Ok. So I've seen other people put this car in a few lists, but I wish to include reasons as to why I predict this will happen.
So GT7 has a focus on nostalgia, bringing back classic circuits and cars from the history of the franchise such as Trial Mountain, and the Castrol Tom's Supra. Here is the GT Mode menu from the first Gran Turismo.

Of all car brands featured, one is severely underrepresented in GT Sport: TVR. Despite appearing in every game up to GT6, there were no TVR's at launch in GT Sport. That would eventually change, when in January 2019 the Tuscan Speed 6 made its return. A month later in February 2019 however, Forza Horizon 4 also added the Tuscan, along with another car. And it is that car that I am predicting for Gran Turismo 7.

The TVR Griffith '18 (or '20, as I believe production was delayed).
TVR was 1 of only 2 European manufacturers on the original Gran Turismo. But why didn't GT Sport get the new Griffith like Forza did? I believe that they could be saving it for GT7 specifically. The Manufacturer Series will be getting at least 1 brand new addition for GT7, in the form of Genesis (Hyundai's luxury brand). I reckon TVR given its heritage with the franchise will be getting a similar treatment.
To be able to enter the Manufacturer Series, a manufacturer has to have at least 1 Gr.4 and 1 Gr.3 car in its line-up. TVR already has a perfect candidate for a Gr.4 race car from previous games: The Tuscan Speed 6 Touring Car.

As the road car is already in the game, this would be a natural addition. In previous games it already had Gr.4 levels of power, and I think with BoP especially it would work quite well.
As for the Gr.3 car, I feel that Polyphony will get creative. It might be a stretch, but I predict they will make a Gr.3 version of the new Griffith. My reasoning for it is that Polyphony would want to call back to the old Cerbera LM Race Car from the first GT, and do so with a new machine. Perhaps a throwback livery with a modern touch.

There you have it. I predict not only the new TVR Griffith, but also that TVR will become a part of the Manufacturer Series. With all of the callbacks to the past, I think Polyphony will give this stalwart brand of the series the recognition it deserves.
