In an article in Evo (UK based performance motoring mag) Kazunori said something to the effect of GT5 continuing to develop and grow post release, he may have even said evolve.....

Found it:

[snip] As Yamauchi said in Madrid, with a glint in his fatigued, scratchy eyes, 'GT will continue to develop and evolve. We have many updates planned. It has become a living creature that will grow and grow.'[snip]

I would like to think that with his involvement with a number of high profile car manufacturers Kazunori san and the manufacturers could see the value in releasing new concepts and even perhaps new production cars 'launched' in GT5 in a similar schedule to their release into the public.

The young and trendy, with their high disposable income and often sheep like buying habits (and influence to be balanced) are an attractive market segment for the car companies and the GT series has reached a certain level of maturity now. Exposure is almost always a good thing.

Here's hoping.
 
the front is aiming to be that low, toyota teamed up with subaru opting for a low mounted boxer engine to reduce body roll :)

~~ this is FACT just so everyone knows....

Port fuel injected and direct injection on the engine that is going in both the Subaru and Toyota!
 
I hope the real one doesn't look like that, this is the only new car in the past 10 years I was considering buying. I don't like what they did with the front and the LEDs on the bumper and chrome trim around the windows. I like the original concept the best. Hopefully they won't be replacing the styling and the II is a different model, like a trueno to a levin.
I agree. They ruined a great looking car... and sadly, if the car is ever made, it will probably look closer to the II instead of the original. It seems to look more production-like than the original concept. Why do car companies always show a really awesome concept car and then on the rare occasion they announce that it will be made, it's always some watered-down less sexy version of what they teased us with?
 
How did they ruin a great looking car if they are both concepts? The original concept was pretty bland. This one is more extreme. Expect the production car to be a mixture of both. There won't be the extreme styling on it like this Concept II, but it won't be as plain as Conept I.
 
This one is more extreme.
If by extreme you mean more lumpy and less smooth flowing lines. And I doubt they will use any of the good styling elements (if any) from the first one, because as I said; it's too concept-ish. Like the hoodline over the fender with the zig-zag in it... that would never make a production car. And unfortunately the taillights on the second one are far more realistic for mass production, which is a shame because I really loved the back end of the first concept.
 
I'm glad the styling has become more aggressive. Much more like a sports car now. 👍
 
According to Subaru, it'll be the lowest placed engine in production cars, save for cars like the LFA and some Ferrari's. Non turbo and around 200+hp.
 
can anyone tell me the name of the song please lol i cant remember it. but yes in my opinion the car looks sexy. from the video it seems to hint that the car might have some rally potential. maybe it has all wheel drive but who knows
