"will initially come with 30 cars and 2 tracks on the disc and have 30 more
cars and one more track downloadable. More downloads will be available over
time."

and the Classic edition

"is more of a 'rebuilding' of past GT assets in full HD along with added online
features. Eventually 770 cars, 51 tracks and 4,500 items will be downloadable
for GTHD Classic."

GTHD is scheduled for release in Mid 2007.
