I don't know how it might having 4-5 hundred cars eventually puts GT Sport in good light, GT6 had over 500 premium cars and they where able to add over 150 new premium cars.  The gap between GT6 and GT Sports is going to be greater then the gap between GT5 and GT6 and the game will launch with only 140 cars.  Forza Motorsports 5 got slammed hard for only launching with 200 cars but that game took less then two years to develop.  GT Sport will take more then three years to develop and will only launch with 140 cars.

I cant remember where i know this from, but according to Kaz the game was suppose to come out in 2015 or 16, but they had to scrap almost the entire engine except for the physic engine and build around it, and also the deals with FIA super license and some vision Gran Turismo Cars made the development slow. Although I agree its unacceptable that sony allows Kaz to take so much time  to delivere a game, while they close down Driveclub Studio for atleast launching a game, albeit broken but still sold really well. I think if GTSport underperforms sales wise, sony will have to take some harsh decision regarding the future of the series and the studio. Kaz is the last Ken in that Sony stable.

GT as a franchise sold so many copies that one game underperforming wouldn't get PD or Kaz in much trouble.  If two or three games in  a row would seriously underperform might be in a bit of trouble though.  Evolution Studios on the other hand never had a solid sales record so with the issues at launch it was a pretty easy decision for Sony to drop them even though most of the problems where fixed eventually and they delivered a lot of DLC for Driveclub.
