Gran Turismo 5 (also known as GT5) is the fifth edition of Sony/Polyphony Digital's racing video game series, Gran Turismo. Expanding on the Prologue version, which was first released in Japan in October 2007 and intended to give an impression of the final game, it will be the first of the main numbered series to feature on the PlayStation 3.

As found in the Prologue, and for the first time in the numbered Gran Turismo series, the game is set to feature cars from Ferrari, including the Ferrari F2007 Formula One world championship car.[2] In addition to Prologue features, it will also include the Top Gear Test Track featured in the BBC motoring show, and will greatly expand on the number of cars available, to over 900[3]. As well as Ferraris there will also be other super cars featured such as the Audi R8 and Ford GT (05) and the Bugatti Veyron. There will also be a 16 player online mode as in GT5 Prologue.

In an April 2008 interview, Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that 150 people had worked on Gran Turismo 5 for four years, with all of Polyphony Digital's 120 employees working on GT5, and the game costing 50 times more to develop than Gran Turismo.[1] He also confessed that GT5 might not be released until after 2009.[1]
