GT5 1976 Ferrari 512 BB

Another 1976 Ferrari 512 BB today.


This time it is in GT5, painted Oro Chiaro and is pictured at Ahrweiler - Town Square.


Unlike yesterday's Ferrari, this one does make it to the list of the best Ferraris and to the list of about 500 or so best cars so far.


BB stands for Berlinetta Boxer denoting body style.


The Berlinetta Boxer became Ferrari's second (the 365 GT BB was first) mid-engined car available to buy for general public, in the face of initial opposition by Enzo Ferrari himself who at first didn't believe in selling mid-engined sports car to the general public.


929 512s were built in six years, the final year being 1981. The final model was the fuel-injected 512i BB which became the most successful of the series, with  over a 1000 made until 1984. 





Looks like there are three huge fans in there.

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.
