Even though right now the triple B (big, bad and black) Sony console has been somewhat of a slumbering beast, owners, or potential owners should be happy to hear about some new details regarding Gran Turismo 5’s release.

For the early look at the real Gran Turismo 5, Yamauchi is planning for 40 cars, 4 tracks, 12-player online races, friends list support and an online mode with chat.

Although that might not sound like a lot to you, if you consider that each Gran Turismo 5 car takes about a month of modeling work just to finish the design, I think that the things included in this pre-release are more than acceptable. I mean… just look at it!
