Gran Turismo 7’s Next Update is Coming This Week, With Four New Cars​

Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to Twitter to announce and tease the next update to Gran Turismo 7, which will arrive on consoles this coming week...

For a second there I thought the car on the top right was a stock car, oh well.

It would be great if they made a PD stock car like the F1500T-A. I’ve seen an awesome Silvia Touring Car made to look like a stock car, but it would be great if we can have a real one.

There's a speculation that the right-bottom one is the Roadster NR-A (ND), because Brains Motor Sports Club (B-Sports), which supervises the Roadster Party Race reacted to this.

 

[Darla Starch]

Wait... 4 cars? Shorter waiting time? A modern sportscar, current racecar and 2 classics? What will the car list complaints be this time?

The usual ones:

• absolutely up-to-date GT3/WEC/WRC lineup
• primarily European and Japanese cars
• supercar announced ten minutes ago, likely vaporware status optional

I like how it been since GT6 that we have had a 2006 WRX STI & 2011-2014 WRX STI.

It's been since 2013 and we don't have those models in any of the modern Gran Turismo games?

FAIL.

 

[GTxForza]

Not bad, but this game still needs a lot of fixes.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

That's a decent selection, although it's kind of unfortunate we won't get the NB or NC Roadster, instead it's another ND. Personally, I would love to see the 1998 NB returning.

 

[Artremis]

Huh, didn't expect the update to come so soon and to have more than 3 cars. Hoping for a track!

 

[k20_Bones]

Happy to see 4 cars instead of 3, and externally happy that it’s a week earlier than expected. Sadly I could not care less about the 4 cars themselves. While it’s good to get a “modern” GT3 car, it’s not one that you’ll see on track in any current events, so I feel like it’s out of place. Same with the miata. I 100% would want all the Miata’s in game, but right now feels like the wrong time for it to be taking up 1 of 4 slots. The older skyline is cool and a welcome addition. Not a big fan of the Maserati but I’m sure there’s plenty who are so it’s also not a choice. Now they just need to start dropping patch notes PRIOR to the updates, and also do another post to the community giving us a timeline for fixes/major content additions and in 6 months the game will be in a good place lol.

 

[Mariangello]

If they add two tracks, it would be a noticeable improvement. 🤣

 

[MoLiEG]

The Merak is a sweet addition to GT7's lineup.

The rest? Meh. PD doing PD things.

 

[Aksu593]

The cars GT7 really needed desperately were indeed one we already had but with slightly different spoilers and one we already had but with a slightly different roof, well guessed Polyphony, this is what we really asked for!

At least the Roadster comes with the 2.0 engine so it's a little different, but that GTR is a joke...

 

[RichiPuppy]

I love new cars, but please PD give me more events to use the cars already in the game.

 

[GlamFM]

So do we feel like there being 4 cars instead of the usual 3 somehow kills the hope for a new track?

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst - GT7 in a nutshell.

If the Roadster was the NR-A, it still has the 1.5L engine.
Also, the GT-R GT3 '18 is almost completely different from the '13 one. That's why that car is one of my most-wanted. The '13 is now so old.

Nice to see an early content update this month and all of them are affordable

Upgraded or not, it's still an R35 GTR built for the same GT3 regulations. It's still powered by a VR38DETT, it still has a six-speed semi-auto gearbox and an FR layout, so it's hard for me to see it as anything but a facelift. I find it a bit strange to add new versions of existing racing cars in updates because they make the old ones obsolete, so the car list isn't expanding in the same way as it would if the car was completely new to the game.

PD should rather update the GT3 cars to modern examples for the launch of each game instead of keeping the old ones and then adding one new-ish one every six months

 

[nickf1gr]

Nice update but how i wish for a MX-5 NB!!!!

[JTB10000]

Has the Merak been in any other racing game before?

I'm guessing they threw in another car because 2 of them are basically duplicates of an existing car that only needed some cosmetic changes.

 

[samppa_944]

Decent new cars and given that we seem to get a new track/track layout every second monthly update, we should be getting now as well. My money is on a completely new track location, given we hadn't had one since Watkins Glen. Some friends of mine have predicted Sugo and Sepang, although something like Grand Valley or Apricot Hill seems more likely. We'll have to wait and see 👀

 

[OldandSlow]

I love the old factory hot rods. I don't care who makes them.

[Galvston]

is it on the 20th this time?

 

[eugene1]

4 cars?!? Is this a sign of things to come? Let's hope so!!!!

 

[dimassa19]

4 cars? Things are evolving!

I liked the GT-R 1973.

 

[Famine]

is it on the 20th this time?

I wrote the last line of the article just for you.

 

[Ibeatthestig]

My prediction are:
100-200k for the skyline 1973
200-300k for the merak
500k up to a million for the new GTR gt3
20-30k for the mx5

I do also believe the roll out the update 1 week earlier than normal, since the last week of October is halloween and there are a lot of new games down the line, hence no one will play gran turismo

 

[Famine]

100-200k for the skyline 1973

Hakosukas have been up over £200k for years; a Kenmeri sold in the US for $176k in 2019, but the last KPGC110 that actually sold was ¥47,300,000 (£312k/$320k at current rates). One didn't hit its estimate at ¥75,000,000-¥105,000,000 (£500k-£700k/$505k-$705k) in 2020.

Figure on 350-450k+.

 

[Nielsen]

Well, I do remember driving the Kenmeri GT-R in GT5 feeling disappointed about it being a standard car. How silly of me, as I only needed to wait 12 years for a better model. That’s nothing.

 

[SlowFWD84VT]

I agree ThE c8 and c8 Z06 &c1 would be great

I see what you mean with the MX-5. Maybe it's the RF version?

As for the GT-Rs... well, I suppose they are on complete opposite ends from each other. It would be as nonsensical as calling a Corvette C1 and C8 duplicates of each other. Which both need to come to GT7 soon, now that I think about it.
