Gran Turismo’s Most Infamous Cars

[@jordanleach4060]

This is what I think about too. In GT2 this car was broken, and was a do it all monster. On track it beat everything, and on dirt it was impossible to control but due to the power it was easy to win. I have fond memories of tuning down the top speed all the way and accelerating at an insane pace around city tracks.

Regarding the Yellow Vertigo: I was replaying GT5 a while ago, and decided I'd take a punt on it to see if it deserved the spot it has in LM lineups. Turns out, if you play with the transmission and downforce settings, you can unleash a very wobbly LM competitor, avenging all its AI brethren forced to crawl at the bottom of the league tables for all eternity. Stat oversight or not, I'll always remember the Vertigo for that alone.

Agreed! GT7 failed to implement what the series before Sport did. GT7 should have had 24 hour races and other iconic events that the series did. It's just sad how they cater to eSports nowadays. It's like eSports will always destroy fun in gaming, and Gran Turismo has found itself a casualty. I mean look at how they butchered Grand Valley, Trial Mountain, and Deep Forest, they last two keep on catering to online racing, killing what the series is known for.

[@BerserkerRohan]

Another kind of memorable car for me in GT3 is the Acura RSX since in the PAL version, they increased how much it was worth so you can sell it for 75,000 credits and you always win it from the Beginner League Type R Meeting so that makes that event a decent one to grind money early on especially if you have a highly tuned Type R to beat the Championship quickly.

@@purwantiallan5089 honestly GT5 isn't that bad. the AI is so slow in the early events that you can easily beat everything with even just a vitz, and once you level up a few times you can just do special events which are incredibly easy and give MASSIVE payouts if you can gold them, which isn't really that hard with a little practice. in fact my last playthroughs of that game I straight up avoided special events as much as possible specifically because they give so much money and XP that it honestly breaks progression.

[@toypop96]

I suspect the Vertigo’s ridiculous power level was the horsepower the engine could make with tweaks and restrictors removed. In some sort of error, PD took that info from Gillet and applied it to their in game version and ran with it. Either that, or they knew it was incorrect but they still needed a high power race car to fill out the grids in later races but not have it be too competitive in order to prevent players from finishing last (think along the lines of the GTS class cars in the 24 Hours of Le Mans races in GT4/5).

[@OdyTypeR]

I think you're giving Polyphony too much credit. The only way 3.8L is making that much naturally aspirated power is if it revs to 15k rpms. You may be right about their reasons, but they picked the wrong car to do that with.

[@therrydicule]

I got two hypotheses. 1. They just might have been confused about the engine. The Vertigo had a few engines: V6s with a 3.0 and 3.6 liter taken from Alfa Romeo. A 4.2 Maserati V8. And a 4 cylinder Turbo which was the same as the Ford Sierra. I think there was a version of these engines that made nearly 900 HP, but... Not in the Vertigo racecars which were almost always used in endurance. Usually they had 395 to 420 HP in race configuration. Let's call that one overthinking. 2. Simple data entry error in the spreadsheet. Let's call that one the dumb error.

[@jdmsnowmonkey7913]

I think the Opel Speedster also deserves a mention for its inclusion in Licence S-1 from GT3. Possibly the hardest licence to gold in that game; you had to do a near pixel-perfect lap.

I played GT2 SO much. I got to the point where I had specific suspension tuning for each drive train of car that would make them handle pretty much all the same. I could even reel in some of those high speed MR cars with no downforce. One of my favorite things was taking the Vitz, fully loading it up with upgrades, tweaking the gear and suspenions, and then just being able to run it flat out on nearly ever track around all the corners and blow the doors off of cars it shouldn't be able to beat.

[@DannYIIF]

The Vertigo stuck in my head for a very different reason: It is very short and light - that means it is compatible with the _compact car_ type events, that were full of kei cars. Watching the AI overtake opponents in the run up to the rolling start was hilarious.

[@McCloudJedi202]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was terrorized by that Vector M12. It's one of few races that I looked up a guide to beat back then. Honorable mention to the Mazda 787B from GT3. That car was near mythical in status to me. Never won it or got a chance to drive it. But when it showed up, it was tough to beat.

Also, yeah, you make a good point, maybe I did slightly over-write that Speedster Trophy strategy section over on the GT Wiki...

[@Roflwaffle16]

Hah, not at all! It's an interesting read. I don't think many people would've considered using the NA Speedster over the Turbo, so that alone would be a massive help

[@alessiobaruzzo1679]

Randomizer mod gave me the NA, so I used it for the races. So, it was better than the Turbo? In the end, it needed a good tune, but didn't require to max all the upgrades to win

[@TeaKanji]

Yep indeed, there's a few key differences. The NA is lighter (773kg vs. 884kg after WR stage 3) and has more front grip at the cost of slightly less at the rear (980 / 980 grip modifiers vs. 960 / 990). The torque curve of the NA is a bit easier to work with as well, though its redline is way earlier than the Turbo's. I'd say the rear wing and racing tyres make a bigger difference than car choice though, you can easily beat the AI in the corners to make up for the time lost on the straights.

[@frozencloudzzful]

Gran turismo was such a huge part in growing up for me. I remember us visiting my uncle who had a ps1, my dad always loved cars/sports was so impressed he got a ps1. I remember us being amazed by the graphics of 2 and 3 as they were big steps up from previous titles. It also opened up the world of video games, playing stuff like rayman and final fantasy vii. (Still one of my all time favorite games). I've played videogames as a hobby ever since all thanks to grab turismo. Though i was never big into racing, i did always appreciate it and thought the building of garages was fun. I also really enjoyed grinding cash for my dad to spend on cars. He was definitely the best driver out of all of us and i remember my uncle giving the memory card to my dad so he could complete the final license test. Tgis was all 20-25 years ago.

When I was very young (like 5 years old) I would play through the GT games with my dad. When we first played through GT3, to beat the rally events, instead of getting a rally car we used a Mustang SVT Cobra. We tuned that baby into a rally beast. We could clear every race with ease, gapping our opponents by +10 seconds or more. We would use that car as a swiss army knife of sorts and tried to use it in as many events as possible, including rally. It sticks out in my mind for that reason. I hope to own a real one someday.

Man, the structure of the video is a fantastic way to deliver this topic. I also remember the licence tests where you had to drive in a circle (was it GT3?) and while it wasn't ridiculously difficult, doing so with higher-powered cars like the Corvette was still a massive challenge. For infamous cars, my picks would probably be the Opel and Alfa DTM car in GT4 since they're far worse options than the other competitors in the Touring Car championship, the Mercedes CLK and the Audi TT along with its iconic livery. I may be biased though because I played the Touring Car championship quite a lot. For topic suggestions, I'd love a video on licence tests since they're such an integral part of Gran Turismo. Maybe on a personal level too with the question of whether they actually improve your driving skill, may it be the skill for the game they're in or even to other series. At least it felt like it improved my skill since I mainly played GT although sometimes it may just be that it familiarises you with the tracks as you repeated them again and again.

Griffith/Viper for GT1 tests and SSR11 Griffith in GT3. Laguna S license too. The Demio A Spec for sure. Among some others probably forgetting but yes the awkward opponent cars count for sure. Cien, Ford GT40, Cobra, Vertigo and more. The tuner options were always cool. The Pace Car, Pod was always cool to me. The concept GT2 cars and then you go oh that's different. RX-8, 350Z, R35 concepts in GT3. To me the MB 300SL is for doing 1000 miles I always admired it. The obvious concepts or stand outs Nike 2022, Lay Leno Tank Car, the older Audi with their original name for example. I never had issues with the Fit even if it does ruin the magic. I won't deny GT5&6 were the most annoying to pick cars for and the recommended listings weren't always great either. For tests/missions I guess..... I remember the Sallen S7 more for the S3 license test or the S1 Civic. The GT One road car did great race runs for me in GT3. One of the designs for the F1 cars, or my 15% F1 was great timing. I always liked the 206 Rally Car in arcade mode for rally events, first was by speed then by how much the handling was I think and just liked it a lot. The protomotors always stood out on the dealership. While the ZZ TommyKaira was just interesting in events it was in or seeing it. Speedster/206 everyone's favourite unbalanced events. The IB is not a strong enough warning. The rally car only does so much either to beat it I've tried still can't. Nitrous is needed for both. The wiki detail is there the 205 rally is nothing special than historical stat wise no, the Opel race car nah not worth it you can easily get those otherwise or the Astra which is better than the Calibra XD. The Impreza one is less difficult though But yeah the Vitz or Lotus ones in Professional events are hard. Extreme also are just annoying. Besides the Supercar or GT World Championship their own ways. Ah the money ones. Grr kart physics. GT4 options in special conditions or clearing any. That Rally Car is great. To sell the driving is eh. GT3 I never bothered repeats besides the cycling roulettes. Or save in and out and point count and skips. I use the speedway one in GT2 as the prize money and selling not the 8p sports car cup reward car never cared to do it. The speedway is quicker and less physics/driving model awkwardness I'll take that any day. Yeah B spec takes time and the right event. Credit making options are always there in these games somewhere. XD Even GT PSP has a Test course method and whatever lap count is one with the best car and Class S payouts. I never cared for vision GT cars, never used them in GT6/7/Sport only checked some GT4/5P didn't much GT2 or 3 the concept cars even so news to me I do the licenses all back to back not back and forth why not it's all out of the way they are tutorials also. Polyphony 2 15% yes please. But ah HP in GT2 limits then the GT3+ restrictions. I mean 4 as 3 has some limits. Ah the Vector M13 race car also NTSC it doesn't in PAL huh. So they fixed it by then.

[@OsellaSquadraCorse]

I never seem to get an LM24H race where that car ISN'T in the field - the chance seems to be 90%! It may be able to run twice as far as the other prototypes, but it still gets lapped roughly every 3 laps, so it's always dead last. Pit strategy is the way to win the endurance races though (amazingly enough.......) fit H/H/SH/SH and just live with the lack of grip for the first half a lap, but you won't be throwing the car into the scenery the way the AI cars do. There and the Nurburgring they will have near-zero grip at the end of a lap, but because it's not 0, they just...carry on regardless. It's quite funny watching them smoke the rears up along each straight, until you encounter a Nissan sideways across the track stationary when you're flat-out halfway down the Mulsanne

[@hamdichami4636]

@@OsellaSquadraCorse I disagree. Ideally you want to pit when the fuel tank reachs the halfway mark. So running Med/Med and pitting every 4th lap is better and more efficient than using god awful superhards for 8 laps. You will be faster and the ammount of time you will spend in the pits is roughly equal, might as well use the faster rubber. Currently trying both 24h races, and the Vertigo is honestly a monster on the one with 0 chicanes. I was able to do sub 3min on that thing. I am using the ZZ2 with a wing and stage 4 turbo. If i pit every 4 laps, i still end up gaining time on the AI (partly due to its top speed being in the 390kph mark)

[@CMDRSweeper]

The Ai in older Gran Turismo's having interesting errors and handling traits was actually part of the fun and jokes amongst friends. For an example the first tunnel on Grand Valley was known as the Skyline tunnel and the joke was that every Skyline that had raced on Grand Valley were missing the right headlight. (They always crashed into the wall with their right headlight) and was always silly and funny to watch the mayhem. Same as the first hairpin on the same circuit causing FR cars to go for a play in the sand and sometimes even getting them "stuck" for a period of time.

[@automobilistic]

great video, really well laid out and presented. For me when I think of infamous cars in GT, three mercedes come to mind, the 190E Evo II (IA-15, GT4), SLR and 300SL (mission 34, GT4). oh and the suzuki escudo pikes peak in GT3, ridiculous lol

[@colrmustang]

On the Cobra, there may be a licensing issue there, I am unsure. If you look into the history of the car, Carrol Shelby originally used the A/C Ace as the basis for the Cobra. Possibly Shelby America, the company that has the rights to the Cobra 427 name and such, wanted too much for it. They have always been aggressive in that department. Love the videos, keep it up man!

[@blainy-o93]

No idea how they managed it, but that racket the Demio makes in GT2 is normally what happens when you 'hybrid' wrong. If you use codes to put turbo kits or engines in an N/A car or vice versa it'll do that.

21:23 in GT5 there was a seasonal event at the indianapolis oval which could net you over 1,000,000 credits in what I believe was a sub-15 minute race. You needed a lemans prototype to get started, but after that it was foolproof since the oval is easy to drive. This event lasted all the way until GT5's online service was terminated. Perhaps someone posted about it on a forum somewhere, but idk any more details.

[@MarioLopez-dk3yf]

Another good money maker I remember was a 5 Lap race on Indy in GT5 (i think it was Like the Wind but im not 100% sure). 90k per race with each only taking around 4 min. meant roughly a million per hour. It is quite late in the game and you need to invest in a race car to be competetive (my go-to was the C6R which was around 300k for buying the C6, turning it into the race version and upgrades). Still a great money maker in the late game.

[@Mysticth]

Thank you for yet another great video! In regards to unique experiences in regards to any racing game, most of my time and experience comes from Forza Motorsport 3. I favor the year long series style where you can stick to any specific car and class and mix things up as I feel like it. Though I have played most of the other Forza games, I have a particular history with one of the AI drivers, M. Rossi. He's specifically a bit more aggressive as the AI goes, but something about my experiences with them was notably different even to my friends that watched me play during our weekend hangout sessions. If I didn't pit him at the first corner and put him on his roof, he'd put me on mine. This was the case from the very first race I played, and since I tended to play on the more realistic settings, my entire first season in FM3 went like this: I took off the line in my B or sometimes A spec firebird, usually took the first corner fine. Took my line into the second- and then the world starts to tip to a loud crunching noise. My car coming to a rest with the "floor" now being the sky, and my sky being two and a half feet up and rather solid. It started as just something I'd do only every couple of races. I'd line up on him coming into a corner and just send it full speed into his sideboard. crushing both of our cars in the impact with the wall. And then, I started to learn how to perform a pit maneuver. Was only marginally effective at first, but the more I learned and figured out the game physics, the better I got and the more devastating it became for M. Rossi and the less damage I'd do to myself. And then suddenly I was doing this every single race to start. Around this time, there was a new friend in the group and as they watched me play, they asked if I was always this needlessly aggressive. A few demonstration races later, and they understood. Though humorously, as they played the game themselves we all got to laugh as once again. I was the only person having this unique problem. And then, high school ended. I moved on to playing games on the PS3. Went to college. Graduated, started a life of misery in retail. I hadn't played a single Forza game for over a decade, and then just two years ago I picked up Forza Horizon 4. Now, I don't know much about the Horizon series (I have ceased playing as of this time, it's just not my thing. Though I did play a *lot* of it, and collected most of the cars before stopping.) So I don't know how much of a thing the Drivetars were in the previous games. To sum, they're an AI version of people on your friends list and recent competitors online. So they're the names that'll be over the cars of 99.9% of your driving time. Except for one race. Your first real race after the "Attract mode race", where you pick your first car out of a lineup of 3 has you fully offline to ease you into the game and it's mechanics. So no Drivetars or anything. My Dodge Charger pulls up to the line, and the count starts. As the go signal is given my tires screech against the pavement as I take off. Weaving clumsily through the competition and taking the lead. I slow down and steady myself for the first turn curving up a hill- when the world tips over to the sound of a light *thud*. and I'm then on my hood, rolling over onto my side, and crashing back down on my wheels. The only car speeding ahead of me, and the name flashing above it: M. Rossi. It'd had been something in the realm of 15 years. And in that single moment, all that built in, reinforced irritation and spite came rushing back to the surface. Yet, I was oddly happy. I was looking forward to it. Do I wish I had a less toxic experience with this AI driver? sure. That would have been nice. But those spats with Rossi and friendly, but often fierce competition was a welcomed return. At least I mused, as I attempted to put him on his roof, but only managed to spin him out given Horizon's goofy as heck physics. (You either only spin out, or get thrown tumbling end over end like you're driving across the path of a typhoon.) And then the race is over. The Drivetars are brought in. And I never see M. Rossi, nor the other racers I've known for so long again. Replaced instead by the masses of replicas, imitating the people I know in real life. Or the few opponents I faced online during the weekly challenges. Didn't expect my thoughts and feelings on the series to come out this way, but it's just kinda how things went, and where my mind traveled. I think I need to pick up a working 360 at some point, and another copy of FM3 again. I miss those days.

[@jean-paulindebraekt6562]

Got onto your channel thanks to random suggestions on KZbin and you made me long GT back a lot. I used to play GT up until the PS3/GT5 release which took way too long and made me choose Forza over GT and never looked back. Now seeing your video's makes me long back to the old days of license driving and running those One-Brand cups! My GT4 PTSD trigger must be the IA-15 Gold license, a 190e one lap on the nurburgring behind the pace car. Even my Father tried to chip in when i was young but we both were unable to beat it.

[@ezpzjayzaar]

I am a psychopath lol, in GT2 I first played an endurance race to get Denso Sard Supra and beat half the game with it. I remember though, there was an event blocking that car even though it was within limits. Event asked up to 700hp but this car wasn't allowed. I hated that event.

[@meeserbaker]

Man that yellow vertigo was a huge part of my childhood playing gt4 as a kid. I remember that vertigo was relitively easy to get without requiring much grindy effort. I dont remember what it event you win it in or what, but it forever sat in my garage as one of the top hp cars but was never truly a monster like say the gt-one. It was always my first "racecar" and i was always excited about it despite it not being very good. I was always blown away by the ridiculous hrsprs yet confused as to why i couldn't compete in the gtwc. I did always notice it in last place anytime it raced tho lmao. So ya its a pretty memorable car for me like you pointed out for different reasons.. My own reason.

I remember as a kid I really struggled with the GT300 race in GT2. And one or maybe two opponent cars in particular: the Cusco Impreza GT or the RE Amemiya Matsukiyo RX-7. No matter how far away I would get away from them, one of them would almost always catch up and steal a 1st place from me or just barely eek out a 1st place victory. To this day that series race still haunts me.

[@purwantiallan5089]

I use Umi Sonoda's GT40 RACE CAR or Coco Hayashi's Silhouette R30 Formula to easily beaten the GT300 Championship and GT All Stars tho. But you are exactly right, Ren Hazuki's RE AMEMIYA MATSUKIYO RX-7, Kinako Sakurakoji's Cusco Impreza and Wien Margarete's Ogura Racing RX7 GT300 are the toughest opponents in that championship.

[@KasumiRINA]

19:28 Red Rock Valley is also one of the easiest tracks in the game, and arguably the best looking one, and DEFINITELY not overused as it doesn't appear in any other game. So breezing through it is a blast, it was one of maybe three tracks I could finish easily as a wee little kid, the others being High Speed Ring and Super Speedway (in GT1 Test Track and Deep Forest were also easy, they are hardly used in 2).

[@miata0363]

I forgot the numberof the license, but on GT7, there's a rally license that was painfully hard, and I could barely get bronze. Later, I found it the game glitched and gave the Evo street tires instead of dirt tires. XD.They fixed it at a later update.

Oh yeah... As a person who played GTPSP only, I've seen a lot of weird bugs: -On the Oval Test Course, if you picked R34 Pace car and a lot of laps, you would sometimes be matched against some sort of VW cup cars (probably Polo) -When racing in GT500 cars, you had a chance to meet AI C2 Corvette that always somehow managed to come last, but was always close to the pack even after crashing out -On La Sarthe, realistic physics model, AIs often crash out in turn 14 with race cars -HPA VW Golf IV against DTM cars... always 4th obviously, but then there can be RUF CTR2 against DTMs with much higher top speed and power because of the turbo.

[@prophecyking3448]

Speaking of Citroen Xantia. It is another mystery why Polyphony chose a relaxed, luxury trim of the car to feature in the game instead of the Activa. Instead of just another random FF Euro Compact, GT could have featured this Baguette Magic Suspension car and its impossible cornering speeds. Also, BMW in GT2 featured no M-cars and instead had random E36 and E39 trims

Also that lack of mention of the Buick 62 Special in the muscle car event in gt4 is criminal. It was a custom on a bespoke chassis made in the 2000s with a 6speed overhauled suspension and 550+ hp...for all intents and purposes it was a 2000s high spots cars just with a 60s body on it and going against a bunch of 60s 4spds on 60s era rubber with marshmallow leaf spring suspension setups. Such a bs event.

[@LightningMcKingSVTime]

When I was a kid I loved Shelby Cobras because my dad did. So much so that I would get on Gran Turismo 3 and run previews just to watch it race and show him and pretend I was driving. I remember restarting them multiple times because it kept crashing, specifically the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Desperately trying to get a clean run to show its superiority because I loved it. The price seemed too steep to climb, I think it was 500k, and imagine my surprise when I found out that Gran Turismo 2 had an event where you could win one. I remember grinding that out, replaying races with it in it just to watch it win in the meantime. Watching replays just to dream. Imagine my surprise when I finally won it. The dream had become real. It was a pretty wild car in GT2 too. Seattle circuit memories in 2 and 3 are part of my core memories from my childhood. Because eventually I went back to 3 and when I got that car I was young enough to think that 480 hp meant 480 mph top speed. Fun times. They were my comfort when everything fell apart at my home. In the times when I felt the most alone I could always look back at when I was happy. I could remember Dad before things got bad. I could remember begging my family to watch the game with me. I didn't even mind if I didn't play. The sounds of those games are ingrained in my memory. If I'm half asleep and I hear those menu noises, I know exactly what it is. If I hear Panama or Are You Gonna Go My Way or My Favourite Game I get goosebumps. That's what Gran Turismo did for a lot of us. I don't believe it was in the first game so I never played that one that much. But I did play others like that, Test Drive for PS2 (Overdrive in Europe), I can remember playing Test Drive 5 just to use that little red/white car. Showing my dad. Doing drags in both of those games with my childhood best friend I thought would never not be around as you do. Switching to 4 to watch the intro with one with dad and 6 to buy one as the most accessible game with one in it. Gran Turismo started all of that, for that I'll always be grateful
