Are there other 4 wheel steering cars in GT7 besides the Mitsubishi GTO?

It's one of my favorite cars simply because the 4 wheel steering makes it very different to drive than a standard 4 wheel drive car.
 
Porsche 918 spyder and Gt3 RS‘16. but you have to buy first the four-wheel steering controller

All GT-Rs.
S13 Ks.
S14 Ks.

Note that the list on Wikipedia indicates all vehicles where 4WS was offered in some regions.
I feel like it must work differently on different cars. I have driven a lot of GTRs and it isn't immediately visually obvious the way it is on the GTO or maybe I just am not as observant as I think I am.
 
It's not.

At low speeds, Nissan's HICAS system does nothing.
At medium speeds, it first turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction as the front wheels to increase turn-in speed, then the same direction as the fronts to increase stability.
At high speeds, all it does is turn the rear wheels the same as the fronts to increase stability during lane changes.

I've also never proved that HICAS is correctly modeled in any GT game; same goes for Nissan's ATTESA AWD sytem.

Do you know if you can add a 4 wheel steering controller to the GTRs? I've seen it in the extreme parts section but I don't know what cars it works with.

How is it different in game? I remember trying it and didn't note a difference...

I modded mine with extra power and downforce to be a GT1 style race car and when losing traction around a corner instead of countersteering I could keep attacking the corner and the car would find grip again.
 
I have it on my AMG black. I don’t really notice a difference, but at least it’s fun to imagine it does!
So far that is the only car that I have found which allows you to add the four wheel steering controller part. Did you go into the settings and change the rear steering angle? You can adjust it from 0-100. I tried it out and I can notice a small difference in how aggressively I can attack a corner. I think it's more effective on a four wheel drive car.

If I recall correctly, the AMG GT-R has the 4ws option as well.
As a sidenote, I don't know if we can install 4ws on the Delta Integrale in the game, but in real life Lancia developed a 4ws Delta, I think it never did any wrc events.

I’ll have to go back now and see if any of the updates have made any positive impact on these where you can tell a difference. It’s been several months since I played around with them, but back in probably May-July 2022 I didn’t notice any difference with them installed.
There are several cars in the game that I bought the kits for but never could tell a difference in handling with any of them installed whether set at minimum or maximum so I stopped spending time and money on them.
 
The Chaparral 2X VGT has 4 wheel steering, IIRC. Takes some getting used to driving it, but once you get the hang of it, it is a smooth ride. Fast too.
 
For those whom "want to see the rear wheels actually turning", the steering angle on the rears in most of the cars is pretty lower than the fronts steering angle and you will find really hard to actually see it.
For example, the Porsche 991 gen 4WS sytem has a max lock of 2.8 degrees (in opposite direction to the fronts) under 50 km/h and a max lock of 1.5 degrees (in the same direction of the fronts) over 80 km/h.

The easiest way to see it is with the chase cam either playing or in a replay otherwise yeah it's probably too subtle to notice.

I've experienced the 4WS in one of my real life Skylines (R32 GTS-4) a few times around some corners and i always find it interesting when i read from Nissan, car mags etc that it increases stability as it actually feels like the opposite, as though the car is getting sideways - but it's not. It's a really bizarre feeling, but i suppose once you get used to it you understand it better.

I've always backed off when i've felt it kick in, as it just feels too weird compared to my other Skyline (R32 GTS) which doesn't have HICAS (Nissan's name for the four wheel steering, for those who don't know).
I can tell exactly what the back of the GTS is doing, whereas the 4 feels like you're driving on gravel. I need to get it on a track one day where there's a bit more of a safety buffer than a ditch/bank/guardrail on the side of the road.
