With the buzz behind Gran Turismo 5’s release in November 2010, the word at this year’s E3 conference says the game is one of the most polished GT games ever.

The all-new 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid coupe made its Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 Expo) debut. Evocative of many video games, the two-passenger CR-Z introduces a number of interactive features including a new three-mode drive system that allows the driver to select between Sport, Econ (Economy) and Normal driving models. The CR-Z will go on-sale later this summer.

Along with the CR-Z debut, Honda also announced that the sport hybrid coupe will appear in Gran Turismo 5 by Sony (Sony PS3 and PSP)

Cars within the game will be split into two groups, with the top-tier being 200 so-called “premium” models. These cars have been rendered in amazing detail (every bolt on every exhaust bracket is perfectly placed) and they feature fully detailed and working interiors with exteriors that will deform under impacts. Then there are the 800+ “standard” cars, models that have been featured in previous titles. These cars have been given a slight graphical touch-up to bring them up to GT5 spec, but they do not feature full interiors nor fully deformable exteriors – though they will get scratched up and slightly dented if you find yourself visiting the wall.

You can choose over 1,000 cars, a massive sum of classics and modern models, ranging from Honda’s new CR-Z to Formula One rockets. There were four fully new circuits, including the hotly anticipated Top Gear Test Track, along with re-done versions of the Nurburgring (complete with the latest graffiti) and a 2009-spec version of the full Le Mans track.
