It is only to be expected, of course, that a movie like Gran Turismo, so fully based in the world of cars and racing, should feature a few truly great vehicles over the course of its runtime. The film, based on the story of Jann Mardenborough, tells about a Gran Turismo gaming enthusiast who wins a competition to become a real racing driver.
Based on a true story, it’s no surprise to see Jann rising through the ranks, getting to drive and see many amazing cars around him. Director Neill Blomkamp, and others who worked on the film, wanted a variety of amazing dream cars to appear. As such, the film features some of the best cars from the Gran Turismo games, trying to keep the film as similar as possible to the beloved franchise.
7 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-1.6 Evolution 1
One of the older models showcased in the Gran Turismo film, this Mercedes has a classic look but still packs a speedy punch today. One of the go-to racing models of the late 80s and early 90s, the 190E is one of the cars that appears during the end credits. These scenes showcase behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Gran Turismo games, which have plenty of secrets still being uncovered.
The Evolution 1 range is a little rarer now than it used to be. Originally unveiled in 1989, this classic model is worth around $295,000 nowadays. It is considered already to be a fairly historical figure. Only 502 were made, and the number that are still in good condition is probably far lower than that.
6 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992)
One of the best cars to appear in the film is akin to some of the similar Porsche options that actually appear in the Gran Turismo games, which just keep getting more realistic. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is one of the most beautifully-designed racing cars to appear throughout the film. Without a doubt, this was sure to be included in the movie adaption.
This Porsche model is worth between $230,000 and $535,000. It's both beautiful and costly, as well as fast, as shown by its scenes in the Gran Turismo movie. This unit is special, as just over 4,000 units were ever made.
5 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 (2019)
This model of the Aston Martin is one of the best cars in the Gran Turismo film, but is easily missed. There are a number of significant racing scenes in the film, which pump up the adrenaline, turn up the tension, and show off some amazing cars. Most of these cars will be familiar to gamers as well, given their appearances in the Gran Turismo gaming franchise.
This Aston Martin model would cost car enthusiasts about $250,000 if they wanted one of their own. They’d also be able to count themselves among an elite club, because there were only 124 of this model ever made.
4 Chevrolet Camaro GT4
The Chevrolet Camaro is another of the cars seen during racing scenes in the film that Jann must take on. Of the many, there are few that look like a traditionally modern racing car as this model. It is unsurprising to hear that this particular model has been a popular racing car, although widespread sale will end after 2023.
The GT4 is a beautiful racing model worth about $260,000, and it was first made available to the public for sale in 2017. While this is coming to an end, there is no denying that the GT4 has been a special car for a long time.
3 Koenigsegg Gemera
One of the most fascinating motor additions to the Gran Turismo movie was the Koenigsegg Gemera, a model that hasn’t actually been released yet. Featuring 1700 horsepower, this incredible model is a blend of the best parts of previous famous models. Its sleek design looks almost futuristic in style.
Koenigsegg unveiled the model in 2020, but it has not yet been released, having a production version unveiled in July 2023. This sneak peek of an incredible new car was a real treat for car enthusiasts as they watched the Gran Turismo movie.
2 Lamborghini Huracan STO
Everybody loves Lamborghini, and this sleek and beautiful racing model is one of their very best. It is shown mostly in the end credits sequence, where Neill Blomkamp included footage showcasing how cars are photographed to add them to Gran Turismo games.
This road-legal model racing car is designed for the sole purpose of speed on the track. It is worth between $220,000 and $275,000. This model of the Lamborghini racing range was extremely limited, with only around 700 units being made.
1 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992)
The most updated love affair for current fans of the Porsche is the new face of the Rennsport series, and this car was given pride of place in the Gran Turismo movie. Between that scene at the Nurburgring and the model being showcased at a late 2022 Gran Turismo e-sports event, it could mean this will be seen in the games soon.
With its incredible design and fresh look, this edition of the Porsche will start for sale at around $225,000. It's set to become one of the rarest editions of the Porsche line ever to be released to the public, just as Gran Turismo has become one of the most profitable racing game franchises of all time.
