Gran Turismo 7 April 2026 Update: Renault Twingo, Porsche 964 Turbo S, Yangwang U9, Power Pack Changes, Reverse 'Ring Circuit Experience

[Lomic]

Do they drop on friday like the regular weeklies? I see no sign of it anywhere.

Probably.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.69 Now Available: More Power Pack Changes & Nurburgring Reverse Circuit Experience​

Gran Turismo 7 continues to evolve, with a new content update available today that brings not only new cars from across the automotive spectrum but a handful of some pretty esoteric changes to the title too...

 

[effenberg]

Has anybody seen anything about BoP changes?

Really goes against all my predictions 🤔

 

[GTboyz]

And here you go

Damn you're a legend

I wish we still had the text guide for Circuit Experiences that GT Sport's version of the mode had, where it would talk about the sector.

I'm very curious how it would have tried to explain the reverse Nordschleife.

Yeah, I'd like that too, alongside the option to turn on immersive cones instead of a racing line (another cool feature from GT Sport missing in GT7).

Can anyone check if Sophy's been nerfed again? I'm in the office and won't be back home for another 6 hours.

 

[Mark0994C7R]

Is this the Twingo's first appearance in a racing game?

Love to see it.

Yeah

IGCD.net - Internet Game Cars Database

This is the first licensed Twingo in any game

The Twingo sweet spot for serious racing is gonna be between 600PP and 700PP sports tires and racing tires respectively; right now just engine swapped, sports soft tires, racing flywheel and racing suspension (stock settings) only it sits evenly at 599PP, and beating my Elantra 600PP tune by a full second. Again no fine tuning at all, only wide body, the simple rear lip spoiler, 14 inch wheels, and the mentioned above mods. Doesn’t even need weight reduction.

This is gonna be fun!!!

 

[RACECAR]

If I can recreate that, this is gonna be me

Where are the new Power Pack races?

Waiting for midnight on Friday morning to arrive:

 

[Gingerale]

Love to see it.

It was actually released as a mod in AC just yesterday. But first official appearance probably

 

[Resna777]

I love how the unmodified Porsche top speed is 190mph and the Yangwang is also 190mph. I was expecting more from the hypercar but it’s awesome to see how great the old school Porsche performs!

 

[IngRobNy]

😯😀 Holy Moly!

 

[mistakenplane]

The Schwarzwald League race at Montreal is disappointing. A pure catch the leader contest with no actual racing to be had, just need to treat other cars like mobile chicanes.

 

[snc]

Twingo interior in vr looks amazing 😅 Nice touch U9 shows current track in center display.

 

[BlinkerFluid]

Excited to mess around with the swaps

 

[Nakano219]

Does anyone know what they changed with the exterior of the 400R?

The RX-7 changes are obvious (if you have a non-red one, the "RX-7" badge on the back is now red) but my eye isn't sharp enough to spot the 400R's change.

The taillights (Not all of them turned on) now they are fixed.

To save me looking through 3,300 Scapes, can anyone spot what location this was shot? I can't find a clean, non-PS-branded image and don't like it

 

[ZAPPADIETRO]

In german „leicht blau“ could also mean that you are slightly drunk🍻😉

 

[kjb]

This is interesting update at least in terms of the engine swaps. The 10 million engine is pretty steep might to do that one for awhile. I haven't played Gt7 in a couple weeks because FH5 has been taking all my time. I can't wait to try the swapped Twingo, Kangoo. The Porsche and the U9 should be fun as well.

 

[benjoi84]

Silly me for wondering what I could spend my 40 million credits on

 

[Vule]

Holy moly, the reverse CE, I've never driven this layout, ever, it took me quite some time to get the hang of the individual sectors, but when it was time do to the full lap, oh my Absolutely no idea where I was going, where to brake, when to turn, how much throttle to apply, I desperately needed a rally co-driver to give me directions In the end, the only lap I finished somehow was 7:58, gold time is 8:04, but I left like 10 seconds on the table...

Gemini says that "The specific Scapes location used for this shot is one of the new additions included in this patch, found within the "Move the Camera Up and Down III" featured collection." But I didn't check.
edit: AI error, I think.

 

[Pie O My]

Great that you can now experience a version of Sophy with your own cars on tracks you couldn't before (and still can't) with custom races.

This is how I feel going in the proper direction, even after many many laps. I just have a memory block with this circuit.

[Childe Roland]

Well, I couldn´t confirm yet on the past posts if the most important feature of this update is deployed.
Can the U9 jump with the overtake button?

Like most races in the game, then.
