Gran Turismo is the first of the PlayStation's notable racing game series.

Unused Garage Graphics

These were probably meant to be used in vehicle pages showing cars you were already in.

These graphics would likely appear near vehicle name graphics in the Garage to show the type of vehicle if it were of a noteworthy variety.

Race Model probably indicated race-modified cars, Special likely indicated the special model vehicles buyable from certain dealerships, and Racing Special probably noted special prize cars, such as the Mitsubishi FTO LM Edition.

Unused Vehicles

Neither of these vehicles can be acquired in the US version's Simulation Mode.

Mazda Eunos Roadster RS '98 -- Used in Arcade Mode. Cannot be tuned, or race modified.

Chevrolet Corvette 427 Coupe '67 -- Similar to the Roadster RS. Cannot be tuned or race modified.

Regional Differences

A lot of them, too.

The game's entire soundtrack was swapped out in the international releases, with only a further few streamed music track differences between the European and US versions.

For example, the Nissan Dealership's music:

Japan	US/Europe

Also, the intro FMV saw some modification to it in both music tracks, and even Polyphony Digital's original name as "Polys Entertainment". The US version added additional sound effects.

Japan	US/Europe
