I did not get any preorder cars or the like. So I'm glad I can earn one in a seasonals.

Was this car given away during any other on-line special event?

The way it is written up:

"a limited edition vehicle, featuring the same design as the Kyosho diecast GT-R Spec V that was available exclusively in the Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition"



Oh, and I like how this is worded: "players can unlock a very special Nissan GT-R for use just by competing in the event"

and this is the preorder car:

It's just a race modded GT-R with Stelth mock up. It'll prolly be the same calibur as the V-35 GT-R TC.

Is it just me or does the new one look a bit like the special Academy GT-R that was given away in the EU region for participating in an Academy time trial event?

It does. That would be good.  I'd be down to missing 4 cars (3 stealth and the chrome line jag).

Body wise it's prolly the same, just a different skin

Mygranturismo.net has a picture just like the die cast car not like the photos you showed.  They are definitely different.  I guess their picture isn't too accurate.

I take that back. You are showing the academy cars that we can get in game not the special car only available in Europe until this point.

Yeah, the one I'm talking about is the ..

Nissan  GT-R SpecV (GT Academy Special)



.. according to myGranTurismo.net.  There's two with an almost identical name, the Academy Special from the EU event and the Academy Version from the License prize, ironically the picture of the Academy Special / EU one (above) looks very similar to the diecast model pic that MastrGT posted so I would assume they're recycling that content.

Let me be the first to say how overjoyed and excited I am to have another special car pox-riddled GT-R in the game!

Sounds like Feldynn is having a Tallstar kind of week. Anything PD does just puts another target on them.

Actually, I agree Feldynn. Another frickin GT-R. I think the Japanese automakers are Nissan is competing to see how many of their cars GT-Rs they can convince PD to include.

Fix'd   :D

Raise your hand if you're going to get the free pox-ridden GT-R as soon as you can log on and do the time trial thing?





As pox-ridden as it may be, it's free!  Free pox for everyone!  Err wait..
