Samit Sarkar (he/him) is Polygon’s deputy managing editor. He has more than 17 years of experience covering video games, movies, television, and technology.
The classic car was recently rebuilt, and the game’s developers at Polyphony Digital digitized it so Gran Turismo 6 players can drive it themselves. The 1948 Hornet will be available as DLC tomorrow, Dec. 19, at 3:01 a.m. ET. In-game footage of the Hornet is available above, while screenshots can be found below.
The Hornet was rebuilt for First Love, a Gran Turismo 6 tie-in documentary on Andretti and his bond with the car. You can check out a trailer for First Love below, and watch it online here.
