The Real Driving Simulator is Here

features over 1,000 realistically rendered cars. This is nearly 300 more
than were included in GT4 for PlayStation 2, and literally several
hundred more than what was available in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, the
first GT game variation developed for PS3. This tremendous list includes
standard categories of vehicles, including stock cars, tuned pre tuned
vehicles and tunables, but keeping with modern automotive technology GT5
also includes the latest, hybrid and electric car models. Just like any
car, these can be raced, but as with their real-life cousins, players
can also do things with these cars like monitor battery power as related
to speed and other car usage. In addition, GT 5 features over 20
courses, more than 60 variations, a new physics engine allowing for
realistic damage, a new in-cockpit view, HD support, and much more.
