Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[BrunusCL82]

I don't understand why new brands and models of automotive wheels have not been added.

• Volk Racing
• HRE
• Work Wheels
• SSR
• Cosmis
• Forgeline
• Konig
• TSW
• Rotiform

Just stopping by to say that I'm absolutely AMAZED by the XJ220. BEST handling supercar in the game. It is VERY impressive to me just how stable it is, especially under braking. I even beat the F1's time on the Nords with it, yes, it beat the McLaren F1! My mind is confused!

Sounds good. I bought 3 XJ220s, one I keep stock. Two others will be heavily modded. Although the third one I might save for an eventual engine swap build.

Those 2 brands are already include in GT AUTO

I haven't bought the XJ220 yet. Hyped about the SF car and tried the Fuji race only once and finished in 2nd which was okay. I had a wreck on Lap 8. I pitted at lap 12 and used hard tires. Idk how some of the AI don't need to pit. It does not make logical sense at all. I mean, do they magic wands to make their cars wheels invincible?

+1000
And also, that we can't get wheels from other cars like in older titles. Probably comes down to licensing restrictions, but 787B wheels on an FD or R92CP wheels on a R33 would be so nice.

 

[Vitesh Patel]

Ran the Fuji race twice, got trounced by the AI who didn't pit at all, it rained lightly for about a lap, not enough to box for inters etc.

Yes, the xj220 is really good. Handles like a dream. Way too good for a car from the 90's.
Since PD seems to like late 80's- 90's era of cars, I hope the bugatti eb110 (and the lotus esprit if its not asking too much) make an appearence in future updates.

 

[Alex p.]

What tires?

Stock. SH tyres. 07.10.4xx. Could've been a 07.09.xxx. The aliens might JUST get it under 7 minutes into the 06.59s or even 06.58s.

I'm waiting for the EB110 since the GT3 days...

Almost every super car from that era in game now. The eb110 is one of the only ones missing.

The Lister Storm, the Venturis and the Vectors need to return from GT2 as well though...
PURE 90's Best Motoring vibes

There are loads of early 90’s supercars missing. I wouldn’t expect them to cover them all, though a few have appeared in GT games before like the Vectors and Venturi’s as well as the Cizeta V16T, Lister Storm, XJR-15, Elise GT1 and Esprit.

You also have the Dauer 962, Isdera Commendatore and more.

GT7 does a good job of representing that era, but there are stil a lot missing.

 

[MroczMR]

I would add Lamborghini Diablo to get proper pop-up headlights model from 90's and not 2000 GT version.

Add the tvr griffth and cerbera speed 12 to that.
Would be surprised if vector and venturi ever came back. But it would certainly be great additions.

Would be amazing cizeta v16t vs vector m12 vs diablo.

Oh my yes THAT would be an amazing battle!

He probably meant new models for those already existing brands

My ABSOLUTE favourite cars of all time. ALL 90's Diablos. I would jump in a circle if they would add 'em. OG Diablo from '90, the SV AND the amazing SE Jolta!

All this talk of '90s supercars and all I really want back from older titles is the average "everyday" models and the muscle cars. GT4 and GT6 (albeit a lot of GT4 carryovers) had a lot of them. I feel like we lost a lot of good cars when we transitioned to the 4K era.

Before the thread starts getting derailed, that’s what I’m saying. Not just a “Why not both?”, but I’d have the Primera over a super car any day.

Would also love more american muscle cars.
Plymouth cuda, chevy chevelle, this baby:
Love it, won me a lot of races in gt4.

The thing is if they release ordinary cars for GT7 they will barely get used because they're mostly used in early game progression which GT7 sorely lacks. So I sort of hope they secretly have a little backlog of ordinary cars building in the background for GT8 in a perfect world where GT8 is going to be the actual return to the GT formula (this won't happen obviously, but hope is free).

It may sound a bit strange, but I also don't like the fact that we are always getting the top of the line/premium variants.

I know it makes sense. We're using these cars to race so might as well add to the game the best ones and I understand PD doing this because if car modelling takes many months then it's better to concentrate your work on the best models.

It just that I kinda don't have that sense of "ownership" from previous GT games. It's silly, but that's probably why I love so much GT4. There's a car for literally every type of player.

 

[dimassa19]

Very nice to see this icon with a dignified modeling.

I put some more modern wheels, a more stylish brake, a suspension... my favorite color... All that's missing now is a decent engine. I can't wait to change it.

This wouldn't be so much a problem if PD would add more dedicated events for the lower-end "starter" type cars. But PD seems to be focused on adding more later game content targeted seemingly at those that spend hours to grind for one car. Personally I've little patience for the grind and find many of these extra menus to be insulting. Spend 3+ million to get a six star ticket that gives you 500k, like, really PD?

Also I feel increasing the payouts on the beginner-mid game events would entice more people to enter them and make use more of these lower-end cars.

EDIT; Lastly I do wonder what happened to the complete a book, get rewarded a car that the base campaign and the K-car extra book offer. Seems like once you do the main campaign and the K book you're never to be rewarded a car again with the menu books themselves. I feel this causes inconsistency within the game, and there is seemingly still over 200+ cars they could reward you with. Many older models you can't even get with 0 mileage, and returning to this format would allow people to acquire some samples of these other 200+ cars but with 0 mileage.

 

[Monkey Man]

Did all the new SF events using the older SF19 on hards, no-stoppers, just for fun.

Pretty-epic. Love feeling and feathering over the track bumps in those things.

Is there here a topic where we can talk about drifting in gt7? I do not find one

 

[Yard_Sale]

I’d say make one

Type “Drifting” in the Search top right of the screen. Might find one to continue discussion.

 

[Doncarlone]

Gt7 lacks cars for gr2 and grb. And could have more options for gr1. Rest its fairly ok.
