redrabbit348 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Ill never forget it, I was at a car meet back in the early days of GTA online and I brought my futo. A guy pulled up next to me in a futo and we wanted to drag race. Both cars were fully modded to the max and I wasn't that great at launches but not bad either. When we took off he quickly pulled ahead and beat me by a car length. I couldn't understand why he had done it until he said he had the Futo GT. What the hell was that? He said there was a little badge on the grille and sure enough when I looked there was a GT logo on his and not mine. This was crazy! I had to find one, after looking for a while I talked to him again and said they mostly spawn in red and black paint schemes. After being told this information, I narrowed my search and found a GT. While I didn't find much performance difference, it was worth it to know my Futo was special and I was one of the few people that knew it. However, Rockstar for some reason felt the need to get rid of this on next gen and now there is no ordinary Futo. Now all the cars are the GT variant and there are no ordinary Futo's. Why did rockstar do this? Does anyone else remember this? I know for a FACT this was real, I remember going through the process of finding a real GT. If you look on your Futo today, you will see the GT badge. It is very small, you need to be in a well lit area to see it. Maybe use a sniper rifle. Just thought id make a nostalgia post! UPDATE: I HAVE PROOF Here is a photo of a Futo, pre-next gen. as you can see no GT badge! Then as a comparison, here is the GT version!

M*A*R*I*N*A Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Show me the game data thats proves there was a futo2. What GT badge? I don't know where you're referring to... OT- Look at those potato graphics of old-gen In GTAIV there was definitely a GT version (albeit used extras within the vehicle model) as well as a regular futo, still the same vehicle tho.

MGgames100 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 GT badge gets added when there is stock spoiler is present. It's just a car component. It's still the same car. A lot of cars have something like that i.e. Stratum. As for you losing the race - most likely lag.

jyssys Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm near sighted, so you're gonna have to point out to me where the GT badge is on the black car you posted.

kenmy13999 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 He could just have a little better start than you, one drag test really isn't enough to determine if a car is faster Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/885710-anybody-remember-when-there-were-two-versions-of-the-futo/#findComment-1069525649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedinhuh Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This game never had a separte version of the Futo called Futo GT, just like GTA IV, it was only a cosmetic variant of the model used by gang members. The "GT" badge gets applied to the grille if you add a spoiler on it, thats all. BTW, in IV the GT wasn't any faster than regular counterpart, it did looked rad though! Your friend beat you either because of lag, faulty controller on your end or he used mid-drive speed boost(also knows as downshifting/double clutch).

Great Britain Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Have a read, and skip to the "GT Variant" Section. http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Futo Point is, it does exist. It is similar and uses the same model and handling lines and more or less, it is a matter of having cosmetic variants of the same model to some extent. However it is a different variant in its own self is what the OP thinks he saw. Not sure if the regular Futo In V was the only variant that was available in last gen, or it can be modified to look like the GT from IV in the next gen. Maybe the two variants did exist in old-gen, maybe not. Definitely existed in IV.

redrabbit348 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) To clarify, I was NOT saying it is faster. I just thought it was cool and to those saying the GT badge is added with a spoiler: that is false. If you go right now on next gen and find a futo, it will have a GT badge. All of them do. All I was saying was that it was cool that there were two variants. There is no difference other than the badge and the other futo that beat me in the race was just better than me. The only reason I said that story was to show that I thought it made a difference and that was how I discovered it.

Rewdalf Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 To all you nearsighted folks out there The same ones who claim that my font size is unreadable... I tend to notice a lot of little stuff like this on cars. Seems like it's just been tacked on to an existing modification to the car that it spawns with, i.e. the rear spoiler. To be fair, even back in GTAIV when the "GT" was considered a variation it didn't mean the car performed any differently. It's literally the same car with addons.

xInfamousRYANx Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Futo GT badge appears on your car but not others because the game doesnt render other cars you arent using in as high LOD. Find 2 street futos the same mods side by side and notw they both dont say gt until you get in one Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/885710-anybody-remember-when-there-were-two-versions-of-the-futo/#findComment-1069528975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrabbit348 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) So I started to believe you guys today about there being a normal futo in the game so I hopped on today and there were no normal futos. Only GT's. To say that it is a variant that spawns with the spoiler is false. Trust me pretty much all I do in this game anymore is find weird quirks on cars, I just did an entire video on the stratum and its many spawning variants. The futo only spawns as the futo GT now. That is a fact, there is no regular Futo. Go and look online on next gen, you can only find GTs. To those of you who are saying "they are the same performance wise why does it matter" I get it. I understand, I hear you loud and clear. All I am saying is I find it awesome there used to be two variants of the car, I love looking for things like that in the game. Now, if someone can find a picture of a regular Futo online NEXT GEN, please post it here and tell me how you got it! Id love to have one in my garage.

It was something done on last gen to save resources. There have never "Technically" been 2 futos. The GT Badge was only shown on your own futo as the lower poly count version you got in traffic or someone elses wpuld not load the the high poly model unless you were in it Blondude 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/885710-anybody-remember-when-there-were-two-versions-of-the-futo/#findComment-1069529212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malibu Club Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Any Futo is a good Futo in my eyes.
