The black cars at Mid-Field Raceway. (This image has been retouched to feature all four cars in a parked position.)
The "Black Cars" are a group of four secret prototype race cars featured in Gran Turismo 4 during days 694-700 of the calendar cycle. They are all painted, instead of in team liveries, in black. If the player decides to buy all four race cars, a total of 8,299,978 Credits is required.
The "black vehicle" concept is reused in Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo 6, and Gran Turismo 7 with the Stealth Model vehicle series.

Trivia[]
- It is possible, although very rare, to encounter the AI using the black cars. They are usually encountered during Arcade mode. More often than not, they primarily use the black Nissan R92CP. Encountering two black cars in one race is possible if one is lucky enough.
- The Formula Gran Turismo is awarded in black (with the Formula Gran Turismo logo on the sidepod) for achieving 100% completion of the game, while in the NTSC-J version of the game, it can be won by winning the Formula GT World Championship.
- After day 700 these cars are available by going through the 700 day cycle again and the cars will reappear again.
- It is possible to use the black cars in arcade mode. by adding one car with multiple colours onto the favourite list and then add one of the models of the black cars onto the favourites list. then move the cursor onto the model with multiple colours, then quickly move the cursor onto the model of the black car and select it. After that the black colour scheme should be available.
