*cough* source please? Those pictures certainly look very convincing...

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'm not sure whether or not I want to believe that. I call BS 'till real proof is shown. Looks pretty 'shopped to me.

-> I've discussed the details about the new Driving Park: Test Course '10s HERE.

-> The speculation of the second track is in fact the same track! One side is a shipping harbor and one side is a satellite dish. This very Test Course is so massive it can easily be mistaken as two separate tracks!

I thought I saw elevation in the background. Surely the Test Course doesn't have elevation on a straight right? I was thinking another Wangan track.

Aventador......ahhh....I'm in automotive heaven!!!
I love Lamborghinis.

 

[Mac K]

It looks like it, especially considering there is a Nissan Leaf there and I only know one company that would even bother putting that in their game

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Mac

Even if it's not legit, someone has some excellent Photoshop skills. Maybe Space Empire could show us the other three cars as well?

I couldn't see those last three pics(Leaf,Beetle,Aventador) being photoshopped, they have that "legit" look to them I guess

 

[RACECAR]

If (and thats a big "IF") this real, Well dammit PD got me


Would also seem to very likely confirm PD already was modeling the Aventador when it first went on sale in February 2011.

Agreed, and besides, who's going to BS about a Nissan Leaf

EDIT: just checked US, EU and JP gran-turismo websites and nothing...

 

[Hayden]

I'm actually really convinced by the photos. So much so i'm using my 2000th post to get behind them

Those shots of the track are from angles we have never seen before, the Lambo, Beetle and Leaf look very PDish and who would possibly bother spending so much time on photoshopping something just to get our hopes up? I'm trying really hard to keep my hopes down, but god is it hard

The date is the 16th in that photo? Hmmm...

Look at the left-front of the Aventador. Kinda odd reflection don't ya think?

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Yes I saw that as well, but then if they're promo shots then it could explain it

I'd give them a few days if they are legit, obviously they're not supposed to be released yet, so we'll find out soon if they are legit... I'm 99% convinced they are though, they look like the real deal to me.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

I guess I'm still sceptical as this was the guys first post, having only registered here today

Edit: congrats on your 2000th post Mr Dinosaw

 

[RACECAR]

Just noticed one suspicous thing: The Jaguar XJR-9 LM Race car (My Birthday car ). Thats already in the game so why is it in this list of cars then? Does this mean something's going with this car? Seeing as PD have been only releasing Premium, could this mean this is the first car to get converted to Premium?

I guess I'm still sceptical as this was the guys first post, having only registered here today

Could he be...Secret employee of PD?

 

[Downhill Dino]

^ Very true. This is very interesting.

What's with those testing options? G-Force?

 

[Carlos Fandango]

So is the Beetle.

Edit: What's that green button next to the start button?

Understandable, and you're not alone.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> ...

Looks like a new test track to me :-)

^ Indeed it is! And I've never seen a layout that is as massive as this!

Tidbits of update 2.03

New DLCs: Speed Test Pack, Car Pack 3

Special Stage Route X Oval

Nissan – Leaf G 2011
Aston Martin – V12 Vantage 2010
Volkswagen – Vollkswagen 1200 1966
Jaguar – XJR-9 LM Racecar 1988
Lamborghini – Aventador LP700-4 2011
Mini – Mini Cooper S Country man (R60) 2011

^ Hmm, that looks very convincing. All it needs now is an official announcement from PD. Where did you get those pics!?



-> For a 1st post, you started it BIG TIME!!!

*cough* source please? Those pictures certainly look very convincing...

I'm not sure whether or not I want to believe that. I call BS 'till real proof is shown. Looks pretty 'shopped to me.

^ Based on my observation, I think its legit as anything can be. No one would replicate a 'chop like that for stupid short amount of time!

I thought I saw elevation in the background. Surely the Test Course doesn't have elevation on a straight right? I was thinking another Wangan track.

^ In the history of Test Course ('90s & '00s), they never had elevation changes in any manner other than the embankments on each TC...

:Even if it's not legit, someone has some excellent Photoshop skills. Maybe Space Empire could show us the other three cars as well?

^ Even a 'Chop master like Jon Sibal would never replicate such a PD-ish image. This is the closest Jon gets:

Jon Sibal's Toyota 86 Rauh Welt Bombastic

 

[Space Empire]

Available on January 18th(GMT+9).

 

[Downhill Dino]

Maybe he works at PD or Sony.

EDIT:

The 18th? I thought there would some kind of announcement by now. Or would that be to early?

 

[Mac K]

Available on January 18th(GMT+9).

Okay you have us, now tell us who you are

 

[Hayden]

Source... Please

EDIT: I tweeted Kaz with a link to the screenshot.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Space Empire, you know how to make an entrance. Are we to assume that you have some tie-in with either PD or Sony?

 

[Mac K]

Could you at least post a video of the Leaf? I want to see that beast on track, and oh that sound

 

[FanBoy08]

Available on January 18th(GMT+9).

Wait, isn't that when the EU PSN updates and not the U.S and the rest of the world? Now I'm a bit suspicious of this

 

[Crispy]

I'm sorry but I'm calling BS until proven otherwise. However, if I'm wrong (Which I hope I am) then I owe an apology. If I'm right, whoever photoshopped those gets the golden medal of truly un-🤬 believable!

That's actually Japan's timezone.

It has a sound?

 

[diegorborges]

Damn. This is serious stuff... giving me goosebumps. Seems legit.

Aventador... and this track. OH MY F... GOD.

 

[happycorey]

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to shop, given there are NO screen shots of the new location..

However I'm disappointed in yet another Mini is in DLC as well as a hybrid along side a Aventador
