LEU 153 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 Aside from the headlights there isn't much else in common. I think it may be a mixture of that car and the Nissan GTR, I think it has the body lines of the GTR and the front end of the 458. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ku Zi Mu 1194 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 If that's the case, shame on R* because those two cars look way better than that car on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEU 153 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 If that's the case, shame on R* because those two cars look way better than that car on their own. If they take real cars and put them in the game I'm sure they have to change them a little to avoid legal issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gmt 60 Report post Posted January 15, 2013 I think there's also a lot of the Corvette C7 that was just revealed at the NAIAS in the red car... at least more of a C7 than a 458 Italia... I know the final C7 is younger than the red car and the early concept of the C7 was seen in Transformers and quite different, but who knows how many design studies have leaked into the interwebs during production that R* could have seen gathering resources for the vehicle creation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuomaZ 41 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 I agree it has a bit of a C7 look. But the C7 was unveiled after the red car screenshot. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tj1987 35 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 Hey everybody! Do you all remember that blue mystery car from trailer 1's chase scene?! That car has heavy inspiration from the Moroccan "Laraki" I found this myself, cause my Dad, who's Moroccan, told me about some car brand named Laraki a few years back, and I just came back from the Phili auto show and saw some car called Frisko or something like that, and it reminded me of the Laraki!!! So I searched up the Laraki and realized there was a strong resemblance to that car from trailer 1 and not the Frisko thing!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It could potentially be the inspiration for the car, I don't know for sure. Model: Laraki Borac V12 Coup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 a mercedes benz sl The car in the pic looks different to any Mercedes I know about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieMilne 489 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 well its pretty common knowledge that the feltzer was made to resemble mercedes http://gta.wikia.com/Feltzer << trivia section states a feltzer was spotted at the exact time the blue car is on screen. "In GTA IV, the Benefactor Feltzer is a luxury-sports convertible and is based on a fifth generation Mercedes-Benz SL with the rear based on Second and Third Generation Mercedes-Benz SLK" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackSox9 448 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 Notice how the Headlights on the Mercedes are more round, compared to the more elongated ones on this 'Blue Car'. The entire front of the car looks somewhat different to a Mercedes SL, or the Feltzer seen in GTA lV. That's just my opinion but. No facts. Edit. I could be wrong, because I just found a Picture of a Mercedes SL that has elongated headlights, and looks very similar to this one. My bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieMilne 489 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 i identified it as a mercedes and a new model of the feltzer seen in gta iv, the first time i saw the trailer. that's why i was wondering why the two of you were questioning what the blue car was like a year and a bit after it was first released lol. noticing our own website lists it as an updated convertible sentinel. i'd have to say was also wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I jumped to conclusions without really looking up more information about the car. My fault I didn't do some research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieMilne 489 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 the blue car that gets hit our site has it listed as a two door version of the Cognoscenti from IV, with its influences being the bentley contiental gt estate. http://www.igta5.com/vehicles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
