More exciting news to add is that five functioning Mercedes-Benz Vision GT Concept cars will be created with 2014 SLS AMG car as the base model.

Mr. Yamauchi also revealed a unique Japanese concept of “shokunin”  (means a master craftsman or artisan) used in the game. Accordingly, Polyphony Digital has a policy of “one person, one car” in which each car model in Gran Turismo is built from scratch to complete by a single person.

Regarding the future of Gran Turismo franchise, Kazunori Yamauchi mentioned that currently the priority of the company is to regularly give updates to Gran Turismo 6, although development of next-gen GT7 has already started.
