Except no, that's not how that works. That too had to be signed off by Manufacturers in order for that to happen. I guarantee you that no Developer can just do engine swaps without Manufacturer approval (Especially as seeing that now we have 2 Nissans that can have Big block Chevy Engine swaps and that probably wasn't gonna happen without Nissan being fine with it)
Payouts seems decent.
And what if… GT8 is being developed to by PS6/PS5 crossgen title? After Sony layoffs, and huge costs of game development there will be bigger focus on supporting game for a longer periods than before. I think that GT7 will stay with us for longer than many of you think it will. Especially that it sells very very well.We know the next game is in development, it's the lack of other content like scapes, menu books, new tracks for Sophy etc, The finally added the multi facetted BOP, which is probably last piece of the puzzle,
A PS5nly title will open up other avenues of development.
But could be wrong, and it's is only a guess.
But ultimately you could put your own livery on the 458, The fact that the 488 and especially the 296 which appeared in other games SIMs so quick after it's development. Adding to this, the lack of other GT3s Vantage, 720s and BMW M4, would say it's more of a choice by PD than issues with the Manufacturer so it's just as likely a PD thing rather than a Ferrari thing,
I understand they have limits, PD wouldn't dare to put Ferrari engine to Lambo or vice versa, but they have put some ridiculous engine swaps though, like nismo lancia delta, chiron swaps, alphard lfa. That means the manufacturers have to approve that right? Especially the Chiron swaps. It's actually amazing PD have the approval for that.
The Lay offs are mainly at none Japanese studios 200 of the the 900 at one studio in the UK, There are for "efficiency" rather than slowing down the development of games, It's also not known what features were canned to make the game PS4 compatible (which was a Sony Decision not PD), You could just add those back in plus any car or tracks that are been held back, you got a top selling game for a low price.
Based on this update? Odd conclusion as it hardly differs to the average GT7 content update.
Closer to every second.

Gran Turismo 8 is Already in Development, Kazunori Yamauchi COnfirms
Kazunori Yamauchi suggests Gran Turismo 8 will have a new theme but "can't talk" about it yet.
From the man himself, and the fact that's it pretty standard to have the next game in development, whilst updating the previous title, ACC is still been updated whilst AC2 is been developed for example, As for the leaked list, how complete the models of those cars were or are is another question, if the where close to completion or finished, it's just old content in one respect with the odd new model not on the list.

Don’t do it to yourself lol
Um, no lol.
I don't think that these two fall in the tripple a category (505 games, accs publisher, made ~120m$ in 2023. iracing makes about 35m$ per year. For comparision: ea and activison blizzard made >7.5b$ each in 2023)
None of the post release Motorfest cars are paid only as far as I know
Even if GT8 is I'm development ( which at this point could simply no further than z dtirh board) j dont know why people bring it up considering PDs history. It could be another 4 or 5 years before that sees daylight.
It is much closer to iracing and ACC than to Motorfest or Forza Horizon…
