Think they mentioned it takes months to do 1 car or maybe it was 1 track can't recall. Honestly I think the timing is about right since it was taking them 2-3 years on the PS2 it must be 4-5 years for the PS3 to do what they want.

If I recall correctly it was 180 days to make one GT5 car.

I did a google search for 180 days gran turismo this is what i found

* Yamauchi said for GT1, one car was one day’s work for one man, GT3 was one man’s work for 30 days, and GT5 one car is one man’s work for 180 days!

for one man. I'm sure there are a couple of teams with 3 or 4 men.

 And this is why Nintendo will win over developers in the longrun.  That kind of detail and work required is not sustainable from a business development standpoint.
