Since Porsche is excluded from Gran Turismo 5, which tuner should be added?

[McLaren]

from what I can understand is that the trade off for NFS titles is Ferrari.

NFS titles have Ferrari as well. Shift got a whole pack dedicated to the manufacturer.

With EA. EA can however "lend" the license to others for a sum of money. EA and Sony are however not really hugs and kisses with eachother, so EA simply ask for too much money for the license for Sony to bite.

They already spent $80 mil on this game, another million dollars or so is just a drop in the bucket.

Gemballa, it'll be just like GTA, getting shot by drug smugglers in South Africa and such.

Unlike Brabus ( which indeed is a tuner ) Ruf is a certified manufacturer according to a rule in German law ( another one is Alpina ), both Ruf and Alpina get an unmarked chassis ( no chassis number attached ) and parts which they use as a base to build their cars and then attach their own chassis number to it.
This is only possible ofcourse due to the close relationship and respect both Porsche and BMW have for respectively Ruf and Alpina and vice versa.
Both work together in developing parts and share knowledge ( BMW for example uses a transmission on their own cars developed by Alpina ).
So although it may appear both these companies are tuners they're not as both are manufacturers in their own right and can therefore decide to give their licence to a game without consulting or asking permission for it by the "parent" company.
A Brabus is still a Mercedes-Benz ( a Mercedes chassis number ) even if it's badged a Brabus, a Ruf or Alpina however aren't a Porsche or BMW due to the reasons mentioned above.
Although technically they might be perceived as tuner firms by those unaware they strictly and legally aren't.

Makes sense to me now, Thank's for the info 👍

which really sucks because I'd love to drive the 917k and 917LH around the original Circuit de la Sarthe and the Mark Donohue 917/30 around Road Atlanta and Mosport.

PD should just put in the Lamborghini Diablo GT2 from GT3(NSTC)

 

[okami11408]

Put in the Porsche 911 GT3 from GT3 too.👍

where did you get that screen?

In my opnion, there's nothing that could replace Porsche as a car manufacturerer. While a tuner might provide street cars that are, somewhat, an OK replacement, but there's nothing to replace the race cars with.

The only tuner I'd ever consider a worthy replacement is RAUH Welt, but since they're just that, a tuner, and not a car manufacturer like RUF, it's not gonna happen.

 

[Christhedude]

Is there actually any statement made yet, if there will be a RUF models as Premium? I'd sure hope so!!!

Nope, hope they will at least have one Premium Ruf, I'll nominate the Yellowbird for that position ( or the BTR ).

What about 9FF's .. ???? Fastest Porsche's on earth

Thats GT3 i think, just a RUF model thats in game.

No, it's an actual Porsche 911 GT3 that was left on the GT3 disc. It was drivable by doing a few GT3 hybrid edits I think.

No, it's the 'mythical' secret Porsche ( look at the Porsche badge ) which was rumoured to be 'included' but couldn't be seen or used by those who played the normal game, only to company insiders perhaps using a special version of the game or whatever, info of it existing leaked out apparantly unintentional and it's the first time I've seen proof of it.

Or what F1GTR said.

It can be unlocked with a Gameshark. It was modeled along with a Lamborghini Diablo race car, but was never actually coded in to the game as a prize or purchasable vehicle (couldn't get the licenses before release of GT3).

This is why the 911 GT3 is in GT3, Kaz has one.👍

Here's translated.

You’ve arrived in a Porsche GT3, we’ve also seen a Ford GT… What are the cars you own and which one is your favorite?
I have six cars. 2 Ford GT, a Porsche GT3 that you’ve seen but also a Mercedes SL55, a Nissan 350z Nizmo and a Honda S2000. My favorite one is definitely the Ford GT, since it goes back to the day I was born.
