The GRAN TURISMO ICEBERG explained 

Check out my new Gran Turismo trivia video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L-vr_9L3j8I.html

GT Sport has Snow tires, but no snow courses for some reason.

Always thought the “HMMMMMMM” at Laguna Seca was just imitating the sound of the car accelerating up hill

There was a glitch in GT3 that with the right settings would allow the Escudo to achieve speeds in excess of 450 mph (724 km/h) while doing a wheelie on the test course. However, taking the car out of bounds on the Seattle Circuit one could achieve 10124883 mph (16294420 km/h) Which is about 1.5% the speed of light. A record no other car in GT history has ever beaten. hahaha.

At first I was like: "Oh I knew all of these things, I'm a day 1 hardcore GT fan" BUT THEN RAYS VESTA WHEELS

Fun fact, the stealth version of the Nissan R92CP is a real car, it appears to be the testing vehicle before the car debuted. It may have been the inspiration for the stealth series

I’ve “driven” a Toyota Pod! They used to be drivable around a set track course at the Toyota Museum in Odaiba, Tokyo. Unfortunately, the Toyota Museum has since been closed as the larger building it was in has been set for demolition, but hopefully the Pods are being kept somewhere for future display.

We have arrived to the point that even a sim-cade racing game with no characters has a lore. Nice.

20:55 Really important correction about Translator-San. He wasn't using pre-written translations. He was writing on-the-fly translations to assist him to make sure he didn't get things wrong due to the more complicated aspect of translating game technologies and whatnot. This is an unfortunate misconception which lead people to assume he was lazy or unskilled versus actually going above and beyond to try and get it right.

Nessie actually does exist in GT7. On Trial Mountain, if you wait at turn 13 for 5 minutes, Nessie pops it's head out from the lake.

"Plam Strip" is most likely not a typo of Palm but rather a mistranslation of Plum. The Japanese alphabet does not contain an 'uh' sound, so the 'ah' sound is used in its place when saying foreign words, and of course being a part of Apricot Hill (a similar fruit) would be reason to give it this name.

What a shame that the palio di siena track had to be removed, really shows how far behind the city council must've been, at least at the time, not realising how big of a publicity would've brought something like that.

18:56 Matt, That car name is Generic Sport Car 2013!

Iirc, The Diablo got cut since the way they got licensing for it in GT3 was through the Japanese Lamborghini owners club, and not Lamborghini itself, and due to this they had reasonable concerns that this would bring up licensing issues overseas, so it was cut on the PAL and NTSC releases.

Fun fact about the last topic: In the final Japanese version (+ some demos), there's a glitch that gains so much speed. Using a 4WD car (like the Black Impreza), you drive towards the wall at an angle, and soon enough you'll be flying as shown in the trailer footage.

I think that mystery car in the anniversary trailer is actually the 2002 R35 Concept; before it received its revision into the Proto.

The monkey stayed on the tree branch for roughly thirteen years that’s some dedication lol

The cut versions of Special Stage Route X from GT5 have always intrigued me, especially since we've seen footage of one of them in the Acura NSX trailer. Special Stage Route 11 showing up in GT2 screenshots as well.

There's a glitch in GT2 on Laguna Seca at the first turn. If you go full speed with a fast car like the Escudo or Speed 12 at the corner between the tire barrier and the wall, you can slowly force yourself through it. I'm sure other people have found this too, but I felt like the coolest kid when I was 9 and found this out.

Here´s some little known stuff I´ve seen; Original Gran Turismo disc data contains hud graphics for fuel cauges, fuel usage might have been considered even for the first GT. Also, people have also found graphics for custom wheels that weren´t used in the game, wheel customization seems to also be a cut feature from GT(1). I´m wondering what´s the story of the 3d models seen in the rendered movies in the game, were they already working on high poly models for later titles or were those made for press pictures? There are also some effects in the Arcade mode Track preview movies, like the sun shine effects, that were used in GT3. They worked on GT2&3 at the same time, makes me wonder if those were some tests for GT3.

Ridge Racer?! That Bertone thing looks straight out of Wipeout!!

I remember in GT5 you could get out of boundaries in like 3 tracks Special Stage Route 9, Nürburgring and Suzuka. They got patched back then by fixing the collision on SSR9 and Suzuka, but Nürburgring was half-fixed by a respawn barrier that you could still avoid sometimes. These glitches were used to farm credits in online races because they allowed the drivers to skip most of the track, with laps of a few seconds. A lot of people grouped up in online sessions just for 99 laps races with these glitches. I remember Polyphony noticed these glitches during a weekly event, with Nascar at Suzuka. Top drivers had a 10 seconds lap, and you could watch their replay.

The most obscure NASCAR car in Gran Turismo history is Danica's GoDaddy car that was cut from Gran Turismo 6. It would've been nice to see someone replace Brian Vickers as the 11th driver in the "Gran Turismo Racing Family" after Red Bull sold their team to a Burger King franchisee, but I guess someone decided that including a female driver would not have gone over well in certain parts of the world. Another mystery I would've added to the iceberg is centered around the Panoz Esperante GTR-1. Many cars from the PS2 era were carried over to GTPSP and the PS3 games, and it would be common to see sponsorship logos censored or removed when those licenses expired. The fact that the Road Atlanta logo was present on the Panoz from Gran Turismo 3 to Gran Turismo 6 suggests that Polyphony held licensing rights for Road Atlanta for all those years, yet the track itself never appeared in the Gran Turismo series. It's worth noting that Road Atlanta used to be owned by the late Don Panoz, so it's likely that the Panoz license and the Road Atlanta license came as a package deal. Still, you have to wonder why Polyphony would continue to just sit on that license well into the 2010s while an emerging competitor is actually using it. Road Atlanta has always been a staple of the Forza Motorsport series.

It feels kinda special driving the 800 pp endurance races on GT7, seeing the GT-R Kaz raced around the Nurburgring having the Ordonez nametag on it

I am surprised you did not mention the secret message underneath the R34 Skyline in GT5. It's not ground breaking, but I still wonder to this day what was the reason for it, if there was any at all.

On the GT3 F1 Test car, you can still read "West" on the spoiler 🤣

I was lucky enough to spend the day at Milbrook in early 2003 when they were doing all the Gran Turismo 4 photography and drive bys for sound testing. I went along with my Dad who had taken his Ginetta G20 there along with many other Ginetta’s (all sadly didn’t make the final cut apart from the G4) I wonder where all that data is of my Dad’s race car? Richard Hammond from Top Gear was there also. Again they filmed but the footage never made a UK episode.

I am so down for a second video. Love these icerberg videos in general, but with gran turismo getting treatment I'm double excited!

Just want to add that the Trial Mountain monkey was already there in the first known version of GT3, the Autobacs Replay Theater. The Nessie is also featured in GT3's Trial Mountain.

This is incredible! I absolutely loved the research and insight into the Gran Turismo franchise! Well done Matt!

When we most needed, he returned

When modding was in (don't judge me) I managed to insert a Red Bull 5G with original chassis and perfomance. Still have it on my GT5 save and it's fully functional

If i remember correctly, nessie did return in GT7. In full 3d too

Awesome video 🤙🏽. Along the lines of the paradolia I’m not sure if you have ever talked about the illusion of an acura NSX in the barrier of Tsukuba track. From a distance it resembles the NSX but its just the barrier colors and textures as you get closer. Also the hidden Miatas available in GT3 with cheat codes, including a race version with a roll bar and mud flaps i think.

31:00 Purely speculation, but considering GT PSP had the unique mechanic of being able to trade/wager cars with your friends who also had the game, I wonder if “Gran Turismo for Boys” had the intended goal of taking a Pokémon-esque collect-a-thon angle, where you would build your garage kinda like a Hot Wheels collection and challenge friends if they had a rare car you wanted.

Didn’t primary the cat pass away? I thought I heard that. If she did, we need to honor her by making her the official Gran Turismo mascot. She could go toe to toe with fucking Pikachu!

Barking, East London, GT1's inside sleeve had a picture taken from underneath the overpass in Barking as you come off the A13. I replicated the picture way back, it is Barking, UK.

0:35 **Obscure by Daiki Kasho plays**

Always thought that the "Hmmmmmm" was some kind of placeholder forgotten to be replaced with other sponsorships

Extra info on 34:52 : Footage of the aftermath of the R32 can be found on from a Japanese BTS video of GT3. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AqfseBEBXsI.html) At around 9.23, the R32 is absolutely mauled.

Amazing work! It turned out amazing Matt! Thank you for the collab and I'll be looking forward to more collabs in the future!

I am not 100% sure, but I think that at 19:04 or so, when it's mentioned that the white car "was never seen outside of this" is incorrect. That car is the very first concept of the R36 GTR, one which has changed, and you will find a different, red vehicle, if you look it up now. It also reminds me of the original, 2001 R35 concept, but I'm 99% sure that it is an R36 concept.

You brought back a memory I had completely forgotten!!! When I was a kid I used to do the OOB glitch at Motorsports Land every day! I found it due to me always getting bored and grinding walls (for whatever reason). I’d use the fastest cars in the game and try to tune for top speed but was always difficult bc OOB was apparently “dirt” and the car would bounce around. And I believe if you drive far enough, the car will fall into abyss. I’m pretty sure there was another track that did this as well but the free space to roam was limited. I can’t remember which course that was though. I’d have to look through the track list for GT/GT2 again. Awesome video!!!

Spa on GT2 has blown my mind! How did I never realise that!? Granted I was like 12/13 years old but still!

Keep up the great work dude, I love seeing gt content like this

The Redbull X2010 JP Flag Color car can actually be accessed with a save editor via gift ticket, I have it

Do you know of the GT6 speed glitch that almost nobody knows about? There's a speed glitch that makes your car behave very strangely that permanently effects your car. What it does is it makes the wheels of the car spin much faster than they're supposed to in the game which resulted in my Mini Marcos GT getting to 304 mph and my Tomahawk X to reach 1,880 mph. Most cars you can't move from a standing start so you'll have to get someone to push you in order for your car to get going. However, in cars where you can accelerate on your own you have to press the reverse button to go forward until you get to a certain speed and then you hold the throttle to keep accelerating. I remember I had to make a full setup for my Tomahawk X in order to have control of the car because it was extremely difficult to get it going. One bizarre thing with driving the car (aside from constant tire smoke/screeching, sparks, stuck at max rpm and the constant clicking noise which is higher pitch than what you hear when driving the 2X VGT) is that the tires clip through the car and get bigger and bigger the more you drive and it gets to where you literally can't see where you're going. This happens a lot more quickly when you drive backwards in the Tomahawk X where it only takes a few minutes for the tires stretch until you can't see. The thing that puzzels me is how you do the glitch (not because I forgot how to but because I don't know how this would make the cars glitch out). In order to glitch your car, first you have to have a custom course named "50m home stretch" (from what I can remember). Then you have to go into the pits from the pit exit. The track is too short for the game to make sense of how the pits should work and the pits are about 2 to 3 times shorter than how it's supposed to be. So you respawn and the car is glitched. The first thing you'll notice in most cars is that you can't move. If you can, you'll notice the car behave MUCH differently and it makes a clicking sound and the revs behave differently. And finally, you can't turn nearly at all when accelerating. Your car takes much longer to get up to speed than normal but will have a much higher top speed (but there are some instances where the glitched car is slower depending on the car itself). Anyways I thought I'd share this because it was an interesting glitch that some of my friends discovered on GT6 and I would've included this into the iceberg and there's a lot of things to know about this glitch since almost no one seems to know about it. :/

This video had brought back so many memories. Me and a couple online buddies took the GT series and our races very Seriously. Im an original GT playerbfrom the first game. Love simulators.

Dude keep these videos coming!!! So interesting to geek out Gran Turismo!!

I found another secret but in GT5 Prologue. Not the kiosk mode itself, but in it. If you go to favorite tracks and not select any of them, you get all of the normal tracks plus 3 new ones, the Nordschleife, Circuit de la Sarthe, and Tsukuba.

You missed the money making glitch in GT6 :) You installed the v1.01 patch, which includes the Mercedes VGT car which was originally not on the disc. Than you deleted the patch and start the game without internet connection (I guess this is the reason why we since GTS have a always on policy). Than you went into your garage and saw a non existing car, with a weird name. You could now sell it for ridicoulos over 60 mio. Even if you can have max. 20 mio. cr. Than you download the patch again, buy some of the VGT (vor 1 mio each) and when ever you had 20 mio, you go car shopping :D I loved it!

Around 2006 I fell asleep one time while playing Grand turismo 3 and had a dream I drove out of bounds the map for a while and ended up at Mc Donalds near me and drove past my house was very trippy..

For that weird GT6 car, I'm leaning towards it being one of the R35 prototypes, but which one, I don't know

There is a hidden car on Gran Turismo SPORT called "Audi R18 TDI (Le Mans 2011)". It might look very simillar to the other R18 found in-game, but this one has bodywork scratches. You can only get it from the daily rewards and so far there's no way to unlock it otherwise.

I thought you'd mention somewhere little known fact, that Snoop Dogg made a song for and about Gran Turismo 3

I've been wanting to see a GT iceberg video for a while, and somehow this one is just like what i had imagined haha Great video as always!

The Trial Mountain tree is still there in GT7! Its in the final scene of the championship intro that is first set in Trial Mountain

I had a toy of the Doge Copperhead pre-controversy. No idea there was some controversy behind it hahaa!

I haven't begun watching this just yet, but I will and I am so glad that random videos like this even exist

Thoroughly enjoyed this, nice work 👍

I know why the old tree isnt present in gt7. Its because they altered the entire landscape to give the track unnecessarily longer straights, you could tell yourself they tore it down to do track renovations. But that's a weird spot to put yourself since the mountains are now in different places.. I wish they left it how it was. Deep forest I dont mind the extended straights, but trial mountain's back straight and corner were really cool on the old version, as well as the corner sequence entering the main straight being funner and faster.

I also distinctly remember purchasing and driving the 85 Dakar rally Mitsubishi Pajero on gt5 and it not being available after an update. I know it existed because I have lap time data on certain tracks while driving it, but I haven’t seen it since

I'm pretty sure the Toyota Pod appears as a body in Road Trip Shifting Gears on the GBA

Great video thanks for showing the series love ❤️

Awesome video, you knocked it out of the (Driving) park once again!

The unknown white car might be the Nissan GT-R concept from the early 2000s

Great vid Matt. Cant wait for the second iceberg

Will be looking forward to the second iceberg

Great stuff as usual Matt. 👍

The iceberg was very interesting. Good video!

The GT6 "mystery" car is the 2020 nissan GTR concept car that was released in GT Sport.

Nessie made it into gt7, as an animated timed event

Fun Fact about the Kyoto Driving Park Square: If you check out a RU-vidr by the name of Vanilla, he has a video of him driving on it as he has a jailbroken PS4.

I think we should also talk about the fact that you can drive upside down with some cars on modded tracks in GT6

Back in the 2000’s kids remember “Zoom zoom zoom”, the weirdo kids remember “Hmmmmmmm”

One thing to say : Thank you very much Matt !

I normally hate "iceberg" videos, they play way too hard into the creepy tone and overdramatize every single mundane obvious thing, but this one is tastefully done, i loved it, well done.

Kaz's own Lancer being in the Language Select screen blows my mind, as since I was a kid I always thought it strange this particular car was so emphasised in the photo.

Thanks! Extremely fun and informative! 👍😎

To expand on that Bluebird, it had a sneaky boost controller activated by the ashtray, open it up and you get full boost, close it and you have legal boost

Salute to the tall, withered tree, it served us well and sacrificed itsself before GT7

awesome work! I would love to see a second part

Nice vid, please make more of those, maybe with Forza Motorsports and Auto Modelista

The GT Sport infamously used snow tires although no snow tracks.

41 minutes, worth Good job on the video, it was very well made

As the "Hmmmmmmmm" I wonder why, I was racing there in the PSP version and that still there

Glad to see you back!

I'm surprised nobody is talking about that cursed Beluga Whale at the final tier.

I've been watching dozens of videos like these already and I think the more I watch, the more of a waste of time it is, but no ... I actually found out something new today. I never knew about the Gran Turismo 4 Mazda MX-5 Edition! Very cool!

Well done mate!

I love this video and all of the obscyooor facts.

that was a fantastic video. so well done.

I texted you for the Paraidolia phenomenon and you shout out me, thanks 😊 however, you showed better examples in the old video. By the way great video, i laughed hard at the black Impreza 🤣

Excellent video, thank you. 👍

On the Kyoto Driving Park subject I remember seeing a rectangular course somewhere in Fuji Speedway. I always wondered what is it every time I raced there in arcade mode in GT6. Not sure if it's there in previous games but it's interesting🤔

One of the oddest things to come from Poly, is Tourist Trophy. Which is GT4 but........................ with Motorcycles.

I´m curious to see if there will be those weird things I´ve wondered about in the first games x>

I know this is a old video, but in GT5 the Lexus LFA the color Fresh Green is Misspelled as Frash Green. It was my own personal meme and I bought the car several times so I could have a Frash Green Enzo, and a Frash Green Corvette Race Card.

hah even the bottom of the iceberg stuff for you sounded very easy ;d thanks for the channel mate

I'm sure I researched the Hmmmmm back when GT4 was released and was under the impression that at the time it was a Husqvarna advertisement at Laguna Seca that GT didn't have the licenses to use
