It’s a PS5 DualSense controller with a lot going on across it, but one thing’s for sure: it does evoke a Gran Turismo racing car and is sure to be popular with the series’ long-standing fans and PlayStation hardware collectors.
With racing car badges, racing stripes, and some unmistakably Gran Turismo motifs across the white and black carbon-fiber-effect chassis, this really does a great job of evoking the famous racing series that has spanned every PlayStation generation.
This controller will cost the usual $84.99 / £74.99, and pre-orders go live at 10am local time (ET in the US) tomorrow, October 22. It appears from the wording on the PS Blog that this will be a PlayStation Direct exclusive too, but we’re still including links to other retailers below, as well as other key info, as we set up our stall early.

Should you pre-order a Limited Edition Gran Turismo PS5 controller?
If you’re willing and able to do so, placing a pre-order is the safest bet for securing your product; there’s almost no scenario where it’s better to wait and see whether there’ll be discounts or launch-day stock if things go dry at the pre-order stage.
I also think it’s worth pre-ordering this limited edition Gran Turismo controller due to it being infused with one of the longest-running and most iconic PlayStation game series.
This means there’s going to be plenty of folks interested in this pad from both a ‘fan of the game’ perspective, but also those approaching from a collector’s perspective and those who want to celebrate PlayStation history.
