Gran Turismo 7 Engine Swap Compatibility

[rlx]

First post updated!

Keeping track of engine swaps by their introduction - did I get them right?

[...]

Thank you!

In the first post, wouldn't "Only some cars can receive swaps (144 from 514 to date)" have to be changed to "155 of 519"?

Also, I'm wondering why the list of swaps by introduction only has 150 entries. Shouldn't there be 160?

I probably missed some updates - I realized I missed 1.35 and added it, but that meant I missed another update(s).

EDIT: Confirming 1.40 is also missing, will add.

Just realized how bad the rest of the new swaps are.. it seems there is a 13 year old boy in charge of engine swaps in PDI. 🤣 Makes no sense what so ever.

Yes, such interesting, more realistic combinations would be possible, like the Maserati Merak engine into the Citroën DS (in the absence of the SM) or the Porsche 356 Fuhrman engine into the VW Beetle.

And other interesting engines to swap, like the 1954 Ferrari Mondial, with its formula 2 engine and the 1955 Mercedes F1 engine (what an impressive sound when it passes by).

This video may seemingly justify why the Evo 8 has the LS7-BRZ swap (and the drag wing):


Also if anyone is keeping track of references in addition to that, the 992 Turbo S swap on the 991 GT3 RS is seen as reference to the 991 GT2 RS.
