17 Years Later, The Porsche 911 GT3 (996) Car Is Finally Coming to Gran Turismo

[Epic B]

As per the Kazunori Tweet, these four cars are some of the content for the update next week...

And I'd be surprised if we didn't get more anyway.

 

[Quakebass]

I wonder if the 996 that was scanned was Kaz’s personal car, that’d be a neat little touch if so.

 

[ShiftingGears]

I think we all know the 993 is much better looking.

I'm not particularly surprised that more iconic Porsches were overlooked in favour of Yamauchi's personal preference.

If someone has VR, maybe they can check the glovebox for a spare air freshener. Also check for wear on the steering wheel and shift knob.

 

[RaceFuchs]

This is very nice. Finally another Porsche!

 

[Paiky]

Now give us please this car

and this

Sweet as and thank you gt planet

Don't forget the Lancia Stratos. Which I'd say has a good chance of coming back.

 

[CarreransxGT]

I think the bigger news is that the '02 NSX Type-R has been confirmed.

So far its the Z32, the 996 GT3 and what looks like a 997 GT3....

I am reminded partly of the way FOrza 7 is now where there is almost too many Porsches.

How many generations of GT3 do we need?

HI, how do you know that 2002 model nsx-r is included too?!

Shame the Alfa didn't make it. Though we got the 320i and IS GT1

Yes, bring them back. Bring them all back.

 

[FoRiZon]

I believe it would be a new model, unless the 300ZX was one of the adaptive tessellation models from GT6. All cars so far from GT5 have been redone (or at least heavily modified).

An exact model that was appeared in past games and then re-done again in the sequel is still a remaster.

Remaster does not meant that exact model being copied into the sequel. You thinking about being ported, like most standard cars from GT4 in GT5.

Just for confirmation, the 300ZX is while the NSX-R isn't.

 

[D-Max]

How do you know it's next week?

It's the last week of September next week and Kaz hasn't brought out a content update at the start of a month yet.

 

[RZQSPEED]

Finally, we are seeing some new Porsches for the first time with the 997 GT3 and the (in)famous 996 GT3.

As for people suggesting the Alfa 156 TC, BMW 320i ETCC and the Lexus IS200 GT-1, they could be shoved into Gr.4, since the former two are obviously Touring Cars, while for the IS200, well, it could be a Mégane Trophy beater for all intents and purposes.

It's the last week of September next week and Kaz hasn't brought out a content update at the start of a month yet.

But it's not confirmed.

 

[D-Max]

But it's not confirmed.

give it time. Kaz isn't silly enough to drop content like that then not put it in the game so soon.

It's obviously ready for use, it will come, wait and see. Maybe Kaz spilled the beans yesterday.

 

[IngRobNy]

But it's not confirmed.

Maybe Kaz spilled the beans yesterday.

Yes it's confirmed and yes Kaz spilled the beans yesterday in this tweet:



It says: Some of this month update will be released first (before Grand Turismo Grand Tour 2 starts).

That McLaren is shown in the intro of GTS... along with the W04 and the W06/WO7.. I don't know witch of the two, so i keep my hopes up!

 

[VXR]

Or you could do what i did and buy a Drive Hub and use your wheel on both?

I will probably try that at some point.

 

[StealthVel]

Some more great news but someone mentioned 5 cars but I count 4 or have I missed something? Nissan 300ZX, Honda NSX Type R, Porsche 996 and 997 GT3.

Are these all the cars or are there still more to come because usually we see at least 7 in an update..?

Someone said there was a new Corvette, but they were talking about December's Corvette Stingray Convertible '69

Woah that 787B sure looks different

And the Opel/Vauxhall Astra looks like a Alfa Romeo to me .

 

[John G]

Amazing never thought I'd see a 996 coming to GTS.

I have it's little brother, 996 Carrera, long live funny headlights!!

I get it. I can understand not everyone liking the 996.1 but...

of all of the alternatives, you choose the 993? That abdomination?

 

[sparkytooth]

Uh oh, we're going full rennlist mode in here

I like the 996, i think Porsche was brave enough to try something new and succeeded, in my opinion. Obviously, I'm part of a minority group.
To me, the 964 is the best looking 911 generation, followed by the 991 gen.

Never thought I would read that, especially talking 996 vs 993

Seeing this, I was surprised that Kaz still owns his 996 and it remains stock condition.
And when GTS had old cars, I thought this car may be coming...

The dream now came true!!

I've been wondering the same thing.

Also, some breaking news - the 2 new Porsches are 20m credits each...





Just kidding . I hope!

I actually hope the NSX is 100-200k like the E30. Then it can race in most of the GT LEAGUE events.

 

[Strittan]

I just noticed that the 996 GT3 has a full cage instead of the usual roll bar, which is weird. Why would they do that?

EDIT: Nevermind. Seems like it's the Clubsport version.

 

[CarreransxGT]

It will be around 80K. But, if we get 2002 version too, that will cost around 120K.
