I've met the guy that design this concept (different guy than the one that was in the vid). He told me pretty interesting stuff.

Those wheels aren't really OEM... BUT technically you can get em (not cheap nor light at all).

Anything that can be shared?

PS: now I just look at the picture again, another thing that was changed *in the wrong way IMO* is the hood. In the concept, there is a distinctive separation between the front bumper and the hood so that the headlight is enclosed by the bumper. In production car that was not the case, and some people love/hate that design cue...

You didn't notice the hood design was different? That was one if first thing I noticed when I saw the final ver

Now if ONLY the car sounded this GOOD in the real game.... If this is GT6 car sound effect, then I think GT6 has won me over.

Speaking of GT6... I dont think this concept car was being recorded using GT5 at all so the thread title may be a little misleading, but I could be wrong.

That change was probably due more to ease repair/replacement of the headlights than anything else... looking at the concept, you'd have to remove the headlights through the inside...
