We had a chance this morning to be one of the first to drive the GTbyCITROEN Concept on Gran Turismo 5: Prologue at the Paris Auto Show. The car, easily the hottest concept here at the show, was designed as a joint venture between Citroen and Polyphony Digital, the makers of Gran Turismo. We'll gladly admit we are not virtuosos of GT5, as we should be, but once we figured out what everything did, it was off to the races. By our uncalibrated estimates, the GTbyCITROEN has a tendency to understeer more than we expected, but it is fast, and it'll handle high speeds pretty well. Oh, and after we took a look inside the concept, we were interested to see that dash provides a sweet heads-up unit displaying current velocity. We totally need to get a PS3. More »

There has been a rumor floating around for a while that automaker Citroen would partner with Polyphony Digital to create a car exclusive for their game Grand Turismo Prologue and that a real version would debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. Seems that rumor has some legs as a few teaser shots and a video have surfaced and they show a very low GT style car we can only assume will be digitally fast, and Frenchly weird. Check out the video for the teasiest of teasers along with images below. More »

Details have emerged from Sony's "PlayStation Day" in London that Nissan will be sponsoring a Gran Turismo-branded competition with one hell of an eventual prize: the opportunity to compete in a 24-hour race in Dubai next January. Getting to that race is quite the task, though. Beginning on May 23 you can fire up your PlayStation 3 and hit up the PlayStation Network to begin the dirty work of qualifying by virtual driving races. More »

The mastermind behind the Gran Turismo series has proven that he can handle real cars as well as he took the 2009 Nissan GT-R for a joy ride. Not only could the game's creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, handle the famed Nurburgring track, but he did so with it wet. Yamauchi even cites his familiarity with the track from the video game to help his real life driving. I doubt Yamauchi beat the 7:29 mark on the same ring, but he manages to keep it on the slippery track. See, Mom, video games are good for something. Check out the video above for the clips of him driving and follow the link to see the entire clip that features interviews about Godzilla and more. [CarScoop] More »

In honor of yesterday's release of GT5 Prologue we've been holding on to a few video game QOTD's. Monday, we asked you about your favorite racing video game from the 1980's, yesterday it was racing games of the 1990's and today we're looking at the post-Y2K years when, despite the fall of civilization and technology, we have some pretty kicking games. By asking this question today we also give anyone insane enough to buy GT5 yesterday and play it the chance to chime in. But maybe there are some Project Gotham fans out there? More »
