Gran Turismo has always been at the front of the pack in racing-game realism, and the newest entry in the series, Gran Turismo Sport, looks to stay on pace. Just check out this incredibly realistic night-racing replay footage. It shows an Audi R8 racer and various competitors dicing at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and we’re pretty astonished watching it.
A couple of details stick out, especially the headlights. Check out the way the R8’s interior is illuminated after it passes a BMW M6 just over a minute into the clip. In the driver’s-eye view, the BMW’s yellow headlights temporarily light up the Audi’s cabin from complete darkness with incredible realism. Also note the BMW’s reflection in the Audi’s rearview mirror. Attention was paid to every detail. This clip also demonstrates that Gran Turismo finally gets engine sounds right with Sport. The Audi’s engine note actually sounds like that of a real V-10, and the gear whine and shifting sounds of its sequential gearbox are totally spot on.
