Despite being delayed for a over a year and a half, Gran Turismo 4 is considered by many to be one of the best games in the series, and one of the best racing games of all time. Featuring over 700 cars and 51 tracks, this one adds a lot more content than its predecessor, and was one of the 5 games on the PS2 to be capable of having 1080i support (one of the other ones being Tourist Trophy, also created by the same developers).
This game is also where the controversial Standard cars in the PS3 games originate. Yeah.

Well, here we go.

Unused Manufacturers
Daimler
Daimler (not to be confused with Daimler-Benz) has an unused logo asset. The brand is not featured in the game. It is unknown as to what car(s) this would have belonged to if the brand were to have been used.
GM Design
There is an unused logo asset for GM Design. This logo is never seen in the game, either as a make/manufacturer, or as a tuner. In Gran Turismo Concept, the Pontiac Solstice Coupe Concept '02 was branded as GM Design before being changed to Pontiac for this game, so the purpose as to what this would have been used for is unknown, or it could be an unused carryover from the aforementioned title.
An updated GM Design logo asset would later appear in Gran Turismo 6 for their planned Vision Gran Turismo car, but as of Gran Turismo Sport, no Vision GT car had been released under GM Design banner, although they were involved on the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo project, which is branded as a Chaparral in aforementioned games.
Rover
An unused logo asset for Rover still exists in the game files. This was perhaps meant to be used for the MINI COOPER 1.3i '98 (which can only be found in the Japanese/Chinese versions of the game) before it was placed into the Mini brand in the game. As the Rover Group manufactured the aforementioned vehicle themselves, this logo would have been used for only this car, but seeing as how BMW bought out the Mini brand name of the Rover Group to manufacture their own lineup of cars, this car was moved into the Mini brand, starting from this game onwards; this technically includes Gran Turismo 3 as well, which would contradict the previous statement, but the aforementioned car was the only car under the Mini brand name in that installment at the time, presuming licensing of the car was already taken care of before the game's release.
Vemac
A logo asset for Vemac can be found, alongside being registered as a valid make/tuner in the game's databases. There is leftover description text for the manufacturer to supplement its possible inclusion:
Vemac: The Vemac brand was established in 1998 in order to realise the long-held dream by R & D Sports of creating a road-going sports car. Up to this point their work had been concerned with mainly race cars and electric cars. The RD series was developed as a combination of a unique chassis mated with a Honda engine, and its release is highly anticipated. Before the release of the road car, the advanced development car will enter the All Japan Grand Touring Championship (JGTC). Although it will be constrained by race regulations, the vehicle has amazing potential and will undoubtedly show the way forward for the company.
It might have been possible that the Vemac RD320R would have featured in the game as its inclusion was a common topic of speculation around 2003. However, the logo asset appears to be a simple placeholder created with one of the game's default white sans-serif fonts, hinting that the inclusion of the manufacturer didn't make it very far during development.
Regional Differences
Starting out, we have the usual region changes as found in other games.
Intro Movie
As for changes in the intro, 3 different songs were used for each region, but they all start out using the orchestral version of 'Moon Over The Castle', before cutting into the main song halfway through. In the US, the intro uses 'Panama' by Van Halen. In Japan, it uses 'Moon Over The Castle' the entire way through. And as for Europe, the song used is 'Reason is Treason' by Kasabian. All 3 intros also use different clips and different ordering, most likely to better fit the songs that were used for each region.
Car Changes
One car, the Toyota ESSO ULTRAFLO Supra (JGTC) '01 is seen in the NTSC-J and PAL versions of the game, but is clearly absent in the NTSC U/C version. This is due to Esso not existing in America, as the Exxon name is used instead. Although Polyphony Digital could have created an Exxon version, they chose not to and the car never appeared again as other games use only Exxon versions of cars that have Esso/Exxo branding issues.
Additionally, the Mini Cooper 1.3i '98 only appears in the Japanese and early Asian releases for some reason.
Another regional change that is to be expected are the different names for some of the cars used. An obvious one is how the Opel Speedster in the American version is also known as the Vauxhall VX220 elsewhere; however the European/PAL version of the game features the car under both names. Another name change is the JDM Toyota Vitz, which is known as the Toyota Yaris in the PAL version.
The Korean version adds four exclusive cars:
- Lexus IS 200 GT-1 '04
- Hyundai Tiburon Turbulence '99
- Hyundai Tuscani CCS '03
- Hyundai Click Type-R '04
All of the Korea-only cars would make their worldwide debut in the PSP game, except for the Click Type-R, which have to wait until Gran Turismo 6. The Click is priced at Cr. 10,000, meaning if the car is purchased as the player's first car, the player is left with literally no money, a rare situation.
Like in previous games, all regional variations of the cars, including the Mini, but not the Korea-exclusive cars, are included in all copies of the game for ease of localization. However, the body for the Esso version of Peugeot 905 Race Car '92 and Vauxhall Astra Super Touring Car '00 are missing or not yet coded in the US version of the game.
License Test Changes
The Japanese version of the game had player drive the Pescarolo Sport Pescarolo-Courage - Judd GV5 Race Car '04 in License Test S-14 and Mercedes-Benz Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89 in License Test S-16, each a one-lap trial around Opera Paris and Nürburgring Nordschleife respectively. Outside Japan, the use of Le Mans racers in such tight courses were deemed overkill, so both cars were replaced by Clio Renault Sport V6 Phase 2 '03 and Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car '92, respectively. The required times were also adjusted accordingly.
Test | Japan | International |
---|---|---|
S-14 | Pescarolo Sport Pescarolo-Courage - Judd GV5 Race Car '04 | Clio Renault Sport V6 Phase 2 '03 |
1:18.500 1:20.855 1:28.000 |
1:36.620 1:38.500 1:44.230 |
|
S-16 | Mercedes-Benz Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89 | Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5 - 16 Evolution II Touring Car '92 |
5:47.510 6:09.919 6:43.420 |
7:07.700 7:30.000 7:58.300 |
In a total coincidence, the Japanese version of S-16 license test would resurface in Gran Turismo Sport as part of Lewis Hamilton Time Trial Challenges DLC, as Nürburgring Nordscheliefe is one of the featured tracks and players drive the Sauber C9 in it.
Drivable Photomode Tracks
As it turns out, you can drive on some of the places used in Photo Mode by cheat methods. However, you can only go so far, as it's very limited on what you can actually drive on.
Beacon Hills - Can only drive on some of the roads before hitting the invisible walls here.
Grand Canyon - By the size of the map here, it really shows how far you can go, which isn't much. You can drive on and off the cliffside though, so that's cool.
Times Square - You can actually go down most of the main strip here. And a bit unsurprisingly, the map is actually placed to the right of the New York course, as its logo is shown before you start and the map is displayed while driving.
Brooklyn - Like the Grand Canyon map, it's very short and you can only drive on the dock you're on, as there are barriers surrounding it.
Tsumago - Short and cramped is the best way to describe this one, and you can only drive on some of the village's 'roads', not all.
