I want to see a tesla pitstop. Do they plug it in or what?

I doubt the car can be entered in endurance races and maybe even longer championship races for this reason. You'll surely be able to change tires on it, but I doubt any battery charging will take place and certainly not fuel "refilling." There will probably just be one or two less pit workers since it wouldn't be necessary.

They'll have a special pit stop for electric cars. You'll pull up to a house where a man is watching the simpsons in a tank top and boxers. You'll knock on the door and ask if you can borrow an outlet at which point you both fall asleep with a bucket of chicken wings in your laps.

In real life the Tesla wouldn't even last that many laps at full bore. I don't see how they can realistically let it enter any race above 5 laps depending in circuit length.

I can confirm this, they've just finished modelling my house and me wearing that exact outfit ( although I asked to dress somewhat less formal ), although the chicken wings are inaccurate, it was a pizza ( seeing the digitally replicated peperoni impressed the hell out of me ).;)
 
Can someone tell me in which countries the Subaru Impreza WRX STI sedan are available as an official 2010 model? I'm a bit confused about the one included in the GT5 Gamescom demo build as it carries the year 2010. Has PD made a mistake or has the WRX STI in fact been available as a 2010 sedan?

I've read somewhere that the WRX STI sedan will go on sale in the summer or fall of 2010 but it's still referred to as a 2011 model.

IMO, it's just an odd convention that separates North America from the rest of the world. We have a habit of getting cars very early and giving them the next year's designation (the '11 Mustang is a good example, available since April or May 2010). So I think that since the sedan STI was available here during the actual year 2010, that's why it's labeled as such. I've noticed British magazines such as Evo and Car always tag the car with the year it's actually available to drive instead.

The sedan was available in Japan as a 2010 model. It took them a year to bring the sedan stateside.
The 2011 STI and WRX have already gone on sale in the US.

Thats not true, the new STI sedan was first shown in the US and then Japan. The reason that its a 2010 is because the rest of the world except the US name the model year that the car is sold in.

That doesn't seem to fit the description for the usual conservatives that would generally buy such a vehicle
 
It's a kind of weird convention us North Americans have, it's like we're driving cars so new that they're from the future!
Part of it seems to me that it's just a marketing thing to give people the impression that the car is really new and fresh.

It's not marketing, it's finance.

The model year has a big determination on the residual value of a leased car. So a '10 model with 0 miles on it will have a more expensive lease term than the '11 model sitting next to it.

By getting early models out ASAP, the OEMs can use better lease terms to close the sale.

You're right. my apologies. I remember seeing pictures of the car about this time last year and assumed it was out in japan at the time.

I don't think it's only the US who use that strategy. The Danish press also refer to the new WRX STI as a 2011 model. It will go on sale here next month.
 
I don't know it's weird...
It does have stripes on the side like a GT500 but the wheels are the same as the Mustang GT Premium in GT5P. Also the spoiler looks like a regular Mustang V8 GT spoiler.
I'd say it's the Mustang from Prologue but with the stripes, I'm not 100% sure.
 
Why does the guy say 'Aww, it's the 4.2, it's not the V8' because I'm pretty sure it is the V8, unless he meant to say V10

Is the MazdaSpeed 6 going to be in GT5? I hope so, just like it's in the PSP version.

I remember the MazdaSpeed 6 was one of my favourite cars in GT4, it went like hell, and 4 wheel drive, very fun to drive it through corners, expecially at Autumn Ring
 
Yeah, clearly a GT badge, not a snake, wrong spoiler, wheels. Maybe the black stripe on the bottom of the door confused him.
 
Hopefully in the next few days these demos might show us some new AI cars. I doubt it but we should keep a look out.
 
Anyone else nervous that we haven't seen an Aston Martin in any of the demos? I heard someone say that there was some contract that was restricting them from being in GT but I barely remember it.
 
No, there are 2 or so AMs in the game. There's a picture of the APEX book with Aston on the page.
