Michelli GT Discussion Thread

[Wastelander (Suzuki)]

 

 

 

 

Am I the only one who's gonna go for stock roadster instead of rally?

I don't think you know what the definition of roadster is...

 

Idk, just a normal nom racing car !!

 

Granted most of the Michelli GT is Lancia Fulvia, so the fact it's RWD kinda bugs me...

 

Incorrect. The Michelli GT is clearly 90% Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, which is why it's RWD. I love Lancia Fulvia, but this car is inarguably Alfa Romeo.

 

The only reason I think the price is steep is because I'm buying three at a minimum.

 

Wrong it's both, Rear part and the Interior are mostly Lancia Fulvia, not to bring up the sound, no I4 of that period sounds quite like that, so it's clear they looked at a more Fulvia-ish V4 sound, The Front and Roofline are mostly Alfa, but main one problem with your defense of the price point:

This one is near mint and fully restored and is priced at roughly 75k USD.

 

1.2 Million is the kinda money I'd see fitting for a Shelby A/C Cobra 427 S/C, not a Giulia Sprint GT and damn sure not a Fulvia.

That's the one I want to make mine look like. All ive seen so far are rally cars.

You can pretend it looks like a Fulvia if you want, but you're simply wrong.

 

The Michelli GT dash is clearly based on the Alfa Romeo (Tipo 105/115) 1750/late Junior twin binnacle dashboard.

(See here for reference: https://www.alfaholics.com/parts/105-series/interior-trim/coupe/left-hand-drive-gt-dashboard/)

 

The rear is also far more Giulia Sprint GT than it is Fulvia. The front is clearly inspired by the early Stepnose Tipo 105. Again, not a Fulvia.

 

As for the cost, I didn't defend the price: it's as ridiculous as your argument that the Michelli GT is more Fulvia than Alfa Romeo. That said, the Autodelta (Alfa Romeo motorsport division) prepared Sprint GT race cars were re-bodied in aluminum, among other equally extensive mechanical and performance upgrades, for European Touring Car Champion series races. In order to compete, Alfa Romeo had to homologate the car. So, both 1600 and 1300 Junior models were produced in limited quantities to satisfy FIA requirements, meaning a real GTA is signficantly more expensive than the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce model you used as a price point reference.

 

As you can see, with a little bit of research, authentic GTA Alfa Romeos are north of a half million dollars:

The car is blatantly inspired by the original Giorgetto Giugiaro designed Bertone Coupe: the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT.

What engine have they stuck in this?

Damn, they really set the bar up with this car, even the engine is very well detailed!

(Well, at least its longitudinal like the real deal)

[UwotEG]

What can you add to the grille of this car? It looks slightly bland without a badge there IMO...

The rally lights, it seems

[Garland137]

 

Nice car, but why is it more expensive than classic Lamborghinis and Ferraris? The world may never know.

So I'm not the only one bugged by the price.

 

I mean FFS, IRL I can find and Import even the much rarer Fulvia 1.6 HF Rallye into the U.S for less then 25K USD, a 1.3 S would set you back about 15K from what I understand, Fulvia's are really insultingly cheap to buy, The Alfa Romeo it has in it however I'm not sure, but all in all, it shouldn't be a cool million to own. (Still buying one)

When have R*'s prices ever made sense?

[Scottiedog123]

So have they got the size/scale of this car correct? I hope so, it really needs to be quite small, no good being the size of an aircraft carrier,or overflod tyrant. The issi looks tiny, can't wait to see that.

[AUScowboy]

Does this have the off road traction loss stat? Would be cool if it moved at the pace of the Retinue to give it some decent competition..

2013 and 2014:

 

-Most expensive car costed a million(Adder);

-Most expensive motorbike costed 93k(Innovation);

-Most car classes were evenly matched, there was no "meta car" being overly expensive;

-Most expensive Apartment costed 500k;

 

Prices started to go overboard in 2015.

I added a grille from an early SAAB 99:

But we were talking about game prices vs. the prices of their IRL counterparts. If R* followed IRL prices for their cars, most cars would be a lot cheaper, while a few would be far pricier. The Adder would be more like $1.6 million, the Stinger GT would be $12 million, and god only knows what a Z-Type would go for today.

Yeah I see a lot of Alfa Romeo GTA.

And let me guess? This car also comes stock with HID headlights?

That would actually really disappiont me. Hate it that the Ellie has literally LED headlights.

[Cerium]

Hey look they released the Warrener/Savestra/Retinue again

 

Exactly my thought! For me, all these 4 cars look the same but I guess I'm just not fond of the boxy car look at all. Plus, without an insignia on the grille, the car looks russian as someone else mentioned. Nah, doesn't really like look a luxurious italian classic to me.

You clearly know nothing about classic cars.

[soapie]

I might be insane for thinking this but I think if this car had an estate/sedan version, they would look pretty good.

[Vill3m]

I had a chance to try dripfeed vehicles on a FiveM server. Retinue and Savestra look huge next to Michelli:

This post caused me physical pain.

[xDatxJunkyx]

That Chubrek looks amazing... at first I was kinda put off, but the way that one looks makes me wanna buy it.

 

Too bad those white walls are locked to benny's for some idiotic reason. Or are they not?

 

If you could, what year is that lada? Eighties? hopefully something older, though I doubt it.

Roofline is a little bit higher, otherwise the same proportions:
