You call yourselves enthusiasts, yet this is the best Lotus list you could come up with? You don’t even know who Colin Chapman was, do you? Well, I bet he just woke up from his grave and is coming for you.

 

[JaguarXJ81]

Well, there's literally none of these Lotus models in game currently, so trying to make sure they're even added at all. I'm more than open to suggestions btw, always.

The Lotus brand is not in the game at all, in case you haven’t noticed. And FYI, even Lotus themselves admitted that the Elan M100 is trash, basically.

has a car being bad ever stopped it from being in a GT game? If you vehemently don't like the list make your own instead of complaining like this?

 

[CamPatUK]

The META post that we need is the list of best wishlists. This list made my list fyi.

Hmmm for some reason was under the impression there was a newer Lotus in game currently. Guess I was wrong. Either way, how about leave a suggestion if you don't like what I came up with?

I have. You know where I posted it? In one of the many already existing wish list threads.

• Lotus Cortina Mk1
• Lotus Elan S4
• Lotus Europa Twin-Cam
• Lotus Eleven
• Lotus 23
• Lotus 49

 

[p78]

How about Audi RS models?
How about Mercedes 190E, 500E, various AMG models.
I like your addition of Opel but no GT (1968 - 1973), Kadett GSI 16V.
Nissan Skyline Kenmeri (2000 GTX-E), 2000 GT-R, R31

 

[JaguarXJ81]

Well, that's good for you. How about go and micro-manage that thread. Have a good day

Taken into account assuredly, very fair suggestions here. Admittedly, I was trying to keep each brand on my list down to about 1-3, most having only about 2 suggestions. Thank you very much for this input.

 

[Cheshyrkat]

Haha. Came to see if Lotus was mentioned and was not disappointed. Especially with the responses lol. I would be pretty happy to see the Sport 300. It would be the closest to my car yet('90 SE) and at least the turbo 4. Though personally I think you could just offer the SE and then have the various hatch/spoiler options offered from 89-92 including the weight savings from removing the rear glass. Basically give the option to 'build' the 300 but I am a little bias and really just want to see my car in the game(or any game like GT/Forza) 😭

 

[MatskiMonk]

I wouldn't complain about an 850CSi appearing in the game, but I'm not sure what aspect of it appeals specifically on an 'enthusiast' basis, in view of the many other glaring omissions from the BMW range in GT7, that didn't make your list?

Wanted to replace the Carlton, admittedly. It was a bit of a last minute addition, but in retrospect that space could've been filled by a better Lotus lol

 

[Strittan]

I’m just trying to figure out why you think your list is more “enthusiastic” than others, and why none of the already existing wish lists were good enough for you?

Wanted to replace the Carlton, admittedly. It was a bit of a last minute addition, but in retrospect that space could've been filled by a better Lotus lol

Thats funny, because the Carlton is arguably the only real “enthusiast car” among those Lotus.

Just thought it'd be a good addition. Don't see much of them on the road, at least not where I live. Nice looking car overall, a bit on the rare side.

It's just a name. It's my own list, much like how you have your own. I don't see this as a competition, I'm just sharing ideas. I'm sorry that you do.

Damned if I do, and damned if I don't. Just can't win with you lol

 

[mwoodski]

This is an extremely odd list.

Please dont remove the Carlton. The Elan can go if you need the slot though.

Noted.

That aside, it is a very odd list... not least because your avatar is the Triumph logo and there's no Triumphs in it.

Also zero chance of the cars you're flagging as "Legends" to actually be "Legends". The Hagerty Collection appears to (with the exceptions so far of the Jaguar E-Type and Corvette C2) exclude all full production models, and we've only seen highly limited-run road cars, unique models, pre-60s, homologation models, and race cars in there. An MG ZT-T from 2003 doesn't belong.

 

[RedRockValley]

MG returning to the game with those models would be lovely, also having the MGF and MGTF back would be amazing

I am J. H has his own account. And W isn't on GTPlanet. I'm the only user and accessor of this account. They simply helped me out with the list is all, and that's probably why it's a bit odd. Three friends, three different tastes. Also, before the last refresh or so, there was a Mclaren on the Hagerty Collection, so I naturally assumed a 2003 MG ZT-T Estate would be ok.

Also I didn't add a Triumph because I chose not to. Literally how does my PFP correlate to this wishlist?

The McLaren F1 was a bespoke limited run car which was the fastest in the world at the time it was made (1992-1998), went on to win Le Mans without actually being designed as a race car, sold for £540,000 each when new and now changes hands for 15 times that.

The MG ZT-T was a full production, modified Rover 75 estate with an MG badge, which would have cost you £30,000 in top "Sports" spec and which currently changes hands for nothing. I literally know someone who got one for free about 18 months back.


You're not going to find that in the Hagerty Collection. Production cars are only getting in there if they're pre-65 by the looks, and six-figures or better. Otherwise it's limited-run, one-off, homologation specials, or famous race cars.

Interesting, I see and I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing this information. I'll update the entry.

I'm shocked by your optmism.

If Isuzu makes a comeback to GT, then they have to bring the Bellet GT-R...(my favorite small car of all GT games)

Similar thoughts about Lotus-I don't care about the newer ones, I want the old Elan, Elite and Europa from the 1960/70ies and I wold love it, if the Lotus Cortina would make its premiere to the GT series...

Not huge on Hyundai, but I support this otherwise. Especially the GSL-SE and NX2000 mentions

Respectable. Thanks for having a level head about it. I will likely remove one of the Lotus' probably the M100 since it seems least bit popular. I'll put up a suitable replacement soon.
