During the annual Tokyo Motor Show this year, Sony and car manufacturer Toyoto will together unveil the latter’s new FT-86 Concept Car in a special version of the former’s Gran Turismo 5, which will be on display at the show, where attendees will be able to catch a glimpse of the car in all of its digital glory.
The Tokyo Motor Show kicks off this weekend in Chiba (which is also where the Tokyo Game Show takes place) where car manufacturers and exhibitors from around the world (mostly from Japan, though) will be showing off their latest machines and innovations.
Sony has kicked off their TV ad campaign for Gran Turismo for PSP, launching across the US this Thursday, the 1st of October, alongside the new PSPgo.

Sony has announced a limited edition Gran Turismo PSP Entertainment Pack which will launch mid-October, shortly after Gran Turismo makes its first appearance on the PSP at the beginning of that month.
What do you get in the bundle, though?
Sony today announced that the Gran Turismo franchise has shipped over 50 million units as of the end of April 2008.These sales figures have been achieved in the 10 years and four months since the original Gran Turismo was launched in December 1997.
The seventh installment in the series, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, features new modes including online head-to-head racing for up to 16 players and an in-game online channel known as Gran Turismo TV which delivers video and downloadable contents.
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue was launched in Japan in December 2007 followed by North America and Europe in spring 2008. Since then it has shipped over 2 million units worldwide.
SCEI and developer Polyphony Digital have promised to continue to “vigorously promote development of the Gran Turismo series, which can be expected to evolve even further through the PS3 platform and broadband network environment.”
“Initially, Gran Turismo was an ‘alternative’ racing game, kind of an outsider in the genre. And we made it thinking that it would be okay as long as it reached out to ‘the select few who would agree with us.’ So this figure, 50 million units - is simply astounding,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of Gran Turismo.
