Hello Blog Readers and GT Fans! I enthusiastically return to the blog with very good news. Hitting on our promise to continue to evolve the GT series, a new update for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is NOW available. This update adds three new vehicles to the game’s line-up, plus a number of gameplay and performance enhancements we think you’ll be excited about. Here we go…

New Vehicles
All three vehicles and manufacturers have special ties to Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital. They will be added to their respective Dealership areas in GT5 Prologue.

GT by Citreon - The “GT by Citroen” concept car is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between French automaker Citroen and Polyphony Digital. The formal debut of the vehicle took place yesterday at the Paris Motor Show, coinciding with the release of today’s update to the game. A video of the “GT by Citroen” can be viewed in HD within Gran Turismo TV.

Check out the screenshots below and for photos, follow this link.

The two other new cars are the Ferrari California and the Lotus Evora. They are a lot of fun to drive. For a look at these sexy vehicles, check out the images below.

The GT by Citroen is available for 1 Million credits; the Ferrari California will go for 300,000 credits the Lotus Evora for 100,000. Piece of cake, right?!?

GamePlay Enhancements
We’ve also added some great new gameplay enhancements to continue to improve the racing experience in GT5 Prologue. This includes changes to the penalty system; specifically, during Time Trial events, speed penalties have been removed, and instead incurring such a penalty now invalidates the lap time for that particular lap. Race events are also being updated, with tweaked difficulty levels and increased earnings for winning a top spot. Additionally, improved responsiveness when using the wireless controller, and improved sound volume balance for sound effects and music for a better racing experience. Drift Trial races have also been changed to feature a rolling start.

Disclaimer Note Here: Rankings, arcade time trial times, drift trial records, as well as vehicle-specific quick tune settings and custom key layouts will all be reset with the new update. Replay data created before the second update will no longer be viewable after this update. To confirm the version you have before updating the game, check the in-game manual.

That’s it for now, folks. I’ll see you on the track….

Wow, that was quicker than I expected! Love that the California and Evora are available, too! Never been a Ferrari fan, but the California looks like a great open-air GT car.

Shame that more drastic measures to improve online play weren't taken though. I really want private games and friend invites

Curious as to exactly how the controller responsiveness has been changed, hopefully it doesn't throw off my balance.

The California is here? Hot-diggity damn!

Still agreeing with CA36GTP, there should be an option to set up a race with friends !

The Citroen looks better in-game then it does in real life lol.

1,000,000 credits - this is what has made me a little less excited. I wasn't expecting any more cars so I've spent all my Cr on other stuff and I'm not sure if I can handle going around Daytona oval again that many times. I will, I'm just not sure when.

damn. why cant grand turismo 5 be on wii or ps2 or pc or mac. please somone tell me

they are starting to kill off the ps2 (not releasing a lot of new games to it)...so gamestop tells me. and they say the ps2 couldn't handle the graphics of the game anyways. not sure about the wii, pc, or mac...

I'll be waiting for the full version....

The Class A Daytona race is worth 35,000 for 1st place now, so at least it's a lot easier to grind away for money to buy cars.

I just bought an Aston Martin DB9, a Ford GT, a Ferrari California, and a Lotus Evora.

Is anyone else having any problems d/ling this? I was trying for ages last night but it kept failing at a 1/3 through the bar.

When I restored the d/l it started from the beginning again, which aparently it shouldnt do.

Who has driven the GT by citroen?

And what engine has it got in it. because when i drove it, i had like a big jet engine thing in it and it goes like stink.

I don't think the concept has a real powertrain, PD just made it go as fast as it looks, I guess.

 PC or MAC should be able to handle GT5. On the Wii, it would probably look more like Gran Turismo 3 and 4, since its just a repackaged Gamecube. If it were to be released on PC, it would probably overthrow Crysis as the game nobody can run yet.

i cant update my game, always says, error, why???

I was having this problem too, I just got rid of the cached data and tried again and it downloaded, I cant quite remember how I did it though.

Every update I've ever tried to download for this game fails with an error

It saves the downloaded data before the error though so when you restart the download it will pick up where it left off. It might look like it's starting again as the progress bar is empty but it's actually continuing from the last point that the error occured. Just keep trying, eventually it will get the full 100% DL'd.

nice=]

this update came out a while back now, and this thread is still going lol. The update was pretty dam good, i got the ferrari california upto 212mph :D fastest car i own hehe
