I have played almost every release of the Gran Turismo franchise since the original PlayStation was out and I have driven many cars over the years. However, the one car that always drew my attention was the Pagani Zonda C12 from Gran Turismo 3. It was extremely quick, very aggressive-looking and also very gorgeous at the same time - I always picked it. What is your favorite car from the Gran Turismo Franchise and why?
I would have to go with the Ferrari Dino 246 GT 1971, being my favorite car because it has that retro look, and it has a all aluminium body as well. This car I believe is in the Grand Turismo 6 game- check out a real Ferrari Dino going for a ride below !
For me, it would be the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. It just has the right amount of body roll to make sliding into corners and accelerating out with 4-wheel-drive so satisfying. I utterly love it.
This is easy, the Escudo has to be my all time favorite. I fell in love with it in GT2 and I'm still racing it in GT6. With two engines and all-wheel drive, Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version will remain the best car in Gran Turismo franchise.
As for me it's Nissan's GT-R V Spec (R33) since '97. I don't really know why but I am biased for the Japanese made cars not only for their speed but durability as well. I have driven all nippon cars before and they never broke down. Virtually in the games, I always win with this Nissan thing.
Japanese tuners are absolutely awesome. They are the primary reason an aftermarket parts industry even exist. Without them, we would be stuck with buying modified parts from official car dealerships for exorbitant prices.
I also like the Lotus cars as well - I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the design of their cars or some other unknown quality but I find myself always buying at least one Lotus car.
There are no shortages of Ferraris in Gran Turismo 6, but it’s the roaring FXX that stands out for me. It’s blazing fast, handles like a dream and looks like a rocket on wheels - this is one car you’ll want to take for a spin, and you’ll be sure to be lifting plenty of trophies with it too.
