I noticed that a brief how-to was added to the FAQ on page 1. Unfortunately, there are some absolutely
CRITICAL KEY steps and
OPTIONAL, BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED actions in the process that should be understood and followed to prevent mistakes and/or errors.

- IF STARTING FROM BEGINNING [V1.00], START AT STEP 1.
- IF STARTING FROM CURRENT GT6 PROGRESS IN [V1.01], BUT DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THE "SPECIAL VEHICLES" A MINIMUM OF 120,000 CREDITS TO PURCHASE THE BMW M4 COUPE IS REQUIRED OR THE GIFTED MERCEDES-BENZ AMG VISION GT TO SELL. START AT STEP 1. [DO NOT FORGET TO BACK-UP YOUR CURRENT PROGRESS FIRST ON A SEPARATE USB STORAGE DEVICE!]
- IF YOU ALREADY OWN ANY OF THE "SPECIAL VEHICLES" BELOW AND ARE CURRENTLY IN [V1.00]:
- BMW M4 COUPE [2074]
- ACURA NSX CONCEPT '13 [ACURA NSX CONCEPT '13]
- MERCEDES-BENZ AMG VISION GT [2055]
START AT STEP 12 [DO NOT FORGET TO BACK-UP YOUR CURRENT PROGRESS FIRST ON A SEPARATE USB STORAGE DEVICE!]
1. Insert disc.
2. Start GT6.
3. A prompt to download update v1.01 will appear. ACCEPT. DOWNLOAD. INSTALL.
4. After installation, GT6 will restart and a second in-game update prompt will appear. INSTALL.
5. GT6 will automatically start. Once inside the GT6 main menu, you have multiple options to "exploit".
6. You can earn 120,000 and purchase a BMW M4 Coupe, earn 1,000,000 credits to purchase an Acura NSX Concept '13 or the
BEST option is to accept the free gift of a Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT.
7. Accept the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT gift
BUT DO NOT GET IN THE VEHICLE! SUPER IMPORTANT! (WARNING! GETTING IN THE VEHICLE WILL CAUSE YOUR GAME TO FREEZE AT STEP 13!)
8. Press Start > Save game.
9. Press PS button > Exit game.
10.
[OPTIONAL. BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Create a back-up of the save game
(NOT THE SECOND FILE. THIS IS A SYSTEM GENERATED BACK-UP) via the PS3 Save Utility. Copy the save game to an external USB storage device.
11. Delete update v1.01 under "Game Data Utility" entitled "Gran Turismo 6". Press "Triangle" and select "Information" to confirm correct this file. The file should read:
Title: Gran Turismo 6 |
Created: |
Size: (VARIES) Approximately 1200 MB and up |
Version: 1.01. This may take a few minutes depending on the file size. Once deleted you may proceed with STEP 12
(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) or STEP 13.
12.
[OPTIONAL. BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Under XMB, go to "Settings", scroll down to and select "Network Settings", scroll down to and select "Internet Connection" and "Disable".
WHY? This will prevent accidental download of the v1.01 update when you start GT6 and intermittent prompts to download the v1.01 update during game play.
13. Start GT6.
This is where the fun begins!
14. Once in the GT6 main menu, scroll left and go to "Garage".
15. Now, depending on your vehicle choice in STEP 6, you will now sell the vehicle based on your choice. Go to "Car List" and select the appropriate "Manufacturer". The
BMW M4 will now be listed as a number code
[2074].
The Acura NSX Concept '13, strangely,
is the same name. The
Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT is now listed as a number code
[2055].
16. Select appropriate vehicle, scroll and select "Sell". Although the sale price is 333,993,856 credits, the maximum credit limit in update v1.00 is 20M credits. Select "Yes".
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN "HECK YEAH!" You will hear a "cash register" sound and 20M credits deposited into your account. (
FYI: The maximum credit limit in v1.01 is 50M credits).
17. Exit the garage. Once in the GT6 main menu, confirm 20,000,000 credits appear at the top right and press Start > Save the game.
18. Press the PS button and exit GT6.
19.
[OPTIONAL. BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Create a back-up of the save game
(NOT THE SECOND FILE. THIS IS A SYSTEM GENERATED BACK-UP) via the PS3 Save Utility. Copy to an external USB storage device.
20. Under XMB, go to "Settings", scroll down to and select "Network Settings", scroll down to and select "Internet Connection" and "Enable".
WHY? This will now allow you to re-download the v1.01 update when you start GT6.
21. Start GT6. The prompt to download the v1.01 update will appear. ACCEPT. DOWNLOAD. INSTALL.
22. After installation, GT6 will restart and a second in-game update prompt will appear. INSTALL.
23. GT6 will automatically start. Once inside the GT6 main menu, you have multiple options to spend your 20M.
OPTION 1 [BEST OPTION | MORE TIME CONSUMING]: Buy BMW M4 Coupe at 120,000 credits each. 20M will allow you to purchase 166 with 80,000 credits remaining to take the wife/girlfriend out for a dinner and movie. IN PARIS.
OPTION 2: Buy Acura NSX Concept '13 at 1M credits each. 20M / 1M = 20 NSXs.
OPTION 3: Buy Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT at 1M credits each. 20M / 1M = 20 MB AMG VGT.
24. Once your buying spree is complete, press Start > Save game.
25.
[OPTIONAL. BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Create a back-up of the save game (NOT THE SECOND FILE. THIS IS A SYSTEM GENERATED BACK-UP) via PS3 Save Utility. Copy to an external USB storage device.

27. START GT6.
This is where the your collection begins!
28. Once in the GT6 main menu, scroll left and go to "Garage".
29.
IMPORTANT:
Sell your "special" vehicles one at a time! Not all at the same time. For example: Sell [1] BMW M4 Coupe, now coded [2074].
30. Once sold, exit garage,
BUILD YOUR COLLECTION!
31. Once the 20M is used, go back to the garage and sell another "special vehicle".
32.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE COLLECTION BUILDING, REPEAT STEPS 27 and 28 ONLY UNTIL YOU HAVE [1] "SPECIAL" VEHICLE REMAINING TO SELL. SELL THIS LAST VEHICLE FOR 20M, BUT DO NOT BUY ANYTHING!
33. Press Start > Save game.
34.
AT THIS POINT, YOU NOW HAVE THE OPTION TO EXIT AND REPEAT THE PROCESS [STEP 9] OR STAY AND SPEND YOUR FINAL 20M!
35.

:: FOOD FOR GT6 "EXPLOIT" THOUGHT ::
BEFORE STOCKPILING YOUR GARAGE WITH HIGH-VALUE 20M VEHICLES FOR RESALE IN V1.01 AND ABOVE FOR 6M EACH, PLEASE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE WAYS PD/SONY MAY “FIX” THIS “EXPLOIT” AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
PD/Sony may lock your save game to the specific update version you are currently using. For example, if you download the update with the “supposed” fix to the “exploit", it is quite possible for PD/Sony to include code into your save game that would “lock” the save for use on that update version and above
ONLY, rendering you unable to sell the “special” vehicles and any other future vehicle/content in a downgraded update version [v1.00]. Thus, a back-up copy of your v1.00 save game for use in update v1.00 while
OFFLINE ONLY may be the only way to enjoy your new collection. If this were the case, a garage full of “special” vehicles would be worthless. If you absolutely must have the most current update version with all of the additional content PD/Sony has to offer, then buying all of the vehicles and upgrading them now may be the best and only option for maximizing the “exploit”. Also, it may be prudent to leave your bank account at the update v1.01 limit of 50M credits.
It is also quite feasible that PD/Sony may limit/disable sales of vehicles above a specified value. PD/Sony implemented this in GT5. Thus, the possibility is there. If this is the case, a stockpile of high value vehicles to be sold in v1.01+ would be rendered worthless. In my opinion, update v1.00 is the place to be if you intend to enjoy the majority of the vehicles, tracks and accessories GT6 has to offer without running the risk of your progress being patched. If you do not mind not playing online/multi-player or not installing future updates and all of the included future content thereafter that is. Unfortunately, with the lack-luster multi-player and online features, I am okay with that and fully content with staying in v1.00 for the remainder of the GT6 life-cycle.
Thank you for the garage full of cars and closet full of gear PD/Sony!
