VIDEO: Gran Turismo PSP opening movie - Here come the supercars

The folks who have crafted Gran Turismo for Sony's PSP have put together an opening movie sequence, and as you might imagine, it is chock full of supercars.

Coming to a console near you: Midnight Club: Los Angeles 1 year ago on Autoblog

HKS R33 Skyline Drag GT-R heads to retirement 2 years ago on Autoblog
