GT5 2008 Ford Focus RS WRC 07

In on dirt-track pictures, here is a 2008 Ford Focus RS WRC 07.

Pictured here at Toscana, Italy.

Piloted by Hirvanen in 2008, the car helped Ford secure second place in Manufacturer's title (but they held first in 2006-07). And I secured Bronze in it.

GT5 2007 Peugeot 207 GTI

Here is a 2007 Peugeot 207 GTI from my GT5 garage.

Painted Blanc Banquise (aka white), it is shown here at  San Galgano Abbey.

This is one of the more common cars available in GT5 and that's the reason I have it -- just to make pictures of a rather common car recently here in Russia (but not necessarily in this modification mostly 5-door versions), not to progress through the game, for which purpose you don't really need it.

The Peugeot 207 GTI is a sports model of the regular Peugeot 207.

Apparently it has the same engine as the Mini.

I wasn't a fan of this then new Peugeot corporate fascia but it has since grown on me.

GT5 Spoon CR-Z

Now featuring a Spoon CR-Z.

Here it is pictured at Ahrweiler - Gate in Championship White.

The Spoon CR-Z is the 2010 Honda CR-Z tuned by Spoon. 

The Honda CR-Z is sometimes described as the world's first hybrid sports car. And Spoon is a Honda tuning specialist shop (and affiliated ? European website here).

Spoon didn't modify the 1496 cc SOHC 4 valve i-VTEC 4 cylinder but they did disassemble it down to the very last bolt and then rebuilt and rebalanced it.

Weight was reduced too.

GT5 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4

A 2008 Lambrghini Gallardo LP 560-4 super car.

The Gallardo is a smaller Lamborghini, the "baby Lamborghini".

It is seen here in Nero Noctis at Ahrweiler - Street. However black is not the best color to shoot cars in GT, I think.

The Gallardo debuted as recently as in 2003.

GT5 2005 Citroen C4 Coupe 2.0 VTS

Here is a 2005 Citroen C4 Coupe 2.0 VTS from my garage in GT5.

Pictured here in Rouge Lucifer at Ahrweiler - Town Square.

This is not one of those cars you must buy to progress through the game but I bought it anyway because I used to like the look of it and there were plenty of them around but they've been disappearing for awhile now.

Also, there is no Citroen C4 in GT6.

 I especially liked the back end of it, including those taillights.

 The 2.0 VTS model is the sportiest C4.

"The sharp-looking, ultimate C4 coupe."

The Citroën C4 appeared as yet another fashion statement for the French automobile manufacturer's C-segment class, replacing the popular Xsara model in 2004.

Sharing its platform and engine with the Peugeot 307, the C4's base body style was a hatchback, but it was also available as either a 5-door sedan or a 3-door coupe. The double chevron brand logo in the front fascia and its unique styling helped create the interesting automotive persona that has traditionally characterized Citroën automobiles. Even the interior of the new C4 featured unique touches, such as a steering wheel with a fixed position center pad and digital meters on the center dash.

The sportiest C4 model in the lineup was the 2.0 VTS coupe. Under its hood was a DOHC inline-4 that produced 178 HP and 151.8 ft-lb of torque. It came mated with to a 5-speed manual transmission that helped the car exhibit a sporty nature. An eye-catching rear spoiler was also added to give it that sharp, rally car look.

And speaking of rallying, the C4 coupe served as the base machine for the company's World Rally Championship (WRC) race car. The team's lead driver Sébastien Loeb, achieved eight wins in 2007 and 11 wins in 2008, securing the driver's championship for both years. Loeb went on to win five championships in a row, becoming the first driver In WRC history to accomplish this feat.

The inline 4 DOHC produces 178 BHP / 21.00 kgfm torque.

GT5 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone

In on-track photos, here is a 1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone in GT5.

Seen here at Madrid Circuit.

The Miura... so named after the famous strain of Spanish fighting bulls reared by one Don Eduardo Miura. 

So fearsome were the  bulls that lesser matadors often refused to face them.

It is also way too expensive in the game at Cr. 15,000,000.

GT5 1991 Acura NSX

And now, in Formula Red, is a 1991 Acura NSX.

It is seen here in Kyoto some place, both day and night.

 The 1991 Acura NSX (same as Honda NSX) is Honda's ultimate road-going sports car.

 The 1991 Acura NSX is a mid-engined, rear-wheel drive coupe.

The Acura's driver compartment was apparently modelled on the F-16 jet fighter's cockpit in some ways.

Also, pre-production models were tested by Formula 1 drivers the late Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima whose recommendations may have resulted in certain modifications.

In Kyoto at night, some other location.
