Unicorns of Gran Turismo: PS1 Edition
129Thousands of cars have been seen in the Gran Turismo series, but even then only a handful survived the transition to PS2 and onward. I want to take a look at some more of the cars that were odd, obscure, or rare in reality. But this time, we’ll highlight cars that remained on the original PlayStation. Here are more unicorns of Gran Turismo, covering the first two games in the series.
