Porsche is represented by the Ruf tuner as before, but there are no Ferarris, or Lamborghinis (although the Cizesta V16 looks like a even more of a Diabolo rip-off than it does in real life.

I've read that these companies signed exclusive licencing deals with other games companies before GT1, and are kicking themselves for doing so, although facts are thin on the ground.
