An update for Gran Turismo 6 has been released. The following is a list of the main features implemented:

Vision Gran Turismo

The “BMW Vision Gran Turismo” has been released. Experience the modern road racer created by the BMW design team, resurrecting the excitement and passion of 1970’s touring cars in present day form.

Following in the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s, the BMW design team has created an uncompromising road racer for the modern era.
Crisp proportions and a dynamic silhouette give the BMW Vision Gran Turismo the appearance of speed, even standing still. Front and rear spoilers ensure optimum down-force, while all air conduction elements reduce drag and lower the vehicle’s total weight through the use of carbon fibre.
The paint finish in BMW M colours traces the flow of the airstream, recalling BMW Motorsports successes.
The technology in the BMW Vision Gran Turismo is just as impressive as its uncompromising design. A powerful three-litre six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology delivers a maximum power of 404 kW/541 BHP between 6,200 rpm and 7,300 rpm. Its peak torque of 680 Nm/69 kgfm is developed at just 1,900 rpm. A sequential six-speed transmission, operated by gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, distributes engine power to the driven rear axle.
The outstanding performance characteristics of the BMW Vision Gran Turismo, which weighs only 1,180 kilograms, include perfect 50:50 axle load distribution.

After the update has been installed, the car can be purchased from the [Vision GT] option within the [CARS] section in "My Home". Alternatively, it is also possible to obtain the car by completing a lap (regardless of the lap time) in the new BMW Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time.

Adjustments to the Open Lobby

- [Endurance Race] has been added to the [Room Mode] option within [Basic Settings] of the Event Settings screen.

edit:

Not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but setting the Room Mode to P/Endurance or P/Q/ Endurance Race, allows you to set race distance by time instead of laps. 5 minute intervals up to 30 minute races, 10 minute intervals for races between 30-60 minutes, 90 minute races, and 1 hour intervals after 60 minutes to a full 24 hours!
​

- [Tire Wear/Fuel Consumption] has been added to [Time Trial Settings] options ("OFF", "Normal", "Fast" or "Very Fast" can be selected)

- Choice of [Start Type] has been added to the [Race Settings] for Qualifier, Time Trial, and Drift Trial modes. You can now select from [Final Corner Start] or [Pit Start].

- When [Grid Start with False Start Check] is selected in [Race Settings], signal lights will be displayed as start indicators.




New features added to "Replay" and "Watch Race" modes

- Button controls can now be used to: Switch between "Full View" and "Live Timing"; to turn the "Driver List Display" ON/OFF; to switch the "Information Display" and to change the target car.

- The "Keyboard Switching Feature" has been added. A USB keyboard can be used to switch the "Information Display" and to change the view.

[Davoxx]

So no course maker ?????

 

[opelman]

The size is 961 mb. so very big.

 

[Furinkazen]

Right PD - all we need is A Spec Endurance. And 961mb? Wow. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye.

 

[diegorborges]

961mb is too big for this.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Secret PD content inside

 

[MatskiMonk]

As someone pointed out in the other thread, the size could just be down to the Video's of the VGT.

 

[diegorborges]

Secret PD content inside

Like always. I predict a video or something...

 

[opelman]

It takes lot of time instal the update. Maybe the senna content is also there.

 

[hotdogxx60]

It will be the files for Senna special

 

[Monatsende]

PD loaded the gun.

 

[Azure Flare]

The VGT is probably the sexiest thing BMW has made in a long time.

 

[poumpoum]

- Choice of [Start Type] has been added to the [Race Settings] for Qualifier, Time Trial, and Drift Trial modes. You can now select from [Final Corner Start] or [Pit Start].

Love the idea to start from pit, it's nice for the immersion

 

[Rrralphster]

GRID STARTS!!!!!!! *scream*


Oh bummer, only for MP....

 

[gambleboyen]

MP? Ah, online?

 

[diegorborges]

And we don't even know exactly whats inside...

 

[Trux]

Be prepared to wait whilst you download the update. Wait whilst you install the update. And once in game wait a good 30 mins more whilst it installs...er..again

 

[gambleboyen]

Why the two install phases? Silly.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

If it's 961MB then the Senna content has got to be in there surely.

 

[Soulfresh_ACV]

Once again PD's priorities are questionable

New features added to "Replay" and "Watch Race" modes

Was hoping New features would be the course maker .

Be prepared to wait whilst you download the update. Wait whilst you install the update. And once in game wait a good 30 mins more whilst it installs...er..again

I wonder if anyone notice anything else like bug fixes or other in-game improvements as the update is 961 mb

 

[David Brooks]

Any bug fixes?

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Any bug fixes?

👍..............Dont be daft.

 

[Soulfresh_ACV]

As someone pointed out in the other thread, the size could just be down to the Video's of the VGT.

It's stupid and a waste of HD space to download those videos. On-demand streaming for goodness sake. I don't want to buy extra storage for my PS3 just for videos I'll probably only watch once.

 

[Fryto]

Does the BMW VGT have an interior...?

 

[AleksandarSRB]

Does the BMW VGT have an interior...?

Yes

 

[MrSulu]

Any bug fixes?

I seriously hope so, pit options bug is ruining our endurance championships.

 

[Dynamite_Dave]

Does the BMW VGT have an interior...?

It Better have!!!

 

[MatskiMonk]

I wonder if they'll be any Ninja updates later.

 

[giorgos21]

Yes

 

[freaky40]

I couldn't stop smiling watching that teaser, loved it.
