I'm talking, of course, about the release of *[Gran Turismo 2: Beige Edition]()*. This upcoming mod of the 1999 racing game swaps out *GT2's* 600-car-strong roster for far less remarkable machinery. Some vehicles have been retained from the original game because, as anyone who has played *[GT2]()* will tell you, it had plenty of boring cars already. But many will be added, and the folks working on it just put out a video of the first 120. [This video]() is 11-and-a-half minutes long, and I have watched all of it without skipping ahead. If they put together a final one of the whole roster, it'll be four times as long, and I'll probably watch that, too. I love old, forgettable cars rendered in an authentic low-poly style, and *Beige Edition* has the lot. These videos teach me things, too. Like, for example, that there was a Bic-sponsored—that's the pen company—version of the Citroen Saxo. Or that, in Europe, Ford released yellow "Millennium Edition" models of the Focus, Ka, and Puma. Amid all of the American auto industry's half-hearted early attempts at cracking the electric car, I'd missed the Dodge Caravan EPIC (that's an acronym for "Electric Power Interurban Commuter," of course). And how about the existence of the Citroen Xsara *West Coast*? Because what else could possibly capture the spirit and tradition of California's iconic car culture but a small European family car that was never sold in the States? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wVO8e3N4ik This video's teeming with curiosities, and I'm sure there are many more lurking in the other couple hundred cars planned. And don't worry—as this is a *Gran Turismo* game, it still has Skylines, Supras, and Mustangs. They're the base-engine models nobody wants, but they're there! *Got a tip?

A car lover and gamer since his earliest memories, Adam came to know the automotive world through video games. First it was Daytona USA, Sega Rally, and Ridge Racer; then came Need For Speed, which inspired an encyclopedic knowledge of '90s supercars, and, of course, Gran Turismo. If not for them, he'd assuredly be doing something else right now. Adam is based in the suburbs outside Philly, where there are ample roads for his hot hatch to stretch its legs. In his car, he's probably listening to indie rock, drum and bass, or Yankees baseball. ### Author social links [Bluesky]() [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
