The Rare Performance Variant â Finland's Hot Hatch Heritage
This guide is based on My Winter Car Early Access (December 2025). GT specifications and availability may change in future updates.
The Corris Rivett GT is the rare performance variant of the Corris Rivett project car in My Winter Car. It represents the top of the trim hierarchy, designed for enthusiasts who want factory-installed performance features straight from the showroom floor.
In automotive tradition, "GT" stands for Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) â a designation reserved for high-performance cars designed to combine speed, comfort, and style for spirited long-distance driving.
The Corris Rivett comes in four distinct trim levels, each offering different features and equipment:
| Trim | Description | Target Audience |
|---|---|---|
| L | Base Economy Trim | Budget-conscious buyers |
| LX | Premium Comfort Trim | Comfort-oriented buyers |
| SLX | Performance/Luxury Trim | Luxury enthusiasts |
| GT | Rare Sporty Performance Trim | Performance enthusiasts |
Here's a detailed comparison of what makes the GT special compared to other Corris Rivett variants:
| Feature | L | LX | SLX | GT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Performance 2.0 Engine | â | â | â | â |
| Two-Barrel Carburetor | â | â | â | â |
| 4.44 Axle Ratio | â | â | â | â |
| Limited Slip Differential (LSD) | â | â | â | â |
| Lowered + Stiffened Suspension | â | â | â | â |
| Quick Steering Ratio | â | â | â | â |
| Bucket Seats | â | â | â | â |

| Sport Steering Wheel | â | â | â | â |
| Racing Gear Stick | â | â | â | â |
| Boot Spoiler | â | â | â | â |
| Special Body Colors | â | â | â | â |
The GT comes with unique factory options that set it apart from standard Corris Rivett models:
| Component | GT Specification | Standard Spec |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | High Performance 2.0L SOHC I4 | 2.0L SOHC I4 (98 HP) |
| Carburetor | Two-Barrel (Performance) | Single-Barrel |
| Transmission | 4-Speed Manual | 4-Speed Manual / 3-Speed Auto |
| Axle Ratio | 4.44 | 3.44 / 3.75 / 3.89 / 4.11 |
| Differential | Limited Slip Differential (LSD) | Open Differential |
| Component | GT Specification |
|---|---|
| Suspension | Lowered + Stiffened Springs |
| Steering | Quick Steering Ratio |
| Wheels | 14" Steel or 14" Octo Alloys |
The higher 4.44 axle ratio provides better acceleration at the cost of top speed â perfect for spirited driving on Finnish backroads and ice racing where quick throttle response matters more than highway cruising.
The GT features unique exterior styling that distinguishes it from other Corris Rivett trims:
The facelifted GT exclusively uses a plastic front bumper with integrated air dam, giving it an aggressive, sporty appearance compared to the chrome bumpers on other trims.
GT models feature a plastic grille instead of chrome or chrome-black options found on L, LX, and SLX variants.
The GT bootlid includes a factory spoiler, improving rear-end aerodynamics and adding a distinctive sports car silhouette.
Exclusive "Special" color options are available only on the GT, making your car stand out from the crowd.
The GT is available in both pre-facelift and facelift versions:
Inside, the GT offers a revised, driver-focused cockpit with sport-oriented equipment:
Factory-installed bucket seats provide better lateral support during spirited driving and racing. Available in black, beige, red, or blue.
A proper tachometer is included, essential for monitoring engine RPM during performance driving and optimal shifting.
A shorter, sportier gear shifter for quicker, more precise gear changes during spirited driving.
A smaller-diameter sport steering wheel provides a more direct feel and complements the quick steering ratio.
The GT interior is available in four colors:
Some GT models may not come with a radio installed from the factory, but one can be added later if desired.
The GT's factory upgrades combine to create a significantly more capable driving experience:
The "High Performance 2.0" engine option delivers more power than the standard 98 HP unit. Combined with the two-barrel carburetor, expect improved:
The LSD is a game-changer for Finnish winter conditions:
The handling upgrades work together:
The GT's lowered, stiffened suspension provides better handling but may make ride quality harsher on rough Finnish roads. The quick steering can feel twitchy at highway speeds if you're not used to it.
Even with factory GT equipment, there's room to push performance further with aftermarket parts from Fleetari:
| Part | Benefit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Barrel Race Carburetor | Significant power gains | Required for N2O; needs precise tuning |
| Performance Camshafts | Improved power curve | Fast Road, Rally, Race options |
| GT Exhaust Manifold | Better exhaust flow | Pairs with longer GT front exhaust |
| Lightweight Flywheel | Quicker rev response | 7kg or 8.2kg options |
| High Performance Fuel Pump | Adequate fuel supply | Essential for race builds |
| Rev Limiter | Engine protection | Prevents over-revving |
Performance parts, especially the racing carburetor, increase engine wear rate. Budget for more frequent maintenance and have spare parts ready.
The Corris Rivett is based on the Ford Taunus TC1, produced from 1971 to 1976. Understanding the real car helps appreciate the in-game recreation:
| Specification | Ford Taunus TC1 |
|---|---|
| Production Years | 1971 - 1976 |
| Country of Origin | Germany (Ford of Europe) |
| Engine Options | 1.3L, 1.6L, 2.0L I4 / 2.3L V6 |
| Power Range | 55 HP - 108 HP |
| GT Engine (typical) | 2.0L OHC I4, 98 HP |
In the 1970s, the Ford Taunus was extremely popular in Northern Europe, including Finland. The GT variants were reserved for driving enthusiasts who wanted more power and sportier handling. Many Finnish car enthusiasts grew up with these vehicles, making the Corris Rivett a nostalgic experience.
