Enthusia Professional Racing [PCSX2] - Time Attack Replay (Honda Insight)

Описание: In light of Sony's PlayStation 2 celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, I figured now would be a better time than ever to play some PS2 games.

'Enthusia Professional Racing' to this day remains exclusive to the PlayStation 2 and is essentially Konami's take on the 'Gran Turismo' formula. Even though this particular racing game from 2005 has certain aspects which the 'Gran Turismo' games for the PS2 don't have (such as certain vehicles and an all-original soundtrack), the fact remains that 'Gran Turismo' was (and still is) the primo racing simulation title for the PlayStation brand.

So yeah, I'll be showcasing a whole bunch of road cars which are not only depicted as right-hand-drive vehicles in this game (at least as far as my keen eyesight can observe), but have also been sold in Australia officially at some point (or at the very least have had variants which officially made their way to the Australian market). Furthermore, I'll be sorting them from slowest to fastest around the iconic Tsukuba track (which, along with Nürburgring Nordschleife, is the only real-life circuit to be featured in this game).

Kicking off my 'Enthusia Professional Racing' playlist is the first-generation Honda Insight (which was the first production Honda vehicle to use the hybrid car technology known as Integrated Motor Assist). This particular iteration of the Insight was officially sold in Australia from 2001 to 2004 (at least according to Redbook, AKA the go-to website for research into vehicles sold in Australia) and was based on the Honda VV concept car from 1999 (which in turn was based on the radical-looking Honda J-VX hybrid sports car concept from 1997).

As the car shown here is the JDM (Japanese domestic market) version of the Honda Insight, certain elements of it may be different to the one that was officially sold here in Australia. That being said, since this game lists the car featured here as a 2002 model, here's information about the 2002 Honda Insight in Australia (courtesy of Redbook):
