About time we had an Olds in a Gran Turismo game. Thanks, Jay Leno! If I remember correctly, this thing had around 1000 hp.

Thanks anyway
This is one of the best media blowouts I have ever witnessed. It's like a sensory overload. So much to be excited about.

The lack of Nissans is encouraging. GT7 will probably be my favorite game of all time or the last GT game I ever play. They have been pulling us along for at least 3 full title releases and even more teaser milestones if you count all the promises in between prologues etc. I like the eccentricity of PD and Kaz. It was charming and essential to the franchise's success. However, I feel like they really lost the plot this last gen, lost sight of what is really important and what made GT the king for so long.
They have the balls to the wall hardware this gen, they have the unwavering support of Sony, and they still have a very broad and passionate fan base. No more excuses. GT7 needs to be a bold new direction, not a timid iteration.

Interesting. It's missing and no mention of WRC cars, other than the old ones. Don't know what's up with this.
If you are talking about the abuse of drifting to go faster, it was a pretty hardcore complain and i believe they were awere of it after the academy. Trailbraking and drifted induced corners were an issue, i'm sure they were still tweaking back then.

Can't believe they didn't add Day/Night cycle to Suzuka.
They're not making the distinction any more.

As an old-time Gran Turismo fan ( albeit I didn't play GT5 that much ), I'm getting this.

Dynamic time change on a city track is probably very taxing. So much more lighting to deal with.
Anyway, here's some info from the site:
User Interface
Starting from the My Home screen where the game begins, the user interface has been thoroughly re-designed and refined, allowing essential all features to be quickly accessible and simple to use. The time taken to switch between screens has also been significantly reduced compared to Gran Turismo 5.
Career Mode
This is the main scenario mode of this game, where you begin from the entry level and gradually acquire higher level licenses. With a new system that allows you to progress by gathering a per-requisite number of stars, progress in the game can be matched to your skill. Many types of events have been made available: later in the game there are particular events where the weather conditions change continuously. There are also events that recreate the feeling of endurance races in a much shorter period of time.
Winning events will award in-game credits that can be used to purchase cars and parts.
Coffee Break
These are mini-games that appear between events in the Career Mode. There are many challenges that can be tried over and over again, such as a cone knockdown event inside a stadium, and eco-challenges where you compete for how far you can drive on just 1 litre of petrol.
Special Events
These Events are unlocked as you progress through the game. For example, you will receive invitations to the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, and you can look forward to even more events to be added in future updates.
Car Dealerships
All available cars are displayed under their respective manufacturers. There are no longer distinctions made between Premium and Standard cars as in the previous version of GT, but Standard equivalent cars will only have simplified cockpit views.
Featured
This is a dealership that specializes in cars recommended for clearing the Career Mode, cars by racing category, and cars that can participate in the online events. If youre looking for a particular car for a particular purpose, you can find it easily here.
Garage
Organizing and managing the cars you own in your Garage is now much more straightforward. You can also try out your cars on Free runs and change racing gear directly from this location. You can also store cars you dont normally use in a Stockyard, and transfer to your Garage when required.
Tuning Parts
Here you can purchase a variety of parts including tyres, suspension and brake kits, transmission, clutch and flywheels, exhausts, superchargers, nitrous and others using in-game credits and you can also tune engines and car bodies.
Custom Parts
Purchase aerodynamic parts and over 82 types (with 188 variations) of wheels using in-game credits. More custom parts will also be added in future updates.
Pit Service
Car wash, oil change, body reinforcement, body maintenance, and engine maintenance are all performed here.
Racing Gear
Racing gear for your in-game driver avatar can be purchased here using in-game credits. At launch there are 34 types of helmets (with 952 colour variations) and 28 types of racing suits (with 852 colour variations) as well as special racing gear sets modeled on racing gear of famous real life drivers.
Paint
In addition to car body paint supplied in the colour of the cars you have acquired, in the future there will also be special paint items that will be distributed in online events. In addition, it is also possible to paint wheels purchased in custom parts.
Stuff that will be added in future updates:
B Spec
The B spec mode is a mode where you give precision instructions to your driver as a race director. This popular feature from previous versions of GT will be added in a future update. Look forward to the new, more powerful B Spec mode.
Course Maker
This feature, available at a later stage through an update, will allow you to create your own custom tracks that can be driven in the game. Additionally, in another update we will add the possibility to generate a track by capturing the GPS coordinate data of a mobile app while you are driving that course. This GPS-generated tracks will be available in the game as playable content.
Data Logger
This feature allows you to analyse your saved replay data to show Speed, Engine RPM, Throttle Input, Gear Position, Steering Angle, etc. in a graphical format. This feature will be added in a future update.
GPS Visualizer
In a future update, we will add the GPS Visualiser. This is a feature that allows you to import Controller Area Network (CAN), used to regulate automobile systems, and GPS coordinate data from a real life car into Gran Turismo 6, and visualise the data as a replay in the game. The feature is planned to be compatible with the Toyota Motor Corporations CAN-Gateway ECU.

no seattle and el capitan, no premium opel seat and skoda, no more distinction between premium and standard cars but simplified dashboards, please not the black cardboard boxes again. Shouldn't they 've got rid of the former standard cars?
EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKS GODLY

I think Project CARS also has acurate sun and stars positions based on the date and time you enter in the game. All I know is iRacing is going to be the last racing sim I play that does not have day/night transitions and weather changes. It adds so much to the experience.
I just wish all tracks in GT6 supported time change. In GT5 I spent more time driving around the 24 hour versions of the Ring and Le Mans than all other tracks combined.

Polyphony haven't got the WRC license any more, the cars aren't on the list. Scrubs.
What are you expecting from them, though? To me it seems the team has a very focused vision that they've been expanding upon and improving to take further and further into a 'realistic' state, adding features and tech along the way, but keeping their focus. Are your expectations something that would change the franchise drastically? I wouldn't call their work timid, and I'd have bailed out already if I felt it stagnant. I'd bet on GT7 continuing to hone their own take on racing than flip it on its side.

Shame about the GPS course maker getting pushed to an update, as that looked pretty neat. Hopefully it finds its way out soon.
The rest looks amazing, though. Loving the car list and that moon.

Course Maker won't even ship with the game on day 1 - WTF?
It better blow my socks off with its creation tools when it arrives.

Let's dream together.. maybe it'll come true.
Possibly true but it is a shame. Tokyo would be fantastic at night.
Wow at those trailers. Looking forward to it.
To those port begging to PS4, I am sure there will be a GT Concept/Prologue whatever for the PS4 sometime next year, same as they did with the PS3. Perhaps even the full GT6.
But it makes no sense for Sony to bring this out on the PS4. The PS4 will sell 6 million boxes whether with or without GT6 for the fiscal year. GT6 will most likely sell also 6 million in the fiscal year, something unachievable on the PS4, at most 2 million (1 in 3 would still be a ridiculous high attach rate for a game).

GT5 was my most fun game this entire generation. After a couple patches[especially the one that added the PP system] it became insanely fun to race online. God!
And it seems as though they're keeping it intact and not messing with it too much at all.

An interesting bit about the Gran Turismo Arena Track:
Just different listings I think. Not sure what's happening regarding wheels on PS4, but I'm assuming PS3 wheels will work.
