McLaren MP4-12C, Murcielago SV & More in Top Gear Magazine GT5 Feature
Gran Turismo 5 and the Red Bull X1 Prototype have both been featured in the latest issue of Top Gear magazine, and the dramatic screenshot above introduces several important new cars to the game. Most notably, you’ll find the new McLaren MP4-12C, a Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the 1965 Alfa Romeo TZ2 (2009 winner of the Polyphony Digital Trophy at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance), the Lexus LF-A, and Philip Koenen’s 1970 Ford “Trans-Cammer” Mustang.
Thanks to Steve for the scan above (check out more from Southend Rage in our forums), and thanks to Mark for the shot of the Red Bull X1 feature!

Plenty new cars and still noone allowed to update the carlist. Are you sure you won’t re-open it? This issue should have been solved by now. I mean we are one of the biggest GT comunities. Many other pages refer to this list and we don’t update it anymore because of an argument?
-
November 5th, 2010 at 5:36 pm - #Prodigy122
I agree. I think it is time to get the car list going again.

I wish they can add a NISSAN GTR/SPEC V 2011 in the game.
-
November 5th, 2010 at 5:44 am - #James
Why there will already be 100 versions of the GTR in the game,We don’t need anymore and could survive with less.

I had a dream that I actually had GT5 and was playing it. It felt so real.. :(

November 4th, 2010 at 6:15 pm - #Sleepy-z
You know whats funny, I really want a nice interior view for my real life cars in the game but chances are when it comes down to actually racing I will use the bumper view, I never ever use the interior views.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 7:30 pm - #Magic Ayrton
I agree, but it’s just nice to flick through the view to remind you which car you are in.. I race in bumper view too 90% of the time.

BoBo back to his belligerent best I see.
I thought he’d been banned for being too stupid.

November 4th, 2010 at 5:04 pm - #Magic Ayrton
We know that we are getting Trial mountain etc…
-
November 4th, 2010 at 3:51 pm - #Magic Ayrton
I know you can make your own tracks, and that you can let the software create them for you, but I’m hoping we will have 20 New tracks plus all the old ones from the previous game… can anyone please confirm the latter?
-
November 4th, 2010 at 4:16 pm - #Mutimy
theirs over 70 tracks
-
November 4th, 2010 at 4:53 pm - #Foxiol
Please read information, we all know that in the game will appear 20 tracks with 70 variations…this for now…and track editor… 20 and maybe more if you do the math…by now we have this:
Road CoursesAutodromo Nazionale Monza
Circuit de la Sarthe
Daytona International Speedway
Eiger Nordwand Forward & Reverse [fictional]
Fuji Speedway F & GT
High Speed Ring Forward & Reverse [fictional]
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Nurburgring GP/F, Nordschleife, & 24H
Suzuka Circuit & Suzuka East Course
The Top Gear Test Track
Tsukuba CircuitOval Tracks
Daytona International Superspeedway
Indianapolis SuperspeedwayStreet Circuits
Circuito de Madrid
London Short Forward & Reverse, and Long
Piazza del Campo
Rome
Route 5 [fictional]
Tokyo Route 246Rally Stages
Toscana (circuit, snow/dirt)
19 so we didn´t see all of them…could be more than 20 or 30…do the math. -
November 4th, 2010 at 5:18 pm - #J-KiLLA24
@ Foxiol, they said that there are 20 different locations. Not tracks. Locations meaning were the tracks are e.g. tokyo,germany,usa etc. There are waay more than 20 tracks in the game then you also have the diffrent variations.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 5:32 pm - #DarthTurismo
yeah @foxiol you’re missing pretty much all the GT original tracks on your list…
The way i see it if he has 20 locations (ie countries) then we seriously wont know the actually total tracks until he finally releases this bad boy on us ;-) there are bound to be a few surprises or 3 lol
-
November 4th, 2010 at 5:56 pm - #Sigmaviper11
Maybe we’ll get lucky. 200 tracks total, for 200 or so premium cars only.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 6:08 pm - #Foxiol
yes…i know…”maybe” i said “maybe!!”"more than 20 or 30″ and for sure more than 70 included variations…all this stuff is not mine…but this tracks and trial mountain and a few more are the tracks that we all already know…i´m not the owner of the truth!! that´s only a comment. Nobody knows everything about the game…only Kazunori and at Polyphony…
I don´t or can´t believe that GT5 brings to us 200 tracks…that could be insane and to many of it useless…just a comment!! but we all hope that the best for sure will come in it: Spa, Hockenheimring (old), Nurburgring, Monza, Monaco…and maybe others from F1 competition will be ok for me too…(we know about some but not all of them yet). -
November 4th, 2010 at 6:33 pm - #Sigmaviper11
Idk. I’m not so sure 200 tracks would be useless. Although I won’t disagree it might start to feel a bit too familiar. Idk. I think about 150 to 200 total tracks could actually work without getting boring. And that’s total, so variation and locations included.
I think it might work. That’s just my opinion though. I mean with using streets and real tracks, it could get a lot more of those wanted tracks, and a lot more series tracks in there as well, like ALMS, Super GT, DTM and V8 Supercars venues.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 6:53 pm - #Foxiol
Agree with you.

November 4th, 2010 at 3:44 pm - #2011
First of all I would like to thank Sigmaviper11, yes, us Porsche people do have feelings hehe ;-)
I would be delighted if the whole RUF range was included, hell 90% would do (kaz) ! That would certainly satisfy my needs¬!
-
November 4th, 2010 at 3:39 pm - #ken_b
Oh and I hope I’m wrong!! I’d love to rip through the Ring in a 930 turbo or 917….
-
November 4th, 2010 at 3:39 pm - #ken_b
No Porsche, will be the same story with the GT series. RUF only. Damn licensing!!
-
November 4th, 2010 at 2:23 pm - #Sigmaviper11
To those complaining about Porsche, I just realized, RUF has a rather large list of cars that they offer. At least 7 or 8 different models based on older to newer Porsches and some electric prototypes. Unfortunately RUF has yet to rebuild a Carrera GT but here hoping to getting Gemballa and some of their modified Porsche’s and Ferraris. And Maybe Koenig and some of their Modified Lambos and Ferraris.
But if KY and PD can get the majority if not the full RUF line, hopefully it will satisfy the Porsche people. . . for now. I really want to take that RK and CTR-3 for a spin.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 2:42 pm - #HugoStiglitz_420
that’s dissapointing. I’m not too worried about seeing any single porsche besides the carrera gt
-
November 4th, 2010 at 3:04 pm - #momo
Hmm, I do have a feeling that Porsche could make it to this series of GT.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 4:10 pm - #Sigmaviper11
Never said RUFs are Porsche’s, nor am I a fanboy Bobo. So far theres only 3 cars I like from RUF and even so, I have issues with them. In the mean time, again, take it up with EA and Porsche. Personally an Ruf satisfies me. It’s not a Porsche. Performance wise, usually, its better. Porsche fanboys will never be happy till they get Porsche. That could be a while and in the mean time thats their problem. So yes, for the rest of us, RUF is in GT5 so everything is peaches.
@HugoStiglitz_420- Would really love to see the Carrera GT in GT5 but if it can’t be done, I’d happily settle for a Gemballa Mirage GT.
Hell, anything 9ff, Techart, Gemballa, RUF, or anything Porsche Tuner related is fine for me.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 6:31 pm - #HugoStiglitz_420
that’s actually what I meant. I just want to see any form of the carrera gt. 9ff, gemballa, anything. It’s the most important porsche related addition I think
-
November 4th, 2010 at 8:50 pm - #Sigmaviper11
On that note, I can, not entirely, be satisfied if we got a Carrera GT race car under the conditions that the street version is put into GT6 or GT5 via update/dlc. Basically, the same story as the mighty McLaren.

Sonystyle.com apparently says a release date of Nov.30, 2010, according to a couple of people. I couldn’t find it though. Really, really hope this is true. Anyone else hear about this? They said it just happened today or last night.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 1:30 pm - #Indibisible
I saw that release date on Nov. 2 on sonystyle.com you have to search for gran turismo then click on quick view then pre-order where the following message is displayed
“Model Number: PS398114
Available on or about 11/30/2010. We will email you when product ships”

This seems to imply that crashes are very dramatic on GT5 now. like burnout style O_o

what the fudgeee are they on the front 2 rows, right at the far sidee?

I am not sure if 16 cars on A-spec have been confirmed, but look at the text in the corner of the picture. Somewhere it says:
“That’s what happens when you attempt to stage a 16-car race on Top Gear’s test track.”
The writer was behind the wheel, which makes me assume it’s A-spec.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 9:24 am - #Shokz
We’ve seen around 16 cars on track at once in screenshots before so the whole “oh no, there might only be 8 car races” never held any water. I just wish there could be /more/ than 16 cars on track.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 9:59 am - #Spaghettimonster
i just wish there will be more than 20 tracks and 70 variations. why the heck would you want 1000 cars and only 20 tracks???
-
-
November 4th, 2010 at 8:00 am - #URABUS_09
Wether a car is premium or not does not bother me in the slightest, and is probably what caused the delays from the very beginning. Personaly I think they should have just left the premium concept for ALL of the cars in gt6. As long as the performance between standard and premium in a driving sence is not comprimised then I am happy
-
November 4th, 2010 at 9:16 am - #F.G.
Yeah, but if they did that, forums would explode with typical GT fanboy outrage.
I mean, can you imagine if NO cars in GT5 had cockpit views and all cars in Forza 3 did? Of course, if that happened GT fanboys would probably argue that cockpit views are not needed and GT is still the best, but in actual fact they’d probably cry themselves to sleep every night.
-
November 4th, 2010 at 2:45 pm - #HugoStiglitz_420
No FG is right. Only a fanboy would defend a lack of cockpit view. Every game now has it & GT claims to be “innovative” so how can you defend a major step backwards?
-
November 4th, 2010 at 5:14 pm - #Sigmaviper11
Cockpit view is a nice bonus. But considering the bumper view all this time. Idk. A lot of people like it, but just as many may never have a real use for it.

Maserati Mc (Silver) in the top row next to the VW van?
Or is it the GT?-
November 4th, 2010 at 1:55 pm - #Prodigy122
I was thinking the same thing. It looks like a GT to me.

November 4th, 2010 at 5:57 am - #twinspark24
Is this a Toyota Celica on 2nd row (left to right), 6th car from back to front?
Hasn’t it already been in GT series?
If yes- this would mean:
a) cars from previous series can actually become premium
b) there are not premium only cars in the picture-
November 4th, 2010 at 7:51 am - #nevelo
i’m pretty sure some of the best cars from previous series will become premium.
for exemple the Cobra ,if you remember,was “almost” premium in gt4.you could see the dashboard in the ghost car in time trial. -
November 4th, 2010 at 8:52 am - #jacoja06
twinspark24, The 6th Gen Celica GT4 rally car is Premium. It was actually one of the first premium models created for ‘Gran Turismo HD’.
It has been in all previous Gran Turismo games, including GT3 & 4. There are a number of standard cars already recreated as premiums for GT5. :)
