An update was released this week for GT5: Prologue for the PS3 bringing with it some new gameplay elements and three new cars. One the gameplay side of things, Time Trial event speed penalties have been removed. Now, instead of getting a penalty, that whole lap doesn’t count. In Race events, the difficulty has been tweaked a bit and you get more cash for finishing in first place. A few other minor changes were made as well.

The big news is the new cars. The first of which is a “GT by Citroen” concept car. The actual car made its debut at the Paris Motor Show last week and you can see a video of it in action on GT TV in the game. Along with the concept car, you can now drive a Ferrari California and Lotus Evora. Good stuff. You can see screens of the Ferrari and Lotus after the jump.
