Gran Turismo 5 – 18 Megapixel NASCAR Previews

Polyphony Digital has released a series of high-resolution Gran Turismo 5 previews, showing us some of the title’s NASCAR Sprint Cup cars on track and in the showroom.

The images come in full 18 megapixel resolution, giving us a chance to check out even the smallest details on the cars and the environment. Being 5760×3240 pixels in size, the images may take a little while to load.

Since the image-viewer resizes the images to fit your screen resolution, make sure to either view them in full size in the viewer (click the green arrow at the bottom) or  right-click the images and open them in a new tab.

Gran Turismo 5 will be bringing 1000 cars and over 60 tracks to the Playstation 3, including new features such as damage, weather and day/night effects. GT5 will be one of the first six Playstation 3 games to be available in 3D. The title will be out on November 2nd in the North & Latin America, release dates for Europe and Japan have not been confirmed yet.

    can’t wait for gt5 as I’ll be buying my first 3d tv just in time for this title!

    Hmm,  the car body textures aren’t hi-res enough for renders this size.  They’d need to be at least 4096×4096.  I’m surprised too that it’s missing some bump maps in places where it could have them.

    the textures definitely aren’t good enough for this high resolution, but the models look great as always.

    for some maybe driving stock car sims is boring. If we’re talking about watching racing on tv than nascar is one of the most exciting forms of racing. You want to watch BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RING on tv, watch an f1 event, now that crap is boring with it’s follow the leader nonsense. They cant race those cars cuz they might break something on it. *yawn*

    Nascar and F1 and two whole different types of racing. It’s like comparing Basketball to Soccer.

  • zer0ryd3r

    key that, nascar and f1 ARE two different types of racing, not and. It is like comparing basketball to soccer, but one is more exciting to watch than the other. Same with nascar and f1. F1 isnt racing, more like multi car time trials.
