Hm, looks like you guys is right, it migh be this car:

I don't remember how much this car costs in GT 6 and I wonder if it will be a Gr. X car?

It's not a death trap as your latest post mentions. If you actually see some of the flaws in that test and read up on it, you'd possibly see the flaws in your comparison.

This is really not a hill you should choose to die on; trying to argue that 50 year old vehicle safety technology is somehow comparable to modern vehicle safety technology. There is simply no comparison, no matter what metric or test method one chooses. That doesn't mean the older car safety wasn't good for its time, but they would be considered deathtraps versus modern vehicle safety technology.

I read that people assumed that the 1959 Chevrolet didn't have an engine which led to the extreme deformation of the car. But this is the car that the IIHS bought before it was wrecked:

It was a daily driver condition car. Little rust, and had an engine present (Inline 6) for $10,000.
The lack of no crumple zone and the GM X-Frame lead to the bad damage.
The cars both were travelling at 40MPH so the test was fair.

First off, perhaps you should analyze what you read a bit better first before claiming like you've done. No where do I say that I'm trying to compare the tech of a 50 year old car to that of a near modern car. I probably am more aware of mechanical structures in motion due to my background than you realize. What I'm saying is that the test was skewed questioned quite a bit, and the explanations given were never conclusive.

If you think a car with 51 years on it, rust through its structure and at least 74k miles on it, since the odometer was supposedly broken against a new car is comparable from a testing stand point... Then continue to be ignorant. Clearly safety has evolved but that doesn't mean the test was still improper to a degree.

IIHS claimed this, experts who studied it at the time claimed it wasn't that clear and cut.

Also they didn't claim little rust, they claimed it only had surface rust and that was what they were looking for anyways.

In the Gt sport intro video you can see the mercedes F1 car

Not the car that everyone thinks and to be fair to them, they're most likely right, that is not the car. The high nose regs ended in 2013 and the car you pointed out is a W04 which is from 2013. That image is just the storage boxes at the Merc Museum, you also notice the Penske Indy 500 winner with the Merc Illmor in it, and the 98 championship winning McLaren as well as the 96 McLaren as well. So just because again we see a structure or background in the game doesn't hint at game play.

PD did the Goodwood statues in GT6 and none of the cars on that ended up in that game....
 
With the upcoming kei cars, I'm starting to think that the french track will be a small one to suit those cars (or the other way arround...they created a small track and they decided to bring kei cars to suit it..
 
Just the last piece of evidence I could find, but the Ford GT in the teaser has a very prominent chrome/metallic stripe going down the hood. The Ford GT LM also has the same chrome/metallic stripe separating the matte paint.

All othe Ford GTs have solid stripes if I’m not mistaken.

It’s also got a wing, it’s got a windshield banner, it’s got the shiny disk brakes, it’s got the same shape as the 06 GT. I think the debate’s over.

My prediction even though it’s pretty obvious, 450,000cr in Gr.3

I'm 99% certain it's that car, I said earlier (humble brag) the silhouette matched the matte finish, it even shows up the more glossy stripes down the centre.

The Mazda will be our fourth Group C car, would that be enough to justify creating a new Gr.C category and moving the other 3 out of Gr.1?

Yeah it looks narrow, at least for an original track, but it will be the longest of the GT Sport original tracks, mark my words :D

Think I'm able to go definitive on this one:

- Teams are permitted to licence their current car to ONE game outside the main FOM licence.

- Current can be defined as a car raced in the previous 12 months, i.e. the last season and the current season.

- Non FOM licensed games may contain ONE contemporary car.

- UGC permissions around that car are entirely up to the team.



My understanding is that:

- The lack of the F1 Ferraris in GT6 was related to Ferrari's relationship with Kunos.

- The restriction with the F1 Ferraris re where and how they could be used was a Ferrari thing, not a FOM thing.

Ah, here I go again.
Top:
1. The 2000s Daihatsu Copen, it was a premium in GT6. So, it would be an easy revamp for PD to make. Also neat, PD is adding some K-car action to the game. At least the Copen and S-FRs won't be lonely anymore.
2. What? Another Ford GT? It has to be the LM Spec II test car, I don't think PD would simply model a new model based on either the 2002 Concept or 2004 Spec II race car when revamping the Spec II Test Car would be less time consuming. Yeah, there's no wing visible. However, that could be due to PD hiding it to keep people guessing.
Middle:
1. Another K-roadster, I'm thinking it'll be the Honda Beat. Mainly because of the vent on the door and the front bumper looking a bit riggy like on the Beat. That would make it another standard car premiumized.
2. Wow, another Formula car. Okay, my first guess is the 2004 Formula GT that was last in GT6 as an updated standard. It was one of the standards that got a major model update, so it's possible that PD finished the update to make it a full-on premium this time. Second guess of course is any modern-ish F1 car. Don't know much about F1 other than a few drivers.
3. That looks a lot like the latest Honda K-roadster, the S660. That would be a cool addition if it's true as I can't think of a console racing game with this car in it.
Bottom:
1. That's clearly the Mazda 787B, I figured it wouldn't be too far behind since PD already brought in 3 Group C cars. The headlights match the shape of a 787B, it would make sense due to there already being a premium model from GT6 to update. Plus, it already has competition waiting for it. On the chance that I'm wrong (which happens a lot), it could be the Porsche 962 perhaps. Or the 956 that came before it.
2. I agree with the news page, it has to be a Ferrari 250 GTO. That front end just looks too familiar.
