GTPlanet has a couple of off-screen videos and screens of Gran Turismo 5 being played at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The latest update to the demo build, which was at GamesCom in Cologne in August and at Tokyo Game Show in September, is the inclusion of the Toyota FT-86: announced earlier this week.

And if you’re attending the show, you can gain a free 100 car pack for Gran Turismo on the PSP. Good deal.

GT5 is out in March 2010 in Japan.

SCEE has said in a statement to GI that sales of the PSPgo have performed in line with their “expectations”, with sales of up 100% for PSP hardware since the Go launched on Thursday.

“PSPgo has performed in line with our expectations, driving 100 per cent incremental volume for the category and has benefited the broad PSP portfolio with PSP-3000 also enjoying a big lift.

“PSP software sales also having been a standout with both new releases GT PSP and FIFA 10 performing well,” said SCEE in a statement.

However, Chart-Track are refusing to confirm if that is indeed correct as they have said they will not reveal any information on sales for the Go.

Eurogamer.pt‘s put live several new gameplay shots of GT PSP, as well as renders of cars in the game.

Va-va voom, as Thierry Henry once said.

Go get them through the link. It’s out on October 1st to coincide with the PSPgo launch.

Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi has said that players of Grand Turismo PSP will be able to transfer cars from the handheld game to GT5.

Cool.

Posted after the break, the video featuring Yamauchi details the Ad-Hoc multiplayer modes (Standard, Party, and Shuffle).

Apparently, Party mode balances the playing field by “sending more skilled players farther behind”.

Game’s out October 1 alongside PSPgo.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Cars. On a PSP. Made by Polyphony Digital. Images of.

They’re on Destructoid. GT PSP ships on October 1 alongside PSP Go.

More specifically, between October 1 and October 10. All you have to do is register your PSP Go and — bam — free download of Gran Turismo PSP.

This isn’t just some measly demo, either. It’s the whole shebang, baby.

The announcement was made during Sony’s GamesCom press event.

More on the liveblog.

Here’s a little Monday afternoon puzzler for you: try to tell the difference between these real-life shots and bits of GT PSP art of the Corvette ZR1.

GTPlanet‘s posted a comparison between the two, using press kit images from both GT PSP and the car itself.

We’re stumped.

Thanks, Kotaku.

Sony just announced a pre-order incentive to Gran Turismo PSP in the form of one of the game’s top cars in an exclusive colour.

Hit the link for the full list and pics. The game’s out October 1.

CVG’s posted up 22 new screens of Gran Turismo PSP, which mostly consist of the Corvette ZR1, the car on the game’s boxart.

Lets be honest: they look brillant.

Go get the shots through the link.

Game’s out on October 1.

Polyphony’s released a trailer of in-game Gran Turismo PSP footage – watch it after the break.

If you’re after very good looking cars driving around on a little screen, you’re in luck. It’s probably not going to get any better than this for a good while.

The game’s a PSP Go launch title on October 1.

Polyphony Digital’s US Producers, Chris Hinojosa Miranda and Taku Imasaki, answered some questions submitted by readers regarding Gran Turismo PSP over on the US PS Blog.

While nothing earth-shattering was revealed, they did see fit to answer a few such as whether any DLC would be released for the game, if cars could be damaged, etc.

As far as DLC is concerned, the answer is no. Same with damage.

“We’re planning on having 800+ cars right out of the box, which is pretty much a lifetime’s worth of racing (I’m still unlocking cars from GT4),” stated Polyphony. “With that sort of breadth and reach of options, having DLC would be like tossing water into the ocean.

“Damage? No. 800+ cars, 35 tracks, on-the-go awesomeness, and a lifetime’s worth of racing? Yes.”

There’s a few others through the link there, but like we said, nothing too earth-shattering and stuff you probably already know about.

IGN’s posted up a ton of new shots of the PSP version of Gran Turismo. They’re very pretty.

The game’s out as a PSP Go push later this year.

Either whoever’s playing it isn’t very good, or or Gran Turismo PSP will take some mastering before you get your grinds down as you can see after the break.

Visually it looks impressive but the roar of the engine can’t be heard over the E3 show floor rabble.

Gran Turismo PSP releases October 1st.
