Digital Polyphony have released an update for GT5 Prologue. Contained within are 3 new cars including the sexy looking GT by Citroen Concept shown above. The two other new cars are the Ferrari California and the Lotus Evora.

Gameplay enhancements include a penalty system - specifically, during Time Trial events, speed penalties have been removed, and instead incurring such a penalty now invalidates the lap time for that particular lap. Race events are also being updated, with tweaked difficulty levels and increased earnings for winning a top spot. Additionally, improved responsiveness when using the wireless controller, and improved sound volume balance for sound effects and music for a better racing experience. Drift Trial races have also been changed to feature a rolling start.
