Ok, the speculation has to end. Numerous confused posts on the matter of whether Gran Turismo 5′s 800+ standard cards will or will not have a cockpit camera view. An update to the official Gran Turismo website has put those questions to bed.
The vehicles in Gran Turismo 5 come in two classes – premium and standard. The premium cars, all 200+ of them, are insanely detailed PS4 quality vehicles. The standard cars are HD recreations from previous GT games – and as we revealed, some of them haven’t changed too much from GT4.
There was still hope that they might sport a interior cockpit camera view. Sadly, the answer is no, as we had previously reported. Kotaku thought there would be. Many E3 attendees thought there would be. A random Australian games blog even reported they were told by Sony that there would be (the comment was likely pulled from the GTPlanet forums.)
So Sony Computer Entertainment America has made an update to the official Gran Turismo website to put all this speculation to rest. The relevant comment reads as follows:
“Standard cars do not support vehicle interior camera views.”
This very sentence has only recently been added – I scoured over that GT5 article only days ago. Standard cars DO NOT support interior camera views in Gran Turismo 5. Could you think of the insane amount of time it would take to build high-quality interior views for over 1000 cars? They get away with it in GT PSP by adding a standard black interior view – something that just won’t work in HD with the hyper-realistic graphics of GT5.
And if you’re holding out hope for interior views for GT5′s standard cars, please stop. Maybe, just maybe, it’s a ruse for Polyphony to surprise us with them later on. But really, nah.
I’m nothing buying this game anymore. If Skyline R33 doesn’t have cockpit than F YOU!
@30NIGHTCRAWLER30: I read somewhere an incomplete list of Premium Cars, but I saw the R33 in it. So yeah, it has a cockpit.
@ALL:
LOL. You all make me laugh at how childish you sound xD
Hm, Dreamer_Lion has a point. It’s a game, after all.
But I will still buy this masterpiece.
LOL at people not buying what is going to be the greatest racing experience on a console to date due to lack of interior view in some cars.

Seen the inside of pletny of R33 IRL, it’s nothing to write home about
Seeing a “so far” list of premium cars, im really disappointed. I mean, a suzuki cappucino? Seriously? For “only” 200+ cars to have in-car views, I would have been more foregiving if all 200+ cars where exotic or really cool car. That plus almost every version of skyline and gt-r is premium, so thats is like 10 premium cars just there.
I will still be getting the game. But none the less this is pretty annoying, but notice how no one knew that not ALL cars would have interior views right up to a few months before release. They have all these pre-orders and kept it very hush hush to make more money KNOWING people think that all cars will have interior view after giving us GT5P. As for the Suzuki cappuccino. Does that need an interior view? 5 years and all we get is some updated graphics, tracks and physics… They carried nearly all cars across from previous games, added a slight more detail and call it a day. 5 years for that… Really? Hopeully they have sorted out the sound issues. Never heard such bad car sounds for a long time. Impreza that sounds like a honda civic, a skyline that sounds like a honda civic, they all sound the same with just a slight different tone.
As long as they have the hood view, It’ll be all good.
Hey guys I was thinking about this…I love the interior views like all of you guys do, and i love buying a new car in the game( referring to prologue) and sitting in it for first time and looking around at details. It DOES suck that there wont be any interior views for beautiful muscle cars or tuners or exotic and whatever, BUT, we gotta concentrate on other things. I would like for once that when i buy a new exhaust system, that car REALLY sounds different, and maybe they fixed that..
all in all, we all have our preferences, but were not all crazy game programmers like PD…so, i guess we gotta accomodate to them, and give em credit for the work… i personally love GT and cant wait for 5 to b out
First I heard of this. It does kind of suck that they don’t have interior views. I mean couldn’t they have just gave us less cars. Very few, if any will unlock all cars in the game. Only giving us 200 or so cars that have a cockpit view is pretty disappointing in my book. Whoever was in charge of making the decisions for this game needs to open their eyes and ears.
gt1 had 150 cars
gt3 had 170+ cars
gt5 has 200+ premium cars
every 1st gt game has less cars than the last
the PD team would have needed divine assistance or inhumanly powers to make 1000+ cars detailed to the last bit
just play the game and enjoy it for the gameplay not for the graphics
Wow, and i thought this was the ultimate simulation game…..BOOO
Okay kids, now that the game is Out, what do you actualy think about it. Is *Cocks*-pitt view SOOOOO important, well for me actualy no, put it on the Hood view, buy your Self the G27 and there you go with your fucking Cockpit view
I bought this today for £43, all the licence tests use these “premium” cars so far, but when I go to use one of my own cars there’s no interior view? I don’t care how much time it takes to make all these detailed interiors, I waited 5 years and spent £43 on this? Take it back.. I don’t want their shortcuts.
30NIGHTCRAWLER30 is right, maybe Mr. Kazunori is trying to ingore our promises, i mean he is focusing on F@#^*&$ ideas. For me i’ll stick to Forza 4.
Yea.. I was playing the game and noticed my 240 and 04 wrx sti didn’t have a cockpit view.. I sold the car and took my loss’s. Its an amazing game. Everyones got to admit it but that really is a bummer… the cockpit view honestly makes it more fun for me.. hopfully they come out with an update to get all 1200 cars covered. I’ve give them another 5 bucks for that!
Not anymore! 10-11-11, just wait till then! ( :
