Gran Turismo 4 Toyota Prius Edition

Gran Turismo 4 Toyota Prius Trial Edition (in Japan) also known as Gran Turismo Special Edition: Toyota Demo (New York Version) (in the USA) or Gran Turismo Special Edition: Geneva Version is a racing game in the Gran Turismo series for the PlayStation 2 which is published by Polyphony Digital.
All versions state they are demo samples with a warning message upon loading.
The Toyota Prius Trial Edition is one of the few cut down versions of the games that focuses on a single car or brand. This edition being a cut down version of Gran Turismo 4 Prologue. This edition focusing on exclusively the Toyota Prius G Touring Selection '03 and the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car '04.
There is no intro movie only the demo sample text, the loading screen logos/cycling icon and the title screen.
The demo has three idle replays it cycles between, one of the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car on Grand Canyon, another of the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car on Fuji Speedway 90s, with the third being a one make Prius race on Fuji Speedway 90s (which the demo only allows single car driving as there are no opponents in this demo compared to other manufacturer demos).
The title screen cycles between parts of New York (higher build view), Grand Canyon, a jump back to New York with a second view at street level with cars going down the straight street before the first corner, then cars on Tsukuba at the Dunlop Arch. These cycle twice before going to an idle replay.
==Differences==
The only two available cars in this manufacturer demo are the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car.
There are only two tracks available in this demo those being Grand Canyon (with an altered road portion of the forward version of the track) and Fuji Speedway 90s.
The Prius can not be used on the Grand Canyon track, while in the full release the the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car cannot be used on rally tracks it can be used on the road altered version of Grand Canyon. While this version of the track has the road as the intended key part for the player to test the car with, the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car can be driven on the rest of the track.
Settings menu is similar or the exact same settings as Gran Turismo 4 Prologue.
The Heads Up Displays (HUDs) vary per car. The Prius has the hybrid electric and fuel combination of it using electricity or not (green or yellow and the arrows showing the state the car is in of acceleration, braking or idle but conserving energy) while the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car has a HUD for it's wheels with blue or orange bars depending on use case.
==US New York Build==
*Only the Prius and Toyota Motor Triathlon Car are present.
*The drives around both courses have a 120 second time limit. The time limit appears during the countdown.
*The Grand Canyon track has a road portion at the beginning that cuts off around 1/4 of the track, this road is not present in any other releases with the Grand Canyon present as it is always the all dirt version of the track. (Gran Turismo 4 Prologue, Gran Turismo 4 or Gran Turismo PSP).
*When the player selects a car they can change the Transmission (Auto/Manual), VSC (On or Off) and Tires (Street, Sports, Arcade, Racing with Racing greyed out and not an available option to select) are available to be selected before confirming to start their drive on the selected track.
*Only the Prius is unavailable to drive on the Grand Canyon track.
*Has a unique Toyota Motor Triathlon Car HUD with 4 bars and different colours of blue, orange and red to determine the speed, braking, steering of the vehicle.
*This build only has Grand Canyon and Fuji Speedway 90s ( Prius one make race and Toyota Motor Triathlon Car 1 lap run) idle replays. The Grand Canyon idle replay has the player in the recorded footage not drive it correctly and hit walls constantly leaving the replay with no complete lap of the track. Which as Grand Canyon is present in Gran Turismo 4 Prologue (other the road portion only present in these Toyota demos) it is unclear if the AI has difficulty path finding the track or the player that drove in the saved replay just had difficulty with the car/physics.
==Geneva Build==
Differences WIP
*Units are BHP and KG (metric) then HP and ft.lb (Imperial). There is no units selection option in the settings.
*The same tracks, cars and colours are available as other demo versions.
*There is a 120 second time limit. But the time limit appears immediately on screen rather than after track logo and during count down.
*Loading screen is a blue spinning loading icon then white like the final release, the logo/Blue and Red are the same above the spinning loading icon.
*During the car selection screen, once the player has selected a vehicle Transmission (Auto/Manual), Driving Assists (On or Off) and Tires (Street, Sports, Arcade, Racing with Racing greyed out and not an available option to select) are available to be selected before confirming to start the drive.
*Only the Prius is unavailable to drive on the Grand Canyon track.
*Unlike the New York Version this version has the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car HUD (Speed, Gears, RPM, etc.) similar to other cars rather than the more unique display the New York Version offers. The Prius however does still have the Fuel/EV HUD. This could have been done due to visibility or use cases for presenting the information. Meaning the New York version HUD is unique to that version of the Toyota one make builds or Gran Turismo 4 Prologue/Gran Turismo 4 full release uses of the car.
*The Geneva version has Citta di Aria as a unique idle replay.
*This version has some unique idle replays not present in the New York version. While the Prius on Fuji Speedway 90s idle replay is present. New ones like the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car on Citta di Aria are also available. The idle replays are strange as the New York version with the driver in the replays keeps the hitting walls constantly, over-speeding and never finishing a lap of Grand Canyon or Citta di Aria in the Toyota Motor Triathlon Car (while on Fuji Speedway 90s with the all Prius opponents/one make race they do complete a lap). It was unclear if recorded/saved replays were played by visitors, AI that had difficulty path finding the track or by developers as they don't look like testing of speed or wall collisions let alone the cars not understanding the layout of the tracks. As if that were the case it would be demonstrated with a better Grand Canyon lap by the developers which it doesn't. It's just awkward driving of the vehicle on both a track present in the demo and Gran Turismo 4 Prologue itself, while Citta di Aria while present in Gran Turismo 4 Prologue is not present in any of the Toyota Prius/ Toyota Motor Triathlon Car manufacturer demos.
