What is the car on the cover?

[LeGeNd-1]

That cover is not stretched tight over the car anyway, so any lines or bulges would be false clues to the real car's body profile, making this a pointless discussion to begin with. I don't think it's even a car from the game, but if I have to pick, I'll pick an Alcyone. That boxy back end and sloping rear hatch give it away. Of course, feel free to disagree 👍.

I did some paint work and result is following.

I'm voting on Corvette.
This could even be the Corvette Stingray that is only usable in Arcade Mode

 

[superberkut]

The Sting Ray's rear profile looks too low to support the cover at the rear, and the front overhangs would be too short, but not a bad guess.

A, 'new' candidate (though mentioned before in the thread) would be a Toyota Supra SZ-R.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

There is clearly no rear spoiler on that car, so being a Supra SZ-R is a very small possibility. Maybe it's the MA70 Supra?

 

[superberkut]

The SZ-R does not have a spoiler, and it is possible that the car on the cover does not have one either. However, the MA70 is a good guess. Between that and JZA70, there are hardly any external differences...

 

[LeGeNd-1]

So you're thinking of the JZA70 Supra SZ-R, I thought it was the JZA80 SZ-R. It makes perfect sense then.

I did some paint work and result is following.

I took it a step further.....

Combined both the picture of the car in GT1 and the actual car, and I got to say the Camaro is the closest to matching the shiloutte of that car. To be more presice, I think its the Camaro 30th Anniversary edition.... 👍 (plus, it coincides with the year that GT made their appearance )

 

[LeGeNd-1]

Nice 👍. It does look spot on there.

 

[HACKr]

Yep, gonna have to say Camaro.

At least it's not a McLaren F1 like another game we know...

 

[superberkut]

Good paint-work. I guess that settles it then; why would someone put a standard Camaro on there?

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Good work! Now maybe we can let this thread die! j/k

 

[TMM]

Good work! Now maybe we can let this thread die! j/k

Amen.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Amen.

I have a better idea. Want some champagne? 💡 It's real. Look at the label, it's from France. Gotta be real, right? How about it? 💡

 

[Boz Mon]

I was thinking camaro before I opened this thread

Don't even start...

I'm having quite a rough time getting a party started! It's been....what...5 days and I'm still sitting here with this dumb bottle. I got some popcorn, tho. 💡

 

[Syderino]

It's a special model made by Nissan, Acura, and Chevrolet. XD

[seanchump]

camero.

it's not a sube. check out the rounded rear tire well

 

[Parnelli Bone]

It's spelled Camaro, not Camero.

 

[choua01]

i guess it's the camaro too than

 

[choua01]

camero

 

[m2595]

I think it's a Mitsubishi 3000GT MR.

 

[TeamStig]

I'm going to say Subaru Alcyone SVX, just because of the distinctive wedge shape. Just look at the side profile.

 

[DaftPunkDerek]

Chevy Camaro for sure.

 

[SRinc.]

i always thought it was either a Camaro or Pontiac Firebird. if not that then some fictional prototype PD drew up and threw under the sleek covers...

 

[thesuperfunk]

I think it's a Mitsubishi 3000GT MR.

I always assumed it was this too 👍

 

[RevCounter]

Definitely a Camaro. Evidence from the silhouette image by Muzaffar Musa. Nice one.

 

[JToipa]

From the latest interview of KY in Famitsu regarding GT5 and TGS advancements (the one in the front page): "When I think about what car to put on the cover, I have to figure out which car is considered the coolest at this exact moment in time"

Let's think, was the Camaro the coolest car in that time? I don't think so...

 

[SportWagon]

Sort of NSXish, but too high. A photo of KY with a new Lancer circulated sometime around the height of [size=+1]GT1[/size]. But the mystery car definitely isn't a Lancer.
