    Im pretty sure i saw a Preimum Cizeta V16T “94 (had to load GT5 to get the name) but i recognized the dual popup headlights

    2. HuskyGT

      Then PD heard my prayers!! XD I’ve been wanting that car in Premium form so much! They didn’t have to, because it’s not a very well known car, but they did. It makes me happy and I will enjoy that car so much!

  10. SavageEvil

    Saw the Cietza V16 premium along with Shelby Daytona and other sweet rides stuffed into GT6 video including that white and black car(anyone know what that is?), saw some new Le Mans LMP’s. Looks like we also get concept cars from a host of manufacturers once again. I must find that video and go through it with a fine tooth comb to see what new autos are in there, I think I saw that BMW Z the original one from that Bond movie. Can’t wait to dive head first into GT6.

  12. HuskyGT

    Pagani Huayra!! Koeniggsesgg (however you spell it)!!!! Man… This keeps getting better… And it goes out a day after my birthday XD

  13. COUNTERSTEER123

    I wasn’t expecting a bunch of NEW cars in the trailer. Now I hope they don’t delay the release date.

    2. HuskyGT

      I’m a super huge BMW fan… I can certainly say I didn’t see that one coming. Just imagine if they managed to get the Z8 in the game, I feel confident than at least one of the older M3’s or M5’s is going to make it there too.

    5. LeZarathustra

      i know i saw Zagato and i think i saw Bertone too… damn!!
      luckily we’ll have Zagato’s Astons!

  32. COUNTERSTEER123

    “BREAKING NEWS: THE GRAN TURISMO WEBSITE IS UNDER MAINTENANCE.” Hmm…seems like they’re up to something at gamescom.

  33. CodeName

    EA conference’s over. I hope we’ll learn more from sony’s conference compared to what we learnt from EA…

  35. nkdkdd

    Gran Turismo has a lot of features and cars. In my opinion, what the game needs to be perfect is better sound.

  36. JDmsz

    Kaz always be like, “We working on it in the future” or “It will be in the future” he always saying about things in the future. What about now?

  37. z71L28

    Ruf’s premium, Infinion raceway are #1 high on priority wish list. So far I’am not that excited with content.

    1. pasigiri

      Spoken like a true American! JK

      Seriously though, I’m not but there are a few looking. That new Merc GLA and Evoque would be nice though.

    2. pasigiri

      To all those people who keep screaming Porsche, let me correct your request:

      More recent, late model RUFs.

    6. masterrawad

      -a wider array of tuning parts and options

      -some official trading system (sick of being ripped off, it’s a pain in my arse)

      -A better track editor that includes scenery placing options, starting line location, elevation change, etc

      -Also requires you homologate the track with cars of various horsepower and size

      Just to name a few.

    7. research

      no masterrawad, you are not alone. Take GT5’s car list, throw in a decent livery editor- now we have infinite machines to thrash. Add in the ability to create Events (racing seasons, drift tourneys, drag tourneys, rally weekends, autocross, etc..) and we now have infinite ways to thrash them.

      It’s been stated (though, things have been stated before that never come true) that Cars, Tracks, and Updates will be steadily flowing through the pipeline after game release, so whoever whines about a lack of certain cars should be dismissed from class, and have their mother called to come get them.

    GT6? Well let’s see. I know for a fact PD will not get a single cent from me as im not going to waste it on a slight updated GT5 which in theory should have been what GT5 is now.. I’ll wait till GT7 and that’s it, i do not see the point in wasting money on it. Same goes for FIFA 14 from EA. I will not waste money and support a developer twice for nothing. GT7 will be out when it’s out and that’s good enough for me. I understand fanboi’s are going to probably go nuts over what i said but don’t waste your time please as this is my own personal opinion nothing more or less. Keep the kiddie shiet to yourself

    1. TokoTurismo

      The thing is, no one isn’t going to waste their time on you because why should they? Your post isn’t THAT importent, so, who cares?

    2. Nurburgthing.

      Hope it was worth the effort posting this….. 0 people care.

      Enjoy whatever it is you enjoy. You’re the “kiddie”, your toys are out of the pram.

  46. XPOWER180

    Too many boring people keep stating they want Porsche in the game. Well i want Elle McPhereson making me breakfast every morning and seeing to my needs at night but it’s not going to happen, EVER. Get the message people and come up with something original.

    2. Pit Crew

      Porsche in GT6 is feasible? How do you figure? Porsche in any GT game won’t be feasible until EA is out of the picture.

      Thought this blog was for the Gamescom live stream, not a Porsche in GT6 wishlist. Many of you just set yourselves up for disappointment, constantly begging for Porsche when the information on why PD nor T10 can’t get the sub license is out there.

  47. sibbystiggy

    Guys all these new 7 tracks that will be in GT6 along with all the 1s from GT5 are already revealed…

    From gameplays:
    silverstone
    Barthurst
    Goodwood
    willow springs
    Matterhorn

    from trailers:
    Seattle
    Apricot Hill

    I’m a little disappointed at the very low number of new tracks that will be in GT6 from GT5, in the past for e.g. GT4 has had sooo many more tracks! maybe GT6 will eventually have as many or even more tracks however, it will take our money along with it….
    There are enough cars in GT5 to entertain me for another 3yrs tbh, but new cars are always good but its the tracks I want to drive all these amazing cars on.

    & is it just me or does GT5 have more track variations then GT6???? can anyone confirm this?

    2. sibbystiggy

      Sorry, that track was only seen being scanned, however there is a possibility that some these tracks are future dlc and there will be different tracks coming with the game

    1. XPOWER180

      When will people get the message – Porsche will never be in GT?! Do people not read anymore and just go through life by their own imaginations and wish lists?! Change the record.

    1. sibbystiggy

      aw man, id love to see that at gamecom, it is gonna be the best track on GT6!
      I hope it comes with the game & not as a some late future DLC after alot of other things

  53. Widebodyruf

    The old vector from gt2 would also be sweet, whatever happened to the old vector, why put the car in the game and then remove it when u make a new series, that goes for tracks also

    1. MeanElf

      Well, because people also want new cars and tracks. It’s the hope that the DLC will give us back the olds tracks and cars, though that is still speculation until confirmed.

  54. Widebodyruf

    I want new ruf’s rt12 new ctr, even the SUV, if u can’t give us Porsche, then for goodness sake give us more ruf’s kazunori

  57. pidevildog07

    Maybe a driver for the g27 allowing sequential shift? Im not trying to rip apart my wheel in the hopes that rewiring will work.

    1. KFM

      Well, that’s a hardware issue, though. For example, when you shift into 3rd the stick stays in gear and doesn’t revert back to neutral, you would have to manually return the stick to the neutral position every time you shifted.

    2. MeanElf

      I think that is more likely to happen at the Tokyo Game Show in September – I’ll be happy to be proven wrong though :)

  59. BobbyBRAKEaNek

    I can’t wait to hear more about GT6, just did my preorder today….
    “I can’t wait, I can’t wait…”

  64. MiniMii500

    one of the biggest thing I hope to see is the introduction of Porsche to the franchise. At this point I don’t feel that just RUF will cut it. I also hope the gap is filled between the Ferrari F40 and the Enzo with the F50

    2. NoizeboyMugen

      As optimistic as I want to be it won’t happen. One because of course EA games has a contract with Porsche and two because if EA did decide to let PD put Porsches in GT5 the price PD would have to pay EA to let them do it would be expensive as hell lol. But still it would be nice to have them in the game.

    3. Swagger897

      If I believe so, Porsche dropped EA in a silent case, as they weren’t catering to their market needs… That article might be on jalponik or however its spelled..

      On a second note, I’d rather never have the F50 in the game. The car was terrible, engine sounded terrible. Horrible transmission linkages to engine caused for low revs when they wanted F1 style car. Shoot, the whole car was to be a road going F1 but its not, and never will be…

      I’d take the F12 over any new Or old Ferrari…. (But I really want the R-18)

    5. Pit Crew

      @ Swagger897 Can you provide a link to that article? All I see in jalopnik are old stories from when EA denied Turn 10 the Porsche license for Forza 4.

  66. ChicoMaloXD

    I hope they present the actual game features. Not just talking and promises they’ve been doing for the past 8 years.
    The game has rims, wings and body kits? Don’t say it, just show them.
    New Course Maker locations? show them.
    Standard Cars? Livery Editor? New community features? Just show them.
    Don’t do like you did with GT5…

    1. Tenacious D

      Actually, we learned way too much about GT5. We had the full car and track list months before release. I’d rather they do like GT4’s release and leave a few details until we open the box and pop it in the oven.

    2. Traviizter

      @Tenacious D
      What’s the point? We already know 1000-odd of the car list in GT6 due to the carry over from GT5, same with tracks really. I can’t imagine a lot more features to be honest.

    1. Tenacious D

      Bathurst?? A track we already know about?? I’d much rather know about tracks we DON’T know about. Details we don’t know about. Has it occurred to anyone that we still don’t know if we’re getting used cars again, just as with the pre-release of GT5? I don’t think we learned that until GamesCom either.

      There are SO many things to be revealed yet! What online will be like. What those online championships are. What user created events are possible, the “club and league creation” thing. How far customization will go. What the Standard cars and tracks will be like. What Race Mods will be possible, and will there be a Livery Editor? An Event Maker to go with the Course Maker? Photo Mode enhancements. SO many questions… I LOVE IT!! ;D

    2. Tenacious D

      By the way, it sounds like I want to know everything, but I’m just pointing out that we have a universe of details yet to be revealed. And I do hope Kaz holds back details like he did with GT4, when we didn’t know every little detail until we played the game. I love surprises. ;-)

    1. Tenacious D

      Just what I was thinking. The bandwidth is usually very good. I’ll have to work tomorrow though…. meh. ;P
