For a game soo obsessed with details, it seems really stupid to equip EVERY CAR with the exact same fuel tank. This is yet another immersion-breaking feature that PD should be doing away with now.

This. Though I did read an article a couple months ago saying that Porsche is allegedly releasing a 2026 992/2 GT2 RS, speculated to be around 800bhp. Guess we'll find out in a few months (or whenever Porsche does the 2026 lineup drop)
I'm actually shocked they're going to do another GT2 RS run at all. I thought they were moving further into electric only territory.

(E3 2005 Gran Turismo HD Prototype Footage, basically GT4 on steroids, because, well, they have been using the same fuel/tank/economy system ever since for the past 21+ years, so uh, that's the link I guess, of why I used these images. Brother in Christ, I rarely take coffee, and when I do I cant stop writing absolute nonsense.)
I still feel like it is an essential addition to be able to have the effect of increasing fuel tank size for roadcars/modified cars.
It would add a lot more diversity and freedom of choice for players to use whatever fits then best for longer races.
Sure, many players use highly modified roadcars on LM700 for example at 700pp, but unless they have a racing engine already swapped, they are most likely on FM3 or FM6 on the base standard road engine just to survive the race and edge-out a win.
I dont think that is fair, considering racing cars and racing engines can go flat-out at FM1, do one stop for refuel or even zero stops, and be at the same 700pp without any fuel-map loss.
Implementing something like a custom part to have the same effect as increasing fuel tank size woukd bridge this gap, and make it much more fair.
Notice how I say "have the same effect" because Polyphony have quietly shot themselves in the foot (I guess quietly would be with a crossbow, or silencer) : making every car in the game use 100L tanks, and then forcing unrealistically high fuel economy on racing cars to give the same effect as bigger endurance racing tanks.
So, whatever works around that weird system, we need it in GT7. And hopefully in GT8 they rework and fix this whole system entirely to use more realistic standard tank sizes and realistic fuel economy, which is funny, because their current dated system gives the same effect outcome surprisingly accurately in many cases but it's just not right.
(I just woke up from a nap dreaming of solutions around this and just wrote it down, apologies for typos, I'm half asleep right now but it's on my mind and I wanted to share lol)

Well on one hand they're making more money than ever on special edition sports cars, so the business case is probably there. You may have also noticed that Porsche now makes customers pay EXTRA for features that used to be standard. Want a naturally aspirated engine? Now you have to pay through the nose for a GT3. Want a manual transmission? That's unavailable on the 911 base and S models - now you have to pony up $139k for a 911 Carrera T.
As to EVs, they're realizing that (most) people that buy Porsches won't buy them. Once technology catches up they'll be able to convince some buyers, but others, will never buy them.

I see the recently-new cars (with engine-swap capabilities) have been added! Thank you for keeping this page up to date! It gives GT7 a whole new fun aspect to mess around with!! :-)

I didn't know the 911 S or Cayman S didn't have optional manual transmissions anymore... The crazy prices have kept me off Porsche dealers for a decade.
It's crazy as before the Porsche bubble started inflating it was as easy to find an S model 911 or Cayman with a manual as it was to find a Z06 Corvette, about the same price too. Now Porsche's (at least the one's people want) are into low-end Ferrari or McLaren models in terms of pricing.
You've got a point about the battery bs and their core customers never going that direction. I just wonder how they're going to keep making 911's (and that's their brand; make the 911 an electric and they might as well just become an SUV and million dollar+ hyper car company) with the EU "all electric by 2035 or whatever it is. If they give Porsche an exemption they're going to have to exempt AMG, BMW, Lambo, Ferrari, Pagani, etc, etc, etc. Might have to start making them in the US, maybe UK. But then I'm American and know very little about how this will actually play out.

On the topic of hybrid cars not (yet) having a swap... I also noticed the standard Hayabusa engine used on the regular Suzuki VGT (also a hybrid car) has yet to be made available as an swap option for any car. (Not to mention any Gr.1 LMP1-H/LMH engine.)

I'm hoping for a Renault 4 GTL swap as it's such a cute little car but fatally hampered by it's lack of power.
Unfortunately PD have a habit of giving us ridiculously OP engine swaps for European cars (Volvo, VW Golf, Autobianchi) so I hope they don't do the same for the R4. Something like the EF Civic engine would be perfect.

Two new engines join the swap list! EJ20 from the Impreza '98 Rally Car, and the Focus Gr.B Inline-4

Front drive Demio with 500+HP.
What could go wrong 😅
Overall good swaps I think, not to costly. Each car can return its 'investment' in one LeMans grind.💰
Sadly no 5-cylinder swap (Audi S1 Quattro) for the Volvo 240 or (any engine) for the Toyota C-HR tractor...

The imprezas swaps are batheling...why try to recreate a car that is already in game? And the same engine for both? Couldn't they choose diferent engines for each impreza? Seriously?

By this point, I feel they are aware of people wanting engine swaps as a way to buff fuel economy/wear (something I addressed in this wishlist, which saw I getting the Escort and Sierra wish right).
I do agree that the 22B swap should have been with the WRX Gr.B's FA20 or the BRZ GT300's EJ20 before the arrival of the real WRC car.

Yeah I think it's silly. Just buy the rally car itself!

The rally car is slower in PP limited races due to the weight given to downforce in the calculations. With the same engine the road cars are now faster, and more fuel efficient race cars.

I'll call this the endurance racing engine swap update, I think it's great!
