Gran Turismo 7: Latest news and discussion thread

[TheAdmiester]

Interesting. So GT8 isn't for next month I guess?

There's nothing that I would like to confidently or definitively say. The list might get carried over to the next game, it might get finished with GT7, or it might get finished and even expanded upon with GT7. I would take anything about the next GT with a grain of salt unless it's coming from PD themselves.

Wait, was that a rumor?

 

[RobertHammer]

Yay finally the Honda Castrol Mugen 🔥 🔥 🔥

 

[Krivousti]

It might be worth acknowledging that all of these cars but the 240 have been known to some of us since launch - what people refer to as "the datamine" is an old list that's not totally accurate (think lots of GT3-6 and even TT data that you can be pretty sure isn't coming to GT7) and also missing a lot of info.

The 240 was a genuine surprise that came from what I can best describe as "a reserved slot with no name assigned", and there are a lot more of those still to come.

I hope there are some open wheelers in those still to come cars wink wink

English isn't my mother tongue, I was just joking.
But I don't really understand the process you're using.
Are you scanning the game files or the server ones?
And if it's the game files, doesn't it mean that you can say that there are car slots remaining for GT7?

Either way, thank you for your work! (And for GT4 spec II also!)

I think next month was metaphorical, he meant "soon"

 

[Clinton Ducks]

They first station wagon in the game? Let's hope more will follow like the RS6 V10 or the E61 BMW M5 V10.

Nissan Stagea

The specifics I won't get into as PD could very easily stop the thing I get info from.

What I was trying to say was more like, yes what I'm looking at is related to GT7, but in this day and age of games becoming platforms and live services, it's entirely possible that the list could be carried over to an eventual GT8, and that we simply don't know any long term plans beyond "this car is coming in the next update", a week or two before said update.

 

[GlamFM]

Along the correct lines - I won't spoil the specifics but it was 100% due to this week's special event using an update car.

Let me guess: It's either the slowest or the most obscure car of the bunch?

 

[SSQES]

@TheAdmiester
Solid lineup! Very hyped, but honestly, when you teased it, I was expecting a GR1 car... Is there some on your datalist, just to know if PoDy is still aware that this group still exist?

Don't worry , there is the Genesis Gr.1 coming sometime

 

[Marneus_boss]

Wow the JGTC NSX!
With that one we have a fairly good JGTC period cars:
Skyline R34
Supra
NSX
F1 LM
F1 GTR

Pretty interesting carlist

I could be wrong but I think it was the Civic?

 

[mimiperator]

@XSquareStickIt So just re-saying the number of cars is that much of a bad thing? Other's did spoil much more than I did

Oh no no no, I wasn't claiming you were spoiling anything. I just wanted to add to your post with a silly gif I was trying to do two things in one post, sorry if it implicated you.

 

[narutaki]

Alright, this is my speculation of what new events we're getting.

2000 Castrol Mugen NSX - New WTC800 or GT Cup Gr.3 in Japan, probably KDP because it has neither.
1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R - New Nissan GT-R Cup or Japanese FR Challenge 550 event. Would the R31 GTS-R fit in the GT-R Cup?
1993 Honda Civic SiR-II - Japanese FF Challenge 450.
2013 Volvo V40 T5 - European Sunday Cup 500.
1993 Volvo 240 SE Wagon - European Sunday Cup 400.

New cafe book is all the classic JGTC cars, prize is some crappy 6-star ticket.

 

[Nielsen]

Looks good.

I’m glad they’re finally adding a non-GT-R road car. You might say the GTS-R carries on the spirit of older GT-R models, but it opens the door for other no so famous Skyline models getting added in the future.

 

[Fezzik]

Is that what you play Gran Turismo for?

At this point, yes. TTs and Sport.

I also play ACC for the GT3 and GT4 stuff but I prefer the handling of this game, so would rather have some new machinery in this instead of more Civics and Skylines.

I do like the Volvos.

Ooooh, ok my bad my bad, I didn't get it at first, the gift explains the situation now to me xD

Could we get a track this month or is that completely out of question? Do you know?

No track this month, beyond this month I have no info.

 

[RaY29rus]

Another car added which would look really nice with some Watanabe RS
I wonder if we will ever see them (or any new wheels) in GT7

 

[GTboyz]

Confirming the list, don't look if you prefer guessing.

Spoiler: Cars

2000 Castrol Mugen NSX
1993 Volvo 240 SE Wagon
2013 Volvo V40 T5
1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R
1993 Honda Civic SiR-II

No way !! These are good lineup IMO (except for the V40, not that excited)

 

[MrHorsepower]

Nice, Volvo! Hope there will be V8 swap for the 240

Aka the mjolnyr

I've been expecting the R31 and the NSX since the publication of the leaked car list.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I always liked more the Avex Dome livery on the NSX rather than the Castrol, just my 2 cents

 

[ScottPuss20]

Didn’t expect to see the return of Volvo in this update. I’m sure the Swedes will go mad over the 240, which should have an engine swap for some unbridled craziness. It’s an iconic brick, but the Castrol NSX is even more iconic. I’m surprised that it’s taken over 2 years to show up, especially since the 97 Supra and 99 GT-R were in the game from day one. Anyway there’s no reason for us to complain now. The R31 Skyline and the EG Civic are also worthwhile additions that I’d say have been a long time coming. A lot to be excited about this month.

 

[Boxster]

Wait, was that a rumor?

Oh boy, the rumour mill starting to run.
Wild speculations starting in 5, 4, 3 , ...

 

[SM_Marti]

YES!!!! CASTROL MUGEN NSX!!!!!!!

 

[GBalao888]

I'm very happy with the car selection for this month! Man, then it really wasn't a coincidence to see both the GT500 Supra and the GT500 Skyline this month among the legendary cars, the same thing happened with the F1 GTR LongTail and CLK-LM in the month of the GT-One! 🏁

...

EDIT: Volvo is back! Man, there's hope for Lotus too then! 💪🏻

This could spell the possibility for the return of Lotus and introduction of Koenigsegg.

Lotus - As Volvo is owned by Geely, guess who else Geely owns: Lotus themselves.

Koenigsegg - As we now have Volvo, which is a Swedish brand, Koenigsegg could definitely be introduced in one of these updates. The more Scandinavian cars, the better.

No.

Firstly, Geely is a car brand and, like Lotus and Volvo (and Polestar, and Lynk&Co, and LTI), is owned by ZGH.

More importantly, Lotus's licensing is Lotus's business. ZGH is not involved. This isn't a Stellantis situation where the brands are managed centrally. Each conducts its own PR and marketing affairs.
