The Constant Risk of Crashing Adds To The Tension:
Three Levels of Vehicle Damage

Gran Turismo takes another step closer to reality.

Gran Turismo 5 will feature realistic vehicle damage that lives up to its driving simulator name.

Not only do the looks of the car change when damaged, an advanced physics simulation helps faithfully recreate how damage is taken and its resulting effect. By doing so, Gran Turismo 5 successfully recreates real-life added tension and challenge that comes from driving on the edge. (*).

Damage in Gran Turismo 5 shows up in three different levels, with specific differences in damage between Premium cars and Standard cars.

Performance Damage Performance damage affects how the car performs based on calculating the physical effects of collisions and damage on various parameters. It affects vehicle stability and control, depending on the amount of damage taken. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars. Dirt, Scratches, and Dents This is damage that can be visually seen, and involves the vehicle collecting dirt, scratches and dents. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars. Dislodging and Deformation of Body Panels This third level of damage causes body panels to come loose or to deform from their original shapes. This level of damage affects premium cars only.
