Sorry if this has already been answered, but how do we know the Maserati GranTurismo shown in the E3 trailer (and anywhere else) is the S model?
I'm just curious about it
We saw the back of the Maserati in the GT5 E3 trailer and check out the exhaust pipes. The GT S has only 2 but they are big while the GT has 4 small ones.
And look at the license plates. It says 'Gran Turismo S'

Well I have no idea of the validity of this or where they got their info, but ClassicCarsForSale.co.uk have the following article on their website
Classic cars take prominent role in new game
An eagerly-anticipated new computer game will allow console fans to get behind the virtual wheel of a number of iconic classic cars, it has been confirmed.
Gran Turismo 5, which is set to be released towards the end of the year, is the latest in a hugely successful series that has sold over 53 million units since December 1997.
According to its official website, "the world''s hottest cars from car manufacturers all over the globe, both past and present, have been gathered".
Among the 1,000-plus models gamers can choose from will be a 1950s Facel Vega HK500, a 1960s Jensen CV8 and a 1970s Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint Veloce.
Classic car fans will be able to take their historic vehicles for a spin in 20 locations and 70 lay-outs in Gran Turismo 5 when it hits the shelves on November 2nd.
Last month, Daily Telegraph motoring expert Jasper Gerard described the Facel Vega HK500 as the "best car you''ve probably never heard of".

I just hadn't seen those cars mentioned in regards to GT5 before, and if indeed its true, a Facel Vega looks ...interesting
If Facel Vega makes its way into GT5 ( with Jensen already appearing in GT4 ) I'll be, how do I put it, extremely happily surprised.
It's one of my favourite brands and although not well known ( neither were a lot of other brands in GT4 to most casual players I guess ) this glamourous Chrysler V8-powered French GT deserves to be featured in this game in my opinion.
I'll hold my horses though for now until final confirmation ( or extremely big surprise when I finally fire up GT5 ).
"The exclusive styling and prestigious aura appealed to royalty and other notables - the star-studded list of owners is a miniature "Who's Who", with a shah, a king, ambassadors, princes and presidents, Danny Kaye, Tony Curtis, Francois Truffaut, Brian Rix, Ringo Starr, Lionel Bart, Joan Fontaine, and Ava Gardner (who had no less than three). To complete the grande routière image, great racing figures of the time such as Rob Walker, Maurice Trintignant and Stirling Moss, used Facels to cover the distances between the race tracks of Europe at high speed in comfort and safety."

and the Vanquish and DB9
...and the One-77, V12 Vantage, & Rapide.They need the DB5....and the original V8 Vantage from one of the other Bond movies...and the DB7.
Great news if it's true
I can't wait to hit the track with one of these!
Indeed, we don't need yet another wishlist thread!Oh and SrRd RacinG, that compiled added wishlist is seriously flawed, the fact you chose the Merak over the Bora ( the Merak was basically a poverty version of the Bora with a V6 instead of the Bora's V8 ) probably says it all.
Appreciate the effort but I don't believe it's even approaching accuracy.
A wishlist is a wishlist, no matter how you spin it!Don't give me that wishlist garbage comment.
Most of those cars are very plausible.
Sure not all are, but that's why I said "speculated".

It cannot be a wishlist when some of those cars have been mentioned by KY himself (HSV, CR-Z, LF-A).
Again, the list is based off manufacturers we have confirmed and their likely premium cars, new manufacturers PD has hidden from us and a few oldies cars.
And at the end of the day, you love my list. Or at least like it.
Oh come on it's a wishlist alright, the fact all those added cars include some of your own long campaigned favourites says it all.
And the fact most of these new Premium cars are at the higher end ( or to be frank mostly supercars ) doesn't lend it more credibility either as the "confirmed" ones include a lot of normal cars as well.
And some of those brands are just highly unlikely ( some unfortunately so, others rightfully so in my opinion ) to make an appearance in GT5....
