Kazunori Yamauchi at Pebble Beach 2009
September 12th, 2009 by Jordan
You might remember last year when Kazunori Yamauchi handed out the “Polyphony Digital Trophy” at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. At the time, his selection of a Lamborghini raised eyebrows in our forums, and it did turn out to be a pleasant case of foreshadowing! This year, the award goes to a 1965 Alfa Romeo TZ2 – the company’s “last purpose-built GT racer”, of which only 12 were produced. Before you get too excited, though, we should mention that there is no indication this car will be included in any GT game. It would be great, however, to see Polyphony Digital Trophy recipients included, much like the annual winners of the SEMA Gran Turismo Award…

Has anyone ever seen the cars in pic 9 & 11 if so what are they ? in pic 11 that car kinda looks like a tvr?

Somebody give that lady a “What not to Wear” award.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:39 am
What is that wonderful red creature with the black stripe?
Like icant said, it looks like a TVR.

That woman next to KY is so skinny, OMG.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Thats what rich sun ripend people look like in the south of france (the lady) lol!
I would hope that all the Pebble Beach and also SEMA gran turismo winners are in GT5. It looks like they have the licences for all the brands in question apart from the Porsche.
That Alfa is really a thing of beauty, pretty much all Alfas have been.

edit to my previous post, sun ripend rich people in CALIFORNIA!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
if the alfa is gonna be in GT5, doesn’t that mean PD has to model it. PD said car modeling takes up to 6 months. I CANT WAIT 6 MORRE MONTHS FOR GT5!!!!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Mr X thanks for the into ,that car has a viper v 10 tunded to make 650 bhp…..
September 13th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Not to get off the subject but has anyone heard if gt5 will have extensive customization as far as paint and rims etc…
September 13th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
And i meant “info”
September 13th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
LMAO and “tuned”
September 13th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
@icant55
highly doubt it. although this major advancement at the TGS could be anything so keep your fingers crossed.
September 13th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
lol Yeah Sam, That would be something right … I would hate to have a race with 12-16 red enzo’s, Im not a forza fan buy any means but the way you can customize a car with the paint and rims is crazy! ,Still it’s not worth buying a 360 with the red eye lmao! We need that on GT5!
September 13th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
The paint pallet that is…
September 13th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
We atleast need the optional extras like you get when you buy a real car, GT5P already has car color as an option, but GT5 needs things like interior upulstry option, or rim option, choosing weather you want your car to be manual or auto, any of that would keep me happy, but forza customization for GT5 would just be SICK!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 7:45 am
I agree … but it would be real nice to make every car and color from any manufacturer…
September 14th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Aston Martin One-77!!!!!
September 15th, 2009 at 9:25 am
