The latest Gran Turismo 7 game update, 1.60, is now available for all PlayStation 4 and 5, bringing new content after a six-week break along with some other changes too.
Coming in at a relatively ordinary 1.06GB on PlayStation 4 and 1.15GB on PlayStation 5, it’s a fairly standard size for a three-car update and somewhat indicative of the handful of changes it brings.
As is always the case we already knew quite a lot about the update, but we never know everything until the patch notes land along with the update itself. Well, almost everything, as there’s always the odd undocumented item. Nonetheless, read on to find out all that 1.60 brings when you boot up today.

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.60: New Cars
Again we were clued into the cars a little earlier than usual thanks to a more revealing social media post from GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The full identities were subsequently confirmed, but it’s only now that we know how much this update is going to cost your credit balance:
- Citroen BX19 TRS 1987 – Used Cars – 30,000cr
- Lancia Delta HF Integrale WRC 1992 – Legends Cars – 300,000cr
- Peugeot 2008 Allure 2021 – Brand Central – 29,000cr
Unsurprisingly it’s the legendary Lancia Delta WRC that makes up the bulk of the outlay in 1.60, with the Didier Auriol-driven, team championship winning car coming in at a cool 300,000cr in the Legends Cars dealer. Of course this price may vary over time but we have a couple of months until the next pricing update for Legends.
The other two vehicles don’t even come to a fifth of that between them, and it’s perhaps a little unexpected that the Citroen BX is the most expensive of the two. Although now over 40 years old for some early examples, the BX isn’t a car that’s been hit with scene tax just yet, so the 30,000cr price for this high mid-range, mid-production BX19 TRS is pretty keen. That said, it’s a low mileage Hot Pick, and it may be cheaper when it enters regular rotation.
Of course that leaves the Peugeot 2008 at 29,000cr in Brand Central and, as a new car, it’s always going to be that price. That’ll be good for buying duplicates in case of a fruity future engine swap, though there’s not one in this update, nor are there any different, wild body parts on a widened version.
All-in, the update will cost you some 359,000cr, making it the fourth successive six-figure update and the sixth least expensive across all 30 content updates so far in GT7’s lifetime.
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.60: New Extra Menu & Races
While May’s 1.59 skipped out on both Bonus Menu and Extra Menu books, 1.60 bring a car collection task in the Extra Menu Book 46, for Mercedes-Benz. It’s going to be an expensive old collection too, and potentially frustrating with all three cars lining up in the Legends Car rotation — though they are added as Special Picks for the next week from today.
The Unimog will be cheapest, at under 50,000cr, but the 300SL will set you back almost 2,000,000cr. That seems like a bargain next to the W196R Monoposto, at ten times the price. And your reward for collecting these three? A Six-Star Roulette Ticket, which is at least more valuable than usual but can award as little as 500,000cr or a Brand Central car worth this much.

As usual the three new races are based around the new vehicles in the update, and it doesn’t take a lot of guessing to figure the five-lap race at Colorado Springs Lake in the World Rally Challenge Gr.B is aimed at the new Lancia. It offers 65,000cr for first place.
Both of the other two races could suit either of the other two cars, but the Peugeot 2008 is the featured thumbnail car for the European Sunday Cup 400 race at Watkins Glen Short, which is a three-lap race for a 38,000cr winner’s prize. That leaves the BX to feature for the Sunday Cup race at the reverse Streets of Willow Springs circuit over two laps and for 27,000cr.
- Colorado Springs Lake (5 laps) – World Rally Challenge Gr.B – 65,000cr
- Watkins Glen Short (3 laps) – European Sunday Cup 400 – 38,000cr
- Willow Springs Streets Reverse (2 laps) – Sunday Cup – 27,000cr
GT Sophy has also learned another new circuit this month, and is now available for standard 2-3 lap races and your own custom events at the Alsace Village circuit.
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.60: New Engine Swaps
We’re back down to five engine swaps for this update, and there’s a dose of the unusual here in that all five are second-swaps for the cars receiving them.
Of these, there two classic 2JZ swaps, with the fourth-generation Supra’s engine now finding new homes in the S13 Nissan Silvia Ks (joining the SR20DET) and Lexus RC F (joining the Chiron W16). The earlier S14 Nissan Silvia Ks also gets VR38DETT power from the Nissan GT-R as an alternative to the Corvette C7’s LT5.
The remaining two swaps are a touch more exotic. Subaru’s updated 2021 BRZ S joins a couple of its siblings with a new DKH-911 swap from the 992-generation Porsche 911 Turbo, while the Nissan 300ZX can now take the tuned LS7 from the Roadster Shop Rampage Camaro.
You’ll can buy the engines directly from GT Auto if you are Collector Level 50, although they may be quite expensive. Engines are also available as prizes in some Roulette Tickets — including Six-Star (Engine) tickets — at any level, and can be swapped in your garage for free.
Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.60: Scapes and Other Changes
Scotland is the location for this month’s Scapes updates, with 30 new locations based in the country that provides some of the United Kingdom’s most spectacular landscapes and views.
As well as multiple shots of the Cairngorms National Park — the UK’s largest such area — there’s also several on and around the famous Isle of Skye and that most-photographed of locations in the Forth Bridge.
Other changes this month include a fix for an issue that affected the rotary dials on Fanatec wheels (no FullForce yet though…), after last month’s update for a similar function on Thrustmaster wheels, and a tweak to the hybrid Nissan GT-R LM NISMO which sees it now listed as all-wheel drive — presumably with the electric power now heading to the rear wheels.
Along with other minor tweaks to display errors that include oil pressure gauge and battery indicators in certain conditions, there’s also an unannounced change to the Gr.3 Balance of Performance which we’ll have to see playing out over the next couple of Daily Race events.
There’s likely other unannounced changes, under “various other issues have been addressed”, which the community will be uncovering in due course in a dedicated Undocumented Changes thread.
Indeed one relatively obvious one has already been uncovered in the thread, with updated Xiaomi SU7 Ultra signage at the Nurburgring to reflect a recent real-life change. The updated signs for Suzuka, first revealed in a GT World Series event in August 2023, are still absent though…
