So we are finally back and ready for another Official Pendulum Tuning Release. Its been too long now and thought we need to get this car out to the community especially as I've had multiple messages asking when this is out. This car has been sitting dormant waiting to pounce since April! PTG Claret has done us all proud with this one and the tune is perfect for those tracks with some straights in such as Sebring, Road America etc etc. Check some Leaderboard time posted below and you won't be disappointed.
We then asked Based if he wanted to do the paint for us, we gave him full control on whatever style/theme he wanted to do and came up with this! It certainly fits the tune with that evil look! Whatever angle this car is at, it looks awesome. A big thumbs up to Based for this one [UP]
Paint: By Based Zoroark
- When i was asked if i wanted to take part in a PTG collaboration for the 65 Daytona Coupe, i was estatic, not only was i painting a Lemans winning V8 monster, but by far my Favourite classic car in any of the forza games, 390 hp in a lightweight Race car chassis, with a sound that can quite literally make even modern day muscle cars wet themselves in terror.
The rarity and pedigree of the Cobra coupe means it demands the utmost of respect to paint, normally when asked to paint something outlandish, i would think of a video game or movie character and base the design and colours and the chosen theme, and that's all good and well on a import or modern muscle, but for a car this old and rare, i decided to "hotrod" it up so to speak, i took inspiration from american warplanes of ww2, usually found sporting checkers or teeth designs. patches of green, tan and black layered over darkened diamond plate are placed to leave a wear and tear look to simulate a battle hardened Cobra, while still staying true to traditional 60's Lemans racers featuring Shelby's signature "go faster stripes".
All in all the paint took roughly 5 hours to detail, with extra time to find and fix small errors adding to a total of 3278 layers. the design can be found in forza 5 with the filename as "SnakeBit" or search PTG in the description
