A new screen that shows us that Polyphony is constantly working on making GT5 leaps and bounds better than GT5 prologue.
Rest assured any delays are put to good use.
Here's a shot of Fuji Speedway from GT5 Prologue.
And here's the same shot but from GT5 (latest build?)
Texture work around the track is noticeable as well added geometry (flowers, etc..)

GT5 MotorTrend interview (new details)
Any EVs and hybrids included?
Yes, definitely. Prius and Tesla will be included, as well as some others in the mix.
Like the new Hondas, the CR-Z and HSV-GT.
We're working on both cars right now, actually. The LFA too. There are plenty of cars being built as we speak.
We've heard rumors of a track editor. Any comment?
At this point, it's just a rumor. So you'll have to see. (It must be noted, he said so with a smile, leading us to believe that some sort of track editor is in the works for the new game.)
What are some of the features your most excited about releasing to the public?
With GT5, we're striving to redefine the racing game that we started with GT1. The game as a whole is completely new. But online functionality has to be at the top. We've worked so hard on it and we're hoping it's a hit.
Will users be able to set up car clubs and racing leagues?
Yes, they will. But I'm sorry but I can't elaborate much at this point.
Are you headed to this weekend's Tokyo Auto Salon?
Yes, my team and I will be there. We're planning to have one of the biggest GT5 displays we've ever built. There will be more manufacturer agreements announced there as well. It'll be a great show for us.
