He is right. A Mustang will have a Mustang interior, but not down to every last perfection.

A ZR1 Corvette will have it down to every last stitch in the interior, while an older, regular Corvette will probably have a Corvette interior equivalent to other racing games that are not as scrupulous from what I gather in the interview.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. Good news.

so they had all these years, and only managed to get 200 fully featured ps3 "premium" cars?

They'll have upscaled ps2 models running alongside true ps3 models. Interesting.

Well from reading Steve's most recent post , it seems the 800 standard cars will not have an interior view. This is very bad news for me. I love using the in car view when racing. I guess I'll only be driving the Premium cars.


As confirmed in a footnote on the Japanese site, the 800 “standard cars” in the game will not have interior view or high/low beam headlights (new video standard cars here, thanks Paskowitz).

Over at GTPlanet, the boards are pretty active over this issue, with no clear consensus. A Twitter interview with KY did nothing to really answer the question, with his answers leading some to believe the interiors for the 800 cars may be similar to the "black" interior view used on the PSP version of the game.

Wow, and the debate continues to rage over there:

The more I read, the more I'm of the opinion that standard cars will get a steering wheel/dashboard view, while the premium cars will the full interior modeling.

This possibly sheds some insight:

"One of the biggest differences is the intricately detailed full interiors of premium cars that go beyond the steering wheel and dashboard of standards."

I am a bit disappointed with the lack of interior views, but I definitely understand.

This game should blow Forza out of the water, but only time will tell. Definitely a collectors edition 1st day purchase for me.
