Kazunori Yamauchi at Pebble Beach 2009

kazunori-yamauchi-pebble-beach-2009-16

You might remember last year when Kazunori Yamauchi handed out the “Polyphony Digital Trophy” at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.  At the time, his selection of a Lamborghini raised eyebrows in our forums, and it did turn out to be a pleasant case of foreshadowing!  This year, the award goes to a 1965 Alfa Romeo TZ2 – the company’s “last purpose-built GT racer”, of which only 12 were produced.  Before you get too excited, though, we should mention that there is no indication this car will be included in any GT game. It would be great, however, to see Polyphony Digital Trophy recipients included, much like the annual winners of the SEMA Gran Turismo Award

    We atleast need the optional extras like you get when you buy a real car, GT5P already has car color as an option, but GT5 needs things like interior upulstry option, or rim option, choosing weather you want your car to be manual or auto, any of that would keep me happy, but forza customization for GT5 would just be SICK!!!

    lol Yeah Sam, That would be something right … I would hate to have a race with 12-16 red enzo’s, Im not a forza fan buy any means but the way you can customize a car with the paint and rims is crazy! ,Still it’s not worth buying a 360 with the red eye lmao! We need that on GT5!

    highly doubt it. although this major advancement at the TGS could be anything so keep your fingers crossed.

    if the alfa is gonna be in GT5, doesn’t that mean PD has to model it. PD said car modeling takes up to 6 months. I CANT WAIT 6 MORRE MONTHS FOR GT5!!!!

    Thats what rich sun ripend people look like in the south of france (the lady) lol!

    I would hope that all the Pebble Beach and also SEMA gran turismo winners are in GT5. It looks like they have the licences for all the brands in question apart from the Porsche.

    That Alfa is really a thing of beauty, pretty much all Alfas have been.
