Well that car only shows up if you don't have the car in your files.

Example: If i had a Nissan Skyline on PC and was online on your computer you wont be able to see it since you don't have the files to it so that car replaces what you have found just is a Model Atari made so then you don't see the car until you download it

Yeah.. that's the Japanese Imports Dealership. I saw it, and it's just empty right now (There's no way to get inside it, you can just see the exterior from your outside, like the Lexus Dealer. ;)

That's just the TDU official car Layout, what you guys would call a "skin". It's not a brand, but it was the first car that was made ingame, used to just make all other vehicles out of this. (This is like a basic framework, in which all the other cars were made out of).
The car can be driven too! You have to get glitched though, or via this: At the beginning of the Career mode, where you have to choose one of the three dealerships to buy your first car, go somewhere between the Ford and Chevy Dealership and click on the street (It is an exact coordinate, so you might have to try again and again to get to it), but after a while of trying and then getting it right, you get transported onto the street from your Map, and voila, you're driving this 'primary framework' car! (this is because you don't have a car yet, and the game automatically lets you land there, but it can only get to one car (the primary free one); if none of the real cars (which you have to pay ingame money to buy) have not been bought yet by the player, it just takes you to the imaginary car (or non-secondary), which is what you have come across (And everyone comes across it on the Dodge Dealership). It has the rear lights of a Volkswagen Golf V R32 (used for setting a certain hex-function code on the R32), the headlamps similar to an Audi (for all cars like the Audi, and the Audi itself), and the body chassis designed for an Alfa Romeo Alfa GT. Every code ingame is interchangeable, so this was the easiest way to make all the other cars, by making a unique one, with combined features.

BTW... sometimes, you can just get glitched into this car by simply coming out of a location (Dealership, club, house)! Let me tell you... the interior has nothing, everything is dark in the dashboard camera, the whole screen is black (except Heads-up display [HUD]). The car is extremely fast, it goes from 0-60 in around 2 seconds and has a strange set of gear ratios. It reaches 224 MPH, I believe, in 4th gear, and constantly continues at Max RPM (and at that speed)... very quick... sounds like a turbo-charged Gallardo (another framework piece).

There are videos in YouTube when players got the glitch, and surely, lots of screen shots, as you can see one in the post above.

Here's one: Clicky... it demonstrates all of the details that I mentioned above.

The concept car, made by Eden Games, is nicknamed TDU Conceptualisation 1 (TDU Concept Design 1) as translated in French (Eden Games is French).

That's pretty much it. ;)

well since i got driving around in sport mode pretty much mastered im trying out hypersport mode. quite a bit different gotta be careful with cars like the vette and viper too much of the go pedal and you will do circles, it is quite fun though. and the drifting is pretty sweet once you can control the car from doing a 180

Ah yes, don't you just love the computer industry's dollar to pound conversion rate (almost 1:1) :roll:

I paid about £30 I think...

Also, make sure your PC more than meets the minimum requirements - my 3 year old P4 3.2 runs it fine tho...

I have been playing offline for a while now, and I want to try online, but I get a connection failed when I try to connect. I made sure that my gamespy ID is still active and then tried connecting. After 3 connect attempts, the game just crashes.

Well Good Luck! coz you cannot drive it that car only replaces the Model of a DLC car if you haven't downloaded it witch will be hard to find since PC users don't have DLC cars yet...

I bought it today and I think its a bag of ****, shiznit gfx, half the scenery is transparent and massive slow down on a med spec PC when compared with MW running on same PC.

The annoying thing is the idiots who made this game forgot to add an option where you can change the detail, just an overal low, med and high setting :evil:

yes it is, it means they havn't programmed the game correctly for low end cards, look at how good MW looks on the same resolution and detail lvl.

Stop complaining if you don't have the PC to handle it.

EDIT: Well there are not suppose to program this game for older cards that are very outdated (say a ATi 9600 or nVidia FX5800), so go buy yourself a new card.
Also have you seen the detail of the cars in MW and the ones in TDU? Have you seen how big the island is?

Really? I find that TDU graphics look great on any level. Even with the HDR turned off, it still looks great. That's because no matter on how you change the settings, the shadows and the car model still looks the same. Sure, I have some jaggies here and there but considering that my videocard is below the system requirements, the game runs very smoothly (except for the occasional stutter).
