Description
This would be the town square of San Gimignano.
Historically speaking it is nice to have this vehicle in the game, but not for racing. If they would include some real off road areas and even some water fording areas, just to showcase what the vehicles are capable of it would be a different story.
In the end this and it's amphibious brother should not be in game.
Another image from GT5 on the PS3. Thank you for the view and I pray you have a blessed day!

Very cool. Fantastic work
Crazy! LOL
splendid command car ! greta lighting !
A racer it wasn't, had a top speed of like 40 MPH or something like that I think with it's 25HP motor. Four wheel drive was only available in 1st and reverse gears (IIRC) like it's Schwimmwagen cousin. It was built by VW again in like the '70's-'80's as the Type 181 "Thing". They're still popular here in the Az. desert where I live. They weren't big sellers and were retired once again in fairly short order. There was a 4-wheel drive Beetle as well during that era called the "Commander" or something like that, it had similar performance as the other two... dismal. This would've been more convincing of a capture if you'd gotten rid of the modern dressed crowd but I guess maybe it's been drug out at a display show... I really need to let my imagination go I think.. ;)
Yes, it does seem out of place!
