I'm glad GT's finally getting a road Escort as the series didn't get one until now. Throwback to Gran Turismo 2 almost getting one via the 1.8 GTI variant based on the demo versions.

I just dont find ev intresting so for me its hard to get excited for a Porsche mission x
I've got no interest in the Mission X (or the 992 Turbo/Turbo S; especially not this month when FH5 is running a "whoops, all 992s" theme) either, but I'm not so self-centered as to not recognise that other people do.

As I said, when Ferrari unveiled the F80 and McLaren unveiled the W1, a lot of the conversation was around what car Porsche would launch to make the next "hypercar holy trinity" (after the LaFerrari/P1/918 Spyder). The Mission X, revealed as Porsche's own 75th anniversary present to itself - therefore already a landmark car - previews that car, to be revealed in 2025. That makes it significant, and acting like it doesn't because you're not personally gripped by it is conceited.

If an update contained five cars I wanted, chances are that nobody else would be that interested in it. But then it's not about me. Or you.
 
That’s promising to be a pumped update that’s worth getting hyped for. The Escort? Nice… The 2 Porsches? Even better! The classic Merc?

With that said, the Merc’s most probably gonna be a 20M car. I can bear with that. So long as PD doesn’t change any of the existing methods to earn credits and their payouts. :sly:

Aaaaand on the topic of the Merc, I suspect there will be at least one more menu book featuring it added too, although I’m not so sure about the theme, seeing as there are 3 racing Mercs in different categories (Le Mans, GT/Sportscars and now Formula 1), as well as 3 Formula 1 cars in the game now. Not sure if licensing is gonna be an issue for the latter becoming a reality, though. Anyway, really hoping they give a zero-mileage racing car that belongs to the Legends Car Dealership as a gift for completing the forthcoming menu book. Not even a 6-star Car Ticket is sufficient for the credits involved, at least to me.

I never expect pd to add cars just for my liking, know very well they cant please everyone. Mission x might be big, but its an ev witch dosent sound exciting for an hypercar at all, but could be good for the feature if pd keeps addding more up to date hyper cars.

I am kind of looking forward to 992 turbo through, it being in horizon 5 does not take anything away for me as i no longer play it, and pd goes extra length for car detail, and will be drivable in vr.

Ain't that the case for a lot of the cars in the game, though?

Like what rivals does Suzuki Escudo have? 🤣 or how about the RA272...
Or that Honda 2&4 with the motorbike engine 😋😋😋

Honestly I LOOOOVE those oddball cars.
 
Escort, 992 Turbo and W196 are all winners to me.

I also speculate the W196 will be 20 million. If so, could we finally get those fabled endurance races promised after launch to help acquire the funds to buy it? Or is that wishful thinking?

A quick numbers race about the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196. If Tthe car is 20,000,000 Cr., you’d need 400,000,000 Cr. To replicate the twenty cars on a 1954 Formula One grid. If players can swing that in the next couple weeks while cars are on sale, the races that can be replicated that year are:

  • Grand Prix Belgium/Spa-Francorchamps(36 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Germany/Nurburgring(22 Laps)
  • Grand Prix Italy/Monza(80 Laps)

Happy collecting!
And people say micro transactions is a bad idea. :dopey:

I’m just kidding of course. Of course it’s a bad idea.
