Gran Turismo 7 September 2025/1.63 Update Prediction Thread

[MrHorsepower]

When I saw the announcement of Opel's return, I thought we'd get the Corsa GSE VGT in the Viewer's campaign like the Hyundai. So there goes my prediction if we get a September update:
4 cars:

• Corsa GSE VGT.
• A car from the 2017-2020 period which is not listed in the datamine (could be the AMG G wagon or BMW M4 G series as seen in London or something different) I can't discard getting something newer from McLaren (600LT or 720s) but that enters the wishlist realms.
• Following the recent trend, something quirky like the Autozam Az1 (datamine) or French like the electric Alpine based on the new Renault 5.
• A returning car from older games to fill generational gaps.

No new track, extra menu (although I would love to see one about GM concepts including the 50's corvette racer, the VGT Chaparral an one of the VGT corvettes) and we'll get some scapes.

Expect the usual 4 cars but this time with newly designed cars, and it's true we've already had a fair number of SUVs.
I also include a historic Italian car such as the Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione as it is quite rare!.

Citroen C4 "25"

Ford Puma ST Hybrid "25"

Here goes nothing....



Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo - This is basically guaranteed to come in the next update.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio '18 - The SUV/CUV of the update. Not much to say.

Honda S2000 (AP2) '06 - I was going to predict a Mazda for the update, but I don't want to repeat the prediction I did last update. Instead, I will be boring and predict we will get a returning "duplicate".

Toyota Celica 1600GT (TA22) '70 - If we do get a fourth car in the update (which I doubt it will be the case), I expect a car from the Datamine List. Also, the last Toyota we got was the C-HR back in January...



I wouldn't be surprised if the update came in October instead. Either way, I also expect the following:

• No new track/layout;
• 4 new events, 1 for each car. We should be getting a new VGT Trophy Event, unlike the previous update with the Chevy VGT;
• 5 new engine swaps, which is the standard amount.

I have no clue, but I think it's time for the Xiaomi.

I think it might come in October, as this month we're most likely going to get the Corsa GSE.

I feel inclined to say that since we've already got a generally larger vehicle from both Peugeot and Renault lately, I think Citroen could be next, and/or DS Automobiles. Especially since the latter only has the DS3 at the moment. Not sure if I'd discount the new Alpine A290, either, as far as relatively larger French machines go. Or, we could get something relatively different, being a larger vehicle not from Japan nor France, like the Ferrari Purosangue, or a version of the Aston Martin DBX. I wouldn't even discount the idea of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk - the one that came with the Hellcat engine!

But beyond that? I think the Opel VGT could be coming either in this update or in October, with the Xiaomi coming roughly around the same time. (Or at least surely by the end of 2025.) Almost anything seems possible. Maybe even a Spec III with a new seven vehicles and a new mission set - it's almost anybody's guess.

Given the lack of teased content for after Berlin, I'm minded to think there's not a September update at all. We've had a good recent run (only three longer spells of consecutive months with updates in GT7's life - 9-5-2-1-5-1-2-3-4 - averaging out at 3.5 months between breaks) so it wouldn't be a surprise to see September skipped, and the more vague "autumn" for the Opel is a 🤔

Should September bring an update, I'd probably expect the Opel, and I'd think we'd be on a three-car month again. Given that it's a high-performance machine, it'll probably fill that slot, so we'd be looking at quirky and CUV as the other two.

1. Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo '25

Returning cars have become less frequent. 2025's seven updates have had four with and three without - for a total of four cars (BMW Z4, Corvette C5, Lancia Delta WRC, Renault Avantime) - and we've only had two in a row once. We've had 19 BC cars, 3 UC-only, and 2 Legends, five of the updates have been among the least-expensive dozen (and two were the least and third-least expensive), we had a US slump-buster last time out but it's still 11:10 for Asia/Europe (3 USA), and 20:4:1 for road/race/tuned.

That all means new (model year and to-game) Europe/Asia are most likely, so I'm not going to say a classic kei car no matter how much I personally desire the AZ-1

I'm suuuuuper tempted to say that Smart is having a bit of a PR push at the moment, and is still largely Mercedes-owned, so bringing a third-gen (2014-2024) ForTwo for quirky and a new #5 (literally pronounced "Hashtag Five") for CUV would be an interesting and not thoroughly implausible move.

But a Japanese CUV and a new kei car or something old and weird and unpredictable (it's been two updates since the last Legends; we've only gone without twice before) seem more likely. All the usual suspects for the CUVs have gone now I think, except maybe a Mitsubishi; the Outlander PHEV might suit. Alternatively a Lexus perhaps, and I'm going to say the UX300e because my wife has one

If slot three is new/quirky it's gonst to be a new kei and I still like Daihatsu Tanto FunCross Turbo AWD/Subaru Chiffon Custom R SA 4WD. I can barely think of a single old/weird Japanese car we've never had in a GT game before so - in lieu of the Autozam AZ-1 - let's say the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ-1

2. Lexus UX300e '23
3. Daihatsu Tanto FunCross Turbo AWD '22/Subaru Chiffon Custom R SA 4WD '22/Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ-1 '89

No tracks, obviously.

Please no Jesus.

I agree on september being skipped
