Lamborghini Aventador, “Route X” Circuit, & More in Reported GT5 2.03 Details

Gran Turismo 5 January 10th, 2012 by Jordan

Apparent information about Gran Turismo 5′s third round of DLC has appeared here in GTPlanet’s forums. According to “Space Empire”, GT5′s 2.03 update will be launched on January 18th, and will include a few of the following new changes and features:

  • New themes for My Home in GT Mode.
  • An option for tire wearing in Pit Strategy (B-spec).
  • Simulates regenerative braking on electric cars.
  • Chaparral 2J Race Car ’70: Fan down force option.
  • Fixed unintended pit stop error in the final lap of a B-spec race.
  • 12 new colors and 12 new wall papers for My Home theme.
  • Electric cars run slowly without applying acceleration.
  • Regenerative braking affects the cruising distance.

New downloadable content packs will, reportedly, also become available. The “Speed Test Pack” will include the new “Special Stage Route X Oval” revealed in the recent Honda NSX Concept video, and Car Pack 3 will include the following new vehicles:

  • Nissan Leaf G 2011
  • Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2010
  • Volkswagen [Beetle] 1200 1966
  • Jaguar XJR-9 LM Racecar 1988
  • Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2011
  • Mini Mini Cooper S Countryman (R60) 2011

As always, until this information is officially announced and verified, things could change, so you’d be wise to temper your expectations. Regardless, this appears to be legitimate information, so stay tuned for further details as they develop.

Edit: This information has now been confirmed by the Asia/Hong Kong official PlayStation site, with the car pack (Car Pack 3) priced at approximately $5 (47HK$) and the “Speed Test Pack” containing Route X priced at approximately $4 (31HK$).

Special thanks goes to Space Empire for discovering and sharing this material, and thanks to Carlos Fandango and diegorborges for making me aware of it on such short notice!

    i think they should have more premium supercars in the next DLC or update for Ex. Bugatti veyron SuperSport & Grand Sport, Lamborghini murcielago roadster, mercedes benz SL series, the 2012 dodge charger,BMW M6 cuope & convertible, Ford Shelby GT500 & the GT500 supersnake, Audi R8 convertible, Pagani Huarya and Cinque, and some more manufactures wouldnt hurt either like SSC, Marussia, Hennesy,etc.

    2 cars that we already have but now premium, SUPRA next PLEASE!!… Beetle lame, why a nissan leaf? if someones gonna use a hybrid they’ll use the CR-Z , I like the Aston (although every late Aston is basically the same thing, engine, chassis etc) & the Lambo is really kool & so many cars & they chose a mini & btw an UGLY 1 & $4 for only 1 track is kinda stupid… oh well lets see the next DLC (I know its hard to keep up with millions of fan demands but Kaz IS a racer & he has to know what ppl really like)

      I think they had to put a nissan in because polyphony is connected with nissan if you know what i mean. i like the leaf. it different and can use it in hybrid/electric races so it fun. not all of us like fast cars. Think about the game as a whole and not just for your sake. people like driving it while others dont

      Your opinion is not a fact. I like hybrids, but that doesnt mean EVERYONE likes them. Same with everything you listed.

    OMG! I’m totally speechless. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting since the start. In fact, just the other day, I was talking to my brother about how cool it’d be for PD to add new Aston Martins and a test track.

    The LAMBO AVENTADOR. SWEET!!!!
    I just HATE the fact that I JUST bought Forza just to drive this car…Bye bye forza, hello gamestop trade-in counter. Gonna use my trade money to buy the DLC.
    I need the XJR-9, so.. WOO.
    and the V12 vantage… V12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got me a few new fast toys to tune up. The leaf is staying in the truck, but the rest of these cars are cool. The old volkswagon might be an interesting drive if it’s premium.
    That test track will be a godsend to topspeed tuners like me… Redbull/Veyron anyone?

    My biggest GT5 dream is to drive the Lamborghini Diablo and McLaren F1 GTR Longtail Road Cars on the Autobahn as a track. GT5 not GT6.

    I would like to see the “favorite” car list extended in the next update, cause for me 100 cars in the favorites is few.. Someone send this idea to polyphony digital, i apreciate it. Thanks

    Hey 70hemi, the CTS-V isn’t the fastest sedan in the world. That title belongs to the Porsche Panamera Turbo!!
