Toyota 86 Appears in New Gran Turismo 5 Video Trailer

Gran Turismo 5 Videos November 30th, 2011 by Jordan

The new “Toyota 86″/”Toyota GT-86″/”Scion FR-S” (or whatever the car is being called today) was officially revealed today at the Tokyo Motor Show.

To celebrate – and possibly foreshadow what’s coming to GT5 - Polyphony Digital has just launched a brand new trailer showing off the car in the game. You will notice an unusual-looking city circuit in the background: it actually appears to be a barrier-free configuration of the Rome City circuit.

Kazunori Yamauchi posted messages to Twitter announcing the new video, but offers no further information as to when we’ll actually be able to drive the virtual car for ourselves. With a pending GT5 update and a suggested DLC due-date of late December, expectations will certainly be running high come Christmas.

    I wonder if getting rid of a track load of barriers on certain tracks would allow better shadow rendering ?.
    and the photomode areas with 2 cars looks pretty cool. as for the car i dont like it, back end is too much like the Z4M for me.

    I don’t if anyone ever mentioned this (yes we do have a runway/airfield track, top gear test track), I would love to be able to drive around that redbull Hanger, on the runway, down that driveway bit and maybe even inside? A NIGHT TIME RUNWAY DRAG STRIP MAYBE? sick.

    I doubt we will have barrier-free Rome track. For example if you look closely the driver doesn’t wear safety harness or helmet. So … yes maybe we will have the car but track … meh.

    The rear fender bulge of the gt86 is terrible. I prefere the BRZ.

    My favorite part of this video is that they removed the super severe aliasing around the cars that you get with tire smoke, snow, and dirt. At least they didn’t label it as “in-game” content.

      They rendered it in higher settings. So you don´t see any pixelation and antialiasing.

    The background @ 0:58 doesn’t remind me of any area in GT5… And I haven’t played the older games, so I don’t know if its an area from GT1 – 4, or if its something hinting at the new content, OR it IS something from GT5 that I don’t recognize…

    how disappointing that the gt86 and all it variants look just like a hyundai genesis coupe. what a shame…

    I care more about the barrier free configuration of the Roma Circuit drifting would be so fun!

    I hope this is a sign of Toyota focused DLC. Toyota got the shaft when if comes to premium models. I would love to see premium models of all the generations of the MR2. Oh, if only… :(

      I would also like to see the return of the Momo Corse MR2 GT300 car. Yet another dream that will probably never come true…

    Awesome video! Love the part where they show a kind of X-ray of the car from front to back. Well done Polyphony!!
