Gran Turismo 7’s March Update is Coming Next Week with Three New Cars

[MroczMR]

Well at this point I just started to accept GT7 as it is and everything I like added is just a nice surprise. Its just too bad this is the only VR racing title for PS5.

L: Renault Kangoo (2001)
T: Mazda CX-30 (2021)
R: Aston Martin Vantage (2018)

Yamauchi already said that this wasn't the case a couple of years back, but additionally the car content pipeline is running at pretty much a constant rate since the first GT Sport update. Even when cars were no longer being added to Sport, the number of new ones that arrived at GT7's launch was entirely consistent with that rate.

Ok, but we got around 100 cars added since launch. If they don't have at least 75 cars curretly ready now,being kept for GT8, they should then get their priorities revised.

What's the deal with all the family cars, transporters and vans added to the game lately?

Kangoo is fun, there's plenty of real world swaps I have seen, including the hilariously named F4RT 2.0t from the Megane RS, the F4R from the Clio 172/182, K4M 1.6 from the Twingo RS, and various Honda K series swaps as well.

Yes, over three years. Which is pretty much the same rate as cars were added to GT Sport and then stored up for GT7 when no longer being added to Sport.

As they're still being added to GT7, at the same rate, there's no reason to suppose there's more waiting and not being added.

 

[NAXEHT]

Kangoo... Seriously, dude? Proper ass.

 

[Doncarlone]

Aston Martin vantage 2018: highlight of the update, obviously.
Mazda cx30: AWD version please.
Renault kangoo: whatever...

 

[suomi1]

Kaz is also at the Shanghai International Circuit for the F1 race it seems. Putting the tweet in a spoiler tab for those who missed Sprint Qualifying:

Spoiler: Kaz In Shanghai

So Kaz is not that far from Geely's headquarters. An interesting trip from him...

It’s so weird how PD is steering toward overly practical cars when important sports cars are still missing. I’d understand branching out to other categories if the conventional car roster was already fleshed out, but this is a numbered GT game that only has two out of the four generations of the Mazda Roadster / MX-5. Crazy.

Shame that PD only sometimes goes for realistic, actually driveable swaps. Expect the Escudo engine or a 1000hp LS ...

 

[nickf1gr]

We haven't a Clio Williams or a Clio 172 RS but we have KANGOOOOOOO!!!!
OM#$%#$%#%!!!!!!

Kaz has fully achieved the Harada mentality:


"Don't ask him for ****."

 

[gregguh]

To me, the top one resembles Volvo C30, not Mazda. Would love to see it coming back!!

 

[GBalao888]

Something tells me that based on Kaz's Shanghai GP tweet, Hamilton would still have his role as the game's "maestro" even after all these years and with no time trial challenge yet.

Another tells me that should there be time trial challenges again, it will all be Ferrari-themed instead of Mercedes.

 

[05XR8]

I’m going to guess either a K20 or Clio V6 swap for the Kangoo. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if a VQ makes it as a choice.

What's the deal with all the family cars, transporters and vans added to the game lately?

It’s what people are driving today. There was a van craze and SUVs are the de facto family ride. Utes are big with so many choices(here in Australia). Wouldn’t surprise me to see more of those added to the game(Unimog was a surprise). Maybe even kei trucks.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Just now seeing the news. Kangoo is big here in Australia too. Not as customised as Japan though. That’s cool.

Oh well, I guess that means we’re building our own GT4 cars now. First the AMG GT R. Then Audi R8 ‘16 and now new Vantage. I’ll make it work.

Porsche there too if you're wanting a full road car converted grid

 

[DapperDan07]

Plus the alpine a110

I’d keep the race car. Gotsta have the tyre branding for that. Same for the Supra and M4.

Hope you are wrong, as it would be crazy to waste resources on cars like C-HR, Kangoo, and other commercial veichles when there are hundreds of performance and sports cars that are highly requested to come for the first time, or to come back from older GT titles.

 

[MroczMR]

EXOcars would like a word

Well. You know I meant bigger racing games.

 

[GTFan24]

So who's looking forward to the epic 10 new Sunday Cup events this month?



Pls don't actually do it Kaz im losing my sanity

 

[Famine]

Hope you are wrong

You can do the maths yourself, it's not tricky.

This is a false dichotomy. It's not a choice between "C-HR, Kangoo, and other commercial vehicles" or "hundreds of performance and sports cars", but between what we get and nothing.

People can request what they like - in the Suggestions forum and the Car & Track Wishlist thread, not here - but it's meaningless without an (unmodified) example of the car to access for scanning, and that's meaningless without a licensing agreement.

Every brand is different, not only on what they want their cars used for but which cars and even which games they appear in. Some may not see the point of being in games at all, some don't want to be just another car in a list of high three-figures of them, some don't want to work with some developers/publishers, some only want to licence new stuff (that they can then sell; they can't make money on old stuff), some recognise that cool old stuff brings fans into the brand, some just want a stupid amount of money to even think about it, and so on.

No licence means no car, regardless of what you want to see. It's pretty much that simple.

Again, PD has been adding cars at pretty much the same rate from GT Sport's launch to today - even throughout the post-Sport, pre-7 period - so expecting them to have a 75%+ overproduction that we're not seeing because they're holding it back is not founded in reality.

 

[MroczMR]

Aston Martin is great addition. I am wondering what kind of events will accompany it.

 

[PSN offapple]

I think the right one is TVR

Oh man I wish that was the case. Been wanting the new Griffith for ages, and Forza has had it alongside the Tuscan Speed 6 ever since GT added the Tuscan itself.

But if it seems more likely to be the latest Aston Martin Vantage, that's also pretty cool.

Interesting how there's been quite a few lower-end cars added in recent updates. Makes me wonder if they're focused on that to have an expanded roster of Sunday Cup starter cars for the next game. Seems that some others here think the same.

 

[suomi1]

So if I read correctly, Renault Kangoo, Aston Martin Vantage, and a Volvo or a Mazda Cx-30?

Damn, this updates breaks a lot of patterns!
exit March = Audi
exit March = race car
exit February = the only update with a french car

So do u think they release just whst they hsve snd they do not keep nothing for the next game? :asd:

Apparently the reason I have 88,009 posts now is due to repetition.

Available evidence says that PD is not holding back on delivering cars for the next game. Yamauchi has said that they don't do that now, and the rate of vehicle addition has been almost constant since 2017. I have no reason to suppose that they are doing anything else.

They might be, but that's not reflected by what we actually know.

 

[Kriptical]

Wonder if they are happy with their physics and ffb choices.

Don’t care about cars

Don’t care about tracks.

Just want driving to be fun again

Presently its so meh i went from logging in once or twice a day. To once or twice a month.
