The Cars of GamesCom 2009

Can you identify any of the cars below? Drop your thoughts in the forums and get noted on the next podcast!

GamesCom 2009: We’re out in Cologne at GamesCom at the moment and in response to the ever-popular ‘Guess The Car’ thread in the bit-tech forums we couldn’t help but stop to take a few pictures of the cars that were spread out across the show floor.

The bad news though is that we’ve only sent games writer Joe Martin out to the event who, lacking a driving license or even a passing interest in anything with wheels, wasn’t able to offer even a guess as to what any of the vehicles on the show floor. In other words; it’s up to you to try and identify the cars/bikes/vans/tractors below.

The automobiles themselves range extraordinarily too, from stands full of motorbikes to tractors that had been incorporated into huge setpieces for some of the gaming booths. There were plenty of huge trucks and vans too, though in the baking German heat we just didn’t dare take a peak inside.

So, take a look at the pictures below and let us know your guesses in the comments thread. If it looks like anyone has got all or most of them right then we’ll give you a big shout out (and maybe a prize if you get them all) in the next bit-tech and Custom PC Gaming Podcast. Keep an eye out for that at some point next week.

Until then, start guessing and remember that any time spent disrespecting our camerawork is time wasted!

Dodge RAM SRT10, Volvo S60, Some sort of range rover, Dodge Charger, some racing version of the Porsche 911, a Humvee and a BMW E92 M3. The big black van is a Grumman Olson i think. No idea about the Peterbilt truck, but the APC is a Condor.

The title says cars, so what are all those two-wheelers doing there?

EDIT: Also there's a new Volkswagen Golf that i didn't spot.

Because the idea for this article came to Joe in a dream. Nope, not kidding...

I think the scooter on the left in the second picture is a SYM Jet sport x with a custom paint job and exhaust. You can work out the word sym on the front and i have a sym catalog infront of me so it seems to add up. I'm not sure about the one on the left though.

VW Golf GTI 2009 Model 3 door version in Red. The rest are familiar enough but they aren't cars I adore as much as the VW...

the GT4 has no rear wing

other unidentified cars

Dodge Ram - With a Paint Job, not a SRT@10 no powerdome on hood
VW Polo -I'm from the US and recognize the car

And it kinda says 2 on the end of the number plate, which would ctand for 'BMW M3 GT2' :)

EDIT: and if we continue, the GT2 has a splitter, a much lower front bumper, wider mudgards, wents right behind the front wheels, NACA ducts in front of the rear wheels (prolly for rear brake cooling), a badass rear spoiler and huge vents on the bonnet. THe GT4 has neither of those, just a slightly more agressive kit than the street version.

The latest GT2 version, which is quite a bit different to the unveiling one: http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Rod09/Gallery/BMW-ALMS/BMW_press_Sebring_Test2.JPG

...Cannot believe I've missed numbers 16-18...getting old.

Anyway:
2. on the right is not a sachs (SFM) speedjet 50, different rims, light assembly, footguard-style: http://www.sfm-bikes.de/de/bike.php?bike_id=216#
