Daburu kurashu IKOZE!!! (If you know, you know.)

Nani?

 

[JTB10000]

Cool cars.

Some more chili pepper races where actual racing takes place please 🙏 I don't bother with the lame and boring chase the rabbit stuff anymore.

 

[Kayla86]

Bring back the Nissan r390 GT 1 race car

 

[juanffy18]

Volvo and the NSX GT500 nice choices this time.

 

[Rossell2]

Considering they've bought back the Castrol NSX and the Toyota Gt-One in recent months, I don't think that's too far fetched now.

 

[Ryan81]

Very nice selection and very pleased to see 5 cars than the usual 3. Great to see the return of Volvo as well as the R31 Skyline. Also, none should be too expensive.
What trim level/engine spec do you think the Volvo 240 will be?

 

[Kayla86]

I hope get a swap engine for Toyota GT ONE RACECAR

 

[juanffy18]

Maybe it's possible to see soon the Lotus brand. Volvo and Lotus are from Geely right now.

It's possible to see soon the Lotus brand. Volvo and Lotus are from Geely right now.

Not even a page has passed.

No. Geely, Lotus, and Volvo are all owned by ZGH (as are LTI, Lynk&Co, and Polestar).

No. Licensing is under the purview of PR and marketing, which each brand manages for themselves. The only company that operates the way you suggest is Stellantis (and even then, Maserati has its own teams).

The issue with Lotus not being in GT is between PD and Lotus.

Lotus's licensing still has nothing to do with the brand's ownership by ZGH, and nothing to do with Volvo's licensing.

The reason Lotus isn't in the game is between Lotus and PD.

 

[Torneo]

Good that they finally brought back the Castrol Mugen NSX to complete the trio of JGTC legends and make it possible to recreate classic GT500 racing.

 

[superid23]

Maybe we get this event for the NSX Mugen 2000. I would really enjoy it

 

[dacc10]

It's an alright update. Could have been better, could have been a lot worse. The biggest win here is the addition of Volvo, which opens up a few doors for other cars from the brand.
I always assumed the 850R would have been the most logical and popular choice.
If it turns out to be the V40 T5 R-Design (any V40 below this variant is pointless, let's be honest), it's not bad.
Hope it increases the chances of getting in the future some Polestar variants and the P1800 Cyan.

The NSX was already expected sooner or later.
The Civic is both expected and quite boring honestly. It could have been saved for GT8, since there are higher priorities to add to GT7.
The Nissan was also half expected. It's not really a surprise nor groundbreaking.

The fact that it's a 5-car update is really good, instead of just 3. Only wished there was a bit more variety, specially in terms of performance, as this update adds 4 slow/slow-ish cars, and 1 race car.

 

[jrbabbitt]

Something happened between them?

Yes, Lotus wants more £££££££££££££

 

[bluealpine]

2 new Brands added consecutively, thank you PD! Now we are waiting for L...S. (spoil the future thread about june update 🙂)

 

[Interstellar9]

An ok-ish selection in my opinion. Happy to see the Castrol Mugen Honda back in GT. Rest of the field is not my taste but anyway. Maybe the update has a new track or other things I can look forward to.

EDIT:
And yes, again a new Brand for the game. Where is Koenigsegg? ^^

 

[Hlavco]

Very happy with the vehicle selection. That generation Civic is one of the quintessential Gran Turismo starter cars... it was very strange having a game without it. Station wagons are also a weirdly important part of the GT recipe.

 

[Johan]

Whoa! Five ones. And, given the interpolation of the silhouettes are correct, they are good.
Seems I fit the target Group described.

My first reaction to the ”240 wagon” silhouette was: Mercedes W110/111 ”fintail?”
Better still, but not as likely. I know…

 

[Talon16]

The NSX will presumably drop in the LCD same as the other GT500s. I just hope it's not too expensive... 1.5-2.5mil hopefully.

 

[zeptrans]

R31 ooooooh yeaaah...

I will add some lines side of the car, and a little Tommykaira at the back...

I expect a lot from the 240GLT next month in swap, I take any V8 or 2JZ.

L S?

 

[VR-SORN]

Yes, Lotus wants more £££££££££££££

Lotus could be forced to do it for free for PD if the majority control shareholders changed the board and fired all the top bosses if they refused? So writing nice letters to Zhejiang Geely Holding might help perhaps.
Unless Zhejiang Geely Holding support Lotus against PD and Volvo have gone against the ethos. And Zhejiang Geely Holding could instruct Volvo to withdraw.
Then update 1.49 would delete Volvo from GT7.
So thats my June update prediction sorted.

 

[hawkeyez]

I've been yearning for this car so bad since the game came out, and now it's finally coming home.

What’s the difference between this and the NSX GT500?

 

[bluealpine]

L S?

Light iS right

 

[PlanetJanet]

As always I find myself rather out of step with the consensus, the NSX means absolutely nothing to me.

Still, if it makes people happy then I'm all for it. All 'bout them Volvos for me, such a pleasant surprise.

 

[Ryan81]

What’s the difference between this and the NSX GT500?

I believe this is the early millennium variant (perhaps '99) that raced against the Tom's Supra and 1999 Skyline in the game.

 

[RobertHammer]

What’s the difference between this and the NSX GT500?

2000 Castrol Mugen Honda NSX-GT: Honda brought new tech to the 2000-spec NSX-GT including a new gearbox design derived from Formula Nippon – the end result is four victories and Honda’s first GT500 Drivers’ and Teams’ Championships, won by the Castrol Mugen NSX of Ryo Michigami – who didn’t win a race but racked up four podiums alongside Osamu Nakako and Hidetoshi Mitsusada.

 

[Mr. Premium]

Hell yes, stoked on the Volvo 240 Wagon! I've been day dreaming about sleeper Volvo wagons the past few months. Hopefully it comes with an engine swap option that involves a turbo 5 cylinder. Looking forward to playing with a flying brick 🤤

Look at farine de blé on youtube 2JZ swaped volvo

 

[Seikenfreak]

What’s the difference between this and the NSX GT500?

I'm not very familiar with the JGTC stuff but, from the sound of things, the late 90s/early 2000s cars were a bit closer to their production counterparts. Engine wise at least. And then eventually they just started doing whatever with whatever and kinda only retained the exterior shape.

Just my guess though.🤷‍♂️

 

[lbpomg95]

Somehow I find myself very happy that the Volvo 240 is being added. No clue why.
