Gran Turismo 4: Mazda MX-5 Edition

The Mazda MX-5 Edition demo of Gran Turismo 4 was given as a prize in the Mazda Zoom-Zoom Live event held in 2005. This demo, unlike every other Gran Turismo 4 demo before it, is built off the final game and was built around a month after the US build date, with GT4.VOL reporting a build date of February 21st, 2005. Unlike any other Gran Turismo demo before it, the game’s settings are fully adjustable, just as they are in the final game, to the extent that you can run the game in 480p or 1080i display modes. Photo Mode is also fully available.

You are given the choice to either drive in a single opponent race or in a time trial on Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Tsukuba Circuit or Côte d’Azur in a 2005 Mazda MX-5 (NC generation), which was a brand new model at the time, although it is possible the car featured in-game is a pre-production or auto show presentation model as it is marked as a concept car. As in the final game, you can race in either mode in A-spec or B-spec modes and unlike any other Gran Turismo demo, there is no default time limit.
