Favorite fictitious car?

A few favourites:

Nissan GT-R Concept LM

Soldat Raggio

Red Bull X1

Assassin Super

Jansen P12 88 Special

Watson 25 V16 Revenge

Audi RSQ

K.I.T.T.

BMW Vision Gran Turismo

 

[CaravanSS76]

A thing I like and enjoy so much in the GT-R is its automatic-like shifting sounds. The 7-speed gearbox with these quick, auto-sounding shifts makes this car's gearbox GS/ARMAX code a must-have for fast hybrids in GT4
As contributions I like these fictitious cars:
Lightning McQueen (All Cars movies)

Francesco Bernoulli (Cars 2)

Ronin AW Hammer (rFactor)

Ok, real car but fictional livery, Audi TT LM Edition:

Soldat Crinale (Ridge Racer):

Obey Omnis (GTA V, who had stolen this car and has not tried to do a "Pikes Peak Hillclimb" then downhill? )

 

[TexRex]

Ugh.

 

[Liquid]

Custom Coupe (Burnout 2)

 

[CaravanSS76]

Looks like it was heavily based on FnF Eclipse

Custom Coupe (Burnout 2)

 

[dice1998]

Kamata Angelus (RRV version):

 

[Turbo]

Ugh.

TFW you don't even play Gran Turismo.

 

[TexRex]

TFW you don't even play Gran Turismo.

The implication being that familiarity with the source somehow makes it not seem sobloated? Or what?

I had the nagging suspicion it was from a game, and not knowing what game it was from suggests I have no personal experience with it, but it still looks like a Mazda6 that needs to cut back on the salt.

Gotta be the cars from the 2008 Speed Racer movie. Just look at them. Your inner child will want something like them.

It's great to see someone else who remembers that movie fondly. I was roughly eight years old when I played the videogame tie-in for about a thousand hours and went on to draw many a T-180, including this one, which I'm trying to get in GTA somehow.

 

[Gerarghini]

Literally a go-kart with an F1 engine.

 

[Tunerguy21]

Literally a go-kart with an F1 engine.

The proportions look really different between World Race and Acceleracers. Also, its cool and strange seeing this stuff come back after so long.

Right, decided to play Racing Lagoon not too long ago

Rear-Engined Rear-Wheel-Drive Toyota Mark II (JZX100) Coupe
Sure, we have the Supra, but we could have had this.
Above is without a bodykit, below is with a "GT" bodykit and a type C wing

I definitely find the above preferable, but it's a nifty idea either way.

Thought-provoking as well; how would that work? I know a big part of what makes those cars so appealing to so many is the 1JZ-GTE, and that back end doesn't really look long enough.

So...transverse with the engine behind the axles?

Longitudinal with one axle passing under the engine? Not likely with the "tuned" version being as low as it is.

A bit unconventional, but how about longitudinal in the with chain-drive swingarms?

Spoiler: If it helps

The way the game works is you can get parts off of other cars by winning races, ranging from Engine, Chassis and Body to misc. parts for those three, you can stick whatever in whatever. ...Mostly.

You first need to encounter a normal Mark II driving out on the road, and race it to win its body, engine can be whatever's decent at the point which also means it can range from an old Mini engine to '90s-Camaro V6 to even a bus engine
Then you need to find a Beetle, as that is the sole car with an RR chassis this early on in the game, and get its chassis or, if you're patient enough for later on in the game, a 964
But the Mark II body isn't compatible with the RR chassis by default even though a Starlet of all things is.
Fortunately, for such purposes, the game has a bodyshop on the map, where you can pay some money to make a body that is incompatible with a particular chassis type to become, well, compatible.
Which of course, means you take the Mark II body there to make it compatible with RR chassis types IE the Beetle and the 964

Alternatively it does the same thing as the 27l SD1 engine swap IRL and sticks the engine out further than it should be

Okay, so that indicates it would be longitudinal rear, and entirely behind the axles. I went ahead and Googled "rear engine 2JZ" (because they're probably more readily available around the world) and discovered some wackadoo swapped one into a DeLorean. Now the PRV gearbox in those cars is similar to that of the VW/Porsche, and the DMC12 may actually have less junk in the trunk than that Toyota, so presumably the JZ isn't nearly as long as I imagined. Those PRV V6s are also quite long.

I'm sure the game developers didn't put this much thought into the notion, particularly given what you said about the Starlet*, but it's fun to ponder on this sort of thing.

*

Edit: Holy crap on a cracker! So I've gleaned from the interwebs that a 2JZ (and presumably the 1JZ as well) is just 31 inches from the pulley faces to the rear flange. Those must be spectacularly thin cylinder walls because I had a Triumph CF from a TR6 sitting in the garage for a month and decided to measure it just to satisfy curiosity, and it came out at just over 30 for the same pulley-to-flange distance. I suppose with the extra meat between the siamesed pairs of cylinders in the CF block, combined with the added "business" on the front of the engine, the overall length can sneak up on you.

[TheNuvolari]

Most of the fictional cars in games look disgustingly simple, but I have to admit this looks fantastic. I think it's on paar with a Trans Am.

 

[ThePotatoKing]

Nostalgia hit me hard there

 

[Volksauto]

I have many favorites but this is one of them:
1953 Burnside Special From BeamNG.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

The Crew's Ford Mustang Touring Car, it looks like a modern day Trans Am racer.

 

[ThePotatoKing]

The Mazda RX8 LM race car. It would make a great Gr3 car for Mazda in GT Sport "cough" Atenza "cough".

And good God , the looks of that thing...

 

[JR98]

GTA's new Jester Classic looks amazing

 

[TexRex]

The movie was just awful--and not even entertaining because it was bad like so many camp classics that I love--but the Lexus "2054" that appeared briefly in Minority Report still pulls some strings for me.

 

[Snikle]

The Morpho Mobile from The Venture Bros.

Pretty obvious what it's supposed to be, but real ones can't fly

 

[CaravanSS76]

Looks a lot like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL...

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Bumping this up because I felt like sharing one of my favourites of Midnight Club II which I'm replaying through again; your starter car.

A weird, lumpy hybrid between a European and American Ford Escort, with parts from an RS Turbo and a GT shoehorned on as well as a Cossie rear wing. Pointless fun fact: the name Cocotte is a French word for a high-class prostitute - or an escort, in other words. Classic Rockstar humour.

 

[TheCracker]

Looks closest to the RS1700T then any other EU/US Escort.
