Gran Turismo 6 Update v1.09 released

Gran Turismo 6 Update v1.09 Released

Polyphony Digital released a Gran Turismo 6 update bringing the PlayStation 3 title to version 1.09. This update introduces a very interesting list of enhancements and new content.

As part of the Vision Gran Turismo Series,  the “Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo” has been released. (Video below) While that is an interesting car to say the least, it is not the only car that is added to the list of content. The 2013 GT-R NISMO GT3 Nissan GT Academy Team RJN, 2011 Lexus IS F CCS-R and the 2012 Toyota TS030 Hybrid make their appearance in Gran Turismo 6. With the Le Mans 24h just behind us, the Toyota TS030 LMP1 car will surely be welcomed by many endurance fans.

While new cars are great, a vast majority of the community is always on the lookout for a new track. They will be thrilled to see that in this Gran Turismo 6 update the Red Bull Ring has become part of the circuit selection. To conclude the features of the update, Polyphony Digital have implemented a selection of improvements and adjustments in both the Online and Offline part of the game.
