 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Although Polyphony insist this is a Typ 1, the Typ 1 is the Beetle. This is the VW Typ 14, debuted in October 1953 and went on sale two years later. The 1,493cc (1500) flat four Typ 14 was introduced in 1967. At first I had confused this with the 34 but then the 34 would have been 'Der Große Karmann', 'Razor Edge Ghia' or Typ 3 Ghia which also ran a 1500 and was introduced in September 1961. | |
 Citroën 2CV Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Citroën 2CV Type A , from July 1949 to July 1959, 375cc, & 8 bhp Citroën 2CV Type AZ, from Oct 1954 to Oct 1955, 425cc & 10½ bhp Before all this however The Type A should have an oval around the chevrons on the front grille, the car Polyphony have made clearly doesn't. The car that Polyphony think is a Type A is in fact a Type AZ. Of course that's not the only inaccuracy they've committed. 1) The handbrake on a 2CV should work on the front wheels, not the back wheels. 2) The 2CV's front brakes are inboard to reduce unsprung weight and so, nomatter if it's disc or drum, you wouldn't see them anyway. 3) Tiny little inaccuracy concerning the shape of the floor pan. The widest point should be at the b pillars, not the C pillars. 4) The rear license plate and tail lamps are completely wrong. The License plate should be split with a light in the centre of it illuminating both halves equally. Like in this picture.

I mean I know these things don't run on much fuel (ten times around Tokyo SS7, flat out, on one tank) but come on! It was there in GT5 and even GT4, but I guess they didn't think it necessary in GT6. | |
 Citroën Xsara Kit Car Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Polyphony have Loeb's outfit and his 2008 C4 WRC with his name on the side window. It's curious that they don't have a name on the side of this one. I suspect it's because this is Colin McRae's number 17 car and since he had his own games at the time they didn't have permission to use his name in the window. Hard to say if this is his really since he had a tendency to go through so many cars. | |
 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | That would make sense. So did any actually get sold in Spain before Mitsubishi caught on? | |
Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution Gran Turismo 6 (2013) | Is no-one seriously going to touch on the name 'Pajero'? Latin-American Spanish for 'He who gratifies himself through auto-manipulation'. Even Polyphony will censor you if you type 'Pajero' in the chats. | |
 Citroën SM Grand Theft Auto V (2013) | Reminds me of a 1972 Citroën SM 'Breadvan' . . . if they ever made a civilian version of it. Gorgeous car. Such a shame we don't get to see any of it's party tricks such as the stock hydropneumatic suspension and lights that follow the steering. | |
 Citroën Mehari Grand Theft Auto V (2013) | Brilliant car, shame about the wheels. Rockstar obviously were going to use the original 120° 3-stud pattern but decided to opt out in case Citroën got all litigious about it. However if you look under the ferris wheel you'll find the wheels that were destined for the Méhari powering it. And yes, this is the face lifted Citroën Méhari, and as such not the American spec Méhari (massive round headlights) of 1969-1970. Also it's 4WD which puts it between 1979 and 1983, so it's just as well you can get the spare tyre for the hood and additional bumper bars as that would be factory spec for the Méhari 4x4. | |
 Toyota FJ Cruiser Grand Theft Auto V (2013) | If there was any doubt as to what this was intended to be, The FJ Cruiser's predecessor the FJ40 was originally called the BJ40 before some bright spark noted that calling it 'BJ' might not be a great marketing strategy, hence BeeJay XL. |
