Gran Turismo 2 - The Cut Cars We Never Saw

This video showcases a series of cars which were planned to appear in Gran Turismo 2, but sadly, never made it into the game.
In fact, these cars were barely started at all. Most of them only appear as text strings on the demos, while some had logos created for them as well.
I need to give a big thanks to Submaniac93 and SuperFrizzio, who massively helped out with this video, by providing information, codes, photos, and more.
Information about these cars was sourced from various places, including The Cutting Room Floor. It's an awesome site that catalogues various beta features, glitches, bugs etc. on multiple games, including Gran Turismo!
The images of the real-life cars were sourced from various places again. If I've accidentally used a copyrighted image, and you're the copyright holder, don't hesitate to get in touch with me and we can work it out.

[@Simcornerit]

Spoiler: we're also gonna see F1 cars from the 1999 season

[@jamiecloughgaming25387]

In real life there was only ever a '98 road version of the GT-One that's because it was a requirement of the regulations of Le mans in 1998 because it was competing in the GT1 category however the GT1 category was upgraded to GTP in 1999 because the cars that raced in that Category were more akin to prototypes than true GT cars so although there was a racing version of the '99 Toyota GT-One race car which was quicker still than the '98 version no road version was required this time so no road version of the '99 GT-One race car actually ever existed.

I remember seeing the Escort 1.8 GTI on the demo disc was a shame it didn’t make the final game. I had a 1.8 Si in real life. The fact they also planned the RS2000 Mk2 Escort shows they knew us Europeans love for fords. I really wish by now in the GT series we would have the following and I’d really love a really large choice of cars in GT7. Cars we need are Escort RS Turbo Series 1 and 2, and if spoiling us the XR3 and XR3i. Fiesta we would need Mk2 XR2, they actually showed this model in the museum section of GT5. Perhaps the RS Turbo too. A Sierra RS Cosworth and XR4X4 2.9 would be a great nod to the 80’s early 90’s. With how popular Fords of this era were it would be awesome to have XR’s and RS’s Fiesta and Escorts in game. If anyone knows KAZ have a word with him👍

The funny part of this is that Codemasters released TOCA 1 and 2 for the PS1, but since they had the EXCLUSIVE rights to use the supertourers from the BTCC at the time (and possibly the rights to use the Renault Spyders as they were a support series to the BTCC at the time), Sony and Polyphony couldn't use them. The same can be said of ATLUS, whose case is even more damning and bizarre considering that the entirety of the Persona series and some of the Shin Megami Tensei games was released on Sony hardware, but it was also because they held not just the exclusive rights to use JTCC cars in their games (via Advan Racer, also released on the PS1), they were also one of the main sponsors of the championship (note the lack of ATLUS sponsorship on the Racing Modification version of the Honda Accord, it's not a coincidence, ATLUS had to have said "no" at some point). All in all, licencing is a hornet's nest of incomprehensible nonsense and contradictions. And it was actually worse then than it is today.

[@RandomCarGuy17]

Fantastic work overall between you and the other two. I honestly thought you presented the scrapped cars well enough and gave a better explanation of them than I would've done. With that said, I do have some things to say on some of these scrapped cars. Starting with the BMW 3-Series, the scrapped ones are actually e36s. Which were the generation before the actual 3-Series in the final game. I also think the RMs for those possibly could've been based on other real-life BTCC liveries like other RMs in GT2 were. Man though, scrapping that e36 was a missed opportunity. PD could've altered the model and made it into an e36 M3 instead. A thing to note about the CLK-GTR in GT4, it's actually the CLK-LM, not the GTR. (CLK LM has a v8 while the GTR has a V12). The CLK-GTR is also in NFS:HP2, MC3 Dub Edition, multiple Forza games, and in PGR4 to note. The CLK-LM I believe also appeared in Forza Motorsport 1 and is in both Project Cars 1 & 2. Finally for Rufs, another livery that one of Ruf RMs could've been was the Ruf CTR2 Pikes Peak car that was out at that time. I do think it's more likely that the Ruf RMs would've been based on Porsche 911 JGTC cars since PD originally planned to add those to GT2, but I just wanted to mention the Pikes Peak car for the heck of it.

One more potential version of the Renault Sport Spider tha it could have been (and more likely to have been as a standalone model like the string suggests), is the unique JGTC GT300 car that ran in 1997. I didn't know about that one-make series however, that's very cool! I personally would've put that racing car as the RM for the stock Spider if I'd been in charge :D www.diariomotor.com/competicion/imagenes/2016/02/RenaultSpiderJGTC.jpg Oh and while writing this i just found out the car also was entered in Le Mans 1996, with a V6 swapped into it: i.wheelsage.org/pictures/r/renault/sport_spider_v6_le_mans/renault_sport_spider_v6_le_mans.jpeg A very cool looking car that also could've been a potential Racinc model.. About the RUF BR2, BR4, BTR4, and CR4, I can' say for sure because I don' have their actual appearances, but they all have unique bodies, with slight variations in front/rear bumpers, exhausts, mirrors, taillights and I believe wheels as well (although the wheels are still standard RUF wheels). About the BMW, they are different because they are E36, while the final game use all E46 models, except for the E36 Compact. The RMs of all the E46 coupes is based on the 1996 Fina liveried, STC E36. (Much later mentioned so nevermind :D) The CLK race Car that's hidden in GT2, is eerily similar to a concept that was present ed by Mercedes for the ew DTM rules of 2000, called the CLK DTM 2000. I made a replica mod of it for GT2 since I thought it had to have been this car's design that was meant to be on it. The Golf Cabriolet I think would have had its top closed, like all other converitbles in GT1 and 2. About the Polo mk3 that's hidden in final GT2, it actually has 2 opponent entries, one of which you can enoutner by playing the random Event Generator with a ~120-150hp car (the opponent entry has 140-ish HP as it was meant to appear in the compact car cup. About the Silvia GT2's potential green color, I did find a green with yellow colored windshield banner S14 JGTC. Right here: 3.bp.blogspot.com/_gYH9Be9uhsY/TBQGHDvwQ3I/AAAAAAAABPo/f0EFk7hmjDw/s1600/s14+jgtc+4.jpg Fun fact about the XYR, and specifically the Celica Rally Car ZZT231. The japanese game's name for it is the Celica XYR Rally Car. So it might have been he XYR's racing modificaion made standalone too.

I remember you since I watched secret car videos as a kid and I'm glad I found your channel again. I have subscribed now, and I'm glad to see you going strong! Also it's nice to see a fellow Simpsons Hit & Run player. Cheers!

[@MattJ155]

Thanks for coming back!

[@demonninjaadogg3]

There's too much Toyota Altzeea on this video lol

[@Newthon-ds6os]

@MattJ155 Do a video explaining all of Gran turismo 2 or explaining how play good this game , cuz i start with gran turismo 4 and is impossible to me play the 2 :(

[@heimanlee5955]

Racing modification Renault Sport Spider...could be those one-make similar to Clio V6, but there is a chance of possibility for Sifo Renault Sport Spider JGTC in 1997. XJR15 would more likely be the one with bigger rear wing/super rare XJR15-LM, as the winged one similar to the car known as study car for Japan's Tokai University. GTHD did have released in Hong Kong and perhaps, Taiwan with Traditional Chinese. I remembered trying out in Sony Showroom in Hong Kong, which unfortunately gone was the premium interior GC Impreza WRC. Tsuchiya MR2 was in blue full season in 1997 JGTC.

I already know why some of these didn't appear like the Renault Spider and Jaguar concept. The drivers are visible in those cars, but PD didn't want to show the drivers in GT2 yet.

[@X2011racer]

Yeah, the drivers would've been crudely modeled as a consequence, and it would've hurt the game's visual representation.

[@MattJ155]

I guess they would have had soft tops, like the cut Lotus Elise I mentioned in the video.

[@WaifuWarsRacing]

So many rare and unique cars. Great vid Matt!

[@MattJ155]

Thanks!

[@Tony-112]

RUF cars are much better than Porsche's. Btw I used to say Ruff 😅😂

[@Mister-Mayor]

17:19 wryyyyyy

[@wonnozline4094]

At 45:33 I think the bmw showed in the image is an e46, while the real life counterpart is an e36 series, but I'm not sure about this....

[@wonnozline4094]

*Anyway great job with this video, well done!!!!

[@Music34293]

Who else to see cut cars to playable in GT2 A-Spec?

[@elr8691]

I kind of secretly wish they would do a remaster of GT2. I like GT Sport, but there's something special about watching the used car lots, racing beaters and barely beating the other cars, and the awesome circuits that GT2 had.

[@f.hegerfeldt128]

Just imagine GT 1 to 4 would come to the store tomorrow. The PSstore would crash probably XD and. The price is not important to me.

[@Kyush4]

As good as GT2 was imagine if they had more time to develop it, it would had been amazing. Always thought the GT2 carlist was weird, for example, 323ti but no M3? shame they didn't put the Escort mk1, that's one of my fav cars, although the 1600 is a better car, by the way, there was no polo G40 mk1, just mk2 phase 1 (the red one you put) and mk2 phase 2 (the black one you put), great work!!

[@dave99887]

GT2 changed the game big time. So many memories.

[@vista1456786]

9:05 ah excellent, I will receive no lecture or ridicule for calling it R.U.F XD

[@hashrulsubzero]

Advan Racing, OPTION Tuning Car Battle Spec-R and JGTC. Three PS1 racing games that I've never even heard about it!

[@MattJ155]

Yeah, they were Japanese-only releases. It's amazing how many racing games were only releases in Japan - there were many more...

[@hashrulsubzero]

@@MattJ155 huh, no wonder. I'm definitely gonna try playing those games.

[@StigDesign]

18:00 its also in Need For Speed 3 PS1&PC :D it has the proper Racing design youst not decal`s, btw the one in NFS3 has the proper mirror`s in yellow btw :) PS1 version to PC do differ both in nfs3 also nfs4 :) awesome video as allways :)

[@MattJ155]

Thanks, I'll check that out!

[@icew0lf98]

5:18 am I the only one who percieves this as blue and not green? Because I believe I'm not colorblind.

[@kizzbizz8185]

love the music

[@daihatsumidget2700]

I kinda hate EA Games after watching this

[@LRon-ef7ni]

I love playing GT2. I still think it’s a beautiful game, despite the aliasing and dithering.

[@ryancooper4427]

cut cars in gt 3?

[@MattJ155]

Definitely one I'm working on.

[@ryancooper4427]

that's great

[@ronlivingstone1634]

I would always know what it would've looked like to tune a fiat 500 to a max of stage 4 turbo kits just the same as the mini cooper

[@ztaticself]

34:04 What about GT PSP? In GT PSP there was two Ferraris: The Ferrari Enzo and a F1 Ferrari Car. Gran Turismo PSP was released in 2009.

[@sulejmaniapologist]

Yes but GTHD Concept was released first.

[@r_4_135]

The CLK-GTR in NFS series is also in NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Its my favourite car, beside the Lambo Diablo, And McLaren F1.

[@jafp1617]

What about that Prius?

[@geoffreybrown4536]

I wish they brought back Tahiti Road
