For the people trying to find out what cars are on the car selection screen, it can only be one of these:

Toyota FT-86 Concept, ARTA Honda NSX JGTC, Tom's Lexus SC430 JGTC, Amuse Ericsson Nissan 380RS Superleggera Z33, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, HKS Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru WRX WRC, Suzuki Swift WRC, Ford Focus WRC, and Nissan GT-R SpecV
 
Freakin' cool that they have the Ring as a playable circuit. It also confirms the Gallardo V. Balboni!

BTW the Amuse Ericsson Nissan 380RS Superleggera is a stupidly long name. Not to mention that it's weird that they used a Lambo term...

Um, its not a Lambo term-its Italian for Superlight(i thought)


but yeah, really cool to see a Balboni-black with gold n white stripe-epic!
 
Okay folks, I've read all the four pages in this thread and I can't find what I'm eagerly looking for: Is there d-a-m-a-g-e in this blessed demo???

Please, someone who played/watched/listened.....can answer?

I also found it odd for anyone else to use the Superleggera term. Although its not a trademark it just doesnt sound right on any other car, least of all on non Italian marques.

Even on Top Gear they jokingly used Superleggera to refer to anything that was lightweight. Remember the Lancia Beta Coupe SUPERLEGGERA! :lol: Other car manufacturers using it shows a lack of imagination.

Robin.

Well I think is just sounds cool. Doesn't matter to me if it's on a Lambo or not, cause I'm not really a supercar fan. Of all the playable cars on this demo, I would most rather drive the Amuse 380RS. 👍
 
The LP550-2 Valentino Balboni Doesn't necessarily have to have a stripe... It looks pretty much identical otherwise.

I know, thats why i think they confused the two.
The LP 560-4 is already confirmed, so i doubt we will also get the Balboni.
 
I dont expect many Lambos and we already have a confirmed Gallardo (560-4) plus the two Countachs from GTPSP which will most likely be in GT5 as well. I really doubt they will put another special version of the Gallardo in the game. The chance that they confused the two cars is way higher in my opinion.

Ah i see what you mean now, the site that reported it might have mixed them up not PD?

I mean what i said is true, but its also true the Balboni just wouldn't be right without a stripe. And It doesn't look like the car in the images has a stripe.

Here is a much clearer picture of the Gallardo, if it's of any help to you.

Sound. But considering the 550 is an entirely different car compared to the 560, it might not be seen as a special version.

I agree, I wasn't expecting so many Lambos. However I do expect at least one murcielago (lp 670-4 sv??) and mayby a Diablo.
 
I'm really digging the style they're using for the sliding menus, too bad we don't have a proper HD video showing it at a good angle. Come on journalists... do it :embarrassed:

Ok you so just because you don't like supercars, it makes it ok? Would you feel ok if they made a Honda Civic SS? How about a BMW 135 Spec V?

Point is, the name Superleggera belongs on a Lamborghini. What's next an Amuse 390RSR Super Veloce?
