The Polyphony001 is a Formula One-styled car available in the PAL version of Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec. It is the PAL counterpart to the F094/S (based on the 1994 Williams FW16), but with a higher nose and restyled rear wing first used on the 1995 FW17. It is one of only two Formula One style cars in the PAL version, which are among the best in the game in terms of acceleration and grip.

Trivia[]
- This is the most modern of the F1 cars on both PAL and NTSC versions of the game.
- Presumably as an attempt to further conceal the car's actual identity, some logos that were present on the F094/S were either removed or replaced: the Polyphony logos that resembled the Rothmans logos found on the FW16 were removed, while the Goodyear logos, whose placement on the car's front wing matched the placement on the FW16's front wing, were replaced with fictional sponsor Takaton.
- Internally, the car is named "williams_fw16a", alluding to the base car, although Williams never used the "A" suffix to denote a first revision of their Formula One cars; the car was assigned with this internal name, as it used the F094/S' livery and physics data.
- Despite sharing the internal name with the F094/S, a leftover of the F094/S exists as a separate entity, which loads the body of a Daihatsu MIRA TR-XX Avanzato R '97. This leftover exists because the F094/S and Polyphony001 uses separate body codes.
- Like other F1 cars in GT3, it is unsuitable for super-high-speed events, such as Like the Wind or Professional Gran Turismo All Stars, as their top speed is around 220 mph. The opponents in these events have top speeds of 235+ mph.
