The full list of cars that will feature in the forthcoming Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PS3 has been revealed by Sony.

Whether your taste runs to a classic Corvette, a late model Ferrari, the boy racers' favourite Subaru WRX, or a cute little Daihatsu Copen, there should be something in the lineup for you.

Other features of the game include include driving physics, tougher opponents, six "seriously realistic" tracks, and provision for up to 16 players to compete in a race over the PlayStation Network.

Which track takes your fancy? Eiger Nordwand, Daytona International Speedway, the London City Track, Fuji Speedway, Suzuka and the High Speed Ring are all featured. And if your car isn't set up quite right, the Quick Tune feature lets you adjust the power, tyre, suspension and other settings.

Sony's even included some extra features for those of us that get the European version of the game: drift mode, more detailed tuning, split-screen mode for two players to compete on the same console, and scheduled online competitions.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to ship later this month.

The full list of cars - all officially licensed - is over the page.
