A Gran Turismo movie was also cofirmed to be in production.<\/p>\n<p>GT6 will feature a number of concept cars never before seen, let alone in manufacture. Also featured are new tracks, new cars, a revised user interface, and new game engine. There will also be a focus on DLC expansions, connectivity with devices such as smart phones and tablets, and increased social and community functions.<\/p>\n<p>All of the cars and tracks from Gran Turismo 5 will be retained in GT6. New additions to the line-up brings the total car list to 1,200 at launch, with new cars set to be continually added online. Several thousand aerodynamic parts and custom wheels will be available for almost all cars, and players can personalize their own custom cars in game to the &#8220;greatest ever level possible&#8221;, says Sony.<\/p>\n<p>The Silverstone Circuit has been confirmed as one of seven new locations in GT6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available, 19 of them new. There will also be regular additions of new tracks set to be made available online. The improved course maker function will provide scenery spanning several tens of square kilometres including the backdrop of Andaluc\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
