Sony’s Gran Turismo movie is set to be released on August 11th this year. The movie tells the inspiring story of Jann Mardenborough, a British racing driver who kickstarted his career through playing racing video games. If you’re a fan of the movie and want to delve deeper into the Gran Turismo experience, you have the opportunity to purchase one of the cars that were used for filming. The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3, displayed in the gallery below, is not merely a movie star – it has an interesting background.

This particular car previously belonged to Darren Cox, the creator of the GT Academy, the competition upon which the movie is based. The GT-R plays a significant role in the film and is central to Mardenborough’s success story, portrayed by Archie Madekwe. Mardenborough even performed some stunts in Gran Turismo and drove the car, just as he did in real life.
