Did the Evolution VIII MR GSR really come with a black carbon rear wing? I thought that was an MR RS thing.

I’ve looked up pictures of the VIII MR GSR but I can only find die cast models and old school Gran Turismo images.
I can confirm as the owner of a JDM Evo VIII MR GSR, the wing stands on the MR GSRs comes in Eisen Grey (not black) with an exposed carbon wing blade as factory, pic of mine for reference:

The BBS wheels also seen on the 9 and 9MR were an option that could be picked for the 8MR, otherwise the enkei 6 spokes from the 8 GSR were the default.

Don’t forget the Black Edition ‘12, Black Mask ‘07 and the NISMO ‘14 - all from GT6 (Black Mask from GT5) 😄
Only the '07, SpecV, and the Black Edition '12 is needed.

NISMO has been replaced by the '17 variant.

Think GT gotta show the progression of a car, including GT-R variants and Lancer Evo variants (the only game that has all Evo from I to X). Seeing how the GT-R went from 480hp to now 600hp (with something like Black Edition being middle of 542hp).

I’m curious to see the performance (if any) differences between the VIII and the IX.

I like the GT-R but probably not going to be an absolute standout for me in GT7.

The van on the other hand has some interesting potential - perhaps I (or someone) should make a NASCAR style custom race calling it like “NASVAN” or something like that.
Yes, I'm creating the "Courier Cup" , FedEx, Amazon etc liveries. Gonna be a cracker.
I'm a sucker for Evo's and GT-R's so I'm happy. Free is good.
 
I'm concerned the custom windshield banner canvas for the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR GSR will not have enough room to fit the LinelTex and Mitsubishi logos like the Evolution IX. I think I will replicate the regular non-MR Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII GSR '03 from GT4 in all the colors it came in originally (Medium Purple Mica might be difficult) when the car comes to GT7

On their own, the cars are nice additions. As a group, couple with some scapes, and two whole Sophy races I’d say this update is less than the sum of its parts. Nothing to hate, nothing to get excited about.

It begs the question though - where is this game going?

Previous titles had quirky events (I loved the moon) while now we just get quirky cars as an afterthought. No disrespect to the HiAce, but as someone said before, a delivery race would be hilarious, and feel like a thing that we could have fun with. Just adding a HiAce on its own is lazy.

These wheels were in the GT4-GT6 Evo VIII MR. I wish PD would keep them for GT7, it looks so much nicer. Plus, it would look a little less similar to the stock Evo IX MR already in the game.
