# Porsche Models Confirmed for Gran Turismo Sport

For as long as I can remember, racing games such as *Gran Turismo* and *Forza Motorsport*, as comprehensive as their car lists were, always had one key omission: Porsche. Outside of the occasional *Forza* expansion pack, the storied German manufacturer was tied down by an exclusive licensing agreement to EA, the publishers of the *Need for Speed* series. Late last year, however, [that deal came to an end](<https://www.polygon.com/2016/12/13/13935732/porsche-ea-exclusive-license-gran-turismo>). At last, Porsche has shed its digital shackles and now *Gran Turismo* fans can finally look forward to getting their flat-six fix. In a tweet from PlayStation's official account this afternoon, the inclusion of Porsche and 'new tracks' were confirmed alongside a link where players can sign-up to play the beta ([my first impressions of which can be found here](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/8884/exclusive-first-impressions-from-gran-turismo-sport-beta.md>)).

The above screenshots only show the 991.1 GT3 RS, but but it's safe to assume it won't be the only Porsche in the game. They've *gotta* have other ones, right? There's also no mention that I can find of what "new tracks" is referring to specifically, but brownie points to whoever can tell us where this happens to be:

This is great news not only for *GT* fans, but gearhead gamers of any flag. *Gran Turismo Sport* is set to release sometime this year on PlayStation 4.
