Mazda LM55 Vision GT Revealed, coming with a new batch of holiday seasonals!

Maybe I'm the only one who isn't excited about this car, but all Mazda ever does is pay tribute to the 787B. This has to be like the dozenth time. Be it through name, or the number 55, or the livery, Mazda just rehashes the same old territory. They're like the high school quarterback living in the past. Do something new Mazda, because you have new and modern technology and you even have a modern Le Mans car. They could've even spin this differently in a way that makes more sense for their business today, like saying this is a future version of their current Sky-Active LMP they campaign in the Tudor Series. But no, this is just Mazda daydreaming once again on the same page of the yearbook while the rest of the automotive world moves ahead.

Until Toyota or Nissan win Le Mans (and it doesn't look too far away for the former) and Mazda are no longer the only Japanese marque to win outright, I think they will try and get as much leverage off it as they can as they are clearly very proud of it, and rightly so.
 
Wait a minute, I just realized. As far as I know, this car isn't available with the Renown livery. It has a Wankel engine, it wears the number 55, where's the livery? Does adding 3 more gears mean you can't use it?

Thats Mazda's testing livery. Though the renown one would be nice like the RX8 Touring Car.

I guess having the test livery is okay. But I don't see why they couldn't bring back the Renown livery again, like on the RX-8 LM.

And you dont need to buy it, Just go to the new seasonal and do the race, I did it with ds3 as not really fitting to set wheel up and fighting chair in middle of the lounge on Christmas day lol. Gor a bronze first run and was awarded it. Will go for a proper time when Christmas settles down.
 
Headin off to bed. First thing I'm going to do (after opening the presents) is doing the seasonal. Hopefully, it'll be with my wheel on a new, more stable desk instead of the wobbly one I've been using this whole time.
 
Guys, watching this and other VGT's promo videos I can't help but wonder on what system they run! The video clips are taken straight from the game as it seems but are like 100 times more photorealistic than what we get in the actual game! This has been on my mind since the days of Gran Turismo 2! If you watch that games intro clip you will be amazed by the graphics even by todays standards! So are we to get that kind of quality graphics wise in GT7?
(I'm not really a graphics person, I'm 100% physics 1st anything else comes 2nd, but every time I watch a GT6 video clip by PD it really takes my breath away and when I load the game it just looks nothing like it! :)

Agreed 100%.
 
Gave up on the Bathurst one. I don't want to break my G27 due to unmanageable Pagani when I have a perfectly driveable one in my garage.. with over 1000bhp.

Different shaders and lighting engine, most likely rendered on a pc or on a ps4.
 
Mazda LM555 is absolutely beautiful ! For me, it's the best VGT, currently. It will be hard to beat!
On driving, nothing to say, I take pleasure to drive. And sound is very good. Definitely we can say that PoDi found the solution.

Year 2015 promises to be good for Gran Turismo 6 - B-SPEC, VGTs, course maker - and perhaps for Gran Turismo 7 - an
announcement -.

Merry Christmas to all !

A Mazda hater eh? No problem, so many manufacturers in GT to pick one you like. 99% of comments about LM55 are enthusiastic. That must say something to you.

Merry Christmas. Enjoy life, and do not be so much serious on games. They are made for fun after all...
 
I just saw the promotional video and i think it looks a lot better than GT6. Could be pc rendered or something but if its a slight glimpse of PS4 graphics then wow...

Naturally, but you would think at some point they would try to apply that marketing to their current Le Mans effort, which I think a lot of people don't even realize exists.

No, I like Mazda, I have nothing against them in any way. But unless you have a valid reason why I'm wrong the comment stands, cus calling me a Mazda hater doesn't count as a reason. And I can tell by your user name you aren't the most unbiased source...
