Here is the latest information regarding "Gran Turismo 5", announced at the worlds largest game show, the E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) held on June 15.
A Massive Collection of Over 1000 Cars
Gran Turismo 5 will feature over 1000 cars, the most ever in the series. It’s a collection of the hottest and most desirable cars from around the world, both past and present.
There are two tiers of cars in Gran Turismo 5--Premium cars and Standard cars. The differences between the two are as follows:
Exquisitely Detailed, Premium Cars Are Stunningly Recreated Both Inside And Out
Includes over 200 cars
From the seductive curves of exotic sports cars, to the inviting sight of the road ahead when you slide into the driver’s seat and peer past the glass, down to the intricately detailed instrument panel and dashboard... Every one of the over 200 premium cars recreate every last detail of the car, inside and out.
Gran Turismo 5 contains over 200 of these "Premium" level cars.
Updated Cars From Past Gran Turismo Games Present An Unrivaled Lineup
Includes over 800 cars
The massive lineup of cars from past Gran Turismo games has been beautifully recreated through the latest technology and the Playstation 3’s cutting-edge graphics.
Gran Turismo 5 feature an astounding 800+ cars, a vast collection covering a wide range of eras and categories.
*Standard cars do not support vehicle interior camera views.
Intricate Details Raise The Bar For Racing Games Yet Again
The quality of the premium level cars is of course the intricate modeling of every tiny detail of not only the exterior, but the interior as well. No other game offers this level of ultra-high detail.
This level of detail extends from street cars to custom racing machines, where the unique instrument panels, colors and textures of the seats and interior materials, and more, have been painstakingly recreated.
Below are the comparison shots between the level of detail seen on premium cars (right) in Gran Turismo 5, and the actual photographs of the cars taken during data capturing sessions (left). See for yourself how close to reality Gran Turismo 5 has come.

- ARTA Garaiya (SUPER GT)
The interior of the Garaiya, a well-known SuperGT race car. Starting from the frame forming the chassis, everything from the steering wheel, pedals, switches and wires have been accurately recreated.

- Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic
Wheel area of the Audi R8. Note the rim’s intricate design, and behind it the brake calipers and brake rotors faithfully reproduced.

- Ferrari 458 Italia
The engine compartment visible from the rear window of the Ferrari 458 Italia, showing off the 4.5 liter V8 engine capable 570ps.

- Nissan GT-R Spec V
With these shots of the front grill area of the Nissan GT-R Spec V, you can see the GT-R emblem and the special carbon parts which identify it as a Spec V.

- Dodge Challenger SRT8
The back seats of the Dodge Challenger. Though it may not be seen very often during racing, it still receives the same attention to detail as everything else.
In Gran Turismo 5, cars have fully-functioning headlights. Premium cars even feature both low and high beams for a variety of racing conditions.
| Premium cars: | Headlights with high beams and low beams |
|---|---|
| Standard cars: | Standard lights only |
NASCAR: America’s Most Popular Motorsport
For the first time in the series, Gran Turismo 5 will feature NASCAR. Drive real licensed NASCAR cars and see well-known NASCAR drivers including Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Joey Logano, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the game.
One of NASCAR’s unique points of interest is the incredible skill and speed of the elite pit crews of each of the teams. Cars are lifted up, tires are changed with lightning-fast precision, and tanks are refueled in mere seconds. And all of this is faithfully recreated in Gran Turismo 5.

- The cockpits of the stock cars are also reproduced in full detail. In the photo is Tony Stewart’s Office Depot/Old Spice Chevrolet Impala.

- The car is jacked up one side at a time in the pit, and tire changes and refueling are performed at lightning speed.

- Brian Vickers

- Carl Edwards

- Dale Earnhardt Jr.

- Jeff Gordon

- Jimmie Johnson

- Joey Logano
