Volkswagen Beetle GRC Andretti Rallycross 2014

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's a really fast Beetle basically made for the GRC and will be driven by Tanner Foust. Anyway, I'm kinda a fan of the new VW Beetle. I definitely prefer it over the previous one.

Updated version with no livery

Specs:
Engine - Turbocharged, 1.6L TSI Inline-4
Drivetrain - Front Engine, 4WD
Power - 544 hp
Weight - 2,668lbs (1,210 kg)

That's a nice new Beetle!

Yes, I want this "bug" too.

It would be very nice if PD introduced rallycross cars in the game.

Given PD's relationship with Redbull, I doubt we'll be seeing any cars with Rockstar and Monster liveries in the game.

Indeed, what PD could do is getting the care with a "base model" livery or another diferent livery.

Liked.

@RandomCarGuy17 - Might be an idea to update the title and add 'Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross' to it as they are the builders of this car.

Okay.

The non-livery could be added as a 'base model' and the actual vehicle is the TF Rockstar livery.

World Rallycross should be supported with cars and tracks; got into it recently on TV and suggested, in the track suggestion forum, Trois-Rivières mainly because of it's new rallycross layout:

EDIT - The Wedssport Lexus has Rockstar sponsorship, mind you.

Yeah but Rockstar was only a minor sponsor of the Wedssport, it wasn't a Rockstar livery as such. It only has a single five-pronged yellow star on the back window. The initial images of this car was of a car with "Rockstar" emblazoned across its doors.

And pictures of the car unpainted have been shown, so I could see it happening.

Primary or secondary sponsorship doesn't matter; a sponsor deemed unsuitable for anyone's needs would not make it on.

The initial launch had both Foust and Speed's car. It's the Forza sponsorship I see being the trouble.

I’m not sure Red Bull would be indifferent between a car with a single yellow star and a full Rockstar livery being included in the game. We’ll agree to disagree.

I’ve noticed however that Red Bull is now the sponsor of GRC. I think this would perhaps make the inclusion of the car in the more likely as the Beetle is such an iconic car and that Rockstar livery notwithstanding, it would bring more attention to the series and thus to its sponsor. The energy drink wars are fierce but its competitors are quite pragmatic.

Regardless, I would love to see both cars/liveries in the game.

There is a new Eneos Beetle at SEMA 2014

 

[Bo]

A sponsor doesn't really make the car relevant to the GRC car though.

Voted! 👍
