Gran Turismo 5 Exclusive: Drive the Corvette C7 Test Prototype

[Commander Fury]

For weeks now, members of <a href="http://www.gtplanet.net/">GTplanet</a> and PlayStation.Blog have been speculating about the mysterious appearance of a camouflaged Corvette C7 appearing in <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/gran-turismo-5-ps3.html?CMP=soc_us__ac_sm_05_21_12">Gran Turismo 5</a>'s screen saver.

 

Well, the rumors are true – officially announced today at the LA Auto Show, <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/">Chevrolet</a> and <a href="http://www.polyphony.co.jp/english/">Polyphony Digital</a> have been working very closely for months in developing an exclusive first-hand driving experience by offering a camouflaged Corvette C7 Test Prototype in Gran Turismo 5. The DLC is now available for free through PlayStation Store.

 

With spy photos valued at an estimated $100,000, Chevrolet has gone to extreme measures to disguise the test car. In fact, a designated Corvette design team was tasked with developing custom camouflage to conceal the new design elements. The concealed test prototype continues to undergo extensive performance and durability testing in preparation for final production. Millions of hours will be accumulated through thousands of rigorous performance trials before the car is released later in 2013.
