New Spec-V GT-R Coming to Gran Turismo 5 on Monday

Polyphony Digital has announced a new special Time Trial Challenge Seasonal Event, which will go live on Monday, November 21 at 12:01 PST.

For participating, players will receive a special Nissan GT-R Spec V, as seen above. If it looks familiar, that’s probably because you likely already have it sitting on your desk or bookshelf – it’s the exact same Kyosho die-cast GT-R Spec V that was included in the Gran Turismo 5 Collector’s Edition.

It should be noted this has only been announced on Polyphony Digital’s North American website, so European and Asian players would be safe to assume the event and car will not be available in those regions. Thanks to MrMulsanne for the early tip!

UPDATE:  The GT Facebook page has now confirmed this event will be available world-wide.

    Another GTR… GREAT… -.-

    If PD keep this up, I’ll be putting my PS3 in the boys room and bringing their shi-tbox360 down stairs with a copy of the new Forza…

    I have bought, played & loved every GT to date, I foolishly cued up at midnight for the PS3 on launch thinking, GT5 will be out soon… LOL… 5 years later I’m greeted by a part finished game. Thankfully PD have fixed alot of the problems over time.

    Any way, back to my point.

    PD, Y U BUM GTR.

    Take your tounge out of Nissan’s A$S already, or be prepared to lose long standing and loyal fans.

    THAT IS ALL.

    Enough with the GT-R’s already????? the N24 Schulze GT-R, the GT500 Stealth edition…. Mix it up a little!

  5. DaihatsuDriver

    I’m so happy to finally get the GT Academy Special. It gives me hope that I can someday get the RDI 10 Stealth and the 787b Stealth and the Jaguar XJ13 Chrome Line. Then I can complete my collect of 1 of every car in the game XD

  6. GT5_Honda_Guy

    Well, I just got mine! And regardless of all the complaining, I am very happy and welcome a free car for competing. I look forward to more content and some diversity would obviously be welcome. I am eager to see what they have in store for us and wait with a huge amount of excitement and anticipation.

  7. txmoveguru

    Seeing that we are putting it out there, maybe someone will see and take note. Here’s my wish list of cars that I would like to see in the game:

    1967 – 1969 Plymouth Baracuda
    1970 – 1972 Plymouth Baracuda
    1969- 1970 – Pontiac GTO “JUDGE”
    1970 Plymouth Road Runner
    How about a Transcam Ford fairlane
    Ferrari Caprio
    Audi A8 Sedan – for the M5 matchup
    BMW Z9 concept
    BMW NAZCA M12 Concept
    BMW 5351 Gran turismo

    Just a few cars on my list wish!!

  8. MadmuppGT

    I’m sick of PD doing events and races in GT5 without the racing line, No I dont want to learn the track, No I dont have time to learn the track. Let people put the racing line on if they want too for god sake… Its like youre being punished by the game for not being hardcore and dedicating your life to it…”Whats that, youre using a dual shock and not a wheel? You half assed ba**ard, I’ll see you never complete a clean lap in an F1 or red bull for this insult” haha

    1. A_Higher_Place

      Just got 2nd ;) . Turismo’s time is fast, i can beat him through the first 3 sections, but that sharp downhill left he eats me alive.

    2. PIGBOY

      same here,GTP_DHolland has a 1:32.199 but he’s on euro leaderboards.There are 2 different leaderboards.Ive got down to a 34.577.Have to be smooth.I look at the replay IN-CAR view and watch the steering inputs.gotta be smooth.

  9. elston87

    Got the GT-R SpecV today. Weird, as it comes to you in a ticket. I wonder if you can gift the ticket to a friend (probably not), as I have not redeemed it yet.

    That aside, this event was very enjoyable. I never actually realized how stable of a car the GT-R SpecV really is. Thank you PD for such an enjoyable event!

  10. tika

    Boy ooh boy, what A stupid Silly car. you can’t paint it, can’t chance the rims our the number.
    And it sounds like A vacuum cleaner ,, PD we did not need this car we have skylines enough.
    And this one is A failure, and I don’t want it in my garage but the sick making problem is I cant throw it away so now it sit in my garage because PD says you cant sell this car…

    PD REALLY DONT GIVE ME STUFF THAT I CANT GET RID OF.

    Beter that you fix the menu settings in the game so that i can save my settings that would be A nice option, now every time I have to set it my sellf again in the way I like it ,,,,, give me A save option for the menu… please

    1. linupix

      tika go do the sound option select large theatre, add some bass. GT5 do not sound like a vacuum cleaner. GT5 was developed to maximize the use of a good sound system.

  12. LeeMoldon

    Don’t tell anyone, but this is a secret that kaz told me…..this is actually a dbr9 gulf Gt1 race car with a Nissan R35 body shell on top. It appears when you take it to the car wash. Hee hee shhhh!

  13. masaki7026

    I have the car; it’s pretty good for handling. Not that bad of a car in my opinion.

    Although I do agree I would like to see some different types of cars than just Skylines. There’s more versions of those than we can count.

    Though I’m not going to press it on PD, because I know IT TAKES TIME to develop stuff….yes, I’m talking to everyone that keeps nagging PD for stuff, give them some time…

  14. DarkCanuck

    Well thanks PD, got the new GTR… you just forgot one very important thing, in my opinion… can’t change the number to match my die-cast. Gaaahh. Petty I know, but it’s always something with these guys.

  15. Quakebass

    It’s almost 9:00 AM here… sometimes thats when the events get released for me – due to the time difference…

    Just gotta wait 53 seconds now… come on!!!

      And it isn’t out yet (at least GTP doesn’t have a report on it yet…)
      ALSO AM is supposed to be PM… Woops…

    1. Greennarcotics

      Is this out midnight US time then for everyone, was gona stay up but it’s nearly 3am here so think I’ll get a go 2moro as I’m guessing it’s gona be another 2 or 3 hours atleast.

  16. Quakebass

    Okay… I’ll accept any free cars, but the Nissan GT-R is getting a bit over used by now, and soon (maybe with the next uninterrupted 3-5 GT-R’s) they’re going to bore me. If they still add Nissans, can they NOT be GT-R’s please? how the Z-Series, like the classics – there aren’t any Premium classic 240Z’s in the dealership, and how about the GT Academy Z’s? would’t those work? And how about some Nissan LMP’s that Lucas Ordinez uses? Theres only really 2 different kinds of modern Premium LMP cars in the dealership, why not add more of those? We need more High-Performance racing car models anyways…

  17. MadmuppGT

    While there is differences between different models, I do think 1 or 2 version of a car is enough, Take the Skylines for example. I think if you have the GT-S and GT-R of each model thats more than enough, we dont really need the Euro spec, JDM spec, Nurb II etc because its just a bit over kill for no gain.

  18. bigburt82

    There is a lot of moaning on here, and it’s good in that PD have some constructive criticism and feedback to use. Will gladly take any free car with appreciation, but please can there be some more variety in the future. Thanks Kaz.

  19. PhillGuy

    Sounds good to me. I would accually like to see a test to finally determine the differnce performace wise on each of the skylines. The would be interesting and maybe shut the fanboy up a bit.

  20. jammed79

    EARTH TO PEOPLE…THE CAR ISNT GOING TO BE FREE WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT!!!! IT WILL BE PUT IN YOUR DEALERSHIP THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO USE YOUR CREDITS TO BUY THE CAR SOOOOOO…IT ISNT FREE…LOL

    1. Bfc_1882

      Not sure if your statement is correct because it says it’s a seasonal event and the car is the prize. Last time they gave this car out in a seasonal event you got the car for doing two clean laps on in a row. And it was free and it will be free this time too.

    2. TokoTurismo

      @jammed79
      Sir, I ask what is you talking about? :( Remember the good old days for car games when you finish that specific event, you win a car? But this one is supposed to be a “new special Time Trial Challenge Seasonal Event, for participating, players will receive a special Nissan GT-R Spec V”. Remember, for participating you win something, like the suits for your driver.

  21. elston87

    Why are people complaining about a free giveaway like this? Either they are whining about exclusivity or something else that isn’t even negotiable. I appreciate everything PD is trying to do up until this upcoming holiday season. People should stop complaining about these kinds of things and take what is given to you…

    If you don’t want it, then don’t take it! No one is forcing you to, but because the words “free” and “car” are brought about, it creates these varieties of people who just want to take everything for granted. What happened to stuff like this in the old days when we used to SHARE with friends? Now it’s ALL about exclusivity… :|

  22. W1L428

    Well just look at how excited everybody was for the first DLC even thow it was basically all Japanese cars PD did the lease expected and put in spa and blew everybody’s mind…so even thow they put all these Japanese cars there still unpridictable..some of these guys shoold be happy this game is not like NFS Shift that only had like 1 dlc.i still love the game and who knows there probably keeping us distracted with this event and car while they make more dlc :)

  23. kollosson

    I would like to see alot of the current manufacturer licenses added to, like more Aston’s, DB4 GT Zagato, DB5, DB7 Zagato, V8 Vantage and more Ferrari’s, 250 GTO, 250 GTO SWB, 288 GTO, Dino. What i would dearly love to see would be a Wiegart Vector W2, W8 and M12. Another awesome machine i would love to see would be a De Tomaso Pantera GTS and GT5.

  24. symustafa1996

    You guys don’t get it, do you? The reason the majority of the cars are Japanese is because its easier to get licenses for them. And remember how GT1 and GT2 introduced a lot of Japanese cars to Americans? There wasn’t a lot of non-Japanese cars then, so don’t expect a sudden flood of foreign cars. Even the photo mode locations is mainly in Japan. Its harder to get licenses for, say, Chrysler or Venturi(remember this?). And come on guys, PD isn’t making you pay for it. Its just a car being re-released again. You guys should stop whining. I want more cars too, but expect them to be mostly Japanese.

  25. Bfc_1882

    Slightly off topic but It’s ok them giving us new cars (i’d prefer ones we haven’t had before and different car companys)and dlc but if I buy the next dlc and it comes with another 100 paints then I’m not going to be able to have them unless they remove this 7000 items limit that is definitely becoming a problem now especially if there’s gonna be dlc every two months.

  26. Giygas

    If so many people are complaining about too many Nissans, chances are THERE ARE TOO MANY DAMN NISSANS.

    This is the general consensus of the gt5 players and as owners of a copy of gt5 they have a right to voice their opinion of the gtr dlc. Anyone who believes these people’s complaints are unwarranted will not have their way, as there will always be people asking for different cars.

    Don’t get us wrong: most of us love nissan, we just want to see a variety of newer cars added.

  27. jammed79

    WELL I DIDNT WANT ANOTHER GTR BUT ILL TAKE IT…ALREADY HAVE EVERY CAR IN THE GAME SO ILL TAKE WHAT THEY GIVE ME….NOW THEY JUST NEED A DRAGSTRIP WITH A WORKING TREE SO I DONT HAVE TO KEEP OUT RUNNING EVERYONE ON THE TOP GEAR TRACK!!!!!!

  28. Vin1021

    Yeah,this is ridiculous! When are we going to get some good cars? Arial Atom, DTM’s, V8 Supercars, more P1/P2 cars in Premium. That sort of thing. When? Oh when,Lord,when? Maybe the cars in this game are ideal if you grew up in Japan,but for us in the United States………IT SUCKS!!!!!

  29. PAB94

    Stop acting as if adding more cars or any NEW is awesome. This game has so many Japanese cars that it’s stupid to ad more. It’s Kazs’ game but we are the comunity. I know you GT fans will start bashing this but think about it. Do you not want some new Euro cars? I am grateful for new features, but many of you “GT fans” act as if any critisism toward GT5 was a trolling move.

    1. TokoTurismo

      Dude I said relax and drink some green tea, geez why must there always be an agurement over something small 24/7. REMEMBER theres a “DLC” coming up next month and already theres hyper activeness going on. “Sigh”. I’m glad I ain’t no game creator especially to simulation racers. Thougt it’ll be fun but to much stress to keep everyone happy at once…

    2. PAB94

      What? You must have replied to the wrong person. You haven’t told me anything. I do not care if there’s 1 thousand DLC packs coming in the next 2 years, I’m sick of seeing so many useless and space wasting Japanese cars. Tell me who the hell wants to drive every production version of the stupid Miata?

    3. TokoTurismo

      Whoops, I’m heaviely sorry my friend. I guess I wasn’t thinking straight enough, lol. x_x Sorry again. But you’re are right about the Miatas though. ;) Can’t wait for DLC.

    4. Vin1021

      I’ve gotta’ say he’s got a point. Too many useless Jap-crap cars. I personally own a japanese race car myself but I also own a german car and an american car. Variety is the spice of life. But if all the spices are Japanese your gonna’ get the squirts and crap yourself. Lets get some new European cars in dis’ beaotch!!!

  30. TokoTurismo

    “Aham” For the people who aren’t happy, you do realize this isn’t a DLC car. I understand theres to many GT-Rs in the game but hey, this one is a GT Academy car which I really like when I got my collectors edition. It’s probably something like a gift to let us know that Kaz and PD are still with us, maybe they thought up something really great for ether the DLC or for GT6 which gave them a lucky day to share this with us. Don’t worry next month is DLC time, so lets relax and drink some green tea while we’re at it, okay? :)

  31. nitrorocks

    Oh great. Another GT-R. I was excited that only the U.S. gets it…………….nevermind, everyone else does! We can’t have anything on the rest of the world.

  32. larsh

    As long as it is no nascar I like it. Whatever it is, anything is better. Maybe beside the first Benz from GT4 but anyway…
    Nascar is by far the most boring stuff on gt5 and ruins everything. Crap for idiots too dumb to do proper cornering.

  33. RedBaron

    Giving free Nissan to GT5 player is like giving free bread to someone just coming totally stuffed out of bakery.

  34. Szuper

    YES,YES,YES..this list is very good..

    1. cassiusclay99

      I soooooooo agree. The lack of these cars is a shame in any game pretending to be some kind of cars lover stuff.

      Lame.

  36. Praggia

    GT 5 broke my ps 3 5 times its now just gathering dust
    I dont blame PD its an epic game which pushes the ps3 to the limit

    Sony however WTF really WTF
    even the newer PS3’s seems to “melt” under the strain
    They dont seem to care do they

  37. Apu

    ♥ ♥ ♥
    I hope it is the same old “NISSAN GT-R SPECV (GT ACADEMY SPECIAL)” version.
    Missed the EU-academy in early 2011 :-(
    And all gamers outside europe could not even participate back then.

  38. Pinkintron

    Don’t know why people are complaining – it’s not like we are getting introduced to a new Fiat 500 or anything. . .

  39. Big Ron

    I don´t understand the strategy of PD here. Why are they offering cars coming with GT5-special editions? If I really wanted them, I would have bought any of the collections. But reusing them now like having nothing more to show, makes no sense for me.

    1. S0ul

      I understand that this car was not part of any special edition. The special edition only contained a mini sized model of the car. It was not featured in the game

    2. Bom15

      Firstly…. I agree with u Big ron. I bought signature edition when it 1st came out. I didn’t get it just because of the stealths and chromes. The USB, Keyring, Wallet, Obsidian black Box, SLS Model, books etc etc are all handy and nice. But these extra cars where part of the package and some where availbale through pre-order. I got no probs with that. But for these to be given out because of some mistake or wotever in america leaves me bit a disappointed.

      Secondly… This GTR was 1st available in Europe earlier this year. It was given out if u took part in europes GT Academy. I’m not bothered that its available again. A few of my non-european friends wanted this car but couldn’t get it. Hopefully they might do the same with the Edge Camaro or 370 GT Academy car? Ones that i can’t get.

      Another point slightly off topic. My GT5 USB stick decided to write protect itself. So now its pretty much useless. If anyone has any solutions i would be grateful.

  40. mclifted

    I’ll take it and if they want to give me more free stuff ,I’ll take that to. When the next DLC come’s out I’ll buy 2 , just like the last set. So Keep it coming, I want more. Most of the comments seem to be from the younger crowd, ignore the mad people they will always be mad. But if you want ideas on what to release give us an idea of whats available and maybe let GTplanet users vote on the next set of DLC. Thats my dream, what’s your’s ?

  41. Bfc_1882

    In an interview just the other week kaz said how he had been listening to gt5 players about what they wanted in the game and the good and bad points that people thought needed changing. Well obviously he was lying I’m mean how long have people been telling him about having far to many variations of skylines, mitsubishis and subarus , well I can tell you it’s a long long long long long long long long time. Please take note of what we all say kaz, c’mon

    1. Redrkt

      Well you could always pull that extra $60mil out that you have laying around and make your own game, not hard really, just hire the right programmers, and voila, there ya go and then you can sit back and listen to all the people just like you complain and b***h about your game.

    2. DaihatsuDriver

      Actually he was listening, people all over said they wanted this car after it was only released to players for a limited time in a few countries. I’m glad he listened.

  42. DEATHSARTHE

    Probably just some type of publicity thing for that model car maker. I’ve given up on expecting anything truly NEW… probably more cars like this – same premiums with different liveries. Not the most exciting development, but I agree – at least its something.

  43. sutobe

    @daveydeez

    @ FlareKR

    thats not a Skyline!

    Why? Look at the trunk, is there “Skyline” stamped into the trunk lid?

    No? Well, that means its no Skyline!

    go make do your homework

  44. cassiusclay99

    Just thinking: kaz probably does this in exchange of some “technical/financial” help in his races driving a GT-R. There must be an explanation of this kind for this nonsense….

      1. another_jakhole

        I was going to type something different, but I realized something.

        The GT Academy cars are stock. The only thing that makes those cars different from a stock GT-R is the livery.

      2. jrkiwiboy

        To get the actual GT academy car you need to get god in all special licence tests. Its a stock V-spec with GT academy stickers on the bonnet and sides.

  45. p0p0ng

    OK, here’s my Ultimate DLC car wish.

    The FORD ESCORT MK1 & Mk2 and put it on any rally event, then I’m in for new GT6.

    Anybody up for this… then will get some signatures. thanks.

  46. OmniusGT

    Since we already have that car here in the UK, why not add the other Signature Edition car…. the Orange Merc SLS????

    1. dylpro

      I’d like that SLS it’d be really cool. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see it soon, the reason I think we see the GTR is because not everyone yet has the GTR worldwide. I think we will see SLS. Maybe a Christmas gift?

    2. Bom15

      it’s not like it would be hard to make. Orange with faded black stripes, black bottom stripe on the sides. Black rims with orange edges. Maybe some orange in the interior? But some people will complain. Oh its just the same car with a different livery. But tbh idc.
      Plz add it PD

  47. seanwdavis44

    I’m sorry, but there are just too many cars that have been left out of this game to have another GT-R. I understand the purpose and importance of every one, but I simply don’t understand how they extreme bias for Asian cars has made its way into a game as well respected as Gran Turismo, 3 Prius premiums, and 1 Aston Martin premium… Really?

  48. mercgoat

    Dont see why people are mad. Besides being free its a car it has been sittting on all hard drives since April. Its not new at all its just unlocking previous country exclusive content. I have wanted the car for a while and assume others may want the in-game car of the diecast they own. Hope they make the sls in the signature edition too.

    Hope the chromeline xj13 is released in the North America region as Europe and Japan have had a chance to get this car and we have not.The stealth 787b and r10 would be nice too but I just doubt all 3 right now.

  49. STVBDKD

    UPDATE: The GT Facebook page has now confirmed this event will be available world-wide.
    But Why Facebook I don’t have a facebook I got a twitter do a Twitter please.

  50. Ix-M0NTANA-xI

    OMG!!!! seriously?? whats wrong with you pd? wow . if i see 1 more gtr im going to take a sledgehammer to my playstation. retards.

    1. 88FoxBodyFan

      Do us all a favor and take a sledgehammer to you computer/ phone/ whatever also so we don’t have to hear you whine like a 3 year old anymore.

  51. dylpro

    Cut that short by mistake, on mobile. As i was going to say HYPOCRITE. If you complain about how were getting a FREE car but you go to get the car you are a HYPOCRITE. Now those complaining, actually read this and realize your ignorance, instead of calling Kaz ignorant. Lastly i will say again, this is a car thats already been featured in GT. Its nothing new! This has NO REVELANCE for what is to come in future DLC. Now would people please realize this! You are getting a free car! And if you don’t want it, don’t be a hypocrite, and don’t get it! It’s not hard. Open your eyes.

    1. another_jakhole

      Yea I know what you mean about the “boycotting” thing. They’re going to come back and say, “I won’t boycott it because A-Spec is useless!”

      AND
      It’s going to be free, so it’s even sadder that some people are getting frustrated because we’re getting “another GT-R”.

  52. dylpro

    And the last thing I’d wish to say before i end my rant, you get the car for competing in a challenge. If you don’t want it, boycott it and don’t do the challenge to get it. But i garuntee almost everyone complaining will go (big word here)

  53. dylpro

    Thank you Maveric. Yet many people are going on about it. I think they failed to read my previous 3 comments, or they may have been too lazy to completely read everything I wrote.

    Also @Marktyper. It’s not a Stealth model, it’s a Academy car.

    @adramire STOP THE COMPLAINING!!!!!!

    1. dylpro

      Be happy your getting a free car. and If you could actually READ you would realize THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING WITH WHAT IS TO COME! This is a car, that has been featured BEFORE. NOTHING NEW! How many times must I say this before people realize its not “another” GTR. PD hasn’t spent their time working on this. Adramire you are a VERY ignorant person, as is many people who are complaining.

    2. adramire

      Whether it is DLC or not people do not want so many GTR’s free or not do you get it? And if you have no problem with so many Jap cars in the game makes you the truly ignorant fan boy.

  54. marktyper

    Seriously I am a GTR (R34) fan but holy crap.. ANother R35 STealth model!? PD are you serious?! Well sorry but i’m sick of this.. Seriously I have approx 12 years of GT experience since 1998 but come on… I think it’s getting boring and boring now that’s why even I spend money to buy the Battlefield 3, it’s another different thrill. I know I shouldnt compare Racing and Shooting games but yes I always end up grabbing the controller than seating on my racing wheel.

    1. SKOT_FREE

      SMH…..Reading your whining rants is like actually hearing it. I wish you people would quit bitching like a woman on her period!

  55. recca

    like how many more GTRs could they give us?? this is bad promo for the GTR, makes us more sick of it not like it more..reviewers say it’s soul-less, it’s by no means a bad performer but it lacks the thrill of driving because it does everything for you

    1. recca

      i kid you not..i have but not fast..i’ve also driven porsches and from that I understood the difference of a fun car vs a really fast car…going fast is fun don’t get me wrong but it’s no fun if everything’s done for you….it’s same diff as to why every reviewer has chosen the 458 over mp4-12c

  56. maveric25

    dylpro i totally agree with you, there is so many new cars in GT5 and people complain of another car just because its Nissan, good god, grow up people, Nissan is currently one of the best out there

    Another thing, everyone that complains about “GT5 this”, “GT5 that”, stop complaining. You all should be greatful for having such a great game that has a big variety in vehicles, a game that has been called a simulator because of the physics it has. You all should be greatful that you have this great game, unlike those who play xbox that are stuck with that poor thing they “Forza Motorsports”, when it should be called “Failed Motorsports”. Be greatful & if you don’t like GT5 then don’t play so that us GT5 lovers don’t have to listen to all your complains.

    1. Kobooi

      If your game has so many new cars, you must be playing FM4. Check whether your console says Sony or Microsoft. If it says Microsoft, that would explain why you see so many new cars.

    2. another_jakhole

      Kobooi, you’re just not right.

      FM4 had less than 100 new cars. With that, you’ll still have to pay for a pretty good number of them.

      AAAAAND it’s not his game. It’s ours. Not yours, Kobooi. Thank goodness.

    3. Kobooi

      New cars are cars from 2010-2012. FM4 has a lot of them compared to GT5.
      Now you’ll want to reply we have 20 new nascar cars, but you won’t because you don’t want to look that ridiculous.

      And your last statement makes no sense at all. Come to my house and try to take my GT5 disc, we’ll find out if it’s mine or ours. Not that that has anything to do with yet another GT-R.

    4. lebes14

      Let’s get real now, I don’t care how many new cars pd gave us, there is a difference between quantity and variety. Fm4 has much better quality new cars. And they are set up in a way that you can have even races. Gt5 is so jumbled it’s a headache getting an even race unless you’re doing gt500 pr NASCAR. That being said, I love the game and play it every day. But to deny his point just doesn’t make sense. Gt5 has much room for improvement. At this point ONLY the physics set this game apart as exceptional. The content is all numbers low variety.

  57. Snaeper

    Yes! Finally! Having owned the collectors edition GT-R and it sitting in front of me taunting me all the time, I’m happy we’ll finally be able to get the car!

  58. PS3LUV3R

    Kaz is so ignorant. He doesn’t realize people want other things lol. Hopefully the next DLC will add some variety and satisfy a bigger range of players.

    1. dylpro

      I feel the need again to point out this isn’t a new car! He’s deciding to give it out for free, not as if they’ve been working on this as a big release. It’s already a car that’s been featured before! This isn’t honestly a big deal. This shows NOTHING of whats to come in the future.

  59. gt5fanatec

    I think this is just something to holdus over until the update and DLC coming in December. But I am looking forward to the car even though there are a TON of GT-R’s

  60. rjcraft16

    i have a question, how come eden games and EA can get porsche name but polyphony can’t is it because porsche likes to advertise more? (idk only a guess) great point BTW fureddo

  61. Ben Rogue

    Well, at least they are trying! I think Kaz and teh PD team need to realize that there are cars other than just the Nissan GT-R

    1. dylpro

      I’m sure they know. People must be really blind! This is in no regards to you personally sir, but as to many people. What about all the new SEMA cars featured? The Trans Cammer, the Art Morrison Vette. How about the two new RX7s from RE Amemiya? What about Lamborghini and Ferrari! Brand new to the GT series (exception of the NOMAD Diablo). The two FT86 “Supra” Concept cars? People complain about all this,
      “Oh we’re getting another (free) GTR this is such crap!”
      “Wow why can’t they give us a different car then a (free) GTR Stealth car?!”
      “Cool we get a new DLC which is probably the first of many to come, but of wait! Too many Skylines and GTRs! That just makes me mad!”
      And most recently, “Really ANOTHER (FREE) GT-R Academy car?”
      OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE OR PUT TAPE OVER YOUR MOUTHS PLEASE. With all due respect :)

  62. dylpro

    People need to quit the complaining. First, it’s a free car! Be happy you’re getting it at all! Second, it’s not “Another” GTR. It’s already been featured in the game, it’s just now be featured in America. I’m happy as this is one I’ve always wanted but I could never get it being in the USA. But like I said, please stop your complaining. Suck it up and thank Kaz for once eh? THANK YOU KAZ.

  63. fureddo

    Freebies are always welcome, whatever they are! And I’m glad with this one though I already have plenty of them.
    The point is the global balance of the game. Why offering so many versions of Skylines GT-R or MX5 or NASCAR while so many iconic rides are missing?
    I liked the interview Jordan did because it stresses Kaz’ fear of introspection. For sure positive critics are always a cheer, but if so many people complain about the diversity of the cars, why not facing the problem on earnest? He said the reason why they didn’t modelize the Veyron or Ruf in premium was a matter of time, not a matter of choice.
    I strongly disagree with that statement. At the first stage of development, they had a list of 1000 cars to CHOOSE from. It would be pure amateurism to say they did it randomly; and there is no amateur at PD.
    GT5 actually reveals its weakness in terms of project and priority management. Focusing on detail features while basic functions are missing is another example. I would like GT fanboys to hold their horses; I’m no teenage turd whining washout GT5 while playing Forza 4; I have no Xbox and played all GT games. My point is that we entered a new era in video games, where developers have the possibility to polish their games afterwards. To me it’s a great opportunity to make a legendary game out of GT5. But oh, GT6 is already in the back mirror…
    Let us hope they will learn from GT5 mistakes!

    1. AERO_HDT

      I totally agree with you fureddo – the biggest drawback it seems is the fact that PD are too hooked on details and have some glaring issues with project management and overall vision. You need to start with a global view and then narrow down to the details, however I get the feeling that PD always starts off with what they can do with “one car” and then expand upon that capability, working from the inside OUT, instead of the outside IN.

      Let’s hope that GT6 isn’t far off the horizon.

      And for everyone who’s complaining about the R35, it’s a FREE CAR! No skin off your nose, it’s all good!

  64. RazorPrime

    Please sir, I want some more. (yay more GT-Rs…. seriously? Seriously?!) Ah well another car to my garage. Thank you.

  65. iridegravity

    yeah. I think if I were Nissan’s marketing guy or another manufacturer’s investing in GT5. I would be careful of over exposure of your Brand, especially in this arena. Seems like over saturation swings sentiment the other way. Of course the fan boys won’t cry, but they already love the GTR. It’s the rest of us on the fence or indifferent being turned off by the ramming of it down our throat. I know I am sick of GTR’s in GT5 as additional content, Starts to make you kind of resent them, especially when so many great cars are missing.

    1. FlareKR

      Yes, the car you see presented in front of you in your computer screen is in fact an automobile made by a Japanese car company called Nissan and the specific model is called the GT-R, also known to many as a Skyline, so yes, it is another Skyline. What is your next educated question, sir?

    1. FlareKR

      If you flip it over, and it says Kyosho, the spring is at the next corner, the wheel is at the starting line, and the car is on fire. My experience with every fricken Kyosho RC car.

  66. speedy_2

    You just used “balanced” and “Skylines” in the same sentence when talking about GT. LOL. Has any version of GT been well balanced when it comes to Nissans? lol. I’m still playing GT5, but getting tired of the heavy bias towards Nissan. Didn’t we only have 1 US car in the DLC pack? How about Cadillac “V” models? I don’t really count the standard cars since they are just straight out of GT4. Graphics quality included. I feel like the only part of this game that is new are the Premium cars and some of the tracks. I actually preferred some of the original tracks the way they were in previous GT’s. High Speed ring seems so wide and open now. Especially compared to the GT1 version. Does anyone remember the GT1 version of HSR? I loved it.

    1. EliteDreamer

      Skyline comment: You must not have actually tuned one thoroughly
      DLC Car comment: There’s something called licensing, PD doesn’t hold licenses forever
      HSR: Yes, it was a lot of fun. :)

    2. danger23

      I AGREE CUZ THE GT-R IS GETTING TIRED I HAVE AT LEASE 8 OR 9 OF THEM THEY ALMOST RULE MY GARAGE NOT INCLUDING THE ONES FROM DLC.THE ONLY THING REFREHING IS THE NSX STAELTH .

  67. freshseth83

    Complainers, man! I’m glad were getting the car for free! I’m not a Nissan fanboy, but any new car is a good car!

  68. XoravaX

    Thank god it’s available for four weeks since I’ve just started Le Mans 24h and wouldn’t want to start over just to get a car.

    1. kevboi

      Where did you find that out? Hope your right, im currently 14hours into lemans 24hr going to take me a few more days to finish

  69. speedy_2

    With all the Nissan’s in this game I really wonder how much PD is getting from them. I mean…..come on. How many versions of the R35 are there? Much less All the other Nissans. There are so many cars that aren’t even in the game, yet it’s loaded with Nissan. YAWN . . . . . . . . . .

    1. another_jakhole

      Loaded with Japanese cars from past GT games.

      People seem to forget that there are 800 standards. Yes there are a lot of premium Nissans, but they’re not all GT-R’s. GT5 has a “well-balanced” amount of premium Skylines.

    2. speedy_2

      You just used “balanced” and “Skylines” in the same sentence when talking about GT. LOL. Has any version of GT been well balanced when it comes to Nissans? lol. I’m still playing GT5, but getting tired of the heavy bias towards Nissan. Didn’t we only have 1 US car in the DLC pack? How about Cadillac “V” models?

High Speed ring seems so wide and open now. Especially compared to the GT1 version. Does anyone remember the GT1 version of HSR? I loved it.

    3. another_jakhole

      Didn’t even read all of what this guy said. That first sentence proves he’s ignorantly defending his side. Maybe people should stop taking things as literally as they are. I tried making a comment that was fool-proof in getting a dumb reply, but no.

      I said, “Premium”.

      And by Skylines, I mean the R35, R34, R33, R32. They’re not excessive in the Premium list. In the Standard list, of course they are.

      People sock.

    4. lebes14

      Even the premiums have more of that single car then any other car. Gtr 07, gtr proto, gtr black mask, gtr vspec. Should I mention all the gtr race cars that are premium as well? GT-r is a great car sure, but it’s really over kill when you look at the lack of…well everything else. I do enjoy driving the gtr on occasion however, it is a great car no matter how much it’s showed down our throats. I’d just like to see more of my favorites, some BMW’s.

  70. BNGTracer

    I hope this means Kaz will do a Special Event with the SLS model that was included in the Australian Signature Edition some time in the future too???

    1. Bom15

      I would also like the Signature edition SLS model in game. Orange & Black scheme works well imo. I got the GTR already. But as the GTR is available for a 2nd time. This time for everyone. does this mean the Nissan 370 be available for everyone at somepoint? I hope so. I’m only missing that, the XJ13 Chromeline and edge camaro.

    2. DaihatsuDriver

      The 370Z GT Academy can be acquired by anyone with a 2008 ticket a 1000 ticket and a level 12 ticket. If your in Europe your probably also missing the Joey Lagano Game Stop Toyota Camry (fantasy) NASCAR

    3. Bom15

      Oh yeah thanks i forgot The gamestop Nascar. I don’t particurlarly want it though. I got enough Nascars gathering dust in my garage.

  71. swiftwilly

    kind of sad that they always have to do “US” only or “ASIA” only. Sony needs to get with the times and do it worldwide. not PD’s fault.

    1. danger23

      AND I UNDERSTAND THAT PART OF IT BECAUSE THIS IS HIS BABY (GT). I THINK IT’S A GREAT GAME BUT IF IT WAS MADE IN ANOTHER PART OF THE WORLD IT WOULD BE TAYLORED TO THAT PART OF THE WORLD I REALIZE THAT THIS GAME IS BORN AND RAISED IN JAPAN “SO YEAH” HE’S GONNA FEATURE MORE CARS FROM HIS COUNTRY THAN ANYWHERE. I THINK THERE LISTENING IT’S GOING GET BETTER LOL HOW BETTER CAN THIS GAME I,M AFRAID TO SEE THE NEXT ONE IT’S GOING TO BE AMAZING.

  72. tigersharkdude

    Ok, so im going in for surgery monday should be home a day or so later,will i be able to get this or is it a one day only thing

  73. HuskyGT

    I´m happy with my GT Academy Spec-V. The one that I really wnt to try is the one the Mr. Yamauchi raced in the 24h of Nurburgring.

  74. Amac500

    OH BOY, another Japenesse car, another Nissian none the less. Don’t get me wrong free cars are great and all but I sure wish wecould get more variety. Let’s more European and American cars in special events / add ons / give-sways

    1. Drakhor

      I agree. I should be feeling gratefull for another free car but to be honest I don’t care anymore. My garage is stuffed with Nissans.

      IKR?! I understand they’re partnered with Nissan, but they need to stop kissing Nissan’s ass with all of these GT-R’s!!!

  75. killler526

    FINALLY! It should have been available to the people who bought the collectors edition from day one. Glad to hear this news though. :)

    1. sinister_300zx

      lol mmhhhhmmmm is it reallly for your daughter :P joking…i think everyone loves GT-R’s so gifting one is always good

    1. McSoap-90

      Not everyone in Europe got it… Only the countries with the most population.

      So, me coming from little Norway, didn’t get it.

    2. speedthrill

      Same here in Belgium. Together with countries like Norway we didn’t participate in the gt academy event…
      Maybe only half of Europe actually did. So nice to see this car getting my way, because I DON’T HAVE IT!!!

  76. hennesy

    To celebrate the start of broadcasting of this year’s GT Academy TV show across Europe and around the world, Gran Turismo fans from all countries including those that were not able to be involved with this year’s Academy, will be able to take part in a special Academy-inspired seasonal event.

    Gran Turismo 5 players will be able to compete in a special Time Trial Challenge seasonal event, which will unlock a bonus car for use in other modes of the game.

    The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge, which takes place on a special Eifel Circuit 105A track designed by Polyphony Digital using the in-game Course Maker mode, puts players behind the wheel of a Nissan GT-R Spec V.

    What’s more, by taking part in the event players will receive a GT Academy SPECIAL Nissan GT-R Spec V just for competing in the event

    1. FlareKR

      I just broke the passenger (right) rear view mirror of mine’s while I was dusting it. Damn’ Kyosho never makes things to last, their RC cars disintegrate at mere fender benders and their models are no better.

      Why are you complaining about the Skylines? Did you not know that this game is called GT”R”5?

    2. MatskiMonk

      Who’s complaining?

      and yes, many die-casts do struggle to stand the test of time outside of their packaging, it’s not just Kyosho.

    3. 07_HSV_GTS

      There is too many skylines, Hondas and Mitsubishi’s in this game, there needs to be more Holden’s!! And Bathurst.

    4. TakeshiSkunk

      FlareKR: I just broke the passenger (right) rear view mirror of mine’s while I was dusting it. Damn’ Kyosho never makes things to last, their RC cars disintegrate at mere fender benders and their models are no better.

      The hell is wrong with you, I’ve been racing Mini-Zs for well over a year now and still have my original body and have broken no chassis parts save my original T-Plate at one of my most recent races in a freak head on after wall contact. Very cheap and easy repair and I was running good as new.

      My NSX body is pretty beat up and I plan to replace it when the Takata Dome 2002 NSX reissue comes out, but it’s still totally driveable. All the serious damage to the body came from very severe, hard crashes and my chassis has never been damaged in the slightest. We must have very different definitions of “fender bender.”

      It’s worth mentioning that I also have one of the new Mini-Z buggies and have beaten the living hell out of it off roading. I only started having stuff break on it once I replaced the motor with the most stupidly powerful thing available at our shop, and that was only because the stock components were never designed to work with anything that excessive. Upgrading to something reasonable would have caused no problems whatsoever (but holy god this new motor is fun).

  77. con360

    I really hope this comes to Europe and Asia aswell!
    I already have one from the EU GT:A but I wouldn’t mind another ;)

    1. RACECAR

      Doubt it will happen since Europe already got this via GT Academy. Asia on the other hand, maybe. Either case, I”m glad I’ll be getting it as it be the closest thing I get to getting the GT Academy GT-R (until I eventually win the damn thing).

    2. Bom15

      @ RACECAR That GT Academy GTR u win in the licence is a different one. Its jus a normal looking GTR with a few black stickers. This black version u can’t win. Well unless u do the upcoming Seasonal.

    1. Taunto_Svt

      Oh yay another Nissan. Let’s all clap and jump for joy. Cause the 15 other skylines and GTR cars in the game aren’t enough. Want to add more cars? Add the aerial atom, the new M3 GTR DTM car. More DTM cars,

      Why not more formula one cars besides Ferrari, like red bull and mclearn and lotus, we have every NASCAR in the game for the red necks and hill Billy’s. Why not more F1 cars for us more civilized people.

    2. CorporateHammer

      Calm down, think about where Kaz lives and then try to understand why he would put Japanese automobiles in his game. I would also like to see a number of cars not in the game but seriously, you do realize to put more F1 cars in the game there would be a fee which would have to be paid in order to do so. They have every NASCAR in the game because those royalties were paid and figured into the cost of development. The car is free, don’t want it then don’t download it.

    3. Imtheboss53

      taunto. That was the most childish and inmature thing ive ever read. Idk why u think that sport is only for ” rednecks ” im a fan of all racing. Not a redneck And how is 230 mph civilized? I understand ur frustration but dude. C’mon grow up a little.

    4. madracer

      OHHHH LORD!!!! AGAIN?? We are getting tired of this same car over and over again!!!Enough of GT-R. Is this a GT-R Simulator?? It’s supposed to be a The Real Driving Simulator – Remember That?? So put some real deals in the game like:

      Ariel ATOM
      Ferrari 250 GTO
      Ferrari 288 GTO
      Ferrari F40 Competecione
      Ferrari F50
      Ferrari XX and 599 GTO
      Aston Martin DBS

      Koenigsseg CCX and Agera
      Porsshhes or Recent RUF’s
      VW Scirroco R

      More exciting car list than GT-R’s list and all Europeans =)

    5. TeamCZRRacing

      @Taunto_Svt The reason there aren’t any more F1 cars in the game is because Bernie Ecclestone is an idiot and won’t let PD put them in. Bernie (and the FIA, who organizes F1) owns the licensing rights to every team in the sport except for Ferrari, who owns their own rights. Maybe Bernie will see reason in time for GT6, but we won’t be seeing F1 cars in GT5. As for the others, you can rest assured that PD asked all of those as well, but they turned them down for their own reasons.

    6. TorqueHappenS08

      I’m replying to Corporatehammer not you diamond1586
      Why do people always say look where yamauchi san lives? He lives in Tokyo, which has a extremely high concentration of ALL types cars, it does not matter if it’s american, European or anything, you will see it in Tokyo, it’s basically car city. And i think everybody knows that, i mean for example they have huge push rod V8 muscle car clubs all over the place and not to mention all the american, European and Asian-non Japanese brands sold there as well. saying just because he lives in Tokyo is no excuse it’s not like he lives in a 3rd world country with only Nissan cars driving around.

    7. CorporateHammer

      @TorqueHappenS08

      I understand what your saying but you have to take into account their culture which is highly supportive of home made products. I guess someone should ask Kaz himself why he didn’t add more American cars and others. I honestly don’t know what Tokyo is like but I do know most Japanese people buy Japanese made products. I also know that there is a 15% to 25% sales tax (which goes to Japanese auto makers) on all import cars sold there which puts import cars out of most people’s price range.

      Oh yay another Nissan. Let’s all clap and jump for joy. Cause the 15 other skylines and GTR cars in the game aren’t enough. Want to add more cars? Add the aerial atom, the new M3 GTR DTM car. More DTM cars,

      Why not more formula one cars besides Ferrari, like red bull and mclearn and lotus, we have every NASCAR in the game for the red necks and hill Billy’s. Why not more F1 cars for us more civilized people.

      no , theres only 11 nascars in the game dumb a $ $!!!!! theres like 50 of them on the track every sunday now aint there???

      I concur with madracer.

      I/we understand Kaz is from Japan, but are you saying Japan is that close minded in the world of racing? I beg to differ sir those people are HUGE into racing and that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t add more “race cars” into GT5 instead of BS cars that no one will be touching, like the Nissan Cube and other 30hp cars that no one has ever heard of before.
      I’m tired of seeing only JDM’s in my used dealership, I want some more variety and I agree 100% with madracers list of cars that NEED to be in this car.

      Taunto if you don’t like the gtr’s then don’t use them, or dump them from your garage. I on the other hand love this cars, one of the best cars in game and in life.

      Bad News Folks!!! This “New Spec-V GT-R” is the same one that we have won in Nissan Time Trial about 6 months ago. Neither paint or spec is different…Nice try PD but it still MEDIOCRE!!!!!!!!

      I STRONGLY AGREE WITH MADRACER those are the exact cars that should be added, and just straight up add them free because when I spent a bunch money on the game to have the game, not a partial version! I mean why the hell can I not even race mod my Italia or anything and why the hell am I racing a crappy 4 hour Mazda roadster endurance race at little Jap Tsukuba again instead of running the Rolex 24 at Daytona? It’s things like that!!!! It’s ni even like the GT-R is the best car, IT’S NOT EVEN SPECIAL, it should be on the game but I shouldn’t have 70 of them!!!!! Give me go Le Mans GT cars and prototypes, FREE BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE FULL GAME, and stop givin me Jap crap!!!! The don’t even add good ones like the Nissian LMP2 car the GT Academy winner drivers, or even give me Nissian’s lmp1 for next year but no more Jap touring cars!!!!!!

      This is clearly an endless debate, but I’ll throw my two-cents in. Yes, Kaz and the gang are based, and live in Japan which makes it obvious that there my be a strong Japanese bias in the cars. I think that they’ve made their point already. There is a LOT of GT-R’s skylines, imprezza’s and the sort. If people are complaining about the licensing issues, I don’t really know what you’re talking about. There ARE ferrari’s, lambo’s, audi’s, mercs and bimmers in the game already, so I’m pretty sure they have licenses… It’s ultimately up to them, but I’m pretty sure they would get positive feedback if they threw in some more variety to the future DLC’s.
