Volkswagen ID.R Coming to Gran Turismo 7 on September 29​

Volkswagen’s record-breaking ID.R time attack car is one of the cars that’s coming to Gran Turismo 7 in this month’s update, scheduled for Thursday September 29...

Here before the "this update doesn't have my uncle's 1997 Chrysler Grand Voyager LX in it, not playing again Polyphony" comments.

 

[Talon16]

My interest is piqued. This car looks like fun.

Will it be in the Gr1 category?

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I am really looking forward to try the crazy Volkswagen ID.R.

For me, it's the Mitsubishi COLT 1.5 Sport X Version '02.

 

[Nathan88]

Can never say anything’s guaranteed. But alongside the other Pikes Peak cars released & leaked, a specific Pikes Peak designation in the garage, and various Pikes Peak images released alongside recent Suzuki’s. I’d be pretty amazed if the full Pikes Peak course isn’t one of the major updates planned. The tarmac version of course.

When it arrives is anyones guess. I’d also be interested to see how it’s utilised given it could, theoretically, be split up into different sections. Even used for small grid races or Touge events.

On a smaller scale. It would be nice to see the Goodwood Hillclimb return.

You missed the part: this is rediculous, the worst GT ever, drip feeding content, can't sell cars yet, it's all designed around MTX, where is my Zandvoort or Apricot Hill track etc 😒

 

[brockie]

Maybe a future online time trial? The IDR at the Nurburgring

 

[Eggstor]

We got new layouts last month, so we'll get new menu books this month.

At least Hagerty's will be shut out.

 

[Famine]

the other Pikes Peak cars

This isn't that though. The 2018 Pikes Peak configuration of the ID.R is different; this is the 2019 Goodwood/Nurburgring configuration.

 

[zeptrans]

S14... The Silvia family is complete now

It's the first gen of S14 (hood, mirrors). I imagine the K's AERO, as previous GT games.

 

[Racer93]

Looking forward to test the Volkswagen ID.R.

 

[05XR8]

Maybe more events and rain at Monza. Like, it does rain there.

Occasional where's modern GT3/WEC and European track, for flavor.

I agree with some of these complaints (more events, car selling, drop the roulettes) because they are definitely doable in a short amount of time by PD, but the car/tracklist complains are insane. Do they know how long it takes to model even one of these cars?

 

[Samus]

Do they know how long it takes to model even one of these cars?

Yes, they do, and that's why they complain that PD spend that time modelling VGTs instead of the real world cars that they want.

 

[Artremis]

Hoping for a new track! Haven't played in all month pretty much so that'd make the game feel pretty fresh

 

[MIE1992]

My interest is piqued. This car looks like fun.

Will it be in the Gr1 category?

Considering it's a full-on EV, probably not, since all Gr.4/Gr.3/Gr.2/Gr.1/Gr.B are either full-ICE or are hybrids.

 

[aojracing2]

Yes, they do, and that's why they complain that PD spend that time modelling VGTs instead of the real world cars that they want.

Well, I agree a pretty much identical Porsche isn't ideal, but I for one like VGTs. And if it wasn't a VGT there still would be people complaining it's not the 15 exact cars they want. Not sure there is a 3-car combo that wouldn't get hated on at this point.

That time attack cat looks mean! Am I wrong in assuming it will be something similar to the AM Vulcan? Basically a racecar but designated as a hyper/sports car?

The ID.R? No, it's a completely custom machine built originally to set the Pikes Peak record.

The version of the car being added is the one with modified aero for not-14,000ft-high stuff that set the old Goodwood Hill Climb record and the EV record at the Nordschleife. There was also a third version with further modified aero for the record Tianmen Mountain run, but it's not that one either.

Volkswagen Takes the Cover off Its Pikes Peak Entry: The I.D. R

Back in March, Volkswagen teased us with some images of its newest racer. Now it's revealed all, with some juicy numbers too. For a start, the racer uses a pair of engines, rather like Volkswagen's last attempt at Pikes Peak. Unlike that petrol-powered Golf though, these are electric motors. Comb

Volkswagen Demolishes Pikes Peak Record with 7:57 Race to the Clouds

Volkswagen and Romain Dumas made history at Pikes Peak this weekend. Not only did they beat the previous electric-only record by almost exactly a minute, but the VW I.D. R's 7:57.148 time is now the fastest ever at the event. It's a remarkable time, regardless of propulsion choice. When the I.D.

The Volkswagen ID R is already a record-breaker, but the brand is hoping to add to its list of honors. VW built the time attack car with a single goal: to beat the electric record at Pikes Peak. Yes, the ID R is an electric time attack car, and standard bearer for VW's "ID" electric sub-brand - w

Volkswagen ID R Adds a Nordschleife Notch to its Bedpost

When Volkswagen sent the ID R electric racer up Pikes Peak and dismantled the all-time record, it seemed like it'd be a one-off. After all, Volkswagen had built the car with the specific aim of beating the electric record for the climb. It turned out that Wolfsburg wasn't quite done with the ID R

[Ryan81]

I just knew that Porsche VGT would be included. Another Nissan Silvia, yippee! PD must be laughing their heads off. They seriously consider these updates worthy content? Just compare the updates that GT7 and Horizon 5 have received. It's not even a contest.

Thanks for all the info! Will be fun to rip around the ring!

 

[Famine]

I just knew that Porsche VGT would be included.

You and everyone else, given that Porsche literally said that in the post in which it revealed the car.

Another Nissan Silvia, yippee!

It is very much a missing link in the current car list though, as we only have S13 and S15 models. It's also one of the cars that's been in GT since the beginning, and is extremely popular as a drift car (among other things).

 

[G.T.Ace]

Will it be in the Gr1 category?

I think this variant has a top speed of ~270 kph so I doubt it.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Oh my lanta!

 

[Nathan88]

This isn't that though. The 2018 Pikes Peak configuration of the ID.R is different; this is the 2019 Goodwood/Nurburgring configuration.

It’ll be interesting if the ID.R in-game does have the Pikes Peak classification however. Even if it’s not technically the same car.

The only similar comparison I can make are Group C cars. Some low downforce spec like the XJR-9LM. Others high downforce like the 962C. It’s one of my biggest bugbears, something PD addressed with the MP4/4 aero kits.

With all that said I’d love the Goodwood Hillclimb. Given the nature of the course some very different cars can post competitive times.

 

[TheRacer94]

,maybe goodwood time attack mode back from GT6

 

[Boxster]

Oh, I have some criticism as well. There should be more events and why do only 4 races have a decent payout? To name of few.

 

[Ibeatthestig]

So happy for the ID R. It was n2 on my whish list…no1 is still the ferrari F2004.
