GT7 June 2026 Update Discussion

[Scuderia Paul]

Only thing giving me a slight scare is the pricing of the cars... The Toyota GR010 was 3 million but on the flip side the TS050 was only 1 million.

I always keep 10 million ringfenced for any expensive cars I really want in updates but this could be 3 million x 4 hypercars = 12 million credits.

It'd be quite the hit on the bottom line. I really hope they either put in a few high paying events for the new cars or the price is closer to 1 million than 3 million per hypercar.

I am expecting the following:

Ferrari 499P (Cr3,000,000) due to it's huge Le Mans success, and Cr1,000,000 for the others.

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if the Porsche was Cr2,000,000 given it's IMSA success.

Cr3,000,000 for each one like the Toyota GR010

i'd even split the LMP1s into 2 categories: 2010-2012 and 2015-2016, so that there's one Audi and one Toyota in each. it leaves the 2010-2012 LMPs as the smallest category with just 3 cars, but that's better than being BoPed with the Group Cs and VGTs imo.

That could work, but given that there are only three cars, I think bundling them might be ideal. However, if you want more immersion then mixing both together is going to affect that. I personally tend to favour variety over realism in cases where the car pool is small.

I wouldn't be mad at either though, especially if your approach had dupe cars in the field having different liveries to make them feel like different teams.

Like you say, having one Audi and Toyota in both would be good as well and give a sense of manufacturer balance and/or having big hitters in both.

Hard to say, since sometimes nowadays PD tries to follow real-world price dynamics, sometimes they artificially bloat or shrink prices.

In GT Sport they had a flat rate of 350k/450k/1M for groups 4-1, even though a collector group C car would go for WAY more than a simpler LMP1 diesel car, and hybrids would also be excessively priced.

7 is odd because you can still get the VGTs at a 1m flat rate, and then the Group 1 options vary wildly from 1 million to (I believe) 10 million, usually for a collector group C that isn’t even competitive.

From my real world experience, I don’t know exact prices, but Hypercar/GTP was designed to be cheap to run to prevent another LMP1 or GT1 collapse, and it’s achieved as much, given just how many teams ended up running independent privately-ran Porsche 963 operations. The operations budget of one of these cars ranges wildly from around 15-50 million, and that comes down to operations partners, which championship you race, and what car you have. The car is one thing, you then need to pay a crew of likely over 100 people to run it, storage, transport, fuel and tires, driver salary contracts, which can be crazy different team to team. Penske, for example, actually gets paid by Porsche to be the operations partner, because they have the records to back up asking for it. Others may put up the capital to run their own staff in conjunction with the manufacturer’s factory staffing and engineers.

This all obfuscates what the cost of individual items actually are. Generally, LMDh is cheaper than LMH, given they have a spec hybrid and standardized tubs from one of 4 manufacturers, and don’t necessarily have to build every single part of the car in-house. That said, I’ve seen quotes of an LMDh car itself ranging from 4-8 million depending on the car. I think the Acuras were on the cheaper side, and Porsche was 5-6 million, I don’t remember which one was claimed to be the “pricey” LMDh option though. At Long Beach this year I got to overhear a conversation with a young fan asking a mechanic about the Valkyrie, and that one runs about 10 million, given it starts as an AMR Pro, and needs to be modified with bespoke parts from there. Given all the other LMH cars (Toyota, Peugeot, Ferrari) have bespoke batteries and chassis, but also don’t have to be modified from a pricey, exclusive, boutique production/track car, their prices could still be over that or under that. The building from scratch could make the production cost cheaper, but the battery and hybrid tech could be a massive cost balloon.

BUT!!!

We don’t know if PD will bother trying to differentiate all of this, and could just make them all a flat rate of around 3-5 million credits in-game.

 

[ZZ-II]

I really hope the Group 1 Series will get several new events instead of just one. We definitely need Le Mans, Spa and Norschleife!

I don't think they're going to overcomplicate it and will just price it somewhere in the 3 million ballpark

If all four new cars are three million each, I’ll be fine with a grid of ten.

• BMW #15/#20
• Ferrari #50/#51
• Peugeot #93/#94
• Porsche #5/#6
• GR010 #7 2023 livery/#8 2024 livery

• Vantage GT3
• M6 GT3
• Corvette(C8 replica)
• 296 GT3
• Gr.3 Mustang
• RC F GT3
• 650 S GT3
• AMG GT3 ‘20
• GT3 R

I’d run one of the GT3 cars to complete the grid.

I would go for something similar + the Valkyrie. I had already managed to bring it up to the level of GR010 in the hands of the AI.

 

[wagnerFAM98]

My predictions:

Porsche 992 Safety Car - Cr. 350.000
Porsche 963 - Cr. 3.000.000
BMW M Hybrid V8 - Cr. 3.000.000
Peugeot 9X8 - Cr. 3.000.000
Ferrari 499P - Cr. 3.600.000, because Ferrari.

I thought of the Valkyrie to switch classes. Works out well.

I don’t think it’s going to be that expensive tbh. They seem to save the 3-million credit Gr.1 cars for Le Mans winners, so… that would only apply to the 499P. I think the Peugeot, Porsche and BMW are all going to just be 1-million credits each…

So if you wanted two of each on day one…

That’s six million for two Ferraris and six million for two of the other three… which comes to 12 million total. To have some decent custom races.

That’s just my prediction though, they could all be 2 million each for all I know, we’ll find out soon either way.

 

[PSN:And-War]

Any ideas how much they will cost, I have 15 mil as I was saving for another McLaren F1 but it may have to wait as I get them, please just make them 2 million each n not 3 of. we don't want the real inflation simulator, Life if depressing enough games are meant to be fun

I‘m at 108 Million right now. Doesn‘t matter to me 🤣

 

[05XR8]

It's just weird some prices of GT3 cars are scattered about. The GT-R '18, R8 Evo, AMG GT3, GT3 R and 296 GT3 are all over the shop.

 

[DapperDan07]

Toyota‘s new hypercar looks so much better with horizontal headlights. I‘m really glad they made that change compared to the GR010.

Definitely. Was never a fan of the gr010 but the tr010 is a beaut

 

[MroczMR]

Notice that both new GT3 cars we recieved in spec 3 and January update are significantly more expensive than standard Gr3 price. I guess the same will be for hypercars.

 

[Imbissbrunto]

I expect the new hypercars will cost 3.000.000 each, just like the LMP1 cars in the game (Porsche 919, Audi R18).

 

[Nakano219]

I would be surprised if the M Hybrid and the 9X8 weren't 1m. No prestige or history to them, they haven't won anything important, and they aren't from luxury brands.

The 963 could be more expensive but could also be the standard 1m, it's the one I will admit I don't have much of a read on what PD will do with it.

The 499P will be a minimum of 3m, but I also wouldn't be shocked if there was also a Ferrari tax on top of the Le Mans winner tax to put it to 4-5m.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I expect the new hypercars will cost 3.000.000 each, just like the LMP1 cars in the game (Porsche 919, Audi R18).

Again that's incorrect, all the LMP-style cars that won Le Mans, (2011 R18, 2016 919 Hybrid, 2021 GR010), are 3 million.

Every other modern LMP that didn't win Le Mans is 1 million. There are more LMP-style cars in the game that cost 1 than 3 million.

Making every new Hypercar 3 million doesn't make sense with the game's established pricing scheme, but maybe they will. Who knows.

Sounds plausible too. In any case we can probably expect the 499P to be the most expensive of the bunch.

If this ends up being correct, we should be thankful that Ferrari won it three times in a row!

 

[Mister_XFR]

I’m not well versed with the hybrid systems in these cars. Is PD gonna update how hybrids work? The hybrid system in most of the current cars (correct me if I’m wrong) completely loses charge after a couple of laps, neutering them and making them useless.

PD go out of their way to model accurate hybrid/mechanical systems for VGT cars, so hopefully they'll do the same here.

I honestly think the LMP1's need to use manual hybrid deployment.

PD go out of their way to model accurate hybrid/mechanical systems for VGT cars, so hopefully they'll do the same here.

When the hybrid system for the Chevy CX.R VGT was patched, it made the car a whole lot more fun to drive, and terrifyingly fast on almost all corners of the Nurburgring.

In addition to the FT-1 (non-Gr.3)/LF-LC VGTs and Valkyrie road car, the updated version of the CX.R VGT (after 1.63) also has manual battery deployment (considered as "Overtake" by the game, similar to that of the Valkyrie, but also affects active aero). That could also be a model for the LMHs (new and GR010).

(I am convinced VGTs are often rolling labs for PD to adjust behavior of high-performance hybrid/electric cars, since they often constantly adjusted in updates.)

 

[Auditore]

....oooh so thats what Jordan meant months ago when he said he knew some exciting future update was coming

 

[Talon16]

ETA - Never mind, this is the same video footage as the previously released video (despite this being dropped less than an hour ago).

 

[05XR8]

Add the RS 5 to that list of new race cars costing more than their class rivals.

I understand the championship car having a higher price, but PD seem to raise the prices of these new generation cars. If the Hypercars are higher performers than ten year old prototypes, I wouldn’t want to see it, but I’d expect the prices to be higher.

Now, the SF and Formula cars are all the same price, but not in the same formula class(unless used in Custom Race). If the non-championship winning Hypercars are one million credits, we all win. If those same cars have a higher than the norm Gr.1 price, so be it.
