Proto:Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec/NTSC Demo
This is a sub-page of Proto:Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.
This demo, officially known as the Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec Demo Disc (commonly referred to as the US Demo since it was the only demo released in North America), falls almost exactly between the Store Demo Volume 1 (compiled about three weeks before this demo) and the OPS2M demo (compiled about three weeks after this demo).
General Differences
- The menu layout is still the same as other demos, however now the options for cars are a Honda Raybrig NSX (returning from the Store Demo Vol. 1), a Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R, and a Honda S2000 (US model).
- On the copyright and start screen, the year 2000 is displayed instead of 2001.
- This demo is the only one where the in-race music is not an early version of Daiki Kasho's "Mirage", but instead is "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue, used later in the game's North American soundtrack (although this version is uncensored and lacks the intro).
- Trial Mountain is the only normally playable track this time around. Although more are featured in this demo's idle replays, the player is unable to drive on any other track unless cheat codes are used.

| Track | Video |
|---|---|
| Tokyo Route 246
Some more buildings have been added since the previous demo. |
|
| Apricot Hill Raceway
Aside from the fact that this track now has a map and semi-working AI, seems identical to the previous demo. |

Identical to previous demos. |
|

|
| Cote D' Azur
Seems identical to previous demos. |
|
| Deep Forest Raceway (No Road)
A strange Deep Forest where the road and some scenery are missing, which means you are driving on air basically. |
|
| Rome Circuit
Similar to the final version, except many advertising boards around the track have different sponsors, and there's a few missing that were added as early as the OPS2M demo. |

New track for this demo. A circular test track to test the game's handling model. At the start/finish line, there is a billboard overhead which displays the radius of the lane which it is above.. |

| Seattle Circuit
Similar to the previous demos, however a new stadium was added near the final section of the track. |
|

Some of the scenery was changed here compared to previous demos, which makes this track begin to resemble its final version, despite the fact that at this stage there was still no tarmac section. |
