Gran Turismo 6 to Include KW Suspension Testing System

Polyphony Digital’s partnership with KW Suspension for Gran Turismo 6 could be more of a collaborative effort than many may have initially realized.

jpegAccording to an article posted at NZGamer.com, a behind the scenes tour was given of Polyphony Digital’s office during last week’s Tokyo Game Show.

After a discussion with Michael Grassi, Head of Motorsport Sales and Technical Support at KW Automotive GmbH, it was revealed that players will be able to fine tune suspension systems using KW’s “7-post” test environment which is as detailed:

The 7-post mode is reserved for the so-called track replay mode. First of all, data has to be collected at the race track which is then evaluated at the test stand. The data record can only be used for identical car constructions.

At the chassis, three solid attachment points have to be created for the three additional hydraulic cylinders which supply lateral inclination, downthrust and other car body movements during the test run.

As you can gather, this level of authenticity will allow players to continually test, tweak, and re-test the cars suspension systems, getting it just right before heading out to the track.

MOUNT PANAMERA, ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE TRACKS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!! AHHH IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! AND LISTEN TO THOSE CARS!!! GDAMN!

I feel like I have alone put 500 views on this movie/trailer/teaser video. it just looks so pure.. this is what gran turismo is all about. I really hope the cars really sound like that in the game though. if they do this is for sure GOTY

edit: For every game that I like there is always that ONE trailer that I just watch & watch & watch & watch.

BATHURST GAMEPLAY1!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Those engine sounds are beautiful and so is the whole trailer. I didn't really have GT6 on my radar, since it didn't seem to have much improvements over GT5, but I lean more and more towards buying it.

I will always buy every GT out no matter what, even if it's not much improvement (which usually there is. PD isn't a company that screws over it's fans.. I mean hell, GT5 is STILL being supported by them even though game is ~3 years old).

and yeah that whole trailer was a solid 10/10 for me. I wasn't much excited or have high standards for GT6 since I thought it would be like GT5.5, but man I think I'm wrong... this game looks EPIC!
and if those engine sounds are real then.....

If those engine sounds are the real thing then I will buy this one for sure as well That was pretty much the only real complaint I had with GT5.

I had a few complaints about GT5.. it was a fantastic game don't get me wrong, but
1) engine sounds
2) lack of CREATING races (so if you want to race with random AI instead of a pre-made race)
3) standard cars

aside from that though that game was perfect. and I think GT6 has addressed all three of those issues

Wait, does that mean that all of the cars in GT6 will be premium cars with cockpit view etc.?

IF I understand corrrectly then yessir!

They said "there won't be standard and premium cars anymore" so every car will be the same
