The sixth installment of Gran Turismo was officially launched at Silverstone race track yesterday. Featuring “new levels of authenticity” as well as new tracks and cars Gran Turismo 6 will also offer new levels of realism thanks to a partnership with Yokohama and KW Automotive. Sony says the two companies acted as technical development partners for the game’s new physics engine.
Among many cars that have been carried over from the previous generation gamers can also look forward to having access to the likes of the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, Alpine A110 1600S, Ferrari Dino 246 GT, KTM X-BOW R, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3, and, of course, the Audi SportQuattro S1.
In a statement Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi said “We’re pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments. I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will be only the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!”
