Gran Turismo Developers Share How Many Years It Takes to Create a Single Track
Building a single track for the Gran Turismo franchise can take years, while modeling a single car requires months of work, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi explained.
The racing franchise has seen only one full mainline release since 2017, which arrived with Gran Turismo 7 in 2022. In an interview with British automotive magazine Evo, Yamauchi detailed the production timelines behind the series’ assets.
