 Ford Mustang Driver's Education '98 (1998) | Extra bars in the grille and the side trim make this one a 1965. | |
 Chevrolet C-10 Driver's Education '98 (1998) | 1971-1972 | |
 Jaguar XK8 Grand Theft Auto (1997) | Jaguar XK8. | |
 Bugatti Type 50 Grand Theft Auto (1997) | Definitely a Bugatti. Judging from the proportions and paint scheme, it's a Type 50, 1930-1934. www.shorey.net/Auto/French/Bugatti/1932%20bugatti%20type%2050.jpg | |
 Plymouth Barracuda Grand Theft Auto (1997) | 'Cudas are Challengers looked nearly identical from above, but 'Cudas had shorter hoods, that terminated before the front of the car. This car's hood extends over the grille, which would make it a 1970-1971 Challenger...just as I said over five years ago. | |
 Ford Model T Car Tycoon (2002) | More a Model A, IMO | |
 Ford 1½-Ton Pick-Up Car Tycoon (2002) | Yeah, it's definitely a '40. | |
 unknown Grim Fandango (1998) | Not seeing it. It doesn't seem to be modeled on any 1940s-1960s American car, and it doesn't look like any Soviet car that I know of, either. | |
unknown Grim Fandango (1998) | Made for game. | |
 Datsun 510 Far Cry 3 (2012) | It's mostly an A70 Lancer, as mr mopar suggested, but with the front of an early (round light) Datsun 810/Nissan Bluebird 810: www.datsuns.co.uk/Images/Models/810/810-01.JPG | |
 Peugeot 203 Team Fortress 2 (2007) | Morris Minor. | |
 Chevrolet El Camino Tony Hawk's Underground (2003) | '68 specifically, from the vent windows and the angle of the front. | |
 Toyota Pickup The Walking Dead (2012) | Game is set in the U.S., so it would be "Pickup," not "Hilux." | |
 AMC Pacer Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | UltraRazza wrote For European standards, the Pacer was pretty crap. Indeed...enthusiasts often forget that car cultures differ the world over, and the criteria for what constitutes a good vehicle also differ accordingly. Europeans did not understand why American manufacturers would sell a "compact" with the dimensions and fuel economy of a mid-size car, and potential buyers from the nations saddled with displacement taxes lamented having to pay 4.2 liter taxes on a car with 120 horsepower. In America, by contrast, the Pacer was at the time applauded for its spacious, comfortable interior and smooth highway ride, two things that pretty much all European compacts of the day lacked. Likewise, the big 4.2 liter six meant that the car made an impressive 200 foot pounds of torque, with a comfortably flat torque curve from just over 1,600 rpm all the way to redline. This made the car accelerate well from any speed, made it a fantastic highway cruiser, and even made it capable of towing small trailers, boats, and campers with considerable ease. Sadly, nobody seems to remember the Pacer for anything today except for its odd styling. Hopefully exposure through games like Forza will improve that perception. | |
 Pontiac GTO The Fast and the Furious (2004) | Correct. Without seeing the taillights, it's difficult to tell if it's a '66 or a '67, though. | |
 Cadillac Series 62 Race Town (2012) | Series 62 coupe, not an Eldorado. | |
 Oldsmobile Super 88 Stunt Racer 64 (2000) | 1954 Oldsmobile Super 88: www.allcarcentral.com/Oldsmobile/Oldsmobile_Super_88_2-dr_post_1954_Rick_Feibusch-2008.jpg | |
 AMC Gremlin Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | Yay! Now to do a Javelin AMX 401 swap and see if it can get into S-class.  | |
 Oldsmobile Omega Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | Epsilon and Omega, both Greek letters. They didn't go to great lengths to disguise the names of the vehicles they based them on. | |
 Buick Apollo Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | The name Jupiter could be derived from Apollo, which is what I still believe this to be based on. | |
 Volkswagen Sedan Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | "Sedan" is the official name, not "Beetle." And it is indeed made for USA...it has the sealed-beam headlights. | |
 Freightliner Century Class Top Gear Rally (1997) | It's a football helmet, that's why! In game, it's called the "Helmet Car," IIRC. | |
 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Mafia II (2010) | It's a Ferrari 410 Superamerica: ferraris-online.com/cars/FE-410SA-0713/images/P000Fade.jpg On a side note, the earlier, pre-redesign rear shot linked in the thread above seems to be closer to a Ferrari 250 GT Boano: www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/2616/986945.jpg | |
 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | Doesn't seem to be made for U.S., since it doesn't have 5 mph crash bumpers that would have come on a 1977 U.S. car. | |
 Jeep Wrangler Alan Wake (2010) | Reference to Silent Hill? | |
 Toyota Corolla Alan Wake (2010) | Looks like an '80s Nissan Sentra, to me. | |
 Ford Country Squire Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | Additional content like this, combined with a lack of internet access on my console, are the reason I'm waiting for a Platinum version of this game before I buy it. This is great. | |
 Ford Mustang Street Rod 3 (2003) | With those proportions, it's a '67. | |
 Buick Skylark Silent Hill 2 (2001) | 1980-1985 Buick Skylark. | |
 Ford Pinto Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | An interesting addition...Pintos were very popular with the street racers on Mulholland Drive back in the '70s, and decently built ones could hold their own against any Ford Capri or BMW 2002. Now if there's just a way to delete the bumpers. Then just add some Minilite lookalike wheels and tint the windows, along with rock hard suspension and a roll cage...that's the way they did 'em then. -- Last edit: 2011-12-28 03:29:56 | |
 Edsel Ranger Body Harvest (1998) | First built in '57, but as '58 models. | |
Edsel Ranger Body Harvest (1998) | There are no '57s, either. Edsels years are 1958 through 1960. This one's a '58, though there's no enough detail to tell if it's a Ranger, Pacer, Corsair, or Citation. | |
 BMW M5 Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) | I'm fine with the Euro bumpers, but I wish it had the North American headlights, rather than these "bugeyed" Euro versions. I guess not everyone can be pleased, though. | |
 Volkswagen Gol Car Town (2010) | This platform was sold as the Volkswagen Fox in the U.S. market from 1987 to 1993. My parents had a 1989 coupe when I was little. It was something of a crude, noisy car, and the interior was pretty cheap. On the plus side, it was mechanically and structurally durable, somewhat zippy for an economy car, and could handle even the roughest dirt roads like they were nothing. They owned it until December of '96, and in that time it proved itself to be a capable, practical little car. I wouldn't mind having one now... | |
 Cadillac Series 62 Car Town (2010) | Called an Eldorado, but it's actually a Series 62 coupe, going by the trim. | |
 Ford Falcon Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 (2006) | Should be "Origin: Australia" in this case. | |
 Chevrolet C-10 Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) | Atomas24 wrote n your own words "thats one of the processes of "genericfying" a car", which would explain the extended cab. ...and what of every other thing I pointed out that makes it look like a Dodge? | |
 Oldsmobile 442 Driver 2: Back On The Streets (2000) | b3n wrote This is clearly modeled after an Olds 442. Just ignore the grille and headlights. If you ignore the grille and headlights, then virtually all GM A-bodies (Chevelle, Tempest/LeMans/GTO, Skylark, and Cutlass/442) look the same. The only other difference is in the taillights...which this car also doesn't share with a 442. | |
 Dodge Challenger Gran Turismo 2 (1999) | ShantJ wrote R/T? The car uses the 340 small block, from the horsepower quoted in the game, and 340s weren't available in R/Ts in 1970 (though their Plymouth 'Cuda sister cars could be had with a 340). 340s came as an optional engine in the standard Challenger, and a triple-carbed version was used in the Challenger T/A. Curiously, this car looks quite a bit like an R/T as modeled in the game, and for some reason it has Challenger T/A side exhaust. Despite the engine and exhaust, though, it doesn't produce the T/As horsepower level, nor does it have any of the T/A graphics or cosmetic features. | |
 Cadillac XLR Saints Row: The Third (2011) | Closest to that, yeah. | |
 Pontiac LeMans Driver: San Francisco (2011) | Nice that they avoided the temptation of making a GTO and made it a more common LeMans instead. | |
 Nash Super 600 L.A. Noire (2011) | There's also an Army staff car version, found at the military base on the extreme right of the map. It's olive-drab green with a white star on each of the front doors. | |
 Studebaker Champion L.A. Noire (2011) | I just drove one in the game...it's a Studebaker Commander. | |
 Chevrolet Advance-Design 3800 L.A. Noire (2011) | Seen a few in the game: It's actually an "Advance Design" Chevrolet, likely a 3800 1 ton. Push button door handles and vent windows makes it a mildly anachronistic 1952-1953 model. | |
 Ford V-8 L.A. Noire (2011) | The game identifies it as a Ford Roadster...it's a 1936 V8. | |
 Tucker 48 L.A. Noire (2011) | Note the strange "bump" on the rear decklid. This was not an original feature on Tuckers, but car #48 had some minor customization done to it years ago, and that pseudo-hood scoop was one of the additions. That tells me that the game designers probably used car #48 as a reference vehicle. | |
 Ford V-8 De Luxe L.A. Noire (2011) | Again, the car pictured is not a coupe, it's a 2-door sedan. 2 door sedan: www.chooseyouritem.com/classics/photos/161000/161139.1940.Ford.2-Door.Sedan.jpg Coupe: image.hotrod.com/f/9149338/051000_02z+1940_ford_tudor_coupe+side_view.jpg -- Last edit: 2011-05-21 00:37:48 | |
 Delage D8 120 S Pourtout Aero Coupé L.A. Noire (2011) | There's actually more than one, with slight coachwork differences. I've found this silver one, and also a gold one with a maroon stripe on the side. | |
 Ford V-8 L.A. Noire (2011) | I've found this hidden car, but for some reason it's bright red instead of black. A last minute change, or could there be more than one? | |
 Chevrolet Advance-Design 3100 L.A. Noire (2011) | Interestingly, both the Chevrolet and GMC models of this body style appear throughout the game. |
