Rome, Madrid in New Gran Turismo 5 Trailer

Gran Turismo 5 December 25th, 2009 by Jordan

In a special Christmas-day surprise for GT fans, Kazunori Yamauchi has shown off two stunning new city tracks in a new Gran Turismo 5 trailer at the Asia Game Show 2009. We first heard about the brand-new Madrid circuit back in April of 2008, and now we finally get to take a look at it. We also get to see a new section of track from GT’s infamous digital version of Rome. There’s new footage of NASCAR and WRC events, a helicopter, and what appears to be a Gulfstream Jet (?!!?!) on a runway with a Mazda 787B and Audi R10. The clip is getting an even closer examination in our forums, so head on over there for more analysis.

Yamauchi’s presentation included several bullet points which you can see in the photos below, but they weren’t quite as revealing as the trailer (in other words, if you’re a regular reader here, you won’t see anything new). Regardless, this makes for a very pleasant and quite unexpected holiday surprise. Merry Christmas, everyone, and thanks to shagg_187 for being first to send this in!

    Or maybe overturning is some where between understeer and oversteer. 0.o

    That wasn’t an Audi, it was a Lexus IS-F Racing Concept car.

    I can only think of one thing that overturning cars might mean, you’ll be able to roll the car, and see the underside of the car

    Just wondering whether the clip with the Plane is the Top Gear test track?

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, if so, sorry for the double post =]

    hey did u guys see the tuned audi comin out of the garage without any sponsors, well…am just thinkin if thats part of the whole new customization kit, if it is, hot dangit! i want this game well the game would have come out in september but thanks to north americans and their desire to damage everything (no offense) they had to take another damn 5 months to try and implement damage but i have to thank them coz the damage is pretty realistic!

    Gulfstream Jet, and a heli + Runway + Audi R10 = Sebring.
    Sebring used to be an airport and still runs as one.

    Why did the track variations go down to over 60 instead of 70? Thats a bummer. Planned release is also another downer, probably won’t release in the states until next fall. It’s looking amazing though and I’m still keeping my hopes up.

    The quality and realism is really amazing…a close look into the final product. Yes..that was a Gulfstream corporate jet.

    Makes me think there will me missions on the top gear track like the show racing the plane or things like that they do on the show.

    Besides the the fact that the video was a pleasant surprise, does anyone know what song that was playing?
