"My First Screenshot from Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4. Using the game's "Scapes" mode I took a picture of 3 of my Japanese Cars in their native region. The picture is of a section of the city of Tokyo, Japan known as Akihabara (or "Akiba" for short), An area not only known for it's technology and idol music band AKB48, but is also claimed as the "Anime Capital of the World".

The one to the right is the Japan-Spec 2016 Mazda Roadster (known as the MX-5 in Europe and Miata in N.America), a small convertible that also is powered by a small 1.5L (114hp) or 2.0L (155hp) "SkyActiv-G" Inline 4s (2.0L equipped in this car) with either a 6-spd auto or 6-spd manual. This car also has shared it's underpinnings with the FIAT 124 Spider.

The one next to it is the 2015 Mazda Atenza (known as the Mazda 6 outside Japan). This variation is the Japan-Exclusive XD (Sedan) L-Package, powered by Mazda's 2.2L (173hp) SkyActiv-D TurboDiesel Inline 4 mated to the same gearboxes shared by it's Roadster stablemate (with slightly different gear ratios to run optimally with the diesel's low-end torque).

The one in front of the Atenza is the 1997 Toyota MR2 GT-S, the 2nd generation mid-engined coupe powered by a 2.0L Turbo (242hp) "3S-GTE" Inline 4 mated to a 5-spd manual or 4-spd auto. This car was the top model from the SW20 platform (1989-1999) and was exclusive to Asia and Europe (as Americans lost the 2nd-generation MR2 in 1995)"
