The cars in ‘Gran Turismo 6’ are very pretty, and we have pics to prove it

By

When Gran Turismo 6 is released worldwide on December 6, it will feature 1200 cars from manufacturers based around the world. While the next-gen consoles have stolen all the love when it comes to graphical fidelity, the Gran Turismo series has long been renowned for its accurate digital vehicle representations. The gravel may not fly off the side of the road quite as realistically as in a next-gen racing game, but the cars still look incredible.

Don’t believe us? Check out the images above. Gran Turismo 6 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive, so all the images are taken from that system.

We’ll have a review of Gran Turismo 6 on Friday, but for now behold the glory of cool looking digital cars.

Gran Turismo 7 is back online following update error
Three cars come racing around a tight turn in Gran Turismo 7.

After going offline, leaving most of its features unplayable for any users for over 24 hours, Gran Turismo 7 is back up, with its developer, Polyphony Digital, explaining just what happened.

In a post on the game's website, Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi explained that what should have been a simple update rollout led to its latest PlayStation exclusive racing title being unavailable for a day. "Immediately before the release of the 1.07 update," reads the post, "we discovered an issue where the game would not start properly in some cases on product versions for the PS4 and PS5." The developer went on to explain that this error could have somehow impacted users' save data, leading to the game's outage.

Gran Turismo 7: Best tuning settings and cars for Sport Mode
A driver stands next to his yellow sports car in Gran Turismo 7.

Gran Turismo 7 has two schools of multiplayer to consider. Racers tired of competing against A.I. can head down to the multiplayer pavilion in the lower right corner of the over-world map. Alternatively, drivers looking for more competitive action can opt for Sport Mode. In this ranked multiplayer mode, carried over from Gran Turismo: Sport, players compete in daily races to increase their driver ranking (DR). However, they'll need to know the best tuning settings for Sport Mode if they want to win (or even place) in daily races.

Each daily race (A, B, or C) comes with certain restrictions on weight and horsepower. However, with so many cars to choose from, only hindered by horsepower (HP) and weight requirements, how can racers still get a competitive edge? This guide will go over a few essential tips surrounding the best tuning settings for Sport Mode. We'll also dive into what upgrades you need to buy and how to know which cars are best, or "meta," if you will.

The best starting cars in Gran Turismo 7
Three American muscle cars line up against a dark background.

You won't be whipping around turns in Corvettes and Lamborghinis early on in Gran Turismo 7. Instead, you're given a limited number of used cars to choose from -- cars your parents probably picked you up from school in. While you're free to upgrade these low-PP cars to give them a little more horsepower, there are several ways to unlock better cars early in Gran Turismo 7. What if we told you there's a way to unlock some of the best cars in the game before you ever touch the World Circuit races?

Now, "the best cars" in a game like Gran Turismo 7 are left up to personal preference. For now, there's no necessary "meta" car to use in World Circuits or online. Furthermore, different races come with certain restrictions, making the "best car" in the European campaign useless in the United States. To get the most out of the early game, players need a set of rides to switch between depending on where they're racing. Here are the best starting cars in Gran Turismo 7 and how to unlock them.
