They will if the Audi R8 Evo II comes out first. 🤣
Stop calling complete different cars duplicates.

Obviously not, it'd be a new car. I'm not really sure what's hard to grasp. We can already drive a GT-R GT3 in the game. It's older, but it's still a GT-R GT3. You could change the year and most people wouldn't notice the difference, because it's the same model of car. There hasn't been any major facelifts, GT-R has looked broadly the same for a decade.
Yes, in the real world the 2018 model is quite different but the GT physics are not detailed enough to notice. Has anyone driven this new model and felt the difference the lower fuel tank has made? No.
We can't drive any 488 GT3. You couldn't change the name of the 458 GT3 to 488 and get away with it, because they're completely different models.
Whilst yes, we do want the current GT3 lineup it's pretty obvious the priority should have been the totally new models first. Then when you're done, add the evolution models of existing cars.

Pretty hilarious how Project Cars 2 was able to get updated GT3s and GTE at the time long before GT.
Compare both SMS and PDs budget. Not really a good excuse.

Someone actually did that? 😯
You misunderstood me , my point is that dispite what you said being true, like Aksu said:
And the life cycle thus far shows PD is focused on e-sports, maybe not as much as with GT Sport but still.
No ? Your point was.
And the examples i gave show that marketing dosen't mean anything.
We don't know how deep the physics system is but the engine is further back on the 2018 model, giving a different weight distribution and lower center of gravity. Also the rear suspension is double wishbone instead of multilink.
What did you expect machine guns of the roof?.
I would like to answer that question but i am not allowed to talk.
Nobody excuses anything.
I totally agree with this point .

The parts for it are there as GT Auto parts for the R8 LMS Evo anyway, pre-empting any complaining. (They also did this with Evo IV RS, Evo V RS [sans wheels on those], pre-TME Evo VI, and S14 K's Aero.)

Why doesn't anyone consider the logistics when saying they want a new car. Apparently PD should have used the 2020 version of the GTR. And they just fall from the sky do they?
Perhaps the version they did was the version they could get hold of and model. Perhaps the latest version is still being used and raced and isn't readily available to sit in a 3D artist's studio for a few weeks.
Yes, like all of us, I'd like every car under the sun available, but how about being grateful for what we've got? Especially when it's given to us for free!

Can't argue that indeed going from the '13 to the '18 edition of the Nissan requires a huge workload to designers, still they are very similar cars, although not duplicates.
And, as you also mention, there are some absences on the GT3/Gr. 3 contemporary stable, which differ a lot more from the older models, notably the '21 Aston Martin Vantage GT3, the '19 McLaren 720S GT3, the '22 BMW M4 GT3 and specially the '16 Ferrari 488 GT3 (seriously, the F458 was already obsolete when GT Sport was launched, there is a '20 Evo version and, in 3 months time, the new Ferrari 296 will succeed to 488 as the Ferrari GT3 model)
No point arguing about the Bentley, as the brand isn't licensed at the moment.

The issue is they're still similar cars. Even when driving. And from a distance they do look similar. Doesn't really matter if someone calls them a dupe or not. But it does leave poor taste that so far they haven't showered the game with cars each update. Only 3 cars every time the update drops... really? GT Sport had several updates where it was like double the car count. That's the bigger issue here.

which I absolutely agree, it's not wise for PD to add a car that looks similar to an existing one when the entire car roster is still lacklustre in terms of variety. But saying the my18 GT-R GT3 is a dupe of MY13 is denying the man-hour that went into remodeling pretty much 80% of the car (if not 100%) and an entirely different interior. That's the point I want to make. PD wasn't lazy, it's just poor timing.

They aren't really though; and PD haven't really been doing so for a decade in the franchise. You're not paying for it because PD has decided for whatever reason that they would rather fund it through other means (almost certainly because it's far more profitable and they have to do quite a lot less work than if they actually had to directly exchange goods for player's money), but the post game-development hasn't been free.

Yes, someone actually suggested that a 2021 JAF GT300 car (Something neither this game had beforehand nor GT Sport had ever) is somehow the exact same thing as both the Toyota version of its road going counterpart AND the previous generation versions when it was so painfully obvious that it isn't. They were THAT mad.

Having many different versions of the same car is what kinda made the old GT games cool in a way...I loved getting the upgraded option bumper on an s15, or the special versions of midnight purple on a GTR. There are actually alot of different versions of the same cars in real life (imagine that ) ..that's why GT did it back in older GT games...I miss finding a unique version of the "same car"

From the OP, it sounds like they put a **** ton of effort into giving us a duplicate car.

Actually GT7 is far less capable of eSports than GTS was. The lobbies are much more lagging and there's a ton of bugs brought back that was already ironed out in GTS.
I think it's safe to say that GT7 is trying to be both a single.player game and an online multiplayer game with eSports ambitions.
If PD has indeed eSports ambitions it would be wiser to address the lack of GT4 cars in game. The real GT4 cars. And fix the BOP.
Then after that they could update the GT3 class.
This might be the first step towards that, but to me it's a backward way of doing it.
But I don't mind they brought it in.
Hopefully it's not the same people working on BOP and models

And to add on. Drove both '13 and '18 back-to-back, the '18 is just better in every way. Maybe it's to bolster Team Nissan for next seasons GTWS (just my speculation). Now PD, I need my C8 Gr.3 and Gr.4 please

Late reply, but dunno if not about Nissan GT-R, how about something like AMG GT3 2020 on top of existing AMG GT3 2016?
And yeah, while I won't see this case as duplicates, this is something GT already did on PS1-PS2 era too, like Mitsubishi GTO LM '96 (GT1 one) and '99 version, and Ford GT LM with Ford GT LM Spec II.
