Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced that Gran Turismo 5 will be released for PlayStation 3 in March 2010 in Japan.

The game will feature 20 locations with over 70 tracks, full "Gran Turismo" mode for single-player and multiplayer, and some form of communication with the PSP.

Speaking at the Tokyo Game Show, developer Polyphony also confirmed some of the details that leaked onto its website a while ago - like video exports to PSP and YouTube, and hybrid and electric cars.

Those website leaks also told us to expect 1000 vehicles, 170 of which will have full interior modelling. Sony hasn't refuted any of the details.
