A build of Gran Turismo HD Concept demoed during 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans featuring two cars: the Audi R8 '07 and the Audi TT Coupe 3.2 quattro '07, as well as two tracks: Circuit de la Sarthe and Eiger Short. This demo features Shell branding on the title screen and XMB image, possibly as they were Audi's Le Mans sponsor and motor oil partner at the time, although their involvement were not mentioned in the official press release (Japanese). This build is the last one that resembles and uses the GT4/GTHD UIs as the GT5P Free Trial Version was released to the public four months later.
This build, compiled on June 11, 2007 (just a day before the press release was posted) is heavily based on the retail version of GTHD, but in process of transitioning to GT5P, strays further away from GT4 as a whole. For instance, the script folder has been renamed to scripts and scripts/gt5 is now in use. Internally, no other cars are present. The courses folder contains c042 (r_eiger_short), c049 (sarthe2005_old) and interestingly, c056, which would later on become sarthe2009 in GT5. Some odd keylog files are also present in the projects/trial/trial folder, never seen in any other builds, not files actually used by the game.
The build was discovered on a DECHA00A devkit by sneakersdiep in March 2026 and was dumped three months later. Nothing else was installed on the hard drive, leading to the assumption that this devkit was only used for this very event.
