G4 on GT4

[Heathyboy]

Nice to see Gran Turismo 4 getting in on the act

[ninjadave]

Cool! Any idea if they're doing any of the rag-tops with the roof down in this one? Or are all cars effictivly tin-tops again?

Oh, and any more piccies????

[Heathyboy]

Sure I've seen the ragtop but can't remember where. Looking good though. Can't find any others but not long to wait as coming out mid-March.

[pib]

Oh I quite like the "tin tops" as it would be my desired spec (in black or electric blue or red) . Looking forward to my first test drive of a G4 . . . on GT4 that is . No G12 in GT4? That's too bad.

[ccharlie6]

the rag tops even have the driver in there now doing all the gearchanges and everything. there may be some more ginettas in the PAL version as PD did digitise G4 up to G20 and all those in between, so it's a possibility (read it in an artcile in the GOC magazine)

And there's always the original GT4 Ginetta

[samol]

Here's mine !!!
Really hard work at full tilt on the ring!!!





Spot the none game picture

[ninjadave]

Looks good!

Right - I'm off out at lunch to get it - damn the misses and those new curtains!!!

[g32turbo]

Really disappointed that the G4 is the only Ginetta in the game. I've seen loads of pics of the model range put together for the promo pics. Was looking forward to driving a G15.
M Ph must be really gutted that in the Ginetta history file it states that the company now only produce G4s and g12s...surely thats Dare

[ninjadave]

How do you get it?
I'm assuming you have to win a particualr race series?

Cheers,

Dave

Yes I think it was the k sereis light weight cup on beginer mode....or do you mean the red G27 oh I had to buy that!!!!

Your red/white G27 looks gorgeous. Can't we have a full frontal too

[ninjadave]

Won mine, but in red, and I wanted a blue one. So I cleared the list, and tried again, red again... did it three more times, all red cars

How do I win a blue one, or change the colour of the one I already have? This is one thing that has always eriked me about the GT series of games

Although now I've spent a small fortune on it, I'm getting quite fond of the 1st red G4 I won

And it's amazing how easy it can be when you go from TOCA - where crashes can really cripple the car - to GT - where using cars as buffers around corners makes you go faster: It took me by suprise the 1st time a car shunted me... I changed the view to checked the back end, and realised it had done nothing! Still, it means you don't have to pay out to get it fixed.

mmmmmmmmm

[ninjadave]

Woo-hoo! I now have a blue one. I have just spent close to 70k buying nice things for it, and now it easily outlaps a stock Skyline Concept...

Now with another 100k I can make it really fly.

I have also just realised how you did those cool pictures... I've had the game more than enough time to have found that out before - I guess I just needed that ol'blue more than I realised!

- and that is a fine looking motor (above) - has it had some door mods? looks like they'd open upwards, gull-wing-stylee????

if you mean the one directly above it's the new ginetta gran turismo 4 junior gt car for the new series. (see www.ginettacars.com)
The British GT version looks even better.......

the doors are hinged in the only place they can! and do open slightly upwards. Its a nice bit of kit....

[jamesg20]

GT version for anyone interested.....


sorry, i have got a bit of a thing about this car

[pib]

wasn't a fan of the G20 - now I am! At least that looks like a G20. When did they start making hard top versions (GT?) ? Very nice . . . I want a test review! ! ! It must be cramped on the inside but I like that car a lot. With slicks it must be incredible in corners!

[ninjadave]

Looks funky!

I'd be a little worried about the exhaust on the drivers side though - I would expect it to make the drive even hotter than normal!

[jamesg20]

its a cracking looking car. Actually more room on the inside than the g20 as there are no internal fibreglass panels.... Doors are a bit small though for us salad dodgers.....

Its not made as a road car, the roof was added in order that ginetta can go gt racing....
I say it's not made for the road, i should have said ginetta don't market it as a road car but i am choosing to ignore this....

mine will be going through sva for the road. I will post a link up for the build site once its up and running...
