GTPlanet Members,

As you may or may not be aware, the Gran Turismo HD demo for the PlayStation 3 was just made available by free download from the PlayStation Network! This new demo is a Gran Turismo 5 "preview" of sorts, to give a hint at what the Polyphony Digital team is capable of on the new gaming system. It includes one new track, the "Eiger Nordwand", and 10 cars including the '96 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR, '94 Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II, and '06 Ferrari 599. As your times get progressively faster, the faster cars become available, "Drift Mode" is unlocked, and the Eiger can be run in reverse. Fastest times are posted to online Leaderboards, and you can download these hot laps and check them out for yourself. If you have a PS3, start your download now and join the other lucky GTPlanet members in the Gran Turismo HD forum - if not, we have plenty of high definition footage and screenshots to hold you over.

Out of the "700" or so cars in GT4, 500 are Z's, Skylines, RX-7's, Miatas, Civics which are pretty much all the same across the board.

However I love the 599 and 2002ti.
