Gran Turismo 7 Spec III Lands This December, Adds Two New Tracks, New Cars, and New Features

[newmedia_dev]

They are going to remove the legendary car delearship with spec 3.0? 👀👀👀

Where did you hear that?!

And what do you think will occupy that space where that sits or the real market tie ins with hargerty.

I just don’t see that based on anything.

Here's the tweet in question with the LCD seemingly unselectable:

We won't lost access to those cars, so logically, they will become available elsewhere. It's possible that if the Hagerty tie in has come to an end, they simply have removed that icon from this build whilst it's being rebranded in the game. It's also possible it's just not included in this build of the game for another reason but will be exactly as it is when Spec III launches.

Here's a thought, used legend cars? Maybe the new icon isn't ready yet or like @Dave_A says, the Hagerty branding is ending and the new icon isn't in yet.

That video showed the commentary bubble on the legends dealship.

So it was clearly accessible
?

They probably just moved the LCD logo on the "Power Pack" location so they didn't have to create a new one, it's quicker. This is just a quick sample to show were the new stuff is.

The commentary bubble is on a high collector level garage. The building changes as your car collection grows. The legends dealer has the blue flags outside the building, to the right of the garage.

Either it's a beta bug or possibly LCD is no more, and cars are just always available within their respective dealerships. Likely the former.

Hmmmm, interesting info about the power pack. That would be a nice feature of gt7.

Is this how they will "force" us to buy the powerpack by putting the LCD behind the pay wall?

They won't do that. If the LCD icon being gone means it's actually not in the game anymore, then the legend cars will be available another way.

Perhaps like GT4 where manufacturers had their own section for historic vehicles in addition to brand new ones.

That would be cool and would bring GT4 vibes (obviously lol).

 

[Lomic]

I think it is either a bug or a specificity of the build used for the video. I really don't think they will change anything regarding LCD.

Absolutely LOVE this feature. Will there be a feature again to upload data from a real word data logger like the last time we had it, I think in GT5?
I think this was both an extremely cool feature for those of us who take cars to track days, but also a great demonstration on how GT truly bridges the virtual and real driving, and producing similar lap times in the process. I guess it’s an extremely niche thing but it’s uniquely Gran turismo. Which other game can claim to have instrumentation on an iconic car like the GTR r35 made by its devs? We need more of this whimsical stuff. The devs are good at it, we love it. Sony should let them work on it!

ChatGT7?

Some people are still able to write coherent sentences, without needing a LLM.

At this point I am just champing at the bit to get the official drop date of Spec III. Yes, we're all speculating - with great confidence - it'll drop with the Power Pack on 12/4 but the official date has not been officially announced. I've got my finger on the vacation day for 12/4 with an itchy trigger finger.

KAZ!

In the DLC official promo we can see that both will be available together, so SPEC III has to be on 4th Dec.

There's actually conflicting information on this depending on which official promo you look at, which is why we didn't state it as a fact, but it very much does appear to be the case.

I took this picture from the video published on You Tube from official PlayStation account:

Yes, I know where it's from, and was not doubting it. Some official sources say one thing, others do not. That's why I said there's "conflicting information on this depending on which official promo you look at". Because, depending on which official promo you look at, there's conflicting information on it.

The PS Blog post, for example, very much suggests that the Power Pack requires Spec III/1.64 and since that launches on December 4 it hints that Spec III/1.64 will arrive either at the same time or before. Meanwhile other official statements don't directly link the two.

Heeyyyy, I was looking up one thing and saw one of my predictions from May :

• May 29, 2025

• Report
• 
  
• Add bookmark
• #36

Going to change slightly to a car Kaz said he owned:
- Mitsubishi FTO
Reason being is the sport coupes probability. Even though it's FF, it's got a V6. There are a host of sports coupes in this game with six-cylinders. Bringing back a Gran Turismo favourite and something two-wheel drive, adds to that contingent.

Similar to the datamine Fiat Couple Turbo. Both cars will be a sort of first FF "sport sedan" three-box car to be available in GT7.

At least now there will be two FF sport sedans.

Something I want to shout out is the creativity in marketing reveals for this.

Sliding the Espace into a seemingly unrelated trailer of stuff we already knew about. Showing up in a regional State of Play that had low expectations. Even the Polestar fleet outside before the GTWS. It's all been quite clever and unexpected and frankly just better than normal, and I like that, and it makes me wonder if and where Kaz might next pop up in the coming weeks.

I understand the sentiment there, and I also appreciate the slight shift. But let’s be really honest here it’s not community lead. Or recognised.

Less we forget they packaged paid DLC behind a big update.

Not being negative but again pragmatically the my buried bad news with good. Maybe it’s a change of internal rhetoric, maybe it’s more a new PR agency or maybe it’s more open but not really open, just getting ahead of the PR (remember the whole MTX thing)

I don’t honestly think there is anything more than more PR to gain eyeballs over PMR and Rennsport. They are tactically dialling it up in the PD way and mixing update with cough you can also pay as well.

It’s good business but it’s not a massive change in approach across the board, just it suits them now.

You do mean Thanksgiving AND Black Friday??

Can Kaz pop up in my house and give me a job at PD?

It's actually even less than that. This is just what's currently happening, and the PR team(s) is/are marketing it. PMR, Rennsport, ACR, hell even GTA6 could land and it wouldn't make a difference.

Wasn't considering black Friday as part of the hopium induced hallucination.
PP has been stated as releasing on 4 Dec so unlikely to be a black Friday offering. PS5s might be on the black Friday block though.

And that makes sense

What if…?
