Drive the Ferrari F2007 in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
Click above to view more screenshots of the Ferrari F2007 on GT5
The beauty about driving games like Forza 2 and Gran Turismo 5 is that they give us (yes, even us here at Autoblog) the chance to drive cars we otherwise couldn't get anywhere near. The latest virtual joy ride to hit the news cycle is the Ferrari F2007, the very same Formula One car that Kimi Raikkonen drove last year to the drivers' title and – with a little help from teammate Felipe Massa – the constructors' championship, as well.
According to the latest information posted on the official Playstation blog, the F2007 will be among the many exciting new cars available for your gaming pleasure in the new GT5 Prologue. The championship-winning racer in officially sanctioned rosso livery will be available for 2 million game credits from all Ferrari dealerships on Gran Turismo 5, so start earning your points as soon as you get your hands on the game. Then spend your sleepless nights trying to beat Kimi's laptimes. Until then, keep the dream alive with the screenshots in the gallery below. Thanks for the tip, Peter!

I'm not much of a gamer, I'd buy this just to get to drive the prancing horse. (even if it is just in the realm of video-land)

No wonder it looks so good. They have a TON of money backing it up now especially with what looks like most of the RL sponsors jumping on the GT5 racing sim orgy.
Buying a PS3 for sure when the the real game comes out.

$2M? that seems a little cheap... an Acruca NSX cost $8M

The NSX probably costs 8M in the Japanese version of the game where credits are pretty much equal to yen... whereas the F1 car probably is 2M credits in the U.S. version (in dollars).

"One car that Kimi Raikkonen drove last year to the drivers' title and – with a little help from teammate Felipe Massa – the constructors' championship, as well."
Should read:
One car that Kimi Raikkonen drove last year to the drivers' title with a little help from teammate Felipe Massa and – with a little help from Fernando Alonso – the constructors' championship, as well.

Lol my thoughts exactly. Don't forget the helping hand the FIA provided too! Even though I am a Ferrari fan, it's unfortunate it had to come down to politics, even if McLaren did copy Ferrari designs. Which I think we should not go into here, lol. Still, this is cool- good to see that Sony still uses their F1 exclusive license for more stuff than the occasional game. But damn that license needs to expire so everyone else can get a crack at F1!

Fixed.

im glad GT5 won't be stuck with the generic 'formula gt' cars anymore. finally automakers are figuring out that there is a whole new way for fans to express their interest in their product and all they have to do is give some info to some programmers.
i am kind of surprised that F1 is allowing this, they have their own games (that suck) and that used to be the only place to e-drive their cars.

Although I am a fan of both the Gran Turismo and Forza series, Forza can not hang with Gran Turismo. Forza is a driving game, Gran Turismo is a driving simulation.

Yes, I totally agree that. Forza is a driving game, Gran Turismo is a driving simulation. I personally more like Forza, though I am not much of a gamer. I found myself more interested in Forza Motorsport 2, and am planning to get one to play, I found one here: http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=91363&ru=279 , it looks cool, but I cannot decide. Any ideas?

I have an idea about your comment being spammy.

Hmm.. this sounds very promising. I wonder what other race-spec cars they will implement in the final version of the game, like DTM racers or Le Mans prototype racers and what not...? They better have downloadable cars too, like Forza does..! Oh, the suspense!
