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:

Seriously. Just no. No no no no no. And no. With a bit of no sprinkled on top. And maybe on a plate of no. With no sauce. And a no drink to finish it off.

It would also be nice if they could put the chrome line and stealth cars up for dlc purchase, I understand people paid extra and all that stuff so don’t bother with the negative blasting, we would also pay to have them. I like to collect all the good and rare cars, and I’d love to add them to my collection.

It´s understandable, but i would be a little pissed off.
`Cos i bought the Signature-Edition and those cars(stealth models) are only for owners of it.
Just Go And buy the Signatur-Edition and call those cars your own, like i did.I also would like to have the Special Camaro from that Shaving-Gel company, but i was to late.
But you have still the chance to buy the Signatur-Edition, even cheaper then i did the day it came out for sale. -

The downside to having the “Edge Camaro SS” is that PD “bricked it after 2.0 update last year, so it cant be shared or used online. Other then that it’s a great car.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 9:52 am - #TheKitten
I used it after Spec 2.0? But why would they brick it
-
November 13th, 2012 at 10:07 am - #Pit Crew
You cant use it Online, or Share it but you can drive it in arcade, gt life mode. You gotta ask PD why its bricked from community use. If you pull it out online in a lobby youll freeze room as I recall.

The Edge Camaro works fine for me online

November 13th, 2012 at 12:30 pm - #Pit Crew
^^ Hmmm well pd must have fixed the issue because last time and every time I saw 1 in an online lobby it froze us out. If its usable now, I stand corrected.

Ok – while this is a good indication that we COULD get this car in-game; why would they sneak in a ‘camoflauged’ version?
I AM asking btw, I don’t understand why they would. : )
-
November 13th, 2012 at 7:13 am - #Xamado7V
Srry – I just realised the real life C7 is this way also : )

Its nice to see more cars add to its library. But I’d rather to see Pike Peak dirt and paved (tarmac) added to GT5… xD
-
November 12th, 2012 at 11:34 pm - #lllDiZZLEllll
the zebra pattern is how they test cars that arent in production so it camoflages the lines of the car… look at the zL1 camaro before it came out it was the same white and black zebra trybal graphics…
-
November 12th, 2012 at 9:49 pm - #BFBullpup
I hope the zebra paint job isn’t stock. :-\ I’m a Corvette fan and I am looking forward to the C7′s inclusion in GT5.
-
November 12th, 2012 at 11:01 pm - #SkierPS3
Look up photos of the real camoflauged C7. That zebra stuff is there as well. If that’s how it’s stock in real life, that’s how it’s gonna be in GT5.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 8:48 am - #Boxout
For now only the cammo C7 was exposed, there wasn’t any ‘stock’ one around
Maybe when the final form of the C7 get revealed they’ll include it on GT5.

That actually made me laugh, that is about the coolest thing I’ve seen on GT5
How great does that camouflage look, and also to know there’s more cars coming!
Just hope they get the exhaust tone right not just engine sounds!! -
November 12th, 2012 at 7:51 pm - #Hentis
Hell why not go for the whole hog here.
How about the coca cola “Holidays are coming” Christmas Truck for GT5 or is that a bit over the top?-

So I’m not the only one that wants to use an 18-wheeler?

November 13th, 2012 at 12:47 am - #Pit Crew

-
November 13th, 2012 at 8:07 am - #Progress823
Imagine trying to get a 53-foot trailer around the Karussell….

It would fall over if you did it too slowly. It would be insane in online matches.

Just the charger alone would be wonderful! Mopar or no car :)

Because that is for Gran Turismo 6.

November 12th, 2012 at 10:48 pm - #Meatwad67
For crying out loud will you people stop bitching about there not being enough American Cars in GT5! If you want American Cars, play Need for Speed! In the mean time, all I want for Christmas is the Mercedes C63 and new SLS Black!
-
November 12th, 2012 at 11:31 pm - #QuikSlvr223
@Meatwad67: The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is in there, but if you want the base model, there’s the power limiter and ballast. As for the SLS Black, get a new SLS, paint it yellow, add all the body kits, and try to get the performance figures right.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 12:53 am - #Pit Crew
@Meatwad Get over yourself. People can ask for what they want. GT5 wasnt designed specifically for you…and No I aint playin NFS to use american cars, im gonna keep asking for U.S. models Euro models custom models for GT5, whenever I please.
Take a gander in the Mercedes showroom and youll see the C63 AMG Benz.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 8:30 am - #HKSBro92
@metwad so you would rather have a different version of a car that’s already in the game than some brand new american muscles? Just wow
-
November 13th, 2012 at 10:14 am - #SZRT Ice
That’s a bad @ss car list bro’ham.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 1:57 pm - #Meatwad67
@ PitCrew. I never said nor intended to say that it was designed for me nor do I say you don’t have a right to your opinion as am I. All I’m saying is that the calls for American cars in the game is getting to be a bit much. To clear up something else, When I said I wanted the C63 I meant the C63 Black. Finally to answer HKSBro92, other than the ’13 Boss 302 and Shelby, yeah!

I’m level 40. Chevy dealership say 17 cars available for my level and I have 17 in the dealership. The Chevvy could have been put in there back in a previous update. And has been timed activated. So far haven’t seen it on my version (UK) but this could be timed released for the NAIAS in January 2013 when GM’s launch is supposed to be, apparently :)
-
November 12th, 2012 at 5:05 pm - #XPOWER180
Can you write a numbered list of the 17 you have available as i’m at level 40 and my garage says 17 but only has 16 available, like everyone elses here.
-
November 12th, 2012 at 5:24 pm - #Hentis
My mistake (long day and was a tad pre occupied) but yeah it does state 17 available for my level but only 16 as actually there :)?sorry. It’s been a long day here!
-
-
November 12th, 2012 at 4:48 pm - #Hawker4
You can’t rely on the whole Chevy dealer says 17 cars and there’s only 16…PD dealership says 6 and there are 8 total available for purchase.
-
November 12th, 2012 at 4:58 pm - #XPOWER180
That might be because you are not at level 40 A-Spec yet and can’t purchase the X2010/11 so although the PD garage has 8 that will be why only 6 are available to you. All 8 are available in mine as it will be for anyone else who has reached L40.
-
November 12th, 2012 at 11:03 pm - #SkierPS3
@Xpower
Completely right. The Red Bulls available for purchase in PD’s category are level 40 only.
-
November 13th, 2012 at 1:14 pm - #Hawker4
Woopsy! So True…Just realized that…been stuck at 39 for quite some time now, on cusp of being 40. Scratch my earlier statement.

A step in the right direction PD. Manufacturer approved car models BEFORE they’re released. Do this more often and you’re golden. Now about the tracks issue. I sure do hope “the amount of (tracks) will be such that will make a hat fall off my head.” Looking forward to it.
-
November 12th, 2012 at 3:07 pm - #ncrthree
Just go ahead and release it now! We can drive it with the cover on.

GT6 no doubt will have TONS of dlc .. Sony is testing the waters with micro transactions * cough cough* last Bach of cars .. And uncharted has micro transactions for everything in the game * even stuff you can unlock* hopefully it docent go that far but imagine getting 500 Premiums PLUS 3-6 new cars a month… ;P
-
November 12th, 2012 at 11:33 pm - #QuikSlvr223
Bach of cars? Do they play instruments?

-
November 12th, 2012 at 2:52 pm - #stupidstormy36
Hmm, with the last update being over 100 MB, I thought there was something else there. This’ll be cool if this car can be driven in the game soon!

Free downlad for christmas maybe?

November 12th, 2012 at 2:46 pm - #tpark103
Doesn’t PD try try to make exact and true to life detailed models of each manufactures vehicle, with that said, it’s possible that they could pull the covers off this Vette whenever Chevy is ready to make the official debuts.

I hope in the next installment GT6 we get Premium Camo Car Covers for all of our cars to go along with our horns…Premium Air Fresheners would be a nice touch too!!! I’m so excited!!!
