GT fans! For the last few weeks, many of you visited www.gt6firstlove.com and shared your incredible First Love stories and also helped rebuild Andretti’s first race car that started his entire career, the 1948 Hudson.

Well the moment is finally here as Chapter 3 “The Reunion” video captures the magical moment when Mario Andretti sees and drives the rebuilt Hudson for the first time in over 50 years. Without giving too much of the spoilers away, the video also shows the intricate and detailed process that Polyphony Digital goes through in recreating the classic Hudson into GT6, including data capturing, 3D scanning, and sound recording of the engine at all ranges of the RPM. Following this, Mr. Andretti himself relives his First Love driving experience in the rebuild Hudson.

To properly celebrate the collaboration between Mario Andretti and Gran Turismo, a unique Special Event featuring the 1948 Hudson is available in GT6 from today, 12/19 to 01/17. The 1948 Hudson Superlap challenge will take place on Willow Springs International Raceway “Streets of Willow”, giving players the opportunity to be rewarded with the legendary race car upon conquering set lap times above a Bronze Trophy target Players will also have the option to purchase the legendary Hudson through the Car Dealership if they so choose.

“Gran Tursimo is a legendary franchise with gamers and car enthusiasts which makes it a perfect fit,” explains the legendary race car driver, Mario Andretti. "Racing has been my lifelong passion and gave me an incredible career. When we first started discussing the 'GT6 First Love Campaign,' it brought back memories of some of the most defining moments of my life and I’m so pleased to share them with GT fans. PlayStation gave me the opportunity to remember my ‘first love’ and to revisit what it felt like to be a young man taking that old Hudson around the track. I’m really happy fans are enjoying my story and sharing stories about their own first loves.
