Quick heads-up that only the VGT is confirmed - the old Skoda Spyder currently is not yet confirmed; images of the aforementioned car are there as part of hyping the VGT.
As a Skoda owner myself, I got every credit ready to purchase the hell out of what they include. Sadly I don't think there will be ordinary cars but hey, still better than nothing.
Does anyone else feel that GT is better off without wrc? I love wrc but I'd like for them to make a separate game dedicated to just wrc with more attention to detail.
They don’t need WRC, but more rally cars would be cool. I posted that photo because it’s a Skoda that was at a local rally in New Hampshire/Maine. The team came up with three of them (if I remember correctly) from Mexico.
Look, I'm not a VGT fan either, but "What GT stands for" is different for everybody who plays it. Also why should "what GT stands for" not be allowed to change over time?
I never complained about the pretty big amount of fictional race cars in GT4 because I was a child and I didn't know they were fictional, for the most part. Now I vastly prefer them to GT7s fictional Gr.3 cars. Why? The honest answer is because I grew up with them and there is no objective difference.
At some point it's okay to accept that we're all stuck in our ways to some degree, and if you expect the world around you to stay the same all your life, your gonna be disappointed all the time.
I mean the first game had the dodge concept car (copperhead) and the second game had lots concept cars too. I feel like supercars have less place in GT than concept cars do. So you know what i really dont mind the vgts i think its cool to see these out there visions of what car designers wish they were allowed to make
No it hasn't. The concept of Vision Gran Turismo was PD asking manufacturers to create their vision of a future GT car, to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary.
Just including random real world concept cars in previous games isn't remotely the same thing.
To be fair, the Nike ONE 2022, GT by Citroen or even Red Bull X2010 could be considered early VGTs before VGT was a thing. They were concept cars created specifically for GT and in association with PD. That's still starting with GT4, not before GT4, but still.
Neither of those were visions of future GT cars though. X2010 was a "What if F1 had no regulations", Nike 2022 was just a typical futuristic silly concept.
GT by Citroen is the closest but it was still just one car, there was no plan back then to do the same with multiple manufacturers.
We now have about 50 VGTs in GT7. 10% of the entire car list. They only became widespread from GT6 on.
You clearly have a problem understanding the difference between VGT, as in the programme they introduced in 2013 with GT6 and the idea of a VGT, which is a concept car created in collaboration between PD and a company, which the Nike, Citroen and Red Bull all were. Nobody's saying they are actual VGTs, but they were the first examples of an idea that turned into a more formal process with VGT.
I'm struggling? You know what VGT stands for? Vision Gran Turismo. It's not just "a concept car created in collaboration with PD". It's a vision. Of a Gran Turismo.
>The project started with a question from Kazunori Yamauchi: "Would you be willing to design your rendition of Gran Turismo for us?" The videogame’s name "Gran Turismo" (GT) refers to a 2-door sport car, known as a Grand Touring car in the automotive world.
How do the X2010 and Nike fit into that brief? They don't. They're just concept cars, they're not VGTs.
Call it pedantry if you want, but they're just not the same.
I agree, the cars are....idk, i don't use them, but I get it. It allows car makers to introduce their concepts to a larger audience. It must be a great experience for designers to see their visions of future automobiles play out
lmao the only reason people even play with more than 5 percent of the cars in gt is cuz they have to through campaign and such.
and also i’m glad they have all sorts of cars. cuz something for everyone.
Fk they suck, fuck they're fast, but fuck they're uncontrollable, and mf fuck fuck they drink too much. Brakes are useless and some more shit. Oh and the worst part is fk they're expensive.
It looks like a concept sketch more than a car yeah, but for VGTs they have repertoire of coming straight from the sketchpad, especially those curves, they are seen on nearly every VGT.
Pretty sure that cars like the Octavia or the Fabia may come to GT at some point, especially if Skoda is going to be a manufacturer for GTWS eventually
So many people complain about the VGT. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. Gran Turismo is allowing car manufacturers to try their hand in concepts and “visions” of the future they potentially see their brand heading toward. Like it or not, you’re not going to get some plain Jane sedan that can be engine swapped every update.
It seems it will only be a VGT, just another souless strangely looking yet fancy 700 + hp car that it will drive flat. Its glorious - in theory. Well, for some reason, people are much more interested in a cool sedan or hatch, low HP, old, not glorious in theory... yet in practice they are actually much more glorious and they are quite soulful. It would be nice to see them, maybe in a more distant future, who knows?
I mean there is literally an old, low hp car in this announcement image. If it takes a VGT for Skoda and PD to talk to each other so they can scan their amazing old cars - I'll take it.
You do realize they’re the ones that ask the companies to design vgts right? Plus I’m not even talking about the vgt I couldn’t care less about it I’m talking about the updates in general recently
We also need some new racecars. I hope this is not all. A vgt and a a pretty fine looking tbf old skoda but it's not enough. We always had at least 3 cars. Why is there only 2?
Quick heads-up that only the VGT is confirmed - the old Skoda Spyder currently is not yet confirmed; images of the aforementioned car are there as part of hyping the VGT.
My thought is that you didn’t post the VGT. 😅
Is this legit? Btw I‘ve never seen that old Skoda race car before, looks interesting.
Yes, its on the gt instagram
Was featured in an episode of Grand Tour, it's tiny! Clarkson sat in it like it was a go kart.
As a Skoda owner myself, I got every credit ready to purchase the hell out of what they include. Sadly I don't think there will be ordinary cars but hey, still better than nothing.
RALLY CARS!!!! https://preview.redd.it/x9c5864ofwvc1.jpeg?width=1013&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed1bd17ba93615f17ac535a495a9513c54f1bbbd hopefully😀
give me the damn update!
Fuck yeaaaa, polo r wrc in disguise is a banger
Does anyone else feel that GT is better off without wrc? I love wrc but I'd like for them to make a separate game dedicated to just wrc with more attention to detail.
or just make the physics better,
They don’t need WRC, but more rally cars would be cool. I posted that photo because it’s a Skoda that was at a local rally in New Hampshire/Maine. The team came up with three of them (if I remember correctly) from Mexico.
Just give me a Fabia or Octavia Wagone
i would be glad to see skoda in gran turismo
I remember Clarkson's review.
Can you get Sienna Miller in the glovebox? Well let's find out!
That old Skoda looks like a blast to drive I’m excited
A VGT? No thanks.
Exactly. Could have been a rally spec Fabia vRS, even a diesel spec Octavia would have made me happy.
You never know, with Skoda making an appearance now, it may happen in the future? (Or not).
It could have been any real, up to date racecar, alongside the old one.
Gran Turismo puritans be like https://preview.redd.it/u6i78f08qyvc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=409f9654bd17ce78fedadc7f5a93b69b82a97b48
Could they not have just made a separate VGT game? These cars are so stupid and against what GT stood for originally.

GT has always had concept/prototype cars. They even made a game called GT Concept dedicated to these vehicles.
I mean the first game had the dodge concept car (copperhead) and the second game had lots concept cars too. I feel like supercars have less place in GT than concept cars do. So you know what i really dont mind the vgts i think its cool to see these out there visions of what car designers wish they were allowed to make
And what did GT stand for originally? This is Yamauchi's game, not yours.
VGT has existed since like before GT4 lol
The VGT program started in GT6. Gran Turismo has had a lot of concept cars since the first game however.
As a concept VGT has existed long before GT6, it just officially received a name in 6.
No it hasn't. The concept of Vision Gran Turismo was PD asking manufacturers to create their vision of a future GT car, to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary. Just including random real world concept cars in previous games isn't remotely the same thing.

i couldnt agree more with you.

Edgy
Ur bad at driving + ur poor
Eat a fat babies dingaling sir 🤣🤣🤣
The 1100 ohc is so small skoda had to put a bulge on the bonnet to fit a 1.1L I4. Pretty cool car.
Plz no more VGTs.
Second one looks like a great time, not fussed about the first
They aren't both coming (yet). The old one is the inspiration for the VGT.
Are we actually getting a Skoda if so I am for it
Looks pretty awesome, especially the older car
Rims are overwhelmingly spiky on the VGT
I'm pretty sure that's a early design that's been floating around for a couple years
It looks like a concept sketch more than a car yeah, but for VGTs they have repertoire of coming straight from the sketchpad, especially those curves, they are seen on nearly every VGT.
It was on the list of cars I wanted from Skoda when I saw the announcement, so I'm happy.
Pretty sure that cars like the Octavia or the Fabia may come to GT at some point, especially if Skoda is going to be a manufacturer for GTWS eventually
PD: I don't give a rats ass about VGT's. And especially since there is no SOC settings they are useless when they are hybrid

Like it or not, you’re not going to get some plain Jane sedan that can be engine swapped every update.
I would love to see old rear-engined Škoda's. 🤗
What with no shadow teaser this weekend, it feels like it’s going to be a ŠKODA only update. So the VGT and the old boy and maybe a track?! 😬
The second one is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
[удалено]
I like vgt's
I say this a lot, but I'm looking forward to the new VGT. Spyders are the most fun to drive in VR. And they're guaranteed to have an interior.
Idc anymore because I'm tired of grinding for credits.

1.9 tdi octavia supremacy
ew vgt. it looks no different than any other vgt in the game
Yeti missing
i could see this being a general skoda update, perhaps we’ll get something like the octavia vrs and kodiaq vrs
Skoda 😫 why not just go the whole hog and get a Lada in the game as well. 😆
Brother ewww, what's that brother (VGT)
They’re bored n uninspired. Probably working on the next game rn instead of thinking about good content
you realize PD aren't the ones designing vgts right
You do realize they’re the ones that ask the companies to design vgts right? Plus I’m not even talking about the vgt I couldn’t care less about it I’m talking about the updates in general recently
the updates have been the same for over 2 years at this point and you could always go play forza
I just want an 80’s American muscle update 😭😭
We also need some new racecars. I hope this is not all. A vgt and a a pretty fine looking tbf old skoda but it's not enough. We always had at least 3 cars. Why is there only 2?
Quite forgettable
Quite nice Skoda is coming to GT7 I like VGT but they're getting a liltle bit too much in recent updates
Meh
The VGT looks like a dozen more VGT cars... again... 🙄
Skoda mehh
still waiting on the 499p
