Quote from Blas89 :Oh No a new car and its FWD OH NO!!! FOR CHRIST SAKE!!1 WHY WHYYYYYYYYY...

Ehh ffs would you prefer another open wheeler RWD ' around 160 hp ?
I cant wait to see what the interior will look like in game.



with DSG Gear Box in LFS??
Rofl sorry, forgot to add the beautiful tags. [/sarcasm]

Im pretty glad that there is a new car in lfs, I was annoying the little fellows saying "its fwd meh"
the new 2.0 tsi or TDI will be nice to replase XFG
More FWD !!!!
Quote from ssm :YES YES YES YES. Next step: Renault Clio V6. would that be possible Victor?

You probably won't even be able to drive it. As all you can have is the xfg, xrg and bfm
Quote from Nemox :Oh come on girls.. there are 5 FWD cars in lfs out of 20, you'll survive..
Be happy there is a new car coming to LFS and appreciate the effort the devs are making to make this happen.. don't act like idiots just cause BMW hasn't found it's way into lfs yet.. and furthermore: I'm glad it hasn't..

Well BMW has sort of made it in. With the BF1 and FBM. But they aren't road cars, so . And please don't take out XFG, it's my favourite car !

Hopefully the interior won't be as bland as that picture that was posted.
I dont understand what all the fuss is about if anything its a little disappointing
Great news IMO. Any addition is a good addition
Quote from andybarsblade :I dont understand what all the fuss is about if anything its a little disappointing

Fair enough it's new content, but I have to agree. It's yet another 2 door, with similar power to 3 cars we already have.

What we could do with is some sort of RWD 4 door that has something other than a 4 cylinder engine.

Either way, it will be interesting to see how the devs make it look and drive compared to the real thing.
More free addon content for LFS?, yeah, well dissapointing....

Look at the bigger picture, how many people is the inclusion of another real life car to LFS going to attract?, quite a few I imagine, we don't have ANY real life tin tops currently.

Just because it's not a car for you, doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
you have pm danowat
Me have nooo pm
Aren't there some hotlappers going to Leipzig? You can't say no to a free Scirocco
great news!

but it made me angry... about two years ago I offered the devs to include a race version of Skoda Octavia, I got permisson from the factory, but they said no... More years back I offered them a real life racetrack for free (the one I used to work at), even got them very accurate GPS data of the track that one very known team (very successful in 24h of LeMans) made during testing there, but again - no...

I really don't want to brag here, but I was the deputy sport director at the second largest racetrack in our country, now I work at the ACCR (the body that has the sport authority in our country), got licenses for Clerk of the course and sporting steward for both cars and bikes, for bikes even a FIM license and just now I'm part of the international Jury at MotoGP in Brno...
I got a very direct access to most resources (drivers, riders, factories, track owners, etc.) directy related to motorsport, but the devs just ignore me, if they wanted I could bring a lot to LFS, I tried, but with no effect...

what am I doing wrong? this really took away my motivation to do anything more in this field for LFS...

My guess is it has to do with money and resources. This deal is a publicity stunt for Volkswagen (they even give away a free car) so i think they will receive money for this from their marketing department. Also it's says their importing their car in LFS, so it probably doesn't have to be created from scratch which saves a lot of time. Free content can't compete with that

1 free car and 1 track wow they need to include it.
Quote from mutt107 :1 free car and 1 track wow they need to include it.

I guess its too late now... the track has just recently been made into rF and the owners lost interest in having it in LFS... about the car, I don't know, I could ask, but dunno why I shoud...
Quote from Chaos :about the car, I don't know, I could ask, but dunno why I shoud...

Id save your breath
Quote from Quint999 :Is this going to be a replacement Demo car ?

If this is some sort of promotional deal for VW, then wouldnt they want it open to all, or do they just need a special version for Leizpeg and other promo events ?

The promodeal is at the gamesconvention. I think they can affort the S2 licence (if LFS is gonna be used over there, it could be a specialised version)
Wow, nice car, my dad has a volkswagen too.
Not a Scirocco tho, just a small Polo 1.6, lol.

Also.. i'm wondering, what if Live for Speed had an event like this. ( My game usually had these events and it worked really well on a small community ).


Everyone in the forums gets the opportunity to model a concept car in 3ds max.
I know not everybody knows how to use 3ds max, but i'm sure there are enough people around here who do.
First, there would be a 'Help' thread or something, where the modellers can find information about the models, like, the polycount limits, etc. and the way the cars should be modelled ( Half cars, so you can mirror them, seperate models for the interiors, wheels, steeringwheel, etc. )

If there would be a new section for the 'Concept Car Event', people who are working on a concept car for Live For Speed, could start a new thread, and post updates of their car models there.
Then the community will be able to post comments & critics and suggestions, so the modellers can keep improving their cars.

When the event ends, there will be a lineup of renders/screenshots of the user-made concept cars, and the community gets to vote which one would be the best in Live for Speed.

Just thinking..
