Model S in Gran Turismo 6 announcement trailer

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I am very excited to see the Model S featured prominently in the Gran Turismo 6 announcement trailer (at 55 second mark). GT 6 Announcement | Gran Turismo 6 is coming | #GT6isComing - USK - YouTube. I was worried that I was going to have to go frame-by-frame through all the headlights and taillights they flashed through. Hope they get the performance right and don't hamper the car's performance like they did with the Roadster in GT5.

I think they took a little liberty with the Signature silver (it looks a bit bronze) but not off the reservation.

Also, they didn't opt for the spoiler.


I didn't see any shots in the barrage of front lights, rear lights, and speedometer images.

Signature silver? Also, to be the downer here, is the handling of the S up to par enough to be featured in a racing game?
 
I've always wondered, do video games such as this have to pay the car companies to use their cars?

The game makers must obtain a license to use the real cars in the video games. I believe many companies allow their cars to be used in GT for free for the exposure. Porsche has an exclusive arrangement with EA, so you must drive a RUF instead in non-EA games.

Nice to see it's been added, but no physics engine on the planet can compete with the video game parked in the garage.

Yes, but I'm a little more tolerant of crash risk in the video game Tesla.

The game has 1200 cars, so being the ideal track car is not a requirement. Lots of people race very mundane cars in GT. I'm sure the Model S will be a big hit among racers for its straight line acceleration and novelty. I think it's telling that the Model S was one of the cars selected for the trailer.
 
Awww, it's only for Playstation? I don't like racing games much but thought it might be worth looking into just because of the Model S...I won't go as far as getting a playstation just to be able to race a Model S. Driving the real one once it comes should be good enough ;)

PS3 at that. If I'm going to buy a new game in December it will be for the PS4 or Xbox One.
 
Yes, it's officially listed in the game as a "2012 Model S Signature Edition."

And yeah, Andrewket, you'll have two likely very good choices for racing games on Xbox One and PS4 this holiday: Forza Motorsport 5 for Xbox One and Drive Club for PS4.

I am an editor on IGN, a big video game website, so as soon as I'm able to get my hands on the Model S in GT6, I'll be sure to let everyone here know how it compares to the real thing. :biggrin:
