Honda del Sol LM [Premium] 1997

[Fusha4u]

--------


@tankuroded's accidental duplicate:

PD's racing take on the del Sol: from poor's man sports car into a mighty mid-engine racer. Rumored to be powered by a modified NSX engine and designed for IMSA GTO.

563 hp (617 hp in GT2), 1962 lbs, MR. (Year is for provided for benefit of doubt, the year where the first Gran Turismo was released in Japan, and thus the year of the car. Doesn't matter as most LMRCs in GT6 are yearless anyway )

How does this thing have only six likes so far?! I mean, it didn't show up for me when I searched for "del sol" or "lm," but come on! How can you folks not be on board with this wide-body, MR-converted beast returning?

 

[StarLight]

One guy have this one ... mydelsol

 

[Nurburgthing.]

Ahh, I miss this little beast. MR it was too if i'm not mistaken. Return my beauty.

 

[Rudenut]

I'd like to see this return and also new unlikely lm race cars.

 

[Fusha4u]

Totally agree!!

 

[Harsk100]

This is cool. It should make an return, no matter if it is from GT1. Because it appears, then it will bring a lot of memories. That's why that I've voted in this car. 👍

UPDATE: I call defeat. An earlier thread was found: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/honda-cr-x-del-sol-sir-92-lm.299737/

Although my version has a more compliant title [and more accurate year, IMO], I'll let final decision rest on moderators.

Threads merged and likes preserved.

There's an little error: It isn't Just del Sol, but "Honda CRX Del Sol LM Edition". Actually, there is an CRX in GT6 but that CRX is in GT6 is the Del Sol'92, not the LM Edition.

I also created an thread for CRX 1.6 VTi'95.

I know that I shouldn't bump an thread but just for this LM car is based on roadgoing CRX. So, I hope that you don't mind this.

Actually, the name of the del Sol is something of an amusing tale.

It was called CR-X del Sol in Europe until 1995, when it was just called the CR-X after the CR-X was discontinued.
Conversely in North America it was called Civic del Sol until 1995, when it was just called the del Sol.
And in Japan it was called the CRX del Sol (no hyphen) throughout, even though PD used the hypenated CR-X del Sol name in GT2...

 

[Harsk100]

Yes but he doesn't mean the Premium version... That CRX Del Sol of GT6 is semi-premium.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about now. It has no relation to anything I just said.

Plus, the del Sol LM is not in GT5/GT6, so the [Premium] tag is moot. Can it be replaced with [Fantasy], please?

Uhh... no?

The "tag" would be meaningless and useless. And:

If the car is already in the Gran Turismo series and your suggestion is to enhance it to Premium standard, please put "[Premium]" prior to the model year.

Since the OP hasn't logged on to GTP since March 2014, how about we switch the OP to be owned by you, then you can edit it?

EDIT: But Famine's point trumps your suggestion.

 

[tankuroded]

@Famine - Nobody uses [Premium] tag for cars that were in GT1 or GT2, but not in GT6.

@Gravitron - Maybe?

 

[Famine]

@Famine - Nobody uses [Premium] tag for cars that were in GT1 or GT2, but not in GT6.

I do. For fictional cars like this, it is absolutely apt.

The only question over this thread's title is whether "CR-X" gets edited in to reflect a unified world name or not. I haven't decided yet.

 

[Mahen N]

One of the coolest cars from GT1 and 2. It was a bit difficult to drive because of the short wheelbase and MR drivetrain. But that engine, pure Honda heaven - 10 000rpm limit. Come on guys, more likes please.

 

[Il_Conte_Sky]

Dat Viper Oreca livery tho....

 

[legacybear]

I'd love seeing this back. 👍
