A new batch of new cars, features and Le Mans has been added to PlayStation exclusive racing game Gran Turismo Sport.
Keeping up the tradition of regularly updating and expanding this ambitious new entry into the long running and much loved Gran Turismo franchise, the May GT Sport update is most certainly not light on either content or improvements - with much effort obviously having been expended on bringing some very welcome improvements to what is rapidly becoming a very complete feeling console racing title.
Firstly, what cars are included in the new update? Well we've got content from the 1960's thanks to the road going FIAT 500 and on the more exotic scale the Lamborghini Miura P400. Going into a more performance orientated theme we have the classic Jaguar XJR-9 of late 80's Le Mans fame, all the way up to a recent couple of cars from the Renault marque. The full list can be seen below:
