Gran Turismo 4 (also known as GT4) was released on December 28, 2004 in Japan (NTSC-J), February 22, 2005 in the United States (NTSC-U/C), and March 9, 2005 in Europe (PAL), and has since been re-issued under Sony's 'Greatest Hits' line. After being delayed for over a year and a half by Polyphony Digital and having its online mode removed, Gran Turismo 4 was still one of the most anticipated console games of 2005, and sold a million copies in its first week at Japanese retail. It featured 721 cars (in the PAL version) from 80 manufacturers, from as early as the 1886 Daimler Motor Carriage, to the Nissan 350Z Gran Turismo edition, a collaboration between Nissan and Polyphony Digital, and as far into the future as concepts for 2022. The game also features 51 tracks, many of which are new or modified versions of old Gran Turismo favourites. Notable track inclusions are the Nordschleife variant of the Nürburgring, Suzuka Circuit, Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe, tracks modeled after world famous attractions such as New York's Times Square, Hong Kong, Paris, and the drag strip in Las Vegas.
A PSP port, entitled Gran Turismo 4 Mobile is due to be released in June, 2006.
Tourist Trophy, a motorcycle riding simulator "powered by Gran Turismo 4" has been released by the creators of Gran Turismo 4 on the PlayStation 2 in early 2006.
