We’re skeptical Polyphony Digital will ever release the actual Gran Turismo 5, sort of like Duke Nukem Forever, but Mercedes has released these images and claimed their exotic Mercedes SLS AMG Gullwing will be included in the game. We’ll see.

One customer found when he hit an animal with his GT500KR how pricey it’s snout is: hood $18,400; hood pins $632; front spoiler $3392. Shelby’s since offered an interesting explanation — and lowered those prices. Here’s what happened.
According to Shelby, their carbon-fiber hood is the only CF hood in regular production (we’re guessing the ZR-1’s polycarbonate panel disqualifies it from consideration?) and that all the required federal testing and so on adds to the cost. Also, evidently, keeping the prices high — and demanding all damaged KR parts be returned before new parts are shipped — prevents just anyone from slapping a KR hood or other parts on their base Mustang.
Whatever their rationale, the fan forums went understandably nuts. In response, the price of the hood will be reduced to $9,700 and Shelby is reconsidering the prices of other carbon-fiber components. We love the KR, but that still seems like a lot of money for Ford parts.

Here’s the sound of Ford’s new 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, or at least in the clip’s second half. The first half’s also the new diesel, but without the two pilot injections. That’s why it sounds like an old 7.3-liter diesel.
The new engine can inject fuel up to five times per stroke. There’s two pilot injections to quiet the engine that also help prepare for the main (third) injection. After the main injection, two more injections can be added as needed. The first for a little extra torque and the second — on the far end — for kicking off the diesel emissions catalysts.
The result? It’s one quiet, quiet diesel engine.
