So much for my guesses on the Alpine being next.
The "LM" designation is the interesting bit; a rebirth of the dead Furai project? Will it actually be a rotary car? The 55 number, that everybody knows what it is: the winning number of the the equally winning 787B. Not to mention the number that was used on the Furai...

I wasn't really expecting a response to my question, but thanks Whistle Snap 👍
@Niku Driver HC It's also my favorite number.

Leave it to Mr. Snap to find those bits of info in the darkest places of GT6's vast data collection...
Oh, it is? Another reason for you to be interested in the car, I guess...

Wait what? You're kidding right? Or is it in the coding?

LM55? I guess 55 is really a symbolic number for Mazda, eh? Their winning 787B model has the number 55 on it.
Can't wait to add it in my fan fiction...

My thoughts exactly, and I picked the same color for the Infiniti! I think the Chaparral is the car that best embodies the spirit of the Vision GT series. No limits, make something extraordinary that challenges conventional wisdom. Its a little bit too out there but it's fun, very interesting, and good looking in its own way.

No premature hype train, that's Mr. Snap's trademark code finding. He digs around GT6's code and finds names and\or credits for VGT cars. Most of time, he was right with his findings (except for the Alfa Romeo, but its disapearance wasn't his fault), so I'd trust information coming from him.
I'd say it'll be a bit of that plus a bit of this:
a) Every other Japanese manufacter did that with their VGT cars (the hybrid bit);
b) Because despite not being a Japanese engine, Mazda has made the Wankel its trademark.
Which segues into my next dream: the sound. PD's new sound system + rotary at full chat =

LM55, hmmmmmmm ... sounds like a crazy prototype with a rotary engine and lots of torque. Like a 787B with the new LMP1 regulations!
Yeah, that. Although i also note that the VGT engine might be the electric with Rotary as a recharge (ala Prius), not the Rotary+Electric (ala LaFerrari, Mclaren P1, NSX COncept, etc.)I'd say it'll be a bit of that plus a bit of this:
The Le Mans connections are just far too high for Mazda's project not to bring at least part of the Furai's concept as part of their car. Personally, I think it'll be a LMP car (1 or 2, that I do not know) designed to fit Mazda's new design language. The powerplant could very well be a Rotary hybrid because:
a) Every other Japanese manufacter did that with their VGT cars (the hybrid bit);
b) Because despite not being a Japanese engine, Mazda has made the Wankel its trademark.

I dont know the exact link. But i heard that the Mazda wants to revive Rotary, but only as a backup for electric car for "efficiency reasons".
Lets hope its not happening in case of VGT, though.

Ah, there we go:

There is also a talk about the RX-Series revival using that rotary engine. However, the plan was suddenly scrapped for some reason and claimed that the rotary as a main engine wont stand on the business.

Yeah maybe. Putting business side on a VGT is a bit silly TBH.

@Monatsende it might be worth noting in the respective info posts that both Chaparral paintchips are provided with purchase of their respective version and that none (yeah, none) of the Infiniti's colors are provided.

It feels like it understeers a lot on my G27, too. I think it's basically because it generates speed much more quickly than it can corner, generate downforce, or brake. So it feels like it understeers a lot, even if that's not really a fair criticism to level at it, given the speeds you're asking it to turn at. I could be wrong, though.
And, really, I guess if a car fails to respond to steering inputs, it's understeering, regardless of what speed that's happening at. I suppose my point is that it may understeer, but perhaps not excessively.
Speaking of weird handling, has anyone noticed the Subaru yaws very unnervingly on Racing Hard tires? I find it much easier to drive on the sports tires it came with.

I decided to make a tier list of the VGTs so far, based on the car's PP. 
Your mileage may vary.

No traces of Alpine yet?
I had a longer look and the Alpine VGT is there with the other released Vision GT cars:
It was probably added with 1.14, so the next update will most likely contain the Alpine and Mazda VGT cars as both have traces in update 1.15.

Well, it doesn`t hurt. Done. 👍
Yes @Monatsende, my favorite color for this car...
I scrolled through the palette and thought like: "What colour, what colour? Not again red, yellow, white or black...."
And then it was so easy to choose...

It's so hard to pick a favorite Vision Gran Turismo and we're just getting started.
