There are notable differences between the Grand Touring Prototypes (GTP) from Acura, BMW, Cadillac, and Porsche, including chassis, engines, software engineering, and styling. However, these differences are not as significant as initially expected, due to regulations confining their design within a relatively narrow range. The biggest contrasts lie in the software and driver interface, as each manufacturer has their own approach. Additionally, the location and functionality of instruments and controls within the cockpit vary. During the DPi era, certain makes were known for their specific strengths, but the differences in GTP cars are more subtle and no make has demonstrated a preference for a particular type of track yet. The Acura was praised for its stability and solid entry into corners, while the Cadillac excelled in traction and smooth exits. The manufacturers also use similar tools, but their usage and preferences vary.
