I originally was going to predict cars for the prediction thread, but I did abit of looking and decided to do something different that was more suitable for this thread. So what I have put together is a selection of cars that potentially may end up in the game based on 4 criteria:
Counterparts: Briefly mentioned in another thread, there's been a notable pattern of PD to include cars that are counterparts of their Road-going model or the Racing model. Examples include the Toyota Celica ST205, the 2017 Nissan GT-R Nismo being joined by the 2018 Nissan GT-R GT3 Nismo and the most recent example being the Mazda3 X Burgundy selection being joined by the Mazda3 GR.4 car (Which is technically the Bio Concept car from Super Taikyu).
History: Basically, either series favorites that are pretty much permanently linked to the series (As demonstrated with the Castrol Supra, the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R and the Peaks Peak Escudo) or newer models joining based on previous other models over series history (The GT500 cars for instance).
New GR.3 or GR.4 contender: A newer car choice for the Manufacturers series in either category for current Manufacturers or potentially for new Manufacturers joining in.
Latest Marketed or Highly Significant Models: As is constantly demonstrated with Toyota and most recently Honda, cars that are essentially one of the latest cars either from a Manufacturers Series Partner or a Manufacturer that has deep connections with PD or even a model that has potential significance (Championship winner, race winner or even a final edition).
So based on these 4 specific criteria, here's a list of cars that I think have a reasonable or solid chance of coming to GT7 in a Future Update:
Alpine A110 GT4 '18: With the Premiere Edition Road car returning from GT Sport and Group Renault really pushing this brand (Perhaps
even abit over optimistically in some cases), this GT4 car would serve as Alpine's entry into the GR.4 category and could potentially even lead to eventual GR.3 entry too (even if its more likely to be a fictional creation by PD).
Audi R8 '20: The 2019 GT3 Evo is already present AND the road car is essentially a facelift based off said model AND its the final version of the R8. Potentially offers the GT Auto bonus of recreating the GT4 car just as the Mercedes AMG GT R, Ford Mustang GT350R and the Chevy Camaro ZL1 does.
BMW M6 '16: Abit out of the blue admittingly considering its hardly featured in any sim as anything other then its GT3 form but if the Porsche Caymen GT4 from the same model year is anything to go by, it could be possible.
BMW V12 LMR '99: Another out of leftfield choice but here's a interesting thing I noticed: Every time this car has seemingly appeared in a sim, its usually joined by the BMW Mclaren F1 GTR and one of BMW's M3 GT cars (Either the M3 E46 GTR or the M3 E92 GT). We already have two of those in-game at launch so there is potential for this GT5/GT6 combo to be complete. And for added suspense (if you want), the in-game cafe description for the BMW Mclaren F1 GTR appears to end on quite a teasing cliff hanger
Chevy Camaro Race Car '69: Now this could go in two directions should it happen, an actual liveried car (Perhaps the Sunoco Camaro of Roger Penske) OR the return of the Camaro Racing Modification from GT5/6 as the Honda Civic Type R (EK) Touring Car did. Either way, there already exists the Road car in-game and as indicated with the Celica, Counterpart cars aren't exclusive to the modern era.
Chevy Corvette C8.R '20: Its road going counterpart of the same year is already in the game AND Chevy is well overdue for a new GR.3 Competitor. Ironically due to it racing against both GTE AND GT3 cars in real life (Albeit with some modifications), its technically THE most suitable car for GR.3 since it features both.
Dodge Viper GTS-R '00: Not only does it have previous history of being in previous games but just as the Toyota Celica Rally, it already has its production based counterpart in-game.
Ford GT40 Race Car '69: Not only is the 1966 Road car present, but this car has been present in the game since Gran Turismo 2 (Usually alongside the 1966 Road car interestingly in 3 of those 5 appearances) so there's potential for this pairing to happen again.
Honda Civic Type R TCR ('18 or '23): Now this would be an interesting situation as the road going counterpart for both exist in the game. This means that Honda's potential new GR.4 choice could either be the FK8 based one from 2017 or the FL5 based one from 2023 (which makes it a currently marketed model). So not only is there a chance for the game to get its first official TCR car, but it'll be an intriguing wait to see which one ends up getting the nod.
Honda NSX Type S '22: This is pretty much the final iteration of this generation of NSX and I imagine Honda would love for this to get as much attention as possible.
Honda NSX-GT '22: No longer a concept and based on the aforementioned NSX Type S, this would also continue PD's Tradition of featuring the latest GT500 model from at least one of the big 3 Super GT Makes in every numbered game regardless of which team livery it takes on. This also greatly differs from the 2016 car in that despite its appearance, its actually a Front-engine NSX as part of the regs that disallows Mid-engine cars.
Honda NSX GT3 Evo22 '22: With Nissan having a new GR.3 contender (Technically 2 if you count the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R) as well as Manufacturer partner Toyota and their 86/BRZ partner Subaru, seems only natural to do the same for Honda and with not having a real NSX race car no longer a problem, Along comes this car to potentially sit alongside one of the Civic Type R TCRs as a new choice for the Manufacturers Series.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car '99: With the Tommi Makkinen Edition that is based on it already in-game as well as it also being a car that has been present since Gran Turismo 2, this presents exactly the same situation that the Toyota Celica GT-Four does for it to potentially happen.
Nissan Motul Autech Z '22: As is the case with the NSX-GT, this would effectively be the most recent Super GT Model for one of the big 3 in that series (and in traditional fashion, in the livery of the Factory Nissan team). It also already has the road car in the game since launch as well.
Nissan Z GT4 '22: In addition to again having the Road model already present, this also could serve as a more recent GR.4 alternative for representing Nissan alongside the Nissan GT R GT3 Nismo '18 in the Manufacturers Series.
Pagani Huayra R '2021: Granted its only been since GT6 that PD has included a entirely new Pagani model that wasn't just the Zondas from the PS2 generation but with the previous Zonda R in the game and the base model Huayra already present, I think there could be a chance to see this latest R model be included.
Porsche 911 GT1 Evo '97: Most will expect this solely based on the tweet that mentions it was scanned by PD (as well as the Gran Turismo sponsorship obviously). I'm going purely off the road going model already in-game and the fact that this is one of several cars PD has tried to get before back then when they were far smaller during GT2's development (Same goes for several cars, including funny enough the aforementioned Paganis). It would be a case of "Finally" should it happen as it was with the F1, The Pagani Zondas and of course the eventual inclusion of Lamborghini and Ferrari and Porsche themselves (Officially of course)
Subaru Impreza Rally Car '99: As is the case with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI and demonstrated with the Toyota Celica, A road going model is already in game AND it shares a history of being in every numbered title since Gran Turismo 2 with the Lancer so it could be possible to finally see a premium model of this car outside demo builds of GTHD.
Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 '22: A WRC championship winning car for adding to GR.B AND there is already the Road car that has been there since launch. I don't see the Toyota Marketing train stopping anytime soon (Especially as an official partner) so maybe this'll be another major choice.
Toyota AU TOM'S GR Supra '22: As would be the case with its fellow GT500 competitors, it would keep with having the latest car from Super GT in a number GT game as well as be the current iteration of a Supra fielded by TOM's (A fitting addition to go alongside the original Castrol TOM'S Supra). And of course the road going Supra is there too so there is that.
Toyota GR Supra GT4 '20: Weirdly despite this being a Toyota AND them being very prolific with including the latest vehicles from them in GT, I both could see this happening but also wouldn't be surprised for it to not happen since the GR Supra GR.4 car exists. So there's a chance but likely the smallest of the list despite meeting both criteria of being a heavily marketed car AND having a road car in the form of the actual 2020 model in-game.
So that's my thoughts. May add more or do something similar with Tracks, though that might be trickier.
Edit: And what exactly is your issue
