Hello, I'm in the comments because I want to be. Anyway, blah blah blah; read the description. BLAH BLAH. Really, that's where I like to talk in the nitty gritty. Sure, I could say this stuff at the end of the video, but I don't even know if many people would watch that.
The FTOs in GT6 are part of 100+ standard cars that were given exterior updates, some more major than others. There's updated cars like the Ford Escort WRC and Peugeot 905 Race Car that were given minor changes. I don't know what exactly is with the more detailed ones, but I think PD was just updating the cars as a means of making up for adding the PS2 cars in the first place. In retrospect, I would've preferred if they never bothered with porting all of those PS2 cars in the first place and just focused on making these other cars into the same model quality as the other premium cars.
Funny side story - my first exposure to the FTO as a kid was the original Gran Turismo, both License test B-6 and sometimes as a Sunday Cup purchase. Always thought it was such a neat looking, quirky little car that sounded cool and had an even cooler LM version. I'd pick it up sometimes in the next few GT games, and always thought it'd be cool to see one someday, living over in the States where it was never made or sold. Fast forward about twenty years and I just registered one just like at 0:18 , a silver '95 GPX that I imported from Japan. Neat how a little part of my childhood came true. Thanks for putting together a video like this so we can come back and visit this neat, underrated little thing.
I'd consider this car one of the best handling FWD's IMO. In fact, when I fully tuned the thing (with a stock exhaust, it just sounds cool, and also has a stage 3 NA tune instead of adding a turbo, I like it more rev-happy and less torquey) + got the tune from the Mad FinnTuners, it felt like it was just the FWD car for me. The car lapped like 1:30.200's in Trial Mountain. The fastest FWD I've ever had is the SRT-4, lapping Trial Mountain at 1:29.???. Both of them used R3 tyres.
@@KingLich451 No, I mean the free downloads I found just game me an iso file in a folder. I had no way of playing that, there was no single .exe file that indicated a proper installation. I think I rather just buy it (even though I already bought the PS2 version, grrrrrrrr).
It's funny that you referred to TOCA World Touring Cars by its title outside of North America, as opposed to its American title, Jarrett & Labonte Stock Car Racing. 😑😐🤷🤦
I have my reasons for that Randy. The North American title never made sense to me, the game is about Touring Car racing. There's no NASCAR in sight, the closest we get to it is a Ford Taurus in the game, but it looks nor drives anything like a Gen 4 Stock Car.

Its cool that in GT6, The FTOs have detailed exterior. I guess the car was planned to be premium but wasn't the case.

The car of all cars, love every single frame of it. Slick handling, good acceleration, decent tuning options. Pure vehicular soul.
That Forza 4 sound was perfect

The Mitsubishi FTO LM Race Car in Gran Turismo 4 is a beast.
It's great, but I prefer the Gran Turismo 3 version.
@@RandomCarGuy17 I love the FTO LM from GT1, I find it amazing especially green colour
@@MsSirAndy Indeed, greenish a great color on the LM. I just like the GT3 version because it looks more aggressive and has more colors.
@@MsSirAndy me too, castrol livery looks gorgeous
Nic video man!
The FTO was my facourite starter car in GT1
That sweet 2L V6 ;-)
They should bring this and the 4th gen Eclipse into Forza Horizon 4.
I would love to see them bring the FTO back, but we'll see.
@@RandomCarGuy17 they’re going to bring it back in fh5, it was in a file leak for cars to be added in the past few days
@@billobong9792 Yup, I know already.
I love this channel. You always post great content.
It’s finally going to make a debut in the horizon series
nice to see gran turismo 5 here
oh and Juiced, too. You can also play that in pc, if the emulator is too slow
@@KingLich451 I tried downloading and couldn't get it to work.
@@RandomCarGuy17 yeah, some games are finicky to run, i look at pcgamingwiki before i runn old games

Yes, it was so much work.
