Sony has announced Gran Turismo 6 will be on the PlayStation 3 this holiday season.

Gran Turismo 6 will launch with an impressive list of over 1,200 vehicles, including all of the cars from Gran Turismo 5, as well as historic cars, road cars and the latest race cars. A selection of thousands of aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all of the cars, allowing players to customize their own in-game vehicles.

Seven new locations will be added to Gran Turismo 6, including the UK’s famous Silverstone Circuit, bringing the total to 33 tracks, with 71 different layouts available at launch. Additional monthly DLC will continue to expand the track and layout options.

During the announcement of Silverstone Circuit Kazunori Yamauchi explained,

It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo. Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments. I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will be only the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!

Here is the trailer for the upcoming Gran Turismo 6.

17 May 2013 ~ 10:57am BuddyJ I will buy this. I will play it. I will spend all my in-game money buying slow old cars that look cool and then raging when they don't win every race. I will make excuses for the franchise when people criticize Polyphony Digital for only having 1,200 cars and 600 of them are Nissan Skyline variants.
