The game features concept cars, prototypes, and production models that were unveiled at major international auto shows in 2001 and 2002. This includes wild designs from manufacturers like Nissan, Toyota, and Ford that rarely appeared in standard racing games.

The game saw different regional releases, including 'Gran Turismo Concept: 2001 Tokyo', '2002 Tokyo-Seoul', and '2002 Tokyo-Geneva'. Each version featured cars specifically targeted at the motor shows in those respective locations.
