Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 13)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) Mitsubishi Outlander 24G '12

WHY: The past Gran Turismo games featured the old Airtrek crossover but for GT6, I want to see the latest-generation Mitsubishi Outlander just for comparison's sake. Do please, feature it while you can!

2) Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV '12

WHY: Don't forget also the PHEV version because when both of these showed up on GT6, I get the chance to drive both the petrol and the PHEV version of the same car, also for comparison's sake.

3) Mazda Axela Sport 20S Touring '13

WHY: Back in GT5, the first-generation Mazda Axela was featured by I wish GT6 to feature the next-generation model, complete with SKYACTIV Technology and KODO Design. So far, no existing video feature a SKYACTIV Mazda model but I really want GT6 to be the first to feature it. Come on, a Mazda with SKYACTIV Technology needs to have a digital debut.

4) Mitsubishi eK Custom '13

WHY: Never wished a Mitsubishi on this segment but maybe the latest Mitsubishi eK Custom would do. I wonder if this car fare up against any other kei cars in its class in the game? Let's hope that GT6 should feature it so I can compare this to the defunct Suzuki C_rv_ kei car.

5) Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (W222) '13

WHY: There's a new version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class out there and there's also the high-performance S63 AMG launched as well. Hopefully, GT6 should feature the latest S-Class AMG model and that will make me very happy. So far, the only AMG model with the 5.5L V8 BiTurbo engine to be featured on GT6 is the E63 AMG (the facelifted model). Hopefully, we need more of those...

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Take that to Kaz Yamauchi!

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 12)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) Daihatsu Tanto Custom RS '13

WHY: The all new third generation Daihatsu Tanto was recently launched this week and this new version is on a tough battle against the Honda N BOX and the Suzuki Spacia. Even though it's 1km/L less than the Spacia, this new model sells quite well and as of now, it's on the top three best selling cars in Japan, falling behind the Toyota Aqua and the new Honda Fit. The model I'm interested was the Custom version, more importantly the Custom RS version because of its stylish looks and a turbocharged 660cc engine that redefines the KING OF SMALL slogan.



2) Ford Escape Titanium '13

WHY: Possible to call it Escape or Kuga? Don't care which but best to stick with Escape and oh, the EcoBoost engine that powers it provides this crossover with the added power and the added fuel economy it deserves. I sure wanna wish I wanna try this one offroad if GT6 has the chance to give this new Escape a slot on their list.



3) Honda Odyssey Absolute '13

WHY: In the previous installments, the Odyssey we have is a third-generation model but what we really want for a brand new Gran Turismo game is feature the latest installment of the Odyssey minivan. I wanna see how does the new model stacks up against the old one...well sadly, only the third generation Odyssey was featured in the game so...it's less likely to be popped up.



4) Seat Ibiza Cupra '13

WHY: The previous Gran Turismo games only featured the old Type 6L Ibiza but I want GT6 to feature the latest Ibiza Cupra complete with the 1.4 TSi engine which generates 180PS of power. Please GT6, feature the latest Seat Ibiza Cupra in the game!

5) Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG '11

WHY: As of now, the second-generation CLS63 AMG, like any other AMG models with the 5.5L V8 Twin-Turbo engine, remains of the best cars never featured in a video game. Although it attracts huge attention in the motoring press because of its perfect balance of style and performance, so far no video games brave enough to feature it. What's going on with them? But still, GT6, please feature the CLS63 AMG while you can!!!

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 11)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.



Cars like...

1) Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG '13

WHY: Hopefully, GT6 should feature the latest version of the SL65 AMG roadster. This V12-powered roadster delivers more power than its predecessor, although not as powerful as the fabled SL65 AMG Black Series of the 2009 but still, it's worth the fun driving a fast roadster with a big turbocharged engine on it. Come on, this car needs a spot it deserved...

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG

2) Citroen DS5 '11

WHY: The DS5 is the flagship of the Citroen DS range and it is essentially the first ever Citroen car to incorporate the diesel-hybrid powerplant made by PSA Peugeot Citroen. Don't mind about that but that seems lame to us. The DS5 were interested is the one with the THP 200 engine on it but don't be shy, this isn't a racer when we mess this one in some of the finest tracks on Gran Turismo 6. Still, this is worth a nice car to be photographed for in Photo Travels.

Citroen DS5

3) Infiniti Q50 Hybrid Sport '14

While Nissan is still busy making the finishing touches about the V37 Skyline stuff, how about this for a change then? The Infiniti Q50 served as the replacement to the Skyline-based G37 sedan and it's the first to incorporate Infiniti's new naming scheme where all cars start with the Q and all SUVs and crossovers start with the QX. The most interesting Q50 we want to see on the GT6 is the hybrid model which features the same powerplant from the Fuga Hybrid, mated with a double-clutch gearbox rather than the conventional CVTs that you get in most hybrids and amazingly, has more power than the 3.7L model. Who says hybrids can't be so liberating?

Infiniti Q50

4) Bentley Continental GT '11

WHY: So far, the Gran Turismo series only has one Bentley in their list and it's that Speed 8 LMP. For gT6, what we really need is a road-going Bentley and perhaps this new Bentley Continental GT should do the trick. Did you know that in Series 19 opener of Top Gear, James May enlisted WRC driver Kris Meeke to do some rallying on the Bentley Continental GT? Well in that case, please feature it and because this is 4WD, let's hope this is the Bentley that fits with dirt or snow tires to the mix.

Bentley Continental GT

5) Ford Anglia 105E '67

WHY: As seen on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when the Weasley siblings drove their dad's car to fetch Harry Potter and then crashed to the Whomping Willow in an effort to reach Hogwarts. Well, we may not get Weasley's Anglia but the real one, identical to it, should do the trick. Not as magical as the one from Harry Potter but it's worth a collectible like every geek in the world wants one.

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 10)

In a galaxy far far away, just off our backyard, lies Leopaul's Blog; boldly pushing the boundaries of car culture because there's some CARS GT6 SHOULD PUT.

Cars like...

1) Alfa Romeo 4C '13

WHY: The 4C brings Alfa Romeo back to the sportscar race and things are off for a promising start. With the turbocharged engine from the Giulietta, Dry Twin Clutch transmission, and a whole load of cutting edge technology, this Elise-fighter really tries to be a lightweight Italian thoroughbred and I hope GT6 should feature this latest Alfa Romeo sportscar just for the fun of it.



2) Chrysler 300 SRT8 '12

WHY: Back in GT5, the old 300 Hemi C was featured and I am utterly disappointed that Gran Turismo didn't feature the latest model. Hopefully for this new GT6, they should better feature the new 300 SRT8 with the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine on it. Things are looking pretty good for this high-performance version of the flagship Chrysler sedan and if it does get the spotlight, that is worth the swag. Arrgh, if GT6 forgot about the new Chrysler logo and stuck with the old one, I would be very disappointed.



3) Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 '12

WHY: The Challenger SRT8 we had on GT5 had a 6.1L HEMI V8 engine on it but I feel there's a bit less oomph on the old version here so what I want on GT6 is to feature the updated version of the Challenger SRT8 complete with the 6.4L HEMI V8 engine like most present-day SRT8 models had. With added capacity, it adds more power and more fun for this muscle. Come on. 6.4L HEMI, it's not complicated to feature any SRT8 model with the 6.4L HEMI V8 on it. PLEASE!!!



4) Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography '13

WHY: There is a brand new Range Rover out there and if only Gran Turismo should feature the brand new model, it should worth a treat when I take this new Range Rover somewhere on dirt and on snow because when I fit this new model with dirt and snow tires, I want to point out how does the new Range Rover fare from its off-road heritage. Do please, for the love of offroaders, feature the new model but only the one with the 5.0L V8 supercharged engine on it.



5) Nissan Fuga Hybrid '10

WHY: The hybrid-powered Nissan Fuga may be a hybrid but it's also one of the most responsive hybrid cars on the markets today because with this combo, not only it has the power of a V8 engine but also a fuel economy of a compact car. 3.5L V6 hybrid powerplant with the one-motor twin-clutch system makes this hybrid saloon behave like a normal saloon car without all the drama. I bet this can make a wonderful addition to the GT6 car roster.



The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 9)

Everyone knows that more and more car gamers everywhere are willing to prefer the upcoming Gran Turismo 6, coming this winter exclusively on the Playstation3 console, than the upcoming Forza Motorsport 5, coming this autumn exclusively on the new XBOX One console. However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Toyota Crown Majesta '13

WHY: There's a brand new Majesta recently released this month. The new model is now a hybrid-only model with the 3.5L V6 hybrid powerplant inherited from the Lexus GS450h while it has the CVT gearbox with 8-speed inherited from the Lexus LS600h. When in AT, it doesn't need to change gears but in MT, shifts from 1 to 8. It maybe a drastic change from the previous models but I wonder if this new flagship deserves a spot in GT6? I sure hope so because the Gran Turismo franchise has some of the hybrids available...

2) Honda Fit RS '13

WHY: There is already a brand new Honda Fit released earlier this month and the Fit we're interested in was the RS model with the 6-speed manual gearbox. Please feature the latest generation Honda Fit on GT6 because us, Honda fans, want to know what is like to be driven virtually.

3) Land Rover Range Rover Sport '13

WHY: Annoyingly, how come there's only one Land Rover model in the Gran Turismo franchise? Come on, we're not interested in the Range Stormer concept featured. We all need Range Rovers! Those Range Rovers, when you place them in dirt or snow, love their offroad abilities even in luxury proportions and the Range Rover we want to see on GT6 is none other than the all new Range Rover Sport. The new model really deserved the name because not only it's good offroad but it's a track weapon for its size.

4) Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale '11

WHY: The MC Stradale is the hardcore version of the Maserati GranTurismo which features an uprated V8 engine, enhanced suspension, lightweight bodywork, and the looks that was inspired from the MC GT3 racer. This road-legal racer deserves a spot to be featured on GT6 because having the standard GranTurismo isn't enough.

5) Hyundai Veloster Turbo '12

WHY: Gran Turismo should better need some more Korean cars on the game because having the Tiburon and the Spirra is not worth it. Maybe this Veloster Turbo would do. It may have a GDI turbo engine that develops over 200 horses but can the Veloster Turbo land on GT6 to please Korean car enthusiasts? I sure hope so because I want more Korean cars to be featured on GT6. Please, do it for the Koreans!

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 8)

Everyone knows that more and more car gamers everywhere are willing to prefer the upcoming Gran Turismo 6, coming this winter exclusively on the Playstation3 console, than the upcoming Forza Motorsport 5, coming this autumn exclusively on the new XBOX One console. However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Ford F-150 SVT Raptor '10

WHY: The SVT-improved version of the F-150 truck, called the Raptor, is every off-roader's favorite and I do hope this high-performance truck will be featured on this game. If it does, it acts beautifully on dirt and snow courses.

2) Ferrari FF '11

WHY: This is the first ever Ferrari that has four seats and a very clever four wheel drive system that acts differently unlike any other 4WD cars ever driven. This should add some interesting twists on GT6 once this eccentric creation was featured so do please make it happen.

3) Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 '12

WHY: The ZL1 is the performance-oriented version of the Camaro which has a very powerful V8 engine combined with wide-range of gizmos that makes it a track-focused muscle car that was once honed at the Nurburgring. This should make a perfect rival to the 2013 Shelby GT500 if this car appears on GT6. Of course, with the 2013MY GT500 coming on GT6, I hope the ZL1 should come just for the sake of rivalry.

4) Shelby GT500 '67

WHY: The classic GT500 muscle car became famous for its appearance in the car heist movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" starring Nicholas Cage. Come on, we're a bunch of movie buffs here so do please feature Eleanor on GT6 because...WE KINDLY DO MEAN IT so please "Go Baby Go".

5) Lexus GS350 F-Sport '12

WHY: The latest Lexus GS is the first to incorporate Lexus' signature spindle grille and I sure hope this model should have a spot in the GT6 car list but what I was hoping for is the one with the F-Sport trim. When added, I just want to compare this to its Toyota Aristo predecessor.

Cars GT6 Should Put (Volume 7)

Everyone knows that more and more car gamers everywhere are willing to prefer the upcoming Gran Turismo 6, coming this winter exclusively on the Playstation3 console, than the upcoming Forza Motorsport 5, coming this autumn exclusively on the new XBOX One console. However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Lamborghini Veneno '13

WHY: Built to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary, the Lamborghini Veneno is probably one of the best Lamborghinis ever made and of course, unlike the one-off Lamborghini Aventador J as seen on the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, only three units of these 50th anniversary special machines were made and shortly before its announcement, all three units had been accounted for. Let's hope that this million euro Lambo had a spot on GT6. Hoping but not expecting...

2) Volvo S60 R-Design '13

WHY: There should be a latest-generation S60 in GT6 because in the previous GT5, only the first-generation S60 was offered so PD, don't hesitate to add the latest S60 on this game.

3) Subaru Forester 2.0 XT '12

WHY: The fourth-generation Subaru Forester. In the Japanese commercial titled "Forester Live", the latest Forester traveled around the world to check out its true capabilities. It's still a work in progress for the whole "Forester Live" but hopefully, GT6 should feature this new model, probably the one with the FA20 DIT engine on it. If that showed up, it would be FORESTER LIVE GT6 STYLE so we don't need to go around the world to try out the newest Forester.

4) Kia K3 KOUP '13

WHY: Gran Turismo 6 should feature Kia Motors for the first time and if that came to fruition, how about the all new Kia K3 KOUP? For the new model, it's now turbocharged and it tries to be a better front-wheel drive sportscar. So, how about it Yamauchi-sensei? Can you please get a license to feature Kia Motors in Gran Turismo 6?

5) Jaguar F-Type S '13

WHY: 5 decades since the E-Type, Jaguar launched its modern-day successor to the legendary machine called the F-Type and this is the first time Jaguar made a sportscar that behaves beautifully like what its predecessor does. I just hope that Gran Turismo 6 should feature this timeless modern-day beauty here because when the F-Type does showed up, it would look great especially on Photo Travels.

However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Nissan Cefiro '89

WHY: The first-generation Nissan Cefiro midsize sedan is the kind of Cefiro we liked because unlike the second and the final generation, which runs on front wheels, this first generation is rear-wheel drive. Some say, it has a Silvia platform on it but whatever, the first-generation Cefiro was favored by tuners and drifters many. It would be nice to have this RWD Cefiro deserved a spot on GT6.




2) BMW 435i '13

WHY: The BMW 4-Series...why did BMW call this for the coupe version of the current 3-Series? Is it a bad move? I don't know but apart from its revolting looks, it's still worth being a wolf in sheep's clothing to me. Following the footsteps from the outgoing 3-Series Coupe models, the new 4-Series is worth an everyday car balanced with the required performance that will get you from Point A to Point B. If GT6 featured this, would this be worth the wait?



3) McLaren P1 '13

WHY: The McLaren P1 is a hybrid-engine wielding supercar that redefines the history of McLaren. Using the uprated 3.8L V8 turbo engine from the MP4-12C and the similar KERS technology from Formula One, over 903bhp of power were produced and that's more powerful than the McLaren F1. It's faster as well. I sure hope that the McLaren P1 hybrid hypercar has a spot on GT6, regardless of what would the promise be...

4) Audi R8 V10 Plus '12

WHY: A new Gran Turismo game deserves a new Audi R8 and this facelifted version should do the trick. The plus version of the Audi R8 V10 adds some punch to the R8 V10 without all the drama.

5) Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series '13

WHY: This limited edition model promises to be the most hardcore SLS ever made and hey! The Black Series SLS does inspired by the SLS GT3 racecar. I sure hope this high-powered version will show up in GT6 no matter what.

The results please? So, if Polyphony's still on the rethinking process whether these cars I've mentioned will be featured on Gran Turismo 6, whether in game or as a DLC, you can't say that I didn't had a bit to do with that.

However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Toyota Alphard 350S '11

WHY: For an added mix, why not have GT6 feature minivans? I mean, back in GT4, they did featured a third-generation Honda Odyssey back then so, how about the other JDM minivans? How about adding the ultra-luxurious Toyota Alphard MPV? It may not be a good car to drive on GT6 but with such luxurious looks, it fits well in a middle of Photo Travel. With numerous owners modified this from top to bottom, I wonder if we can do the same thing if this car reaches GT6.



2) Toyota Vellfire 3.5Z '11

WHY: Although it may have the same specs as the Alphard, the Vellfire looks visually different because it is essentially an Alphard with some aggressive credentials. Here's a thing; while the Alphard is sold at Toyopet dealerships, the Vellfire is sold at Netz dealerships but annoyingly, the Vellfire is commonly smuggled in Asean countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. That begs the question, if the Vellfire's too popular for its own good, why not feature it on Gran Turismo 6 for a change?



3) Chevrolet Impala '67

WHY: A black 1967 Chevrolet Impala muscle car served as a hero car for Sam and Dean in the hit TV series SUPERNATURAL. I hope this car will be featured on GT6 so Yamauchi-sensei, please do it for the sake of Supernatural fans.



4) Ariel Atom V8 '11

WHY: With the power-to-weight ratio of almost a thousand horsepower per ton, this V8-powered Atom is twice as powerful as a Bugatti Veyron or an Enzo Ferrari. So powerful, it can even rip your face off. When this car debuted on Top Gear Season 16, it set the fastest lap of 1:15.8. For a track-day car like this, I sure hope this racer will have a spot on Gran Turismo 6 soon.



5) Pagani Huayra '11

WHY: This is the replacement for the decade-old Zonda hypercar and this latest Pagani hypercar caused a stir in the motoring world since its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. When it made a debut in Top Gear Season 19, it became the fastest car to lap round the Top Gear track in 1:13.8, beating the all-time favorite Ariel Atom V8. I believe that this new Pagani will have a spot on GT6 because...this is what we Gran Turismo fans want.

However, despite the 1200-car lineup, there are some cars GT6 should put...

Cars like...

1) Ferrari LaFerrari '13

WHY: It's so stupid for Ferrari to call this limited edition hypercar "LaFerrari" because what would they think of when they show off their...FERRARI LAFERRARI? It's like repeating the name over and over but anyway, despite the stupid naming, the LaFerrari is probably the most powerful Ferrari ever made, superseding the F12berlinetta because with the same V12 as seen on the F12 plus a clever KERS system as seen on Formula One cars, over nine hundred horsepower are developed, making this ultra-rare Ferrari a force to be reckoned with. I'd expect this to be better than the rumored P4/5 if I'm honest.

2) Toyota TS030 Hybrid '12

WHY: Not sure about this hybrid-engine wielding LMP but I'm sure a lot of people are begging to have Toyota's hybrid-powered LMP to be on that game. While it may not be a proper Le Mans fighter but in a middle of 6 HOUR races such as Sao Paulo, Shanghai, and Fuji, the TS030 stands out. Do we really want to see the TS030 on GT6? Let's hope...

3) Ford Fiesta ST '13

WHY: Gran Turismo needs a Ford Fiesta right now and I think this latest incarnation of the hot Ford Fiesta ST should do the trick. It may have the same 1.6L engine as the rivals from France have one but it's less powerful. Despite less powerful, the Fiesta ST's handling were superb. I just want GT6 to feature this fun little Fiesta because when the 208 GTi, new Renaultsport Clio, and this showed up, I want to recreate the Top Gear episode with those.

4) Caterham R500 '08

WHY: For me, I don't think I'm going to like the KTM X-BOW because for me, the Caterham R500 is the ideal track-day car ever made with its weapons-grade material and the fact that it has a stronger power-to-weight ratio than the Bugatti Veyron. In 2008, it was Top Gear's Car of the Year.

5) Lamborghini Sesto Elemento '10

WHY: Sesto Elemento is Italian for Sixth Element and if you look at the periodic table, it's carbon. It's a carbon wrapped Lambo track car based on the Gallardo that looks insane in design and driving. I just want the Sesto Elemento to be in GT6 because this is probably one of the most insane Lamborghinis to drive and I want one.
