Hey, guys! So just to clarify, this video is a compilation of 4 previous videos - ‘Gran Turismo Meme Cars Explained’, ‘Gran Turismo’s Most Infamous Cars’, ‘The Cars You Only Know BECAUSE of Gran Turismo’, and ‘The Icons of Gran Turismo’.

I decided to compile all of them into one video to create a sort of Gran Turismo car encyclopaedia. This is the reason why I never talked about the same car in multiple videos, even though I got many requests to do so – the Pikes Peak Escudo, for example, could’ve featured in all of these videos if I wanted it to.

Although this video appears to mark the end of the ‘Memorable Cars’ series, this doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop making videos covering certain types of cars in Gran Turismo. I’ve received many comments from people wanting me to talk about specific models that have some importance in Gran Turismo, and I have plenty more of my own picks as well.

4 videos over the span of a year is hardly a regular series, but these have been some of favourite ones to put together. So, although I’m taking a break from the ‘Memorable Cars’ videos for now, keep your eyes peeled for a season 2 sometime in the future!

I like to think that roflwaffle only boots up gt7 for the first time in months, to get the thumbnails for his videos and to not touch the game after that point lol

[carterconger]

My dad still brings up his memories of him and his friends using the escudo, and he hasn't even touched games since the ps2 days, so you know it was legendary

[TheKicksBoy]

I’m waiting for the 10 hour documentary “The Complete History of Gran Turismo”

[IAmPdawg]

The Toyota GT-One, Tom’s Supra, VIPER GTS, Suzuki Escudo… just to name a few. Such vivid memories

[alexandreturcotte]

"Memes, Enemies, Legends"
This tagline unironicly hits hard
Nice job, dude!

[nightwolf]

I wish that GT would feature these underrated car brands again, I know most of them are gone irl but there’s gotta be new indie car makers that are dying to be featured in GT.

[olaputsinthamusic]

The game that marked everyones childhood. Everytime i try to remember ps1 gaming days i always remember GT1 and GT2 the most.

The guys at Polyphony really need to be proud at themselves.

[drift]

Racing against that cobra in the gt4 1000 miles series is one of my favorite racing game memories ever! So much fun to have a goliath like that to go up against for such a long time

[GresterNandes]

I was set to watch this all at once. Only after 18 mins did I realize this is 3 HOURS. I will definitely watch it all but not in one sitting right now xD

[FGTSport]

0:57 is it just me or is the yellow evo staring into my soul?

[SALEENSGTR]

23:30 Gemlik Base, THE GOAT Rachet and Clank music choice

[kerrycalls]

I love that you use the Yakuza soundtrack, this kind of videos bring me so much nostalgia. Gran Turismo teach me a lot about cars and their history, and has peak aestethics in my opinion. Great work!!!

Regarding the VW Roadster VGT:
"...so they logically based the race car on the one that doesn't have a roof."
BECAUSE ITS COOL. Thats badass imo, especially in VR.

[kaiserofneemania]

I spent 2:47:00 of my life watching this, in honesty, this video is better then any Disney movie nowadays

[Leotheleprachaun]

I forgot how goofy the Demio A spec sounded and shot my cider out me nose. Also, it made my cats freak out as if there was some new bird around.

[millennialchicken]

''Babe wake up, new Roflwaffle vid just came out''

[SirMuffin]

Ty for mentioning the Midget! With hp limits, the super lightweight helped early on with such a small budget.

[kinga]

roflwaffle is out of his fucking mind with these videos. love you man

[goronimus]

To be fair, I believe Project Gotham Racing 2 makes the TVR Speed 12 more memorable due to the fact that it is the reward car for achieving all platinum in the Kudos World Series.
