Gran Turismo Wants to Ruin Your Summer

It’s been a long three years of waiting, delays, and more waiting, but finally the next installment in the Gran Turismo series is (nearly) here.

Just in time to keep you glued to your flat screen this summer, Gran Turismo Sport has just been released in closed beta form to a select group of PlayStation 4 users, a sure sign that release is imminent after the game’s launch date was pushed from 2016 into 2017.

Invites to test the beta were only given to gamers in the United States as the Gran Turismo team aims to collect data and fine tune the game’s final development. Hard-core hopefuls were given the chance to sign up for the game’s beta, although that didn’t guarantee you would get it. PlayStation, however, is offering a subsequent signup for future updates, which indicates a second beta phase is likely.

The Gran Turismo team also took the opportunity to release several screen shots of gameplay, plus player profile details and a new trailer. Driver and Sportsmanship ratings will pull information from your driving characteristics in order to better match abilities for improved online racing.

Polyphony and Playstation have outdone themselves on the graphics side, just check out this in-game capture one of the beta players posted to YouTube:

There is no official release date yet, but one Finnish retailer claims the game will be here before May 2017. Regardless, expect Gran Turismo Sport to hit stores before the year’s over.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
