World Super GT 2 – Nissan R35 GTR Previews

Posted on July 11th, 2009 in rFactor 2

RMT’s Arnold Wong has send the freshly-modelled Nissan R35 GTR race car on its first test run, as usual sporting no high-quality textures or template yet.

Starting with the 2008 season, the R35 GT-R replaced the Z as Nissan’s weapon of choice in the Super GT GT500 class. The car is powered by a 500HP engine and features advanced bodywork modifications as Super GT engineers are giving a lot of freedom in terms of aerodynamic changes.

Successor to World Super GT for GTR 2, World Super GT 2 will bring some of of the most legendary GT cars of the 90s as well as Super GT GT500 class machinery to rFactor 2.

Hum after an another look, i havent noticed the change on the front headlights of the race car comparing to the street car.

It looks good, though the real car got like a hat on the roof.

I would say don’t ever compare the street car with the GT500 car, because they are no where the same.

The headlight unit is basically one off for the GT500 race car compare to the street car unit which you may want to have a third look at.

The roof duct (the hat thing) was an optional part for cockpit ventilation, you may notice they switched to a larger duct in Sepang due to hot weather.

Thanks for the comments.

Aren’t GT500 cars silhouette vehicles? Meaning space frame dressed up as a road car?

Yup, they are.

So writing things like ‘roof/headlights don’t match the road car’ is a bit pointless.
