Below are the full patch notes of update 1.09 for Gran Turismo 6 (Gran Turismo):
Vision Gran Turismo
The "Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo" has been released. Experience the dynamic all wheel drive supercar that inherits the DNA of the Volkswagen sports GTI philosophy.
After the update has been installed, the car can be purchased from the [Vision GT] option within the [CARS] section in "My Home." Alternatively, it is also possible to obtain the car by completing a lap (regardless of the lap time) in the new Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time.
The "Volkswagen Vision GT" racing gear has been added to the [Special Outfit] of [Racing Gear]. This can also be acquired through the limited time seasonal event.
Red Bull Ring
The full course and short track layouts of the Red Bull Ring has been added as new tracks to the game.
This is an ultra high speed circuit with long flat out sections, but there are tricky tight corners in between. How you handle these tight turns will greatly affect your final lap times. In 2014, Formula 1 racing returned to this track after an 11 year hiatus; the circuit truly brings together the best of the old and the new.
Additional Cars
The following cars have been added to the [Dealerships]. You can also access the cars easily from the [Recommended Cars] section:
- GT-R NISMO GT3 Nissan GT Academy Team RJN '13
- Lexus IS F CCS-R '11
- Toyota TS030 Hybrid '12

The default settings of tuning parts have also been adjusted to match this update.
