With only a couple of weeks to go until the first copies of Gran Turismo 6 start thunking onto doormats the world over, you might be forgiven for being somewhat confused by exactly what you’ll be getting if you’re planning to preorder the game.

A strange video has been posted to the official PlayStation France YouTube channel, which claims to show the unboxing of a “GT6 Ultra Custom Accessory”. It actually features a man opening a large black box which contains a bionic arm with “#GT6” printed on the skin.

GTPlanet was invited to test Gran Turismo 6’s new GPS Data Visualizer functionality during a special preview event at Willow Springs. As part of the event, I had the honor of being one the first members of the public to try out the new feature and to drive a version of the Scion FR-S equipped with a GT6-compatible ECU.

Yesterday, Mercedes-Benz offered a first peek of their Vision Gran Turismo project via an image posted on their Facebook page.

Last week, GTPlanet was invited to Willow Springs Raceway to try out Gran Turismo 6’s new GPS Data Logger functionality. We also got another surprise – the “full” version of the game was on display, and those of us at the event would be the first people outside of Polyphony Digital to get our hands on it.

In last week’s GT6 info blowout, a large collection of menu screenshots were released which show some of the game’s new features in action.
