Gran Turismo fans! If you’re in New York this Thursday, we will be part of a major Honda event in the middle of Times Square to celebrate the launch of their CR-Z Sport Hybrid coupe. In addition to tons of displays, interactive elements, and on-stage entertainment (N.E.R.D.!), we will have a number of racing sleds available for consumers to come by and play the latest build of Gran Turismo 5 in glorious stereoscopic 3D, featuring the all-new CR-Z.
Honda will have a huge 3D Spectacolor screen installed to show off their new “Eclipse” commercial in 3D (at 46th, between Broadway and 7th), and there will be a host of other 3D content that will be showcased at the event.
Some other items to keep an eye out for:
- Exclusive musical performance by N.E.R.D. at the Honda Stage at 12:30pm located on Broadway between 42nd and 43rd Streets
- Interactive CR-Z vehicle displays
- Racing simulators for fans to play Gran Turismo 5 in 3D, featuring the CR-Z in-game
- Maxim models on site to distribute copies of the first ever 3D issue which includes a CR-Z 3D ad
- Polite in Public photo booths with 3D backdrops
- Distribution of special screen-printed shirts on-site
The event is this Thursday, September 23rd going from 10am to 6pm. Hope to see you there!

I wish I could be there.
Only one response including “Honda” in it? No Honda love? :(
In any case, this is going to be very schwing event. Can’t wait to see some Honda innovation inside GT5 come Thursday. Perfect way for Polyphony Digital to showcase their upcoming release. Go Honda and PD teams!
Hmm… I smell more GT5 gameplay videos!
