I've seen that you can earn that special GTR in a certain GT academy seasonal event. However, I own the regular copy of GT5, does this mean I can't obtain this car?

Thanks.

Also, it's this car i'm talking about:

When you buy the GT5 Collector's Edition for around $120, that car is included in addition to a couple other things such as a manual and key fob.
 
I trust you mean the in-game version?

In this case, you can get it. You just have to sign up for the competition on the Gran Turismo website and do at least one run in the time trial in game (after you have been verified) and when you come out to the home page you should have the car.

For the model, I don't know where you could get it. Probably ebay.
 
The model I posted was supposed to be showing the car I was after in the game, not a very good example on my behalf.

But thanks for the answers, I appreciate it. Going to try it now.
 
Sadly no, it doesn't work like that. It will know you're from USA if you had a EU account anyway.
 
I wasn't aware this GTR livery was available at all; does anyone know if this is available for the US release?

edit: looks like I got my answer above. Posted a minute before me. =p
 
Europe only. Well, not all of it since I'm in Europe but can't enter the comp :(

Well that's just unfair. Hopefully they bring it to Aussie's later because I don't see why Europe should get privileges over the rest of the world.

South America, Mexico, Canada and all the smallest countries of Europe were screwed, so will probably Asia, Australia & NZ. This is marketing dude, it's not supposed to be fair.

PD posted that they were going to try to "somehow" get the car to all of the U.S. GT Academy participants.

Or you can get a UK PAL disc and pretend you're from the UK. I have NA & UK discs and so far I've been covered for all cars released. No need for the Asia disc yet.

** Note that the region specific cars are in separate garages. No way to merge them so far. Loading each disc gives you a different save and even different online profile.

I didn't think there was money involved. Also it isn't really going to cost them if they put this out to everyone around the world.

Yes, USA and Canada has our own Nissan GT Academy now. I believe North America's round 1 just ended Jan 23rd.
 
That's a different skyline, which isn't the one i'm looking for.

Just so we're sure what it looks like, the EU Special GT Academy GT-R SpecV '09

The Regular GT Academy SpecV '09 (Super License All Gold prize)

The GT-R GT500 Stealth DLC (for comparison purpose)

Yup, wouldn't mind a copy of the Special version, the livery looks nice for photo sessions 👍

Sadly it's only for Europe :(

Hopefully they bring something great for Aussie's and other regions that are missing out.
