Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.63 Now Available: New Cars, Ten Engine Swaps, New Races, and More

[05XR8]

The Mazda is the only car that interests me.

Why isn't the Hyundai this version?

Because, we'll probably get the parts for it. We don’t need no steenkin’ race car when we can build our own. Isn’t it grand?!

 

[Lomic]

Myself and my entire circle of GT7 friends used to complain about how disappointing these updates are. Now we don't even talk about it at all. That's how bad it's gotten.

Because you grew wiser with age 😁

 

[hyperspeed980]

In my search so far, all I have found is the 8 Speed Auto for the Adventure model. Any mention of CVT (Either the K120 CVT or the Aisin Seiki T110 eCVT) Seem to specifically be for the Hybrid and "Prime" models.

This is directly from Toyota's website.

No track. Back to sleep I go.

I'm totally convinced we'll never see a new track now and anything truly interesting is being held for GT8. Roll on 2028.... (My god, I hope I don't have to wait that long - I might be on PC by then...)

Or Asseto Corsa Evo

YESSS at least the hyundai elantra n 2023 in GT7...thank you so much 🔥🔥🔥

 

[JTB10000]

I wish they would just tell us what's going on with the track situation. Seriously, what is the point of being so secretive about this? Wouldn't us knowing assuage a lot of the frustration that's being expressed when these updates happen? It's been 3.5 years since GT7 launched, I think it's alright to at least hint at the new game by now.

just to annoy you, i think. 🤔

Where did you find that on the site? I couldn't see it when I searched.

From the article announcing the launch of this RAV4 generation in Japan.

In regards to the significance of the Hyundai Elantra(ELANTRA?) N in the GT franchise, it’s the newest FF four door sport sedan since these “newest” four door sport sedans, in GT6. Twenty years older than the Elantra/ELANTRA:

• Opel Vectra 3.2 V6 ‘03
• SRT SRT4 ‘03
• Vauxhall Vectra 3.2 V6 ‘03
• Volvo S60 T-5 Sport ‘03

That’s it. That’s crazy.

FF four door sport sedans other than the ones above are:

• Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 V6 24V ‘98
• Alfa Romeo 166 2.5 V6 24V Sportronic ‘98
• Honda Accord Euro-R ‘00
• Honda Acoord Euro R ‘02
• Mazda 323F ‘93 Mazda Familia Sedan Sport 20 ‘02
• Mazda Protege ‘02
• Nissan Primera 2.0 Te ‘90
• Nissan Primera 20V(JDM & EU) ‘01

Honda FD2 would like a shoutout.
There was also the Mazda Atenza 25 something from GT 5/6

True indeed! That was an ‘08 model, which shortens the time length to 17 years between sport sedans.

I believe those Atenzas are all hatchbacks. The Mazdaspeed 6 is a four door sedan, but that’s 4WD. Same with the current Atenzas being 4WD in GT7(except the Gr.3 versions).

This video give a lot of Gran Turismo Vibes... and sponsor... 🧐 🧐
We're getting The N one today, but this video mention the Cup Car version, "weird" no?
I know PoDy sponsor the Nurb N24, but this sponsor on the door, we will probably get the part in GT auto, but no racing interior?

 

[Neroblu Osaka]

The JDM Adventure appears to be a 2.0 4WD with an 8 speed auto, but what I've been reading on searching for the model's internal code (MXAA54) it's a damn CVT. So not much in the way of adding power as usual.

Try to tune transmission “Racing - full customize” and choose “Manual”. Tune the engine, i guess that 500hp + is aceptable for a 4WD SUV…

 

[Max_HP]

Hopefully we can shoehorn a 2JZ-GTE Supra engine+Ultra High RPM Turbo into the FJ. 🤣
Considering the Willy's Jeep has the Hellcat Charger engine in it.

Forza let you swap a 2JZ into an FJ40 and the results were… interesting

 

[CodeRedR51]

That is nice, but you still have the stock interior unfortunately.

 

[PuffelPizza]

Car List updated

 

[RobertHammer]

Most people in GT7 dont even care since they dont drive in cockpit view or VR but i do wish PD could have done some interior customization or some default "race" cockpit

 

[Nakano219]

Patch notes are up

The only thing of note that we didn't already know is a Hagerty revision. The next one isn't scheduled until February, which might be the clearest sign yet that support for things that aren't cars are slowing down now.

Cars
・ Hyundai ELANTRA N '23 : why not, curious to try it
・ Mazda Spirit Racing Roadster 12R '25 : loving it ! can't wait
・ Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo : I like the look, hope driving will be interesting, not setting high hopes
・ Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40V '74 : lovely !
・ Toyota RAV4 Adventure '20 : meh

Engine Swaps
・ Citroën BX 19 TRS '87 : 😱 wonder what will be available for the swap
Curious to see what the other swaps are. Especially the Silvia's

 

[Fezzik]

Regarding the boost function on the 'Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo,' pressing the 'Nitro/Overtake' button will engage the boost for four seconds, increasing the car's speed. (Usable up to four times in succession). Braking for a total of 20 seconds will replenish a single boost charge.

This car might actually be fun

 

[hyperspeed980]

Okay, incredible news that caught me completely off-guard.
The RAV4 has GEARS! Woo!!!

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

I hope this means what I think it means.

Nice, I'm looking forward to ridiculous engine swaps!

[WiseGuyTM]

Well every single issue about the CX.R’s implementation (minus custom race usability) has now been fixed. The battery works better, and they added manual controls to the active aero and battery deployment over 150 mph. The battery is now self sustaining, and they even adjusted the cars PP to be far lower than it was last update, so you can freely use it in Gr1 Prototype events without a nerf. Glad this car doesn’t have to be a joke anymore 🎉

Edit: they adjusted its fuel economy to be way better too. Now it can absolutely destroy Gr1 Prototype events.

Why do I think that's a taxi sign?

 

[05XR8]

At least Hyundai were kind enough to give the Elantra a sport steering wheel.

Well, I just built my first Elantra N1 Cup Car. Here are the specs:

Elantra N1 Cup Car | Hyundai N

Elantra N1 Cup Car, Unmatched durability and performance, tested and proven on circuits worldwide

Gotta praise PD and Hyundai for doing the widebody proper and all the affiliated parts. They even did the accurate tow strap.

Only problem is the placement of the single race exhaust. Instead of straight down the middle like the rear Cup Car, it’s on the right rear cut-out.

 

[Nakano219]

OK, something definitely has to be happening in the next week.

Moving the update is one thing, you can rationalise that by avoiding the State of Play, but two new TTs also out of sequence? Either the whole of PD is out of the office next week, or something is happening.
