Weirdest car you've ever seen.

[Tina Branford]

I honestly think the 1983 Nissan Skyline Silhouette Formula is awesome looking. As for the weirdest looking cars to me they would have to be the Daihatsu Midget, Mazda AZ-1, Honda Beat, and that lame Suzuki Escudo it looks like an oversized RC car.

... that lame Suzuki Escudo it looks like an oversized RC car.

Even though it's somehow different with its driving physics in Gran Turismo 4, it is still a great hill climbing beast when the time for speed comes.
I used to dream of having this car to drive around on public streets when I was nine. But, I don't think my garage would be wide enough.

Yeah, that Escudo is ridiculously good in GT2. I am so glade it is put in it's place in GT3 and GT4. After all it is a rally beast not a road beast so it's performance on the road should have been lack luster in GT2. I used to also want the Escudo when I was younger around 12 or so but back the my real dream car I seen in GT2 was the Toyota GT-One Road Car with 975 HP and good handling with it's 278+ MPH top speed.

The Escudo handled surprisingly well on gravel for a rally car. It was good in either an off road or on road race.

Are you saying that even in real life it was said to of handled great on gravel as well? Or are you just saying that it does in GT2 which it indeed does?

I was using references from Gran Turismo 2.

 

[Tina Branford]

Ok ok that is what I thought but I just wanted to be sure.

Now see, this is something I'll never understand. People go around bashing the Escudo for being so good next to the competition, and yet in the same breath praise the fully-modded GT-One, which is almost as good and easier to drive cleanly. It's very hypocritical in my eyes, since both cars are complete overkill in this game.

Anyway, back to the thread.

Other than the Cobra (which I mentioned a couple pages ago), there's the Phaeton, the PT Spyder (which I thought looked pretty bizarre at the time), the Concept Car, and the Ford Ka, which I thought also looked like something from a cartoon.

I'm not bashing on it per se but just pointing out a fact. This is a supposed Driving Sim(early and old mind you but a "Sim" non the less.) The Toyota GT-One was a beastly Road going race car in real life scoring # 1,2, and 3 in the qualifying rounds in 1998 they were fast as hell etc. But the Escudo is a rally(Dirt beast and rightfully should be the best on dirt however it should and does in realitu lack road going prowess etc. But in GT2 it's essentially the best on both which is fairly ridiculous if I may say so.

I love the Cobra it looks awesome and handles great to.

Renault Espace F1. It's an uber minivan.

Everyone forgets about the Cultus.

 

[Mr. CoolFiat]

Everyone forgets about the Cultus.

The Cultus? Isn't that the Geo Metro... oh yes, that is right.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

Correction: The Cultus Pikes Peak Version is a 700 horsepower fire-breathing beast. I think the power is slightly exaggerated in GT2.

Yeah, just like the Metro 6R4 or something like that... I believe it was a Group B rally car. Lots of horses, lots of sliding.

Wait until you see one at soccer practice.

I remember me and my mum being amazed by the Toyota GT-One when we saw it in the first license test it appears, one of the ones in International A I think, you have to drive it down the hill and around the corner that appears to be a replica of Eau Rogue at Spa. I distinctly remember her saying (No idea how, this was probably over 10 years ago, I might've been 5 years old at the time), "That looks like a hot wheels car!"

Your mom likes race cars/cars???? NICE!!
Weirdest car I have ever seen is now: Mazda Cosmos.... its just really weird for some reason.

 

[benzoboy]

Unfortunately my mum's not into cars that much I mean she can appreciate a nice one but you won't catch her arguing about the pros and cons of forced induction over natural aspiration. But in '98 my dad bought himself a PSX (Which was my introduction to GT1 and sparked my interest in cars as a whole, so credit to my dad there, even if he didn't mean it), and me and my mum used to sit together and play games when he was at work, these were usually the original Spyro games or GT1 and 2.

 

[NiksicosBr]

Phaeton, Renault Espace F1, TVR cars.

 

[Mr. CoolFiat]

That is quite cute.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

When I first got the game I thought the Ford Puma and Alfa Romeo GTV was odd.

 

[Mr_Nismo]

For me it was one of the Nissan march models i think it was a late 80s model...
Supercharged and turbocharged =\

Thought that was the Delta S4.... oh well..

 

[Bobert power]

My first car i thought was weird was the Vector W8, strange lookin' thing.

 

[Principalities]

I always thought that the TVR Speed 12 looked weird to me (compared to the newer Speed 12), not to mention it's loudness.

Im going to play it again, when i get a proper copy of 1.2 NTSC game. does anybody know if PAL PS3 can play NTSC PS1 games ?
TV is not the problem, can handle both 50 and 60Hz

 

[Caio_Reinhardt]

Espace F1...

 

[Pyle_PMG]

San Vito, A Brazilian Car...

We're talking about cars in GT2 . CARS IN GT2!!!

In that case, the PT Spyder is pretty weird. Definitely not the weirdest though. That honour goes to the terribly named Suzuki Wagon R RR.
