GT4 lives up to the hype! (This can be a spoiler for some)

Does anybody know what the GT4 steering wheel looks like? I'm definitely going to buy me one of those when the game comes out.

It has five new tracks... and 50 cars. It's pretty meaty for a Demo.

The HSC (NSX concept car at Tokyo) is in it, plus the Spoon S2000. And some new JGTC cars.

I just completed the green section of the driving school and got this weird looking Toyota concept car. Looks like a cross between a platypus and a F1 car. The helmets of the two drivers are animated, and it only has one gear.

You know what, they should show you the cars with the top down. But race with the top up.

WOohooo! I got the 04 S2000 last night! It looks awesome!

Other differences from GT3:

Very low and tuned cars can ground on the rumble strips and sparks come flying!

Launches are very important - too many revs and you'll spin on the spot, too little and you'll bog.

Fuel - will be introduced in the main game - one of the tests inviolves driving a hybrid car. You have to complete a circuit whilst maintaining a decent mpg.

I have completed all the tests but there are still 4 cars to be unlocked!!!!

Question about the 04 S2000:

Are they including a US Spec and a J Spec version in the game. Like in GT3 many cars have their (J) brothers along with the US ones.

It'd be curious to see.

I think it's the Japanese spec because it redlines at 9200rpm and not the wimpy 8000!
