The fastest race cars ever made are not F1 cars or Group-C. They are the Can-Am cars.​
 
Many people ask for Porsches, if there any issues with license, dear Polyphony Digital, please take a visit for 1-14-33 FugigokoroKashiwa-shi Chiba, there you will meet gentleman Nakira Akai, he makes best custom Porsches in the world since 1997, how it haven't added to Gran Turismo yet?

Because of the large Porsche logo on the tail lights and hood? 💡
 
I found this video recently and I remember that someone asked about the Ariel Atom recently.

The car was in their hands at the time of gt4...

There's quite a few cars in that video that never made it to GT.

The two Morgans near the end, Bentley Turbo, Citroen DS. There might be a couple of others that I've missed too.
 
Premiums of course:

Toyota AE86
Toyota Supra RZ
BMW M3 E30
Lamborghini Diablo
Bugatti Veyron Supersport
Opel Calibra
Opel Manta
Fiat Coupe Plus
Koenigsegg Agera R
Pagani Hyura


Just a fast thought and these came up first. But I can easily do a 30 car list :P

Just a teaser :)

Porsche 911 Strassenversion. With a livery editor, we could do this :

The Porsche will probably never happen, but these are, after all, just wishes. :(

^This. The problem with RAUH-Welts is that they're just modified Porsches, whereas something like RUFs are fully custom cars that happen to use a Porsche body shell; there are no Porsche logos on a RUF.
 
Nissan ZEOD RC

19093015171185849290.jpg





Unique Nissan ZEOD RC is an innovative test bed for electric technologies
  • Nissan ZEOD RC will utilise the same lithium battery technology as used in the award-winning Nissan Leaf
  • The Nissan ZEOD RC will achieve speeds in excess of 300km/h
  • Multiple electric drivetrain technologies to be tested before racing in 2014 Le Mans 24 Hour and assesed for potential in LMP1
  • Nissan again at the forefront of Zero Emission and battery technology

LE MANS, France (21 June 2013) - Nissan today unveiled the groundbreaking, innovative ZEOD RC - the world's fastest electric racing car that will reach speeds of more than 300km/h with electric technology at the Le Mans 24 Hours.

The ZEOD RC (Zero Emission On Demand Racing Car) will make its race debut at next year's Le Mans 24 Hour. The global leader in electric vehicles for the road, Nissan will trial variants of new electric drive train technologies as part of its intended future return to LM P1 competition to challenge for overall victory at the world's most prestigious endurance race.

Nissan's invitation from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) to compete in the 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours was announced by Nissan Chairman and CEO, Carlos Ghosn in Japan in February. The car will compete under the ACO's ‘Garage 56' entry - an additional spot on the grid for vehicles that showcase new and innovative technology.

Run as a Nissan / Nismo full factory international program with input from Japan, Europe and the US, the Nissan ZEOD RC design team is headed by Ben Bowlby who has been newly-appointed as Nissan's Director of Motorsport Innovation and previously worked on the Nissan DeltaWing program in 2012.

While the car will not race until next year's Le Mans 24 Hours, Nissan today kicked off a unique aspect of the program - race fans getting the chance to unveil the car in the public area of the Circuit de la Sarthe. Nissan intends to draw back the curtain for fans across the globe to provide continued updates via its international partnership with YouTube and its Nismo.TV channel.

"Nissan has become a global leader in the development of zero emission automotive technology and the Nissan ZEOD RC will allow us to further develop those capabilities using the toughest endurance race in the world as a mobile test bed to test the potential of our planned LM P1 power train," said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President and Executive Committee member at Nissan Motor Company Limited.

"The Nissan ZEOD RC is a natural progression that follows on from the development of the Nissan Leaf road car and the Leaf RC race car prototype. The technologies developed through the ZEOD RC program will form part of future innovations for Nissan road cars.

"Nissan is already a global leader in the sale of all-electric cars and we're eagerly awaiting the opportunity to showcase the lessons learnt with the development of battery technology in the world's oldest, toughest and most high profile endurance race.

"The ZEOD RC program is designed to develop multiple technologies to evaluate how they could be used for a future LM P1 class return of Nissan at the Le Mans 24 Hour. There are multiple options we are investigating. A Zero Emission on Demand option where the driver can switch between electric and petrol-powered drive is a future direction for road cars, so that will be tested in addition to pure electric power and other new technologies that we still have under development.

"As no other manufacturer is using electric battery technology in endurance racing today, Nissan is innovating again and this will provide us with significant amounts of data and information to evaluate potential powertrains for future sportscar programs and allow us to continue as the leader in Zero Emissions technology on the road."

Launched in 2010, the Nissan Leaf has become the world's best-selling all-electric car. The Leaf won the 2010 Green Car Vision Award, the 2011 European Car of the Year, the 2011 World Car of the Year, and the 2011-2012 Car of the Year Japan.

Nissan launched the Nissan Leaf RC in 2011 - a race car prototype powered by the same 107-hp electric motor that is used in the road car.

While current battery technology does not provide the energy storage capacity to race a solely electric Le Mans prototype, Nissan ZEOD RC designer Ben Bowlby believes the development of the car will be an important step in the "electrification" of the racecars of the future.

"Developing a car like this provides an incredibly challenging test bed for what could be highly-effective options for road cars of the future. Throughout the next twelve months we will be testing multiple drive train options in an extensive test program," Bowlby said.

"We have many options to consider and test. The test program is part of a longer term goal of developing a system and a set of rules for this type of technology in partnership with the ACO that would be best suited to competing at the highest level of this sport."

"Nissan is a leader in electric vehicle technology for the road, now we want to take those lessons learnt and utilise that knowledge base in the development of the new race car.

"Our design team on the Nissan ZEOD RC program has concentrated heavily on packaging and aerodynamic efficiency that will not only provide extreme performance but high levels of energy efficiency - the goal for all global automakers.

"A large part of our work in the coming months is to discuss with the ACO future opportunities for the ‘electrification' of the Le Mans rules in the future and work towards delivering appropriate technology. Garage 56 is a bold move by the ACO to showcase Innovation and allow testing of untried components and systems for future competition use. To this end they are the most forward thinking promoter in Motorsport today."

Nissan will partner with French tyre manufacturer Michelin to produce tyres for the new prototype. Nissan previously joined forces with Michelin on the Nissan DeltaWing program. The Clermont-Ferrand-based manufacturer has an enviable record at the Le Mans 24 Hour, winning the past 15 consecutive races overall.

The Nissan ZEOD RC will make its testing debut later this summer. Nissan's assault on the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hour will again target victory in the P2 class with 15 of the 22 entries powered by Nissan. In the opening rounds of the 2013 FIA World Endurance Championship, Nissan has dominated, taking victory at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps.

^I doubt it since we're getting the DeltaWing. Isn't the ZEOD RC racing in Le Mans this year or is it 2014?

It will be in 2014 as the Garage #56 entry. There is a decent chance we will see this as GT6 DLC as Nissan may see it as a good platform for additional marketing.

Come on, it's Nissan and PD. But, at least it's not another GT-R. :indiff: I'd actually rather have some more GT-Rs, I'm uninterested in a car that gives me that weird "what the heck, my gear- WAIT A MINUTE!" feeling every time I enter a corner.

I'm expecting hate for saying that I'd rather have a GT-R, but... I'm an idiot and I don't approve of single-speed race cars. It just feels wrong entering a corner without downshifting.

I can see where you're coming from, but this would just be one of those cars that adds variety to the game. Besides, you're not forced to drive it.

Prius TC. I've never, ever, ever seen anyone ever use it. Ever. I tried it, once. I still have nightmares.

Yes, it would feel strange entering corners without having to change gear but surely that would not last more than a few corners. I would be more interested in how it accelerates out of those corners seeing as though maximum torque is available straight away.

Ummmm, no. When I'm driving a car that goes beyond 100 km/h (so, let's say, not a Honda GX200 powered Birel AM29,) I use gears to judge my braking, and my cornering speed.




Even when I've got an Automatic, (not shifting gears on my own) I can still use the gear as a reference of my speed without having to look at a speedometer and realize "oh no, I'm going 40 km/h too fast and I'm about to miss my apex and hit the massive tire wall."


And, yes, that is me driving.
