia" with the KA24DE, so I can drive my exact second car)
-Any pre-facelift PS13 180SX, 200SX, or 240SX.
-'93 Toyota MR2 Turbo [any] (to have the best example of the pre-facelift model present)
-Any A70 Supra besides the GT-A. Maybe a 1JZ model?
-A pre-facelift FD RX-7.
-RWD Skylines (R32,R33, and R34)
-A Hi-Ace in the touring trim with the Conversion Van-esque features.

Off the top of my head, that'll do.

Here we are, a topic I've been thinking about for a while given Polyphony’s latest choices in cars for updates and recent backlash. With that in mind, I'd like to ask you guys a simple question: are there duplicates of some kind you genuinely want to see in the game?

Before answering this question, I've divided the concept of duplicates into a few levels for better understanding:

1 - The straight up duplicate: cars will absolutely no difference between each other apart from some very minor aesthetic and mechanical factors.

Examples:
Integra Type R ‘95 and Integra Type R ‘98
Clio R.S. Trophy ‘15 and Clio R.S. Trophy ‘16
GR Supra ‘19 and GR Supra ‘20

2 - The slightly different version duplicate: cars within the same generation in slightly different versions.

Examples:
M3 ‘89 and M3 Sport Evolution ‘89
R32 NISMO ‘90 and R32 V-spec II ‘94
Roadster ND ‘15 and Roadster ND NR-A ‘22

3 - The considerably different version duplicate: cars still within the same generation, but this time with a more “justifiable” difference between each other.

Examples:
S13 Silvia Q’s ‘88 and S13 Silvia K’s ‘90
S14 Silvia K’s ‘94 and S14 Silvia K’s Aero ‘96
22B Impreza ‘98 and Impreza WRX STi ‘99

4 - The facelifted duplicate: this is controversial, a technically different car but with huge similarities between each other.

Examples:
Lancer Evo VIII ‘04 and Lancer Evo IX ‘06
GTR ‘17 and GT-R T-spec ‘24

5 - The different purpose duplicate: an even more controversial one, these are cars from the same model and generation, but for absolutely different purposes.

Examples:
Jimny ‘18 and Jimny Sierra ‘18
Hiace ‘16 and HiMedic ‘21

--

With that said, here are three of some duplicate cars I would actually like to see still in GT7:

Honda NSX Type S Zero ‘97 - The best NSX ever made in my opinion. So much better than the NSX-R ‘92 present in the game.

Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo ‘96 - The first facelift of the GTO is by far my favorite one, plus it has the nostalgia factor from the very first GT.

View attachment 1420374

Renault Sport Clio V6 Phase 2 ‘03 - The facelifted Clio V6 never gets enough love and it's absolutely stunning, it's as simple as that.

Now you can post. 😁

Honestly, if I could "Race Mod" the cars that are built up from street cars I would be happy-er..

Was a time long, long ago that was a thing. Gave them category and everything. Ah, the old days. When we could read the sponsor, but we know it had one as it had multiple colors. None of which we could change!

I was there. You can read all about it now...

Back when they could render a car in about an hour. lol

How could I forget this one! The very last iteration of the classic Mini holds a special place in my heart thanks to GT2. I knew it was going to be my favorite Mini of all time when I first saw it in the game 20+ years ago.
