Hey there. We just announced the ZR1 Corvette as our cover car, and now I’m back to announce of some exciting pre-order items that are coming soon.
Pre-order Gran Turismo, and you’ll get a voucher that will add one of the top cars to your in-game collection of cars in an exclusive color. This means that on day one, you’ll be able to smoke your friends in 4-player Ad Hoc Mode multiplayer races with one of these rare sports cars while they are just getting started saving up credits.
First up is the 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in the Black M color. Sporting a 16-cylinder engine with four turbochargers delivering over 1000hp, this is one of the most sought-after cars in the world, not to mention the fastest production car in the world. And by that, I mean it can do over 254mph.
Also available will be the 2002 Enzo Ferrari in Giallo Modena (yellow). With unmistakable Ferrari style and a 6.0-liter V-12 engine, this car should make it easy start racking up credits to start building your collection from the more than 800 cars in the game.
Next up is the 2008 GTbyCitroen in yellow. You may remember this concept car and its sleek, futuristic style from last year when it was announced at the Paris Motor Show. This car is the result of a close collaboration between Polyphony Digital and the French automaker Citroen. And now it’s making its way into Gran Turismo for PSP.
The fourth car that will be available is the metallic blue version of the 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec V. The new GT-R is one of the hottest cars on the market right now, complete with the in-dash multi-function meter designed by Polyphony Digital. The Spec V reduces overall weight and improves suspension and handling over the previous GT-R, making it even better for whipping around corners at high speeds. Now you can get this exclusive metallic blue color of the GT-R Spec V, on the PSP.
And last but not least is the classic 1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400 in Arancio (orange). Yes, that’s right. Lamborghini. GT fans know this is special, as it marks the first time Lamborghini has ever been in Gran Turismo. And as you can imagine, this won’t be the last Lamborghini in a Gran Turismo game, either.
And these are just five of the more than 800 licensed cars that you can drive in the game. Everyone who gets their hands on the game tells us that these cars look just amazing, speeding around the track at an unprecedented 60fps. Watch the official Gran Turismo website for more specific information in the coming weeks.
Don’t forget, Gran Turismo for PSP launches on October 1, 2009, available at retail and from the PlayStation Network.
Shouldn’t the European comments be directed at the EU Blog?
TELL MI SOMETHING WOnt it be better if they actially look like that in the game lol NO PUN INTENTED NO OFFEnCE to the GT Community
what happens now with those of us that will be getting the psp go and downloading the games off the psn? we dont get no goodies, we cant even preorder because we have no choice but to download :(
This question has been asked many times before but what about the PSP Go buyers. How do we get these things if we are going to get it off the PSN. Those are one of my concerns with digital downloads.
I have a question.These cars will be in the normal game too,or just for pre-order?
those are sexy cars! but i want grand turismo 5
Nice cars! wonder if GT5 or GT PSP will have the Honda Fit…hmm
I saw a Citroen parked in Montebello here in Cali recently. I was like what the heck is a car like this doing in this part of the city.
Awesomeness.. Hope I have enough Money to Get this Game on Day ONE!
@53
Me too. I want to know what´s going to happen to us picking the digital copy =( because i´m getting the Psp Go.
Pre-order Bonuses?? what if I wanted to get it off PSN?? Can I get a pre-order bonus? Much rather have this on MemStick
Where do I have to pre order from? What about if I wanna download from the store, can I still get the bonus?
Hey can you also take this happy time and confirm Porsches, Maserati, Koenigsegg in the game? :)
Don’t care. Gran Turismo 5 news please.
And for those of us planning to download the game…what?
Awesome…now i have to preorder that game just for that Veyron.
Do the bonuses come for any place we do our preorders from or is it only available for a specific place?
How much space will this game take up?
oh well, i mighht as well!
on more thing, the veyron is the 2nd fastest and goes up to 253 not 254.
Where do I pre-order this to get the cars? I want to buy this from the PSN store for faster load times. Let us purchase it on the store now, as a pre-order, then we DL the full game upon release. I will not support Gamestop.
I remember there was a Lamborghini in the japanese version of GT3, but it’s nice to finally be able to race with one. :D
Shocked, stunned, stupified, excited, amped, stoked, happy, too…. many… emotions….
Can I pre-order from the PlayStation Network? That’s how I’ll be downloading it, so you might want to think about that before pushing people to get the game in advance.
I’d like to be able to buy it, have it download and install automatically as soon as it goes live.
Not currently, but we are always exploring ways to enhance functionality. Please read my other reply for those like you who plan to purchase from the PSN.
