A piano-led orchestral piece accompanies a selection of scenes that together tell the story of car design, prototyping and manufacturing.

That makes way for a montage of sleek, roaring motors and throbbing kickdrums to mark the PlayStation 3 game's December 6 worldwide debut.

It arrives 3 years after 'Gran Turismo 5,' a relatively short production cycle considering its studio's typical ambitious scope.

The game is now considered to have laid the foundation for a 'Gran Turismo 7' in late 2014 or early 2015 on the far more powerful PlayStation 4.
