At this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Polyphony Digital Inc. and Toyota officially revealed the Toyota FT-1 Concept coupe.

Owners of Gran Turismo 6 will be the first to test-drive the FT-1 after a free online update that will be made available tomorrow, January 14th. After downloading the update, a unique seasonal event featuring the Toyota FT-1 will be made available in the game. If you receive a bronze or better in the FT-1 challenge at Laguna Seca, you will receive the car. Drivers will also be able to purchase the vehicle from the Toyota dealership without having to complete the seasonal event.

Calty Design Research has worked with Toyota over the last 40 years, concepting some of the manufacturer’s most cutting-edge vehicles, including the FT-1. As part of the design process, Calty approached Polyphony and asked the prestigious video game studio to recreate the concept digitally as part of the design studio’s pitch to Toyota executives. Watching the concept car in the Gran Turismo game engine helped Toyota make the decision to build the concept model.

“Thanks to the amazing capability of the Gran Turismo game engine, gamers can enjoy a very real simulation piloting the ultra-high performance FT-1 on the tracks it was designed to master,” said Kevin Hunter, President of Calty Design Research.

Be among the first to drive the future of Toyota design tomorrow!

BTW they added BMW M3 interior with update v1.03 too.

On 13 January 2014, BMW announced the BMW M4 Coupé at the Detroit Auto Show.

In Gran Turismo 6, the BMW M4 Coupé was introduced earlier to the world with Update 1.02 (released in December 2013), making it possible to take the car for a virtual test drive. In the next Update 1.03 (planned for 14 January 2014) the interior of the car will be added to make the release complete.

Those who already have the car in their game garage will see their car updated automatically with a full interior. It is also possible to receive the car as a prize if you obtain a Bronze award or better in the Seasonal Event planned after this update.

Damn it, how large is the update? I've been hooked on don't starve. So i haven't been playing GT6 for a bit. Can't wait to try out that car tomorrow.

Looks awesome (like always)!! I have a feeling that all this new modeling is being done to the standards of GT7 and then being used on photomode for GT6. I hope this level of detail can be seen in the gameplay for the first GT on PS4 (GT7 prologue??) .

All recent models will be more than fine for ps4. These should be life time models. As never need to do another one again. 

Well, it looks like I'll be getting a new car along with a couple million from the seasonal event tomorrow since I still have the 200% bonus.

Just in time before I dive into online multiplayer. 1 more star to get, the last kart race has been eluding me.
The platinum trophy is a lot easier to get then GT5's. I still need to drive another 6k km, but that will happen by itself.

I still can't grasp how good this game looks on 8 year old hardware.
