Discover Gran Turismo

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Real Driving Simulator. 

"Gran Turismo is an integrated simulator for enjoying life with cars. It's a sandbox where players can freely discover experiences on their own.

"Various features, the engines and systems supporting these on the back end, along with the massive amount of content, will set players up to enjoy their life with cars."

- Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital

The evolution of racing simulation

From past to present, and towards the future.

Years of innovation

Gran Turismo was created from the inspiration of the rich culture of automobiles that had grown throughout the 20th century. 

Gran Turismo and car culture

Gran Turismo was designed to awaken people to the allure of cars. Even without any prior knowledge about cars, players would find appreciation and joy in controlling, owning, designing and tuning them.

Technological innovation

Gran Turismo has come a long way, and with GT7 on PS5, players will experience a new level of realism supported by incredible graphics with ray tracing, 3D audio with 3rd order Ambisonics, immersive feedback and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller, unprecedented speed and much more.

Gran Turismo history

GT Academy

From Virtual to Reality, there’s a driver in us all.

GT Academy started off as a simple question: Can you turn a good Gran Turismo driver into a real-life professional race car driver? Nissan and GT Academy held the first GT Academy in 2008, and since then have created more than a dozen professional race car drivers, defying both common sense and motorsports tradition. 

FIA Gran Turismo Championships

The future of motorsports.

The FIA Gran Turismo Championships, established in 2018, is a new motorsport event presented by Gran Turismo and the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile).

Vision GT

What if there are no limitations to your design and vision for a dream automobile?

The Vision Gran Turismo project started with a single question from Gran Turismo founder Kazunori Yamauchi: “Would you design your rendition of the ideal GT for us?” GT stands for Gran Turismo or Grand Tourer (where the game got its name from) which describes a sporty performance car. Many manufacturers accepted our offer, and now there are many “ideal” Grand Touring cars represented in the game. 

Vision Gran Turismo, which began as a project to celebrate the game’s 15th anniversary, continues to bring together the automotive passions of the users and the car companies. The cars have been introduced one at a time throughout the Gran Turismo series, and the project will only increase in popularity as more players sample these unique machines. Learn more.
