@darconi: The quote from Polyphony Digital about the cost of making car models for GT5 is in one of the links I posted. Here it is:

"In GT and GT2, both for PS1, a designer spent a day to model a car. In GT3 and GT4, for PS2, the same worker spent a month modeling the same car due to the increased amount of polygons. In GT5 for PS3, they require six months to do the same job," Yamauchi explained.

 

Six months just to model a car? It's a miracle GT5P ever got released at all...

They just need lots of artists working at the same time (and I suppose some cars are similar to other ones).
