About Gran Turismo® 4
The Gran Turismo series has sold over 36 million copies and Gran Turismo® 4 continues where Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec left off. Fuelled by game designer Kazunori Yamauchi's passion for cars, Gran Turismo® 4 has taken producers Polyphony Digital four years to develop and is the largest video game ever made. It would take more than 120 days of playing 24-hours non-stop just to sample each car on every track for just five minutes.
