And once again the export shipping hooks are still in place ;)


They aren't removed from new cars prior to being sold, although many owners take them off later.

Chevrolet Silverado

Excite Truck (2006)
Yeah, I agree even though it really doesn't match up 100% on anything.
Dodge Durango

Excite Truck (2006)
OK, I'm going Durango. The greenhouse is a match, specifically the rear door and quarter windows, and the taillights are close.

Dodge Durango

Excite Truck (2006)
The back sort of looks 1st-gen Durango, but the front is way off. I'm open to more suggestions on this one.
Dodge Durango

Excite Truck (2006)
Too small, especially when compared to the Razor.
Chevrolet Avalanche

Excite Truck (2006)
Full-size, 4 doors, short bed. Any other ideas?

Jeep Hurricane

Excite Truck (2006)
In the rear pic, the shape of the hood and front fenders is why I went CJ. The grille and headlights had to be made radically different for the game because Jeep is notoriously strict about protecting their trade dress.

Chevrolet Blazer

Excite Truck (2006)
It's a K5 Blazer, 1969-72

Ford GT40

Shutokou Battle 01 (2003)
At the times the game was made, it was a concept, which generally doesn't have a published curb weight.
Dodge Charger

Real Racing 3 (2013)
Overall shape is good, but no Charger ever came with those mirrors or those exhaust tips. Possibly a fault of their source car, but still.
Chevrolet S-10

Der Planer 4 (2010)
Yup, that's an easy call.
Chevrolet Corvette

Project Gotham Racing 3 (2005)
Terribly-proportioned model--looks like it was done by a 7th-grade art class. Compare it to the other C4 in the game, which is dead-on:

Delfino Feroce

Project Gotham Racing (2001)
I remember being on PGR2 in the very early days of Live and ending up in a room with 2 randoms from the UK (it was afternoon here and everyone was just learning about time zones lol). In any case, one of them had a heavy Scottish accent and was very unhappy that I was able to beat him: "There's no way that {freakin'} Porsche can beat my Feroce!"

Porsche Boxster

Project Gotham Racing (2001)
Even then, it was still part of Microsoft's one-game sub-license from EA. The license was switched from PGR to Forza in 2005 and consequently PGR3 featured everyone's favorite fill-in: good old RUF.
Ford Focus WRC

Project Gotham Racing (2001)
Listed as a 4wd "Focus Cosworth" in-game, but as far as I can tell, it's the '99 WRC car without a livery.
Mazda RX-8 Concept

Project Gotham Racing (2001)
As has been stated earlier, this is the concept car, as the game came out in 2001 and the production RX-8 debuted as an '03 model.

Mugen Civic CRX

Forza Motorsport 5 (2013)
This car should probably be classed as a prototype:

Plymouth GTX

CSR Classics (2013)
Game says Hemi, but a Hemi would have the Air Grabber hood as standard rather than the dual dummy scoops.
Pontiac Firebird

CSR Classics (2013)
Corrected to '71 (only year for the fender vents)
Chevrolet Impala

CSR Classics (2013)
Corrected to '66
Dodge Charger

Gran Turismo (2009)
It's not a "440 R/T" either. That's Gran Turismo-speak. The 440 is not needed.

Nissan 240SX

Forza Motorsport (2005)
Incorrectly listed as a '98 in-game.
Opel Astra V8 Coupé

Forza Motorsport (2005)
They are 2 separate cars in the game, and are unlocked at different times depending on what region you select when starting the game.
Toyota Supra JGTC

Forza Motorsport (2005)
As per usual with any game sold in the US, any reference to Esso has been changed to Exxon.
Subaru Impreza

Forza Motorsport (2005)
It's the default paint--there are no other choices. Obviously a fictional livery.
Panoz Esperante

Forza Motorsport (2005)
The Esperante is a convertible. In most games it is wearing a hardtop, and as such, people have listed it as a coupe elsewhere on this site. If everyone is cool with it being changed, I will correct the other listings.

Lotus Elise

Forza Motorsport (2005)
It's a typo. Not intentional!
Chevrolet Camaro

Forza Motorsport (2005)
The back of the car was way wrong, but it lasted unchanged all the way through Forza 4.
Chevrolet Camaro

Forza Motorsport (2005)
In a testament to big bureaucracy, this badly-flawed model survived 5 Forza games unchanged (1-4 & Horizon). It then had its vinyl top stripped off, got new front and back end styling, and was reused yet again in Forza 5.
Ford Focus WRC

Gran Turismo (2009)
Ford's 3rd car in 1999 (driven by Petter Solberg) used a similar livery. The 2 main cars had Martini sponsorship, hence their exclusion from video games.

Full-size Chevy. Body 77-79; Grille & front end '73.

Actually, even though they read Ford GT on the side, Ford still referred to them as the GT40 Concept, which means the GT4 one is improperly listed.


Correct. Ford successfully licensed the GT40 name for the concept, but only the concept. When the production version was announced, the kit car company smelled opportunity and demanded big bucks to keep using the name. Ford decided not to pay and renamed the car.

It's also in GT4, listed as a Ford GT Concept - www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=2506


Not the same car--the side stripes are much closer to the production version. The Sega car is a very early build.
Ford GT40

Sega GT Online (2004)
It's the exact same car GT40 concept from Sega GT 2002, but the graphics have been censored and the name changed.

igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=18789

In fact, the '66 GT40 is also called simply a \"Ford GT\" in this game as well. Remember, Ford's legal battle with the kit car manufacturer who owned the GT40 name was ongoing when this game was made.
Buick LeSabre

Joint Task Force (2006)
The '77-'79 LeSabre matches up pretty well.

Or it could be a Pontiac Catalina, which shared the same basic body:

Dodge Charger

Sega GT Online (2004)
One of the very few games to feature the cleaner '68 instead of the overused '69 Dukesmobile.
Ford GT90

Sega GT Online (2004)
Active spoiler is functional in-game.
Ford Mustang

Sega GT Online (2004)
Has the '73 grille, but the chrome front bumper is wrong. All '73 had urethane front bumpers to meet the new 5-mph law.
Toyota 222D

Sega GT Online (2004)
This was to be Toyota's Group S WRC car starting in 1987. When Group B was outlawed after 1986, Group S died with it, and the car never raced.
Incorrectly listed as a '98 in-game.
Ford Mustang

Sega GT Online (2004)
Hard to say. Ford promo material just called it the Bullitt at the time. The GT angle was not played up.
