2009 Gran Turismo Awards choose 1970 Ford Mustang 'Trans-Cammer' for inclusion in GT5

by Ben Gilbert on Nov 9th 2009 8:30PM

The 1970 Ford Mustang "Trans-Cammer" you see above will soon be getting the digital treatment in Gran Turismo 5 after taking home this year's Gran Turismo Award honor at SEMA. For the seventh year in a row, a handful of judges (including Gran Turismo 5 lead Kazunori Yamauchi) chose a car from the auto event for inclusion in an upcoming Gran Turismo title.

Yamauchi said of the event, "We have been very pleased with the high quality of vehicles vying for the award the past seven years, and look forward to having this 1970 Ford Mustang 'Trans-Cammer' join our list of distinguished past winners as part of the Gran Turismo franchise." The 1970 Ford Mustang "Trans-Cammer" by Philip Koenen follows Marcel Horn's HPA Audi TT in 2007 and Brian Filoteo's high-performance Infiniti G37 in 2008, both seen below in the gallery.

That looks badass.

Forza who?

haha Forza Who. yea i agree... i can't believe some people are saying Forza may be better then GT5 and giving it a run for it's own Money.

I didn't care for Forza at all. i can see the reviews now the game will score 8.5 to 9's most times and the users will ay NOOO THESE SCORES are HORRIBLE .. but i would believe them ... i have a feeling Gamespot ETC will come out saying Great game but will reccommend Forza over words. i'm not being a fanboy but i just didn't care for Forza.

Gran Turismo FTW !

Generally if you're going to claim to "not be a fanboy" you probably shouldn't end your post with a "(what you are claiming to not be a fanboy of) FTW"

Forza isn't a sim racer. GT5 will be. Can't fucking wait!

It IS badass. That's one sexy car!

so how many more cars are going to win this award before the game actually comes out? cause i remember the tts winning last year, and now this??? crikey i'm tired of waiting for this!!!

@ Xcrucio

i say Gran Turismo FTW cause it's my Favorite Racing Game Since the Very Beginning for the PS1.

OMG! If i miss out of this game i swear i will crawl on my knees from NYC to Japan. That car is beautiful. =')

Gran Turismo has its own awards?
Anyways can't wait for this game, I just hope its not release that close to GoW 3

You finally got banned? Damn it's about time.

yeah yeah w/e

bring back any cheese?

no, its a scary world out there

You better have flushed the god damn toilet.

DAMN!!!!! that stang is badazz. reminds me of Mad Max's Intercepter.

have you heard there is going to be a Mad Max 4 and that it's not going to star mel gibson...

...it better not star Shia LaBeouf

I prefer Eleanor myself...but I guess that car isn't too bad.

why was this downvoted? This car is kick-ass and everything, but nothing beats Ol' Rigby.

Go Baby Go

That car is freaking gorgeous. I hope they include some older Trans-Ams.

Noob question: I own a PS3 and 360. I own the 360 Racing Wheel and I want to get a wheel for my PS3 for when GT5 comes out. What recommendations do you guys have for me on what to buy? I'm looking for top of the line here.

That's not a noobish question. A racing wheel is a pretty serious investment.

There may be an Official GT5 wheel that Yamuchi endorses, but just look at reviews of wheels on Amazon. Logitech is generally a good choice.

I would say get a Logitech G25/G27 or a Logitech Driving Force GT

Thanks guys.

@Durden

Guys he said top of the line. I have a logitech racing wheel and they are good but not top of the line.

If top of the line is what you want go to Fanatec and get one of the official Porsche wheels ... or any Fanatec wheel for that matter.

Forza who?

You posted this twice? Was this an accident? Be honest now.

Well, honestly, I meant to reply to the first post....but my post became just that, a standard post. There is no way to delete a post once posted. So, I went ahead with my original idea, to reply to the first post, figuring my original post would get buried anyways.

Is that a good enough explanation?

Also, when you say Forza who I think they will respond with - the game that has come out with 3 versions since the last full GT, that's who.

You mean Infiniti?!?!?

I think he means Nissan.

No, I think he means Datsun...

Good call! Fixed. Also, f you to Nissan for naming its luxury brand "Infiniti" with a stupid i at the end instead of a y (like, ya know, the dictionary). Furthermore, why even bother with an Infiniti G37 when the Nissan Skyline exists? I JUST DON'T KNOW.

Wow thats a good screen shot!!!!

Kaz is the MAN, I'll love to drive this car..... in the game

1970 - the year development began on Gran Turismo 5!

If Batman needed a more discreet Batmobile, this would be it.

I can't wait for Gran Turismo 5, of course, I need to finish Forza Motorsport 3 first. :P

Amazing car in that photo. Wow.

i agree...fords suck and more like mustank...but i cant deny a good looking car when i see it.

ill gladly drive that classic american muscle :D

in the game... :(

Fords...suck?

Excuse me?

A fine selection Kaz. I would love for a demo to include the past SEMA winners.

...so does this mean it is pushed back another 6 months? GT5 is like groundhog day. If Kazunori sees another cool car, it's 6 more months of waiting (for them to model it).

While the car is awesome, I just hope they either trimmed down the time from car to model, or they decide to add it in as DLC after the game comes out. Otherwise if it still takes 6 months to put a new car into the game, then that means no GT5 for a while longer.

what the hell is so good about that TT its just custom paint....barely a kit or anything creative. It looks like the new tts or what would be called an RSTT.

best damn car ever made. And not to mention still purchasable today, what other company can say that!

Ohh the load times and install times this will be!

I just don't have the time.

Sorry gt5 I will be playing forza.

really ? So you played the game already? How long are the waiting times ? are they non existent like Uncharted or longerrrrrr ?

o...kay? Have fun installing the second disc of Forza 3?

Unless you like only playing with half the cars and tracks, if that's your thing.
