Each year at SEMA in Las Vegas, Sony hosts the “Gran Turismo Awards” – a competition with one very important judge (Kazunori Yamauchi), who selects a car on display at the show for inclusion in a GT game.
The Awards have brought some interesting color and variety to car lists over the years, including Art Morrison’s 1960 Corvette and the late JR Rocha’s heavily-customized Infiniti G37, and it’s now time to add another car to GT’s roster. If you’re presenting a car at SEMA 2011 (or know someone who is), fill out the official entry form and Kazunori will come calling. The winner will be revealed at the Awards party on November 3, 2011.
For the rest of us wondering when we’ll get to virtually thrash the eventual winner, Sony’s entry form offers some conflicting clues. The form’s main page claims the winner will be included in a “future edition of Gran Turismo“, while the official rules clearly state “the winner’s vehicle will be digitally recreated and will appear in Gran Turismo 5 for the PlayStation 3 system.” As usual, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Good luck to all entrants, and thanks to all of you who sent this in!

Mark 2 escort!!!!!
The Fast And Furious Dodge Charger, that beast looks like it has 2000hp!
Honestly,you can call me crazy but I’m dying for a 1st gen DSM. But not just any. John Shepherd’s 91′ 7 second AWD Talon. Not a whole lot of people know what it’s like to drive a 1,000+whp AWD DSM. I myself do and it’s unlike anything else. I own and have owned all kinds of different performance cars. I have to say that the entire experiance that you get all together when driving one of these cars tuned to 1,000whp or more is awe inspiring and just leaves you at a loss for words. Sure,there are plenty of cars that are “faster” but it’s not just that. It’s just not possible to describe to someone who does’nt know. I grew up around true hot rods and muscle cars. Yet I’m still a big fan of the turbo AWD cars and I don’t think I’ll be turning back anytime soon.
That or something that NRE (Nelson Racing Engines) built. I like the 1,500whp street driven Twin turbo big block RX-7. That would be fun around the ring! Plus they are sure to be at SEMA.
A Porsche can’t win and even if iy did there would be a licensing issue with EA still. Just add more Ruf’s & in premium please with option to race mod & livery.
… rm into a porsche race car?
Koenigsegg cxr plz
Why don’t they make the BMW E39 or an Opel Vxr Nurburgring Astra. That would be a head turner because it would be a beauitful replacement for the old dtm Astra.
Someone with a Porsche should enter
Year One Bandit Trans Am
Lotus 49!
Holden VL Calais Turbo, Series 2, 1988 Model, the car is a machine, comes factory standard with a 3 Litre RB 30 Nissan skyline turbo engine.. This will be awesome to have this car in the game..
ice cream truck!!!
Why not a exciting car that isnt in the game like a Ferrari F50
Most awesome car for me to put in the game is definitly the E30 :)
something, hellaflush,vip or jdm
I know what will win, an old Skoda Felicia with some dents. Wait, that’s my Sister’s car.
68 GTO Judge, 69 General Lee, 68 Bullitt, 75 Gran Torino, 77 Trans AM, New and old Kitt
A Veritas RS III Roadster please. This Car is awesome!!!
what happens if a porsche wins? :p
Then it will magically become a RUF
GT5 really should have car pack DLC’s addressing different catagories like Concepts,Movie Cars, D1 drift,etc. If i did one for movie/TV show cars I’d go:
Back to the Future delorean(With Flux Capacitor!)
Kitt from Knightrider
Dukes of Hazard Charger(w 01 and confederate flag)
Automans car(Look up Automan on wiki)
Buckaroo Banzai Jet Car
Smokey and the Bandit Firebird
Starski and Hutch Torino
The Love Bug(Herbie) VW bug
Got any more guys?
e39 bmw m5. Only ever been in one game, which was need for speed high stakes…
which was awful.
I’m gonna enter Pee Wee’s bike from Pee Wee’s big adventure so everyone get excited to see a bicycle come to a GT series.
I think I’m felling a little Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo. But no,an old race car or really any Leans car will do.
The old black and red Bat mobile
veilside supra
If they are really going to release new content. Is there any chance they will announce it at the GT Awards?
Put me in the game please, noone knows who i am.
My DLC alarm is going off, I hope we get new content at some point…
SLR McLaren Stirling Moss!!
I once saw at a car show (don’t remember what) a Honda De sol with transparent hood and glow-in-the-dark mirrors and spoiler. I’m not a huge fan of the De Sol, but that was the coolest tuned car ever…I hope that guy enters the show lol
wow how incredibly boring
how bout some new content already???
Looks like there may very well be new content after November 3rd!
New content will probably be racesuits etc ( Seb Vettel , Stig & probably other racing drivers from around the world. )
New features will probably be more live online race seasonals etc.
No tweet from Kaz with cars & tracks mentioned , nothing interesting is coming.
GT6 Prologue car news also.
That is all.
To vortex: don’t be so cocky and sure that i’ll do better than Kaz! I bet u anything that if you post ur ideas of how u would make the perfect gt5 half the community would probably disagree with you ! I personally love gt5, don’t give a damn about standard cars. If i could have more realistic physics, it’d be even happier! Physics > pixelated shadows or reflections of trees on my exhaust..
That’s not Physics , that’s graphics.
Physics is the movement of the car(s) in relation to the track and / or it’s surroundings.
+1 for enhanced graphics though.
He said “Physics > pixelated shadows or reflections…” not “Physics are pixelated shadows or reflections…” lol
The winner may be a Miata.
I would personally love to see a replica Delorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future! Imagine sitting inside it. Plus after you hit 88mph who knows what will happen.
OHHH, i sure hope the MINCOMP mini is at sema. But now with a zcars conversion. That would’ve been sweet!
I liked the aufi, S 2000, and G37 ( although I wouldn’t want a ps3 and a tv in my G37 racecar) hopefully someone gets a Porsche in or please no cars that are like old I want something that looks original or looks radical with body kits but thats just me. I just want a car that a boy would dream about
Yo dawg we heard you like PS3 so we put a PS3 in yo PS3 game so you can play PS3 while playing yo PS3.
98destroyer – U lyke mudkipz?
No more skylines!
I wish I was in kaz his shoes… I would make gt5 so much better. Too bad there is no way for the regular guy to just make a game on the level of gt5…
Switzer P1000…Porsche 911 GT1…Polestar Volvo C30…Brian’s Skyline from F&F2…Zastava 101 :D
Please dont pick a fiat 500
How about ANY new cars? When the next GT gets released they’ll finally have ’10 cars in there, but 3,498 versions of one car! Kaz needs to stop doing this car show shenanigans and focus on the product!
Ford Sierra rs 500.. Opel Manta 400 and the Ascona 400. And the audi Quattro rally car..why is that not on the game? Pug 205 and delta are cool but audi looks sicj
Alot of cars SHOULD be in this game,but there is one era that is not really truly represented in the game and that era is the 1980’s and if there are a car or should i say car’s that dominated in that decade they should be the following.
The BMW E30 M5 touring car and FORD’S sierra RS500 touring car.
Both these cars should be in the game,surely?
The E30 is an M3, but ya there are still a bunch of cars that simply can not fall through the cracks of inclusion for GT6.
I have full confidence in PD that they’ve heard a lot of the “wants” and are doing everything to bring as absolute masterpiece for PS4.
+1 80’s era and the E30. An ‘ole Monte Carlo would be pretty sweet too.
Top Gear should enter with Geoff :D
I can’t believe they didn’t implement an MX-3 1.8 24V V6
West Coast Custom Gt-R or SLS…
Tune it up a little…
voila!
Somebody better bring one of Mark Skaifes 04,05,06,07 or 08 car I love V8 supercars
Anything from HRT, HSV or HDT will do. A GTS, Maloo and blue meanie would be my picks
Aston Martin V12 Zagato!!!
Hopefully noone shows up with some sort of Kubelwagen or Schwimmwagen…..Kazunori surely chooses this one then.. :P
Kubelwagen V-Spec II :)
Kebelwagon GTS M-Spec Nur Type R STI RS Ver. IV…SS :D
Kubelwagon*
Just remember that the car will be in “another” GT, not 5, so even if the winner was a car you really like, don’t expect to be driving it until at least the arrival of GT6.
GT6 Prologue!
Not necessarily.
May I dare to hope for anything with car lashes?
http://sandboxworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/car-lashes.jpg
They’d go great with my pink racing suit :D
Would like to see a Factory Five Racing ’33 Hot Rod. Top less, fender less.
Let’s keep some perspective, fellas. We paid 60 bucks for a game that regularily gets tweaked and added to. I don’t recall any dlc for ‘altered beast’ on sega genesis
DLC as a concept for gaming companies to use as an add on tool wasn’t even invented then.
Therefore your comment is invalid sadly.
Altered Beast was finished though. Like most games were back in those days. Now games companies release half finished games and then patch them at a later date. What is sadder is that consumers just accept it as the norm these days.
Welcome to the future of gaming unfortunately ……
This particular trend will get worse & worse , & has been doing so for a while now.
@TJC_69
are you serious buddy lol! Thanks for info. You sadly missed the point.
Yes Rayline , i’m serious lol. I got your point , ( PD tweaks the game & gives us new content for 60 bucks , that’s such good value etc……Right ? )
Then you compared GT5 to a game that was released in an era before DLC was even thought of. Whether you liked the game as much as GT5 or not , there’s no comparison that can be made there as GT5 is still an unfinished product unlike the previous game you mentioned.
A better comparison would maybe be Uncharted 2 ? I.E – A game from this generation that didn’t require DLC as it was a complete product , was relevant to the current generation , and was good value for money.
Maybe you missed my point perhaps ? Lol
How about they cut all this crap and focus on gt5 alone, and NOTHING ELSE. Think about it if you have a big late school project are you going to keep the professor (all of us) waiting for it as you parade around going out every night??? NO!!!!! And they should make up some fake aftermarket company for porsches. Real cars, fictional companies…….. I’m sick of these fools AND EA!!!!! NFS SUXXXXXXX
Yeah those tight eyed radio-active rich greedy back stabing midget faggets, you don’t see forza doing this….. And I h8 forza.
You know, that is true. But only if you have an army of employees in your own studio that writes that big late school project for you.
The interceptor from mad max would be awesome.
I second what I second above.
The interceptor from mad max would be awesome
I second that.
My car will win. I have an 87 Honda Prelude with a crown shaped air freshener on the dash and I painted my stock calipers red. I also chromed the windshield
Hell yeah, my car is better. It’s a ________. It’s friggin awesome, huh?!
I have a good feeling my mother’s 2011 Acura MDX will make it into SEMA. Its got a 3.7 liter V6, 300 HP engine plus SH-AWD for superior handling!
Can u even buy a g37 like that in real life
I do believe that car is a one of a kind. It is probably in somebodies garage somewhere and they would maybe sell it to you if your ballin like that. Or you could go buy a stock G37 and try to customize it like that yourself.
I really wonder why it has a company name then and I’ve seen a white one of those in real life so I don’t think they are one of a kind
I’d like the zombie 240z or something from workshop Rauh Welt (Rough world)
It’s way to hard to pick just one… Maybe the 2011 Shelby Mustang? Oh, no wait! The Gumpert Apollo!
I don’t know, honestly, I’ll be happy with any new premium cars we get!
I hope the winner will be a classic. I’m thinking 60s or 70s.
Agreed, we need to be able to enjoy the things from before our times. Model T’s and such!
Well this proves something that GT5 will continue to develop itself.
wonders if my export ’97 taurus would win..needs a wask,rego,tyres,driver,2 more cylinders??
A think a full field of FIA GT1 cars should enter and Kaz should add them all ;)
I think a premium model of Top Gear’s destroyed Hilux would be awesome.
Dat wud be epic! XD
Oscar Myer (sp?) Wiener mobile
Jeremy Clarksons “Toybota”
You guys don’t seem to get it, they’re not just putting some random car in, its just going to be like all the other years, Kaz is going to pick one car he likes at SEMA and it will win the Gran Turismo award, then it will be put into Gran Turismo.. The title is a bit deceiving though..
We are just having fun aand wishing people woyld take these cars to SEMA.
my custom mach convertible one will once again remain in my garage, im not sharing that thing =P
Get your entries in now! If you win, your car will be in Gran Turismo 9 due to be released 2023
+10
Well, according to that math, 4 GT games would come out in 12 years, meaning 1 game per 3 years, which is a major improvement… :D
an 800hp axell auto gtr will be nice
Can some one get the 400 HP AWD Polestar Volvo C30 PCP into SEMA so it can win and my life can be complete!?!
Put in a Rossion Q1. If you don’t know what it is look it up. Probs one of my fav cars
It looks a bit like an Elise.
It’s a noble. Yawn.
Say whatever you want, it’s American and it looks sick with orange and offset double stripes
More like it’s an American interpretation of a British sports car.
And unfortunately the original is better than the cover.
Elanor from gone in 60 seconds
Yeah that would be sweet to drive
It’s that nice I would just buy it and look at it and not drive it ingame.
I think the only entrants should be Porsches. That would make some good legal mayhem!
After briefly looking through what might/will appear at SEMA 2011, I think I’d really like to see one of the custom tuned Ford Raptor’s gain entry into the GT series. I think that would be a lot of fun, especially on the rally surfaces. There are quite a few Dakar cars already on GT5, sadly none of them are premium.
For some reason, I doubt my 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 S (stock) will make it. :/
Pussy wagon*
+105
How about the Puss wagon from kill bill? Lol
Are porsche disqualified? LOL
Porsche 911 gt3 :) my fav porsche after the carrera gt
Porsche 911 gt3 /drool … to bad it will never happen.
If Ruf can be featured, I’m sure a custom Porsche could be… The other SEMA winners haven’t been the ‘Ford’ Trans Cammer, High Performance ‘Infiniti’ G37 nor the Art Morrison ‘Chevrolet’ Corvette, so surely we could have, say, a Techart GT Street or whatever. Technically they’re just as much a Porsche as Ruf are. Not that I’m holding out any hope, plus I don’t really care, but there’s probably nothing stopping PD from including a ‘Porsche’ if it won the SEMA prize.
RUF is one of the few tuners with a manifacturer license. That’t why they are in GT series avoiding Porsche EA exclusive.
EA has a deal with Porsche, they will not come to PD, you’ll have to do with RUF, sorry, would love to drive the Carrea GT my self :(
Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust from Top Gear. That or the Fiat Panda Limo.
+1 just for the lolz!! XD
Citroën CX, Jeremy’s motorhome edition.
James May’s Triumph yacht
Yesssssssssssss
Hammonds suzuki police 4×4?
how about Richard Hammond’s Motorhome boat?
or the Top Gear pedal powered porsche?
I want the electric car they built from scratch haha
Or their…
Renault Avantime
Renault Espace convertible
Oliver
MGF Limo
Merc Cottage
Fiat Coupe Police (comeplete with spikes)
The list could go on, but these would be the best in my opinion :D
Every car, Kaz has chosen from the Sema didn´t match my taste in any way. Every car was absolute ugly customized and the original character of the car was destroyed.
The only nearly acceptable one was the Trans Cammer. But the hood and missing bumper/ splitter was a no go.
Well he’s not exactly selecting cars to match your tastes…
I think you’re missing the point of SEMA cars anyway.
well thats SEMA. That show is meant to showcase the extravagant, and new and wildest customization parts/ tuning shops, all attempting to one up each other from last year.
Do you not actually know what SEMA is? Its a trade show thats all about customization.
Went to SEMA several years back. Thinking it was the first year too. Required credentials as an employee of a performance shop. my buddies ran Auto Improvements and got me in. What a blast. First time to Vegas and got to attend an incredible show. 1997-1999 somewhere in there when we went.
G-Power Hurricane RR BMW M5. 800hp superchaged V10. NOW!
actually the G-Power Hurricane M6 also looks good, but i wish they would add more premium BMW’s to the list
finally a new premiem car! :D
Dukes of Hazzard General Lee ’69 Dodge Charger PLEASE!!!
and the green 1968 fastback Mustang from Bullitt!!!
^^ This
It’ll take them 6 years to even think about rendering it…… meh :/
Both of those cars are in the game pretty much. The Charger and a Shelby GT350.
But there is no Highlander Green 68 Mustang Fastback! We NEED IT!
a really nice fox body(87-93) mustang would be sweet, its never been in a game. ive owned several. Stock there crap but theres a huge amount of aftermarket support for them.
+1
+1
– 2
I’d love a Fox body in a drag pack.
As well there was a SN95 Bob Bourdant* Racing school in a previous GT. That car could easily be added as standard and make me happy. They was pre mod motor version. Pushrod FTW.
ooooo Arial atom v8 would be really cool.
very very cool
I hope someone makes à damn fine noble m400 or an Ariël Atom or something. Ahum ascari ahum
Cool, i wonder if we will will ever get a PREMIUM Jensen Interceptor…so many car chases, so little time :)
“The winner will be revealed at the Awards party on November 3, 2011.”
November 3rd 2011, sounds like a release date … :D
lmao :’)
20 nov 2011…. Now that sounds like a release date….
Ferrari P4/5 road car & the Competizione version that ran at the 24hrs of the ring this year.
Please, someone make a BttF DeLorean and enter this thing! :P
+1 =D
+1 indeed
+20,000,000
+ over 9000
Make the car, take it back to 2010, enter SEMA, and win so I can go drive it in the game now. :)
+ 88 times
Screw that idea, Someone make a 2007 Walkinshaw GTS and send it to the show!!! That car would win something, and needs to be in the GT5.
saab please
A 4WD mini cooper rally car
Hell yeah! When you screw up you just go faster than 88mph and go back to just before your mistake…….
hmmmm… does every car in forza have a flux capacitor hidden under the bonnet?
