Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[Doncarlone]

I seriously hope PD doesn't skip this month, because last month was a very nice month to me in terms of credits from dailly tickets.

I don’t understand why it would be exciting to get a 488, M8, whatever with the same tedious events on the same tedious circuits. The game needs more than new cars.

You mean ... ? your afternoon or Kaz's ??? 🤔

 

[Interstellar9]

Have a feeling we won't get a new update this month but in early July and then the next in late August.

Had the same assumption. Was told I was wrong by people who would know.
Yay.

Could be that silhouttes drops early next week instead, the latest 2 months silhouttes has drop like monday or tuesday, its been later ever since kaz mad sound clips through silhouttes. I keep my fingers crossed for a silhoutte of Ferrari 812 superfast 😊

I think it would be better with this:

Ferrari 12Cilindri (812 Superfast Succesor)

https://www.motor1.com/news/718292/ferrari-12cilindri-supercar-horsepower/ The 6.5-liter, 65-degree unit is the latest evolution of Ferrari’s F140 V-12, first used in the Enzo two decades ago. Here, it makes 819 naturally aspirated horsepower at 9,250 rpm and 500 pound-feet of torque...

I hope it will be 488 GTE. We already have Ford GT and 911 RSR it would fit perfectly.

ACC and Forza already has this...
I don't understand why GT can't get this....??
Are they still working on the details of the tire valve cap ?

Oh PD can get it for sure but they got own priorities/time + they need the real car to scan which adds more roadblocks

Not to mention that modeling cars (unless outsourced) would take nine months.

 

[CTznOfTime]

How did the other Game developers did it so fast ? Based on Cad models ?

Does PD have to go into the woods, get lost, then find their way back out before they can add a new car that others already done .
It's sad Watching water drip drop

Different methods other than CAD such as photography or 3D laser scanning.

PD's way of doing things needs its own National Geography documentary, even if the KAZ documentary already exists

I agree that we need more, but i really want the 488. We need a new gr.3 ferrari, 458 is ancient...

... but to be fair i just want the 488 because i have the 488 thrustmaster add-on

Totally get that and agree…but the thought of taking the 488 around another Le Mans event makes me want to pull my fingernails out. The experience will be so minimally different.

A 488 on Gilles Villeneuve or Motegi…as part of a new series however…sign me up!

The actual answer to this is priorities. If you look at the DLC for other games, they pretty much all laser focus on modern cars. PD don't do that, they want good representation from across car history, so you'll get fewer modern cars here than in other series because the 2020s are just not as much of a focus for the series.

 

[GlamFM]

Apples and oranges.
PD’s car models are on a whole different level.

Does GT need the newest one? Why skipping important generation of cars just to pursue the newest one. I love 488GTE/GT3, I would rather had this one before 296 will be.

And Kunos is focusing only on GT cars right now. PD need to make much wider scope of cars from all eras and both road cars and racing cars.

Fully agreed, though I would indeed prefer the newer 296 GT3 when it comes to a new Gr.3 entry for Ferrari. But at the same time, I'd be down for some classic racers that would go into the current groups, like how various GT300-spec cars that have ~300HP could go into Gr.4, like the Mitsubishi FTO or the Toyota MR-S.

Meanwhile, the newer ones with about 400HP - like the Lexus LC500 - could join the Subaru BRZ in Gr.3. Heck, the BRZ and LC500 even raced alongside each other in the same class and the same season, in 2021.

EDIT: Also, I bet the N24-spec Lexus LFA could serve as an additional Gr.4 entry for Lexus, too.

EDIT2: Plus, I could totally see Maserati joining the Manufacturers Series with the MC20 GT2 and a Gr.4-spec version of the newer GranTurismo. They could even have a second Gr.3 option with the older, GT1-spec MC12.

I get that. I have been around playing GT long enough I know Kaz philosophy on things.

BUT for once, can't we have the latest cars now "lump sum" NOW (did I say now yet?) once and for all, so that GT can be considered in the same universe and time as all other ?!?

PD needs to be all caught up once and for all.
Otherwise we will always be lagging behind other games and it is so frustrating !

Then after that, he can take his sweet time to go through his backlog of cars from the past, blasting all the must have and iconic cars....

But for once i want to feel that I don't have to be jealous of other titles or yearn for the cars I should be driving now, instead of having to wait until 2035 to drive cars from 2020...

Edit:
Unless it is Kaz strategy to only sell us Legendary cars at higher prices so he can meke us grind for longer....

I always thought that car is too powerful for Gr.4, but then real-life GT4 racing has a horsepower creep problem.

But by the time we get all your 'latest cars' into the game, they'll inevitably be outdated too. I'd rather PD keep focusing on culturally/historically relevant models instead of just whatever's new.

If I recall correctly, in real life the Ferrari 488 could be turned into either its GT3 or GTE spec with a bolt-on kit, which is one reason why it was so popular to use in WEC back in the day.

If a 488 racecar ends up being added, I wonder if it will have different aero parts in GT Auto to achieve the same thing as the real car.

The Audi R8 LMS Evo has something similar already, where you can change it to Evo 2 spec with GT Auto aero parts.

I wish more race cars had those unique parts

Worth noting :

Aston Martin Vantage GT3 / GTE was the same, it could change on the fly like 488. So another car that I’d like to see in GT7 to replace the really old 2012 spec…with either GTE or GT3 spec areo.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I think it was software that turned GTE cars to GT3 cars.

 

[MXR_Sparky]

I think it was software that turned GTE cars to GT3 cars.

Don’t think so. The rear diffusers on GTE’s was bigger iirc and the wing height was also different to GT3’s.

Edit - software does play apart, but there’s also lots of different aero differences between a GTE & GT3. Plus, brakes are different too.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Wish we'd get the LMP2 chassis.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I wish we'd get the field of view range that Forza Motorsport has. I can drive the Porsche 963 in Forza using cockpit view. I have to use roof cam with the Toyota GR010 in GT.

There’s a (costly) solution for that. It’s right there under my name
