Hyundai’s Veloster, Genesis Coupe in Next Gran Turismo
A team of Sony / Polyphony Digital engineers were spotted at a high-end tuning shop south of Los Angeles, capturing exhaust sounds for the Hyundai Veloster Turbo and Genesis Coupe on a dynamometer.
The news was posted on Cobb Tuning SoCal’s Facebook page (the post has since been removed from the page), along with a note mentioning the work was being done for “a video game coming out in the near future”.
Sure enough, a team of Japanese engineers can be seen in the photo, along with what appears to be the back of U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki.
Interestingly, the tuning shop is a mere half-mile away from Hyundai’s U.S. headquarters. Thanks to R_Lar for the tip!

We need a new Ram. The Laramie they gave us sucks. Give us truck guys some more love. We need the Ford Raptor, Ram Srt10, and the Mopar Ramrunner!! And a Cummins Turbo Diesel, with black smoke!

I have a idea for GT6,intead of trading cars how about getting into the”salesmen thing”,lets say your looking for a certain type of car,then you find it from the for sale list only for online users offcourse,lets say a player wants sell a car that you want,it goes into detail of how many miles it has,how many races,if the player bought it new or used,how much you pay or sell depends on mileage and parts.then engine details,exuast details,”this might be to much for pd to handle”.But i want this gt series to be as real as get,more damage meaning in real life you don’t run into a wall at 70mph and just bounce off it with a dented fender,your probably not goin any where after that,smoke coming out the hood of the car,driver could be hurt or killed that might that be taking it a little to far. but now you ether haft to get new car that you spent days and hours tuning or spend some money getting it fix,that’s if your car isn’t totled, because the millions of dollers you get from races are only good for buying cars and tuning parts nosense to me.let make people spend some of those millions on repairs and appreciate what they bulit,lets make people drive with a sense of skill and not be reckless.those poeple that run you off the road to win.If this was in place it wouldn’t be none of this going on.Pd seems to have somethings in place to make this game the monster of all racing games,but in my eyes it could be “GODZILLA”.Now let talk after market parts for engines,like different types of turbo’s,intercoolers,manifolds,exuast,brakes the list goes on, everything down to real life mechanical issues, blown turbo’s,flat tires after runing over debri left from somebody else’s car,oil leaks,broken tire rods,tow trucks.Or at the start of a race you start with all the pieces to your car,but after it’s all over half of your front bumper is gone,or you might haft to retire from the race.All i can say is watch a race from start to finish and all the drama that’s around it then you’ll understand what i’m talking about.That would be a dream racing game for me.But like i said it might to much for them to handle.Maybe they could do this type of stuff on ps4,”MAYBE”.

Nice concept from the first few lines. Hard to r3ead tho’, but I like the initial statements.

i would ! gt needs more of these lower hp hot hatches , aventadors and the like r good but remember kaz’s 1st idea for gt , ‘ i want to drive my car in a game’ , or words to that effect , jeez i couldn’t even afford the tyres on an aventador , a D plate xr2 mk2 is more attainable lol

What GT6 needs is engine swapping. I want the Veloster with the engine of a Tuatara!

By the time GT6 comes out these cars will be old news. Would be nice to get them as DLC cars and , Zl1, Gt500 etc.

Cant wait for the genesis!

August 17th, 2012 at 6:22 pm - #Rushton1996
hopefully this means Kia will be included as well and the Top Gear star in a reasonably priced car will be in the next GT game
-
August 17th, 2012 at 10:18 pm - #DuskTrooper
Why would that top gear part be included with GT6? I can understand the track they use to be included, but adding a segment of that show to GT just doesn’t make sense.
-
August 17th, 2012 at 11:14 pm - #DYLAN777-is-not
Yes i really hope the reasonably priced car thing will be in gt6! One guy replied to this saying it would make no sense… Im dumb founded by that remark. Only people over a certain iq should be able post. Either that or they should have a disclaimer at the end of their posts.

Says the one who’s post is grammatically incorrect… Don’t bash other people just because their opinion is different than yours.

You’re dumb? Really? Then where is your disclaimer?
HAHA.

Wow, ive seen a lot of comments, requesting these two and more Hyundai vehicles, and now i see a lot of comments disliking the idea of including them on next GT.
Hah, i kinda like how complicated people can be and i admire how some game companies are able to actually make a game to be accepted(wich no company has done these last years, people seem to be imposible to satisfy latelly.
-
August 17th, 2012 at 10:20 pm - #DuskTrooper
It’s not that people are impossible to satisfy, its that these video game companies just usually don’t deliver what fans want.

OMG PD is crazy????Veloster isnt a coupe ‘-’ it only has a cool design :/

It says Veloster & GENESIS Coupe

It`s lovely! We have seen video about how the PD recorded the sound of the R35, but its never appeared in GT5. They are deaf IMO. Every low-budget developer can make good sound in their game, why the PD not able to make it??? Without doubt, the GT5 is a good game/sim, but with proper engine sound, it would be exciting and brilliant. I hope it will be made for PS3.
-
August 18th, 2012 at 12:00 pm - #Dominic Toretto
yup… true, & its almost impossible to hear the difference between a turbo engine & an N/A engine, the only Rotary engine that actually sounds like a Rotary is the 787B

what an old way to record car engine: in a non road environment, in a closed garage…. and after you ask yourself why the sounds in GT are so bad! here is thebest way to record a car by TODAY’s standards:

It’s great that they used that technique, but why don’t the cars for shift 2 sound like that?
The rolling road method is tried and tested, produces satisfactory results (when processed correctly) and is a hell of a lot cheaper. That’s why people still use it.Hiring a track-per-car for two hundred + cars just isn’t feasible, nor do most owners of “borrowed cars” and “museum pieces” tend to lend themselves to the idea of some lunatic thrashing their expensive machinery, tyres, brakes at said track. It also takes time to organize, arrange and complete. It’s a lot quicker to arrive, run the car up on a local rolling road for an hour, then leave. Than travel maybe 150 miles for a 1+ hour track outing (weather permitting), not including setting up the recording equipment, briefings, scrutineering, setups etc

Sorry guys but I doubt this is for GT6. Appstore on my iPad just showed me there is an update for Asphalt 7, what it does include is a Genesis and Veloster Turbo.
-
August 17th, 2012 at 9:20 am - #HKSBro92
Polyphony didn’t make Asphalt 7….

That doesn’t make sense miskolciart. Than why is such a news posted here on GTPlanet HMMM?
-
August 17th, 2012 at 4:38 pm - #miskolciart
Well there’s no actual evidence that they are form PD
-
August 17th, 2012 at 5:08 pm - #TokoTurismo
Which country is this “Asphalt 7″ game made from? Because it clearly has “a team of Japanese engineers can be seen in the photo, along with what appears to be the back of U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki.” written in there.

If this is for GT6, then I hope it comes out sooner than I expect. I don’t want another new game with cars from 5-6 years ago.
-
August 16th, 2012 at 7:11 pm - #gamerdog6482
What I don’t understand is why this has so many comments. I mean really, guys. It’s not like they are saying GT6 is coming out tomorrow!

Doubtful PD shared that info with Hyundai or any car dealership. We will know when Kaz announces it formally.
Bad Rumors are just that.

@flink Half of me wants to believe you and the other half is calling bullsh*t

August 16th, 2012 at 6:27 pm - #LR-MR-Cole
Which wont be for atleast another 2 years (GT6) so why cant these cars be in GT5, cause by the time GT6 does come out the veloster will be in its Gen 2 and the Genesis Gen 3 model looks, so they will be old news. Why not add to the 5 car 2012 line up in gt5
-
August 17th, 2012 at 8:32 am - #DuskTrooper
Because it is time for PD to let go of GT5 and continue with GT6.
