I don't think one machine counts as "Something big" (Unless it's the Tank Car or the Toronado), maybe as a part of that "Something big".

There will have been more than a touch of marketing hyperbole, of course.

I agree with @sparkytooth, the Nissan LMP1 isn't "something big". In my opinion, "something big" would be something that would acutally take us by surprise. We expected that car to be in GT6 at some point months before the actual tweets, so this isn't "something big" at all.

Oh I think you'll find that the Nissan LMP1 is "something big" to Lucas. It's an LMP1 for Le Mans. Motorsport doesn't get much bigger than that.
It's not at all unlikely that he was referring to completing setup work and testing of the car in GT6.

I think GT being the first game to get the most talked about racing car in the world is big. The GT-R LM Nismo is the hottest motorsport topic, bar the Mercedes F1 debacle, at the moment and having it compete in GT before it races in reality is a huge coup.

Speaking of "something big", still waiting on this official FIA online series that was supposed to come around right about now.

Maybe Lucas also had some involvement in that?

If he was talking about his personal opinion on that car being in the game, then I get that it is "something big" to him. But if he was talking about it being something big for us and for the game, well... it just isn't. At least to me it isn't, it's just another LMP1, maybe (surely) the most recent one, but nothing breath taking about it. If anything, it's the less impressive LMP1 in my opinion.

I suspect once it's running at it's full potential, you may change your opinion.

I think it's freaking beautiful.

I doubt it. Just to be clear and also to be fair, I'm not considering its potential speed, my opinion is solely based on the way it looks, which is terrible in my opinion, the only thing that makes it look a bit better is the fact that they decided to run an homage livery.

Well the overall design is based on minimal drag. I think when you design something that has a specific purpose, it's probably not going to look all that great. But in racing, it really doesn't matter what the car looks like, as long as it wins races.

Agreed. But as you can probably see by looking at my avatar, I hope that they will not win races at all, but I do hope that they'll finish ahead of Toyota though.Well the overall design is based on minimal drag.

anyway, what happens if it becomes the next Furai or something? then you will all thank your lucky stars that you can race, and the rest of the world will look on in envy.

Unlike EA, PoDi never made exclusive contract for cars
My bad, "exclusive" wasn't the word I was looking for, I wanted to say "premiere", I would've thought that GT would have been the first to show it and have it in a video game, but they aren't.

that car looks terrible compared to the GT6 version, look at the lights for example

Have you seen the GT6 version? because I haven't. But to be fair there's a strong chance that the car will look way better compared to what EA did.

considering the accuracy of GT6's lighting, and their getting much better at simulating cars, id be suprised if its much different to the original

They usually model the cars really nicely
