  • This is how cars and racing become my passion!!!

  • Gran Turismo 1 was Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment (Polyphony Digital) and Published by Sony Computer Entertainment and the console it was released was the PlayStation 1 and the Released Dates JP December 23, 1997

    NA May 12, 1998 EU May 8, 1998

  • I have this!!! I've had it since I was little! It taught me how to play driving games! Mum and I used to play it around 2007 for a bit of fun. :) hehe.

  • i still have this game in good condition :)

  • Best....intro.....ever

  • I would buy an HD remake of this game, as long as they keep the soundtrack intact.

    What a great soundtrack. Good times.

  • @phuturephunk Most of the greatest soundtracks come from these "old" but classic games. Good times, really. That was the 1st CD I inserted in my PS1.

  • came with my 1st playstation when i was 12 years old...fell in love with it almost instantly.

  • ..played it til my fingers bled..

    in the summer of ninetynine ;-)

    epic soundtrack and epic game!

  • WTF IS THIS GAME !!!! lol

    Forza 4 that just came out is way better lol

    omg cant beleive it...... the graphics are horrible

  • @XvsloliSNOOB don't worry, the in-game graphics were even worse xD

  • @XvsloliSNOOB well consider that this came out on the playstation one over ten years ago, WWWAAAYYYYYYY before Forza was even thought of, AND Forza 4 is crap aswell as it came out on the PS3 (Forza 4) so go stuff yourself

  • Damn. For a 1998 video game this looks amazing!

  • This game is the best even though it's old its still the best game out there

  • I just uploaded a slideshow video of British cars from the auto repair shop that I work at, and I used the soundtrack from the Gran Turismo 1 intro. I even mimicked the part where it has the makes of cars flashing quickly, and the screen shatter effect after that. A few cars to name in there are a Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, and Bentley!

  • Still gives me goose bumps every time I watch this. Just awesome.

  • How can I find this song? This would be a great song to hit the weights with, somone help.

  • @smokeyhat its a manic street preachers song remixed by chemical brothers called everything must go :D

  • I remember when I was like 7 years old, watching my dad play this, always racing in career mode and perfecting the tuning setups. then when I would play i would get the Castrol Supra GT and just do time trial mode on that SS Route 11 haha.

    I now have the same game copy from years ago , and I believe this game is the reason I fell in love with cars and know so many.

    90's. best ever.

  • fuck all the bullshitt. like they always say, nothing beats the original

  • This intro still looks crappier than the actual gameplay in GT5 but this will always have great memories.

  • Wow compared to gt5 you can see how much graphics have changed

  • The first game I've ever played!!!! Along with tekken 3, R4 and Metal Gear Solid.

  • caramba vc me fez lembrar nos meus tempos de criança quando eu jogava ele no ps1.

    era um jogo muito otimo,

    tinha akelas paradas de tirar carteira, que animava muito o jogo. mas o que eu mais gostava era a realidade com que os carros era controlados, e a corridas de "Endurance Race" que durava em media 1 a 1 hora e meia.

    muito bom.

  • Best game ever!!!

  • Remember the game shark for this game.

    You start the race in 2nd lap not 1st yet we got tons of money......too bad i this fo GT5 -_-

  • When the Gran Turismo logo came up and then the tyres screeched my hairs stood on end still to this day

  • llore! Esto es malo! puedes morir iminentemente!

  • @Regohr Tu comentario es invalido, asi que deja de llorar y vete a jugar Forza, el juego que no puede competir contra GT

  • @MetaKrakenPSN Mi comentario era sarcastico!!! ! lol

  • Biggest wave of Nostalgia around 1:15 - 1:16, Especially With Headphones.

  • BOOM and like that, a racer was born. :)

  • Without a doubt love the game & still have it in the original package.

    But dis song I love more.

    I would only listen to it thru Gran .

    THX U FOR RELIVING THE PAST!

    *~CHERS~*

  • I wouldn't listen 2 this song anywhere else...I just wouldn't b the same

  • This game made me become interested in racing when i was younger. No other Gran Turismo has this atmosphere. This game was a revolution and to this day, i still think it's the best racing game ever made.

  • Good old times. <3

  • All Gran Turismos are great, but this intro is the best of them all!

  • Man me and my cousins used to love this gameee!

  • @dominicanskull I was gonna say the same thing about me,my cousin & this game.

  • Huge !!!

  • I am about to pull this game and have at it for awhile... maybe more...

  • lol look how pixelate are the cars. Forza 4 has a lot of more graphics

  • @Xboxfagboy no kiddin

  • Forza 4, you may have me now. But this game is what got me into racing games!

  • 35 people like forza

  • This intro was and still is fantastic! The game's physics and graphics were ahead of its time! Its a shame that they didn't keep up with improving the game after this as all they have done is add more cars but have not done as well as Forza now. This will still remain as the groundbreaking game for Simulation Realism and I'm glad it was made, it was fantastic!! Still fun to play and still hoping for a big improvement for whenever they start working on Gran Turismo 6! Polyphony Digital,go for it!

  • The licensing courses were very hard to master in Gran Turismo.

  • I remember the first time i played this intro in my ps1!!! Still very nice for a 13 years old game...

  • Why i get goose bumps at 2:16??

  • I remember when I played GT is a really nice game: D

  • For a 32 bit operating system, the graphics are pretty damn amazing

  • i have the same birthday as this game, and even though i'm into dubstep and d'n'b, what a tune this is even though it's nearly 15 years old

  • who's still playin this in 2011 like me :]???

  • i got my Gran Turismo 1 playing right now, shame the disc is so scratched cause the intro just jumps :( !

  • this game took up so much of my life, but then my playstation 1 broke

  • 34 People Loves Forza xD

  • Like if you still play this game! :)

  • Good Ol' Times!

  • In my opinion that is the best Gran Turismo , The new ones are shit. Thinks like automatic drive destroy the game :(

  • thumbs up if your watching this in 2011 and thinking......"good times" then go to gran turismo 5 and think "even better times"

  • a legend !!!

  • the sound of that engine in 1:20 were the cars are launching.. can anybody make up what car that was looks like an EVO... what do you guy's think?

  • @1skylinedreamz Yeah, its an EVO IV GSR '96

  • @1skylinedreamz thats an sti

  • memories.....

  • I love that engine rev @1:23-1:24

  • I FUCKING LOVED THIS GAME!

  • O: Oh my Madonna I miss so much this game T_T Watching this I feel like if my old times are coming back to life :D :D I remember when I was hours playing this *w*

  • Memories...

  • Ah... I've been playing this since I was six. Still the greatest bloody game ever. Soft spot for the Viper but the exhaust noise from the Supra RZ in GT1 was something special as well.

  • lol. i love this game...this is still the only gran tourismo i haveXD

  • Can't forget that game with all its glitches it fine wen I was younger but now it's a Lego stop motion game

  • i dont really like gran torismo cas there is no free run like gta cop the recruit and need for speed

  • @SuperTRINISH this is a fucking driving simulator. its not supposed to be car chasing, its racing. and by the way, gets some glasses and spell turismo right. its in the fucking title your retarded cunt

  • @thegreat0298 I like your point of view

  • Bad quality, but brings back memories and I still play this game on my ps1

  • Aahhh... 1998... Takes me back...

  • Graphics the like of which I had never seen before. I still remember seeing the metallic paint effects for the first time. I jizzed for the first time

  • Best racing game Forever

  • I have GT4 and GT5 as well as the first one... the soundtrack of 4 and 5 just fails in comparison with the original!!!

  • I still have trouble on believing that the PS1 had this much graphical potential... I was awestruck the first time I unlocked the 60fps mode for GT1!!!

  • this is one of the best game intros of all time, from any period, its classic, you wouldnt get this kind of intro nowadays.

  • omgnostalgia

  • I love it how when you select a car they all have monster tires on =P

  • I really really liked the "Not quite real" race mod liveries. Polyphony didn't have much clout then so their racing liveries just had the car manufacturer replacing the usual sponsor.

  • Seriously the best ever intro

  • Real men used the NSX.

  • @furyksx Damn straight =)

  • i love the engine sound at 1:20 :DD !

  • i played this when i was 4 yrs. old it was the best gran turismo game ever!!!

  • I haven't heard this intro in about 10 years, but within the first couple seconds I had goosebumps again.

  • @stevemoore12 same, i pulled out my PS1, every thing worked fine, but guess what? Corrupt memory card. :(

  • this intro makes me remember my childhood, now I'm 20 years old, I'm studying to become an automotive designer willing to work for Pininfarina one day, I've been drawing cars since I was like 5 years old, I guess GT series were an important factor in that decision, the best decision of my life, thank you Gran Turismo

  • @mikecustoms same, i was a bit too young for gt1 though, i got gt3 when i was 5 and man, i would play it everyday and on sundays i would watch f1, touring cars ,rallying and from that day i got gt3 i wanted to be a racing driver so badly, i soon went karting for my freinds birthday party and believe it or not, the track owner said i have an extremely close driving style to ayrton senna, he asked me if i wanted to enter karting championships but unfortunatly my parents are poor and couldnt afford

  • @mikecustoms it, and now i have to watch vettel constantly win, it just shows how sad it is that money is the only way to go forward, but good luck with pininfarina though

  • AA QUE NOSTALGIA !!!! (: TAMBIEN MI INTRO FAVORITO .............RECUERDO ESAS LARGASTARDES ... NUCA ILVIDARE QUE ESTE JUEGO HIZO MI NIÑEZ .PASE HORAS Y HORAS JUGANDOLO

  • watching this makes me feel im getting old :( lol

  • This is one of my greatest memories as a small child in the 90s.

  • best game ever!

  • ohhh it's very good soundtrack

  • has it really been so many years?

  • the best forever

  • Dang, this video proves that we getting old! I feel like as if I just watched this for the first time yesterday, but that was 13 years ago!!

  • I Remember Starting My PS1 Over And Over Just To See This... Now I've Got A PS2 And No GT1, So I'm Uploading It To My PSP.

  • Memory Card 1 Loading........ :)

  • I seriously get chills throughout this whole intro. Legend.

  • This game totally made me the man I am o.o

  • lol i remember playing this and thinking to myself "wow the graphics are like the real life".

  • @Fantomas612 Hahaha you hit the nail on the head.

  • @Fantomas612, then GT5 was released

  • I consider myself a bit of a Forza fanboy these days but after all these years I still consider this to be the best racing game intro of all time (still waiting to see forza 4 though) and this game as one of the most important racing games ever. GT1 changed everything for racing games and it was the game that made me really appreciate cars and motor sports. Kinda makes me think how the same studio produced GT5... =/ I'm not saying forza is better... Just saying that GT5 is a disappointment...

  • the best cars on gran turismo 1 - Viper GTS, Corvette Grand Sport, Camaro Z28, Toyota Supra RZ 1997, Nissan GT-R r33, Honda NSX, Mitzubishi GTO twinturbo, Mazda RX 7, and the best car 4ever is - 2:03 - 2:06

  • arnhtikes pshfoi?! O.o ma pws... poioi... kai gt? se auto d prepei kan na uparxei to dislike! :P

  • @Keywizzle1997, look at the last four numbers of your account name.

  • If machinima ever does a top 10 intriso this should be on it

  • ayyyy no manches este intro me gusta mucho que tiempos =)

  • the KING oF all Intro Racing GAMES ever Screw all stupid racing games

  • i cant wait to jerk off to forza 4

  • That ONE specific moment in the whole intro, when all the cars rev up and tear up the asphalt is what flashes my childhood in front of my eyes again...

  • From about 2:20 - 2:23, with the old school blue Toyota MR-2, it's almost like a metaphor for life. When you spin out, you GET THE F**k back in there, and win like a champion!

  • They need to put this game on the PSN store!

  • @grimmmm5 Hell yeah!!!!

  • Classic

  • The best intro 4ever !

  • 2:02 - 2:05 gives me goosebumps

  • this still gives me wood!

  • Too much nostalgia to handle...

  • TEH BESTEST !!!4

  • Comment removed

  • The best racing game there will ever be

  • I decided to pop in my copy of GT1 again today. I haven't had this much fun with a video game in a long time, even more than some of the games that came out in the past year.

  • Graphics aren't bad even by todays standards!

  • man it even almost makes me wanna cry to hear the cars going at it during the intro god i love japanese cars this cars are the reason why i'm into cars so much...

  • @1skylinedreamz yep it is ! Thx M8

  • i find a video it is the same voice ?

    watch?v=xdCrZfTkG1c&feature=re­lated

    0:55

    = )

  • It is Freddie Mercury voice ? 1:50 or 2:07

  • @31stFFJumper

    it's james bradfield of the manic street preachers (everything must go).

  • its old, but this one is the most appropriate intro for this game ... :)

  • My passion for cars comes from this game, especially the 90's Japanese sports cars. If they were to remake this game with updated graphics for the ps3 I would stand outside best buy for a month waiting for its release.

  • 1.23 gave me CHILLZ!!! ^_^

  • suzuki escudo <3

  • LEGENDARY !!!

  • 2:04 - 2:06.. is what made me fall in love with the Dodge Viper. ;P

  • Das waren noch Zeiten...

  • Thumbs up if this was how you first learned of the GTR 32 -33 skyline.

  • @returnoffumanchu

    yeah. and the skylines still stuck as my no.1 favorite car until now because of gran turismo :D

  • Man, that JGTC Castrol Supra coming into focus over the first of the vocals at 1:54 still puts the hair up on the back of my neck.

    Thanks for putting this up. I'd looked for it a while ago.

  • epic...

  • This was the first psone game i played, i can remember me playing with my dad... Good times.

  • @itzWiLLiaM LO ME TOO!

  • haha my last name was in the part where all the car names wer everywhere:) its griffith

  • PS1 bought because of Gran Turismo, PS2 bought because of Gran Turismo & Even the PS3 bought because of Gran Turismo :) I have to say - I <3 Gran Turismo - !!!

  • brings a tear to my eye... the good ol'days :')

  • This was the game that got me into racing simulations. This intro is what gave me the love of cars.

  • 1:23 i always get shivers down my spine!

  • WHY PLAYSTATION!!!?? WHY THE FUCK WON'T YOU PUT THIS GAME ON PSN!?

  • Anybody else get chills

  • @JT2327 hell yeah man, this song is badass!

  • 1:22 *head spontaneously explodes*

  • they dont make em like this anymore

  • @pepsibottleq your right. i was actually a bit dissapointed with GT5. i prefer GT5 prologue.

  • Looks sick and its like 50 years old.

  • @Ident1ty08 14 years to be exact.

  • This game is the brainchild of the Forza Motorsport

  • this game was the main fuels to the fire for my passion for cars...so many memories, it almost brings a tear to my eye ... i have both gran turismo 1 and 2 on my phone (android ftw) when i feel the need to relive memories

  • We've come a long way ... sighs ./..../

  • i was at the ripe age of 12 when this game came out and have been burning virtual rubber ever since!

  • Haha this game is so legendary I couldn't get off of this game even at 3 years old lol, I would stay on this game until like 3 A.M and to this day I still stay on that long, these r 1 of the few games from the 90's that r still popular today

    And yes haha the part from 1:17-1:22 still gives me goosebumps lol :D

  • do you realise how lucky e are? if like me you started here..... (my early teens) playing this game.... it opened the door to all the racing simulators.

    this game was sorry i STILL is the mile stone.

    and we can all directly compare all the racing sims that came out after to this one game.

    do yourself a favout though. do not PLAY it again... nothing worse than ruining your memories of a classic by playing it again 4 years after.... after playing modern racing games..

    it will ruin the memory.

  • @thunderRus Nah, playing a classic 5 - 7 years later just makes it better... the nostalgia is fckng awesome. A few weeks ago I played F1 2000 Season (PS1) and I was amazed on how cool it is...

  • @kynigh well your a better man than me then.. i went back and played a few... and i ruined it for myself.. they felt dreadfull..... but thats me.. been spoilt by the new age consoles and games that around today. shame really.

  • @thunderRus I mean, sometimes I feel like playing a classic for days, like getting GT1 from scratch and start it all over again, but when I try it, I end up quitting after a few hours playing, but this doesn't make me think the game has "became worse"... When the nostalgia goes away, the need to play it goes too :D

  • ...beautiful. thanks for uploading!!

  • good thing happens wen some one take time and pride on everything they do this is one example -locospeed- fan of grand turismo series

  • Thanks asshole. You made me cry all over my keyboard now.

  • >.<
