How it feels
A meticulous, almost reverential driving experience where mastering real-world cars through careful, deliberate racing feels like a rewarding grind toward automotive prestige.

About
More than two years in the making, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec features over 150 detailed cars -- each composed of more than 4,000 polygons -- 60 beginner, amateur and professional championship races, as well as ten endurance races and ten rally races. In addition to all-new special effects, such as sun glare, heat distortion and reflections, Gran Turismo 3 A-spec also offers up a soundtrack of more than 20 licensed tracks, and an even better replay mode with TV-style camera views. Two players can go head-to-head via split-screen and up to six can duke it out by linking multiple systems together via i.LINK. Released worldwide in 2001, Gran Turismo 3 a-Spec was designed by Polyphony Digital.
What players say
A graphical showpiece for the PS2 with heavy, tactile handling that makes every corner feel distinct. Revered as one of the greatest sim racers, though too serious for players who want arcade thrills.
