How far-fetched is the idea of user modeled cars?

There wouldn’t be licensing issues. Look at how ridiculously similar GTA cars are to the real thing without ruffling any feathers.

those GTA-Cars are not user modeled cars, they are only similar to the original and and have fantasy names

if you take a look into the downloadpages containing user modeled cars for modable racing/car-games like Accetto Corsa or even GTA5 (GTA 5 Vehicle Mods - GTA5-Mods.com) 99% of them are branded and are named with the real name…
anyway no licens issues in the first place like in other games
but this:

most likely wouldn’t be possible

I don’t think they’d allow you to mod a branded car. You’d have to use some time of fake brand to do that.

ya but if rockstar can do it and small studios like kunos simulazioni (AC).
why should Microsoft/T10/PG not allow it?
When it comes to private user modeled planes in MSFlightSimulator it is no problem there are a lot branded available.

Seems like a big step for PG anyway, we never even got walls for our tracks.

That stanced Barchetta Countach is the stuff of nightmares.

I understand that this request has good intentions, but I just really don’t see this working out well for a multitude of reasons, with licensing being the main one. I’d also rather see PG’s resources be spent on improving customization for models already in the game.

It’s so deliciously polarising. Like dipping fries in a milkshake.
