Camouflaged Corvette C7 Appears in Gran Turismo 5
Two very curious reported discoveries in GTPlanet’s Forums are attracting quite a bit of attention today.
The most significant comes from GTPlanet user jstickboy13, who reports having seen a camouflaged Corvette C7 appear during one of the game’s “screen saver” sessions, which displays race replays or Photomode locations during period of player inactivity.
GTPlanet user edwinpr also saw the car, and was able to verify jstickboy13′s claims with the following video.
UPDATE: GTPlanet user Furinkazen has also confirmed the car’s existence and recorded another video.
Close observers will note the car’s license plate appears to display the word “POLYPHONY” in the blue stripe along the top. Those following development of the new Corvette will recognize it from many recent spy shots which have been published in the automotive media.
The inclusion of a camouflaged car is, of course, not unprecedented for the Gran Turismo series; GT5 Prologue introduced a camouflaged version of the Nissan GT-R, which was later updated in the game after the car was officially unveiled.
The second curious sighting comes from GTPlanet user Ferraridude308, who reports having spotted a striped Lamborghini Aventador in Gran Turismo 5‘s online Photo Stream website. However, since this blog post was originally composed, the suspicious stripes have since been proven to be shadows cast on the car.
As always, stay tuned in to our forums as our community continues to analyse, discuss, and verify these claims.
UPDATE: GTPlanet user priesty_lfc has now captured new photos of the Corvette C7:

Sneak Peek????
Perhaps there is a flag in the code which reveals the car and which was part of the update. Can someone disconnect from the internet and advance their system clock past the 13th of January to find out please? If that doesn’t work, then I would guess that a subsequent update would be required to reveal the car.

I’m going to note a possibility of receiving this car through the random ticket system because of the possibility that this car is in the games code.. from the recent update… so spend those tickets it just might come up
-

IF that was a possibility, the ONLY ticket you could possibly rely on would be a Lvl1000 ticket – seeing as how we don’t know the level of the car.
And frankly I don’t think there’s enough patience in the world to let anyone sit through something like that – ESPECIALLY since it’s probably impossible to get the car.

As many of you are thinking that this Vette C6 is going to have a Zebra skin. Well you are now safe. The Zebra skin is just a camouflage to hide even the smallest details. So now on you guys will not bother thinking of Zebra skin prototype cars after reading this.

We did read it, and its a C7 Vette. Thank you.

Id love to see blue and white racing strips on second gen. Viper which never was included but they did on GT2 to GT3, anyway, hope they’d add more cars that is NOT Honda, Nissan. :p

I’d love to see the Dodge Ram with the Viper V10. Don’t recal what year it came out. But that is one radical truck.
Right down to the forced air induction “scoop”. 500 HP/525 ft/lbs tourque Zero to 60 in 5 seconds.
Standing QTR in 12.5 @ 118 MPH. I remembered that. That and 6 MPG city 13 Hwy.And lets hear it for the Motor Trend Car of the Year………….The TESLA Model S……….. :/

The Dodge RAM SRT10 is awesome, but it sucks they advertised it as having the viper motor, unfortunately it only had viper heads.
