A new fan-made mod for the 1999 racing game Gran Turismo 2, titled Beige Edition, has revealed its first 120 vehicles in a detailed video. The mod replaces the original's 600-car roster with obscure, low-poly, and intentionally dull cars while retaining some of the originals' less exciting models. Fans are anticipating the mod's release by the end of 2025.
Mod Overview
Gran Turismo 2: Beige Edition is an upcoming fan modification for the classic 1999 PlayStation racing game Gran Turismo 2. The mod swaps out the game's extensive lineup of 600 vehicles for a collection focused on unremarkable, beige-toned, low-poly cars that emphasize obscurity and boredom. Some vehicles from the original game are kept, as Gran Turismo 2 already featured plenty of mundane options, but the mod introduces many new additions to enhance this theme.
Video Reveal
The developers have released an 11.5-minute video highlighting the first 120 cars in the mod. This footage provides a comprehensive look at the vehicles, rendered in an authentic low-poly style reminiscent of the era. The full roster, expected to include around 600 cars, would result in a video four times longer, which enthusiasts are eager to watch.
The video uncovers interesting historical trivia about the cars, such as the Bic-sponsored Citroen Saxo from the pen company, yellow 'Millennium Edition' Ford Focus, Ka, and Puma models released in Europe, the Dodge Caravan EPIC—an early electric vehicle acronym for 'Electric Power Interurban Commuter'—and the Citroen Xsara West Coast, a European family car never sold in the U.S. Despite the focus on dullness, the mod retains popular models like base-engine Nissan Skylines, Toyota Supras, and Ford Mustangs.
This reveal has sparked interest among Gran Turismo fans for its humorous take on automotive obscurity, blending nostalgia with educational insights into forgotten vehicles.
