Polyphony Digital: GT5 to feature 10,000 cars

Around the start of July, Polyphony Digital studio head Kazunori Yamauchi hinted that Gran Turismo 5 would feature around 700 cars. But instead of throwing all of them together in the game's initial release, the studio was planning to gradually upload most of the vehicles as downloadable content.

Sony further added to this info earlier by stating that GT5's initial release will carry 340 cars. What makes this news startling is that the company further noted that a further 10,000 - yes, ten thousand - cars are expected to be available soon after the game launches.

Further adding to this already-staggering number, Polyphony also announced that for a special price, clients can also opt to have their very own cars developed (a bit like Forza Motorsport 2). An initial list is available over at the read link, although we'll be providing for a very small snippet here as well. Before you click on the link, you might want to put on your reading glasses - this could take a while.

# LIES — Guest 2007-07-31 17:57

LIES

# hope — Guest 2007-07-31 18:11

hopefully its true though i dont believe it. its about time that some holdens have been added to a game

# micro transaction... — Shatterdome 2007-07-31 18:20

10,000 cars * even 10 cents a car * millions of users equals....lot's of freaking money...

# YES!~ — Guest 2007-07-31 18:48

So long as it has the latest gen Toyota Celica, my favourite and current car, I'm happy. ^_^

# 10,000! — Guest 2007-07-31 19:28

WOW! I'll say it again.

10 *****ing thousand.

1,000 x 10 = 10,000.

ten + three 000 at the end.

11,000 - 1000 = 10,000.

ten, thousand.

# Imagine playing online — Guest 2007-07-31 20:09

and waiting for somone to go through 10,000 cars!

# hmm how do u play wit so many cars? lolz — Guest 2007-07-31 20:14

like the title says how the heck do u pick which car u wanna race with even if you had only 1000 cars to choose from that would still take u liek a long time to choose unless u had a few particular cars u liked alot hahaha 10,000 cars hmm i wanna see someone pick from dat list lolz three days later YES I FINALLY CHOSE MY CAR now onto the race for 5 minutes lolz

# *** — Guest 2007-07-31 20:20

Debunked. That came from a fan forum's website in a wish list thread:

# Link Don't Take You To The Correct Site — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2007-07-31 22:03

MeMyselfandI (Unregistered) is right. This does look like part of a wish list from people from gtplanet.net. I hope that it is true and there are that many cars coming to GT5. That would be a big hit!!!

# @ Shatterdome — na2rul 2007-07-31 22:04

Wots matter? Forza blown up ur XBob?

# well — na2rul 2007-07-31 22:05

i think too many cars r gna be redundant. I jus wana play it already

# probably 10000 combinations — Guest 2007-07-31 22:25

they probably mean 10000 combinations like colours and that

# gay — Guest 2007-07-31 22:26

but only about 20 are worth playing!

The rest handle like shopping trolleys.

# not official — Guest 2007-07-31 22:35

this is not the official car list...this is a copy from a wish list from gtplanet

http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t+95621

they are identical...lol

# . — Guest 2007-07-31 22:40

It was in GT4 as well...

# wow — Guest 2007-08-01 00:44

Posting a wish list as confirmed news? Jeez.. I guess its hard to ever have news on the PS3 site that isnt suckish but now you guys are making it up? Whats worse is your going to leave this article up forever so people will think its true. So when the game comes out and you have only like 40 cars to choose from you'll be damaging the games credibility, way to go.

# ? — Mister Common Sense 2007-08-01 01:54

Now they're just talking out their ass. Are they counting different paint schemes or tuning setups as seperate cars or something? The 340 number actually sounds realistic. They said it takes over a month to render each car. How long are they planning on adding more cars, and how dumb are the cars going to get? Do you want to race a 3 cylinder Geo Metro on a race track?

Will sony ever tell the truth?

# . — Mister Common Sense 2007-08-01 01:56

Can it go back in time to 1996 when Gran Turismo was an impressive, technologically impressive game? You don't even get damage modeling unless you pay extra to download it!

# Believe everything you read?? — Guest 2007-08-01 02:37

The link for the source is dead already. This is a pure BS article and should be taken down. 10,000 is more like to be the cost in yen for new content then the number of cars.

# Ohh — Guest 2007-08-01 03:49

Yes It was a with list... it says in the GT page ... :(....anyways 10,000 O.o!

# typo? — Guest 2007-08-01 06:09

maybe it was a typo or mistake?

GT4 had 714 cars, maybe they meant to say GT5 would have 1000?

# ... — Guest 2007-08-01 06:23

GT5 is more technologically advanced than any other racing game. It's doesn't have car damage, but so what? I don't really want it, because it's much more fun without...

By the way, why do you always get 1 or 2 stars rating?

# ... — Guest 2007-08-01 06:25

For GT5 it takes a month to develop a car, so it wouldn't be possible for it to have 1000...

# If by 20,000 — Guest 2007-08-01 16:01

You mean 300 you are correct.

# 1st 1st 1st 1st — Guest 2007-08-01 16:57

Ist Haha im first

# 340 — Guest 2007-08-01 17:05

didnt grand tourismo 4 have more cars than that. i think its perfect that you have to buy damage for your cars not everybody wants it. the whole idea of racing isnt seeing how much damge you can put into your car an experience driver would avoid that at all cost if you wanted a sim. 10000 seems a lot maybe they added a zero by accident 1000 cars seems a lot better thats way too much time to go through cars plus dude you never finished the 6 hr race in GT aspect 3 omfg never again.

# Uhhh.... — ck 2007-08-01 22:48

This whole "paying to download damage" thing people keep whining on about is a bunch of crap.

Learn to read, then learn to think about what you've read. Then learn not to be such drama queens.

What Polyphony said was:

1. Damage modelling *could* be a downloadable feature

2. There will be downloadable content (cars/tracks/etc.) available for purchase after the game ships.

What they did *not* say was that all the downloadable content will cost money. It's quite likely, almost probable, that if a game feature like damage modelling is added after GT5 goes gold, it will be free.

You can have a cry about it if it somehow turns out not to be free. Until then, STFU.

# 10,000 cars is just 1,000 in 10 colours... :) — Guest 2007-08-04 18:25

On behalf of GTCenter eu, we would like to apologize for the GT5 car list, it had turned out that the list that was sent to us was a fake and is not provided by Sony, but rather a mere Wishlist.
