23 March-PS3 and GT HD at Geneva Motor Show If you don't have the money for the car, get the PS3 and the game, it's practically the same	By Filip Truta, Games Editor 6th of March 2007, 12:01 GMT Adjust text size:


This year's Geneva Motor Show will give fans Sony's new and highly anticipated PlayStation 3, equipped with Gran Turismo HD Concept, which will be there exclusively, available to try. Sales of the new, eagerly-awaited games console begin on 23 March across Europe, as everyone knows, and Nissan's stand at the Geneva Motor Show will be one of the few places where the public can try it out before the console hits the shops. So the point of mixing the Nissan with the PS3 launch is to allow the gamers to being among the first to see a new model that Nissan will unveil for the first time in the world, on the morning of 6 March. No details will be released before that time. Nissan has featured a lot of its models in all of the Gran Turismo games, allowing on-screen racers of all ages and abilities to compete in dozens of Nissan models from the past, present and even the future, on some of the most challenging circuits (real and fictive). In fact, Nissan's vivid yellow 35th Anniversary 350Z was practically the image of Gran Turismo 4 launched two years ago. The updated 350Z will also be on display at the Geneva Motor Show, showing off a new generation VQ engine-dubbed VQ 35 HR-power been increased to 313PS (230kW) at 6800rpm and torque is now 358Nm at 4800rpm, while the maximum engine speed is now 500rpm higher at 7500rpm. Nearly 80% of the model's major engine parts are new, resulting in improved acceleration and responsiveness-just to give the fanatics a little bite. All this being said, fans (both of GT and Nissan) should know that Gran Turismo HD will be downloadable from the PlayStation Store, as soon as it launches on 23 March and Nissan's updated 350Z will be there for them to try out, but only after serious money is earned in order to get it from the manufacturer. Don't forget to complete all the licenses, as you may get hooked on the car and you'll need them done to enter all the competitions.
