Gran Turismo 6/Revisional Differences
This is a sub-page of Gran Turismo 6.
It could be argued that when Gran Turismo 6 was finally released after three years of development, the game was far from a complete product. While most of the work on the new game was completed by the time of its release date, all of the game's advertised features were added in later on post-release, per the usual content updates that began with the game that perhaps spurred the concept in the first place. The Course Maker feature, which was advertised and printed on the back of the game's case, was added in about two years later after release...
...and with every updated version of the game came changes. With the changes either being big or small, this page aims to list them all.
Contents
Intro FMV
The most immediately noticeable change is the game's intro FMV.
There is what appears to be an unfinalized placeholder version of the intro FMV on the base version of the game (Version 1.00, or the on-disc version). The FMV is mostly complete in regards to the updated version. It uses scenes that mostly consist of those found in the game's trailers that were released over time up until the final game's release. Indications of it being the unfinished version include the scene that features the Lamborghini Countaches, which plays the sound of a Formula One exhaust, which is unfitting for the cars.
A new, finalized intro FMV was added in Version 1.01 of the game, also known as the Day One Update. The FMV reuses most of the scenes found on the previous version, but features an entirely new beginning-half segment, which has clips of the "Ayrton's Wish" mini film, clips of several Vision Gran Turismo cars in their concept and development stages, a scene that depicts renders of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Gran Turismo Concept '13, which then transitions to a scene featuring the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C7) '14, and finally leads up to a scene which features a wheel of the Mercedes-Bens AMG Vision Gran Turismo spinning...
...which then leads up to the second half of the FMV, which, as aforementioned, reuses much of the footage above, but features new content that was added in Version 1.01 and content that would also be added in later versions, such as a brief scene of the Gran Turismo Red Bull X2014 Fan Car and another brief scene depicting the confirmed inclusion of the DeltaWing cars, which were originally scheduled to be included in the game, but were then later set to not be included due to legal and licensing issues, only to be added back into the game just in time for launch in Version 1.01. (The scene used in Version 1.01 replaced the 2012 Nissan-sponsored model with 2013 model that accompanied the re-added car). The scene of the Lamborghini Countaches also had the sounds changed to those more suited for the cars. The FMV ends with a scene depicting a tribute to Ayrton Senna and his Lotus 97T.
The entire second half of the FMV is also in 60 frames-per-second, as compared to the original FMV that was entirely in 30 frames-per-second.
| Version 1.00 | Version 1.01+ |
|---|---|
Note that the YouTube video above of Version 1.01+'s intro FMV was not uploaded in 60 frames-per-second, but is as such in the game.
Car Price Adjustments
In the base version (Version 1.00) of the game, the prices of cars were similar to those found in Gran Turismo 5; said game based its car prices around the Used Car Dealership and the rare appearance of valuable and sought-after cars. Since the Used Car Dealership is absent from this game, and every car is available to purchase immediately whenever the player accumulates enough Credits, the prices for some cars was rebalanced depending on how useful and practical they were towards the progression of gameplay. Of course, this adjustment of prices did not affect all cars, such as the vintage classic cars that are new to the game.
Another reason for the price adjustments is due to the inclusion of micro-transactions in the game. Players often compare the in-game prices to required amounts of micro-transactions in order to acquire enough Credits to purchase cars in this manner. With most of the original prices being quite expensive, they had to be adjusted to ensure that players were getting a fair amount of value for purchased micro-transactions.
Version 1.01
The first and primary adjustment of car prices occurred in Version 1.01, also known as the Day One Update for the game. Below is a table of all of the cars that had their prices adjusted in this version, as well as their original prices on the base version of the game. Outstanding differences (at least 70%) are listed in bold:

Notes
There are some things of note about the list:
- The Audi R8 LMS cars' prices were significantly reduced, probably to match the prices up with the other GT3 class cars.
- The prices of both Chaparral cars were also significantly reduced, becoming more easily affordable instead of being two of the most-expensive cars in the game.
- Each of the Gran Turismo racing karts' prices were adjusted based on their performance. While the price of the Junior racing kart did not change, the other karts' prices reflect their increase in class and performance from the Junior kart, with the Shifter kart doubling in price.
- All of the Red Bull X cars had their prices slashed significantly, with the reason probably being that the cars, while possessing some of the highest performance in the game, are not practical for Career Mode progression and can't be used much, if at all, outside of Arcade Mode, Free Runs, and online game modes.
- The Toyota ALTEZZA Touring Car had a significant increase in price due to the original price being quite low for the car's performance and type.
Version 1.02
A second adjustment of car prices occurred in Version 1.02. Most of these adjustments are increases, probably due to a bug that players exploited to gain vast amounts of Credits by selling cars on the base version present in their Garages that were missing due to being added in Version 1.01 of the game. The bug was made no longer possible in this version.
| Car Model | Original Price (V1.00) | Former Price (V1.01) | Current Price (V1.02+) | Difference from V1.01 (%) | Difference from V1.00 (%) |

Notes
- Interestingly, and also amusingly, almost all of the prices in this version decreased from the base version by 70%.
- The Audi R8 LMS cars now have quite a price hike. It is unknown as to why, as the current prices now are quite high compared to the rest of the GT3 class cars.
- The two Nissan cars listed had their prices directly swapped. In the previous two versions, the Nissan SILVIA spec-R AERO (S15) ‘99 had a lower price for a higher performance car, while the Nissan SILVIA spec-S AERO (S15) ‘99 was more expensive for a lower performance car. The prices were swapped to reflect the cars' performance in this version, but the values seemed to have slipped by the developers when Version 1.01 was released. (This price swap was originally a Gran Turismo 4 carryover.)
Mitsubishi MINICA DANGAN ZZ '89
In Version 1.04 of the game, the Mitsubishi MINICA DANGAN ZZ '89 received updated textures; noticeable differences include more detail on the headlights and a larger emblem on the front of the car. This change was not officially documented by the developers themselves, but is present inside the update file. The car's thumbnail was also updated to reflect these changes.

Ayrton Senna Brand Logo
Version 1.07 of the game added the Ayrton Senna Tribute to the home screen, but this icon just led to the playback of a teaser video. Version 1.08 finally added all of the content that belonged to the tribute in the game. However, present on Version 1.07 of the game is an earlier version of the brand logo before it was replaced in Version 1.08. This logo would have been used in the Dealerships.

Goodwood Hillclimb Course
In Version 1.09, the Goodwood Hillclimb course had an updated version to reflect the then-current rendition of the 2014 "Goodwood Festival of Speed" monument. This happened again in Version 1.20 with the addition of another updated version to reflect the then-current rendition of the 2015 monument. While the 2014 and 2015 versions are still selectable and playable in the current version of the game, the original version was made hidden in Version 1.09 with the addition of the 2014 version, and is no longer playable unless modifications or hacking is used. The course can still be viewed by playing back a replay file that was made prior to Version 1.09 on the course.
Toyota TS030 Hybrid '12
Version 1.09 introduced the addition of a new car, the Toyota TS030 Hybrid ‘12. However, subsequentially on the next released version of the game, Version 1.10, the car had its textures changed. All references to the FIA World Endurance Championship were censored in the form of barcodes, possibly to avoid any legal issues of improper usage of the FIA WEC name.

Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo
Added in and later unlocked via a hotfix in Version 1.15, the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo was introduced into the game. In Version 1.20, the car's model was changed to reflect the updated model shown at the 2015 "Goodwood Festival of Speed", as the car's updated model was also displayed on the festival's monument.
In Version 1.16, the car became paintable from GT Auto, a change that was also applied to the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo.

Honda S2000 LM Race Car
Version 1.18 quietly fixed an inconsistency in the racing numbers of the Honda S2000 LM Race Car, in which the hood bears the number #33 while the car's door and rear uses the number #30. This inconsistency was not there when the car originally debuted in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, but was instead introduced in Gran Turismo 4, when some of the car's decals (such as Castrol logos) were updated in that game.
