Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.46 Will Add the Skoda Vision GT, Sony's Afeela, & a Classic Chevelle

[RedRockValley]

It's not T10's fault. Microsoft dictates the censorship policy and in just about every case of "SS" appearing as a solitary letter pairing the name and badging is censored.

Interestingly, the one car closest to being an actual vehicle driven by actual Nazis is not censored: the 1929 Mercedes-Benz SSK Roadster. Although that's not just "SS" on its own.

Sony isn't quite as reactive, but a GTP member was suspended from PSN after uploading a KKK Turbolader decal to GT Sport... The word filter is also over the top in chat.

Yeah you're correct it's Microsoft policies - my mistake.

Anyone have the livestream available?

Chevelle? Alright, alright, alright. Can't wait to see what Melba Toast is packin. She'll look sweet next to The Judge.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Thank you kindly!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I heard that they're going to do a race at this launch event, hopefully they've got some Skoda legends there like Jan Kopecky rather than the usual eSports gang. If so I might even watch it back when I get home 🤞

 

[IngRobNy]

But you can rent TT cars (thankfully).

I know but if I buy them instead my car collection goes up. ☺️ But I don't buy them if there isn't any use for them.

Here are the specs of the Škoda VGT:

1071hp/1300kg/M4WD/EV/Quad electric motors

[StealthVel]

Was going to "joke" about it having over a 1000 horsepower.

 

[kjb]

It looks really good

 

[CitroenCX]

I get it for VGT, some are awesome but is there anyone that actually enjoys driving the EVs?

I do, Tesla Model 3 Performance is pretty fun to throw around the green hell.
I actually enjoyed most of the EV VGT cars they're all somehow have their own driving quirks, and a few of them just frustrated me to no end.
This Skoda VGT will be no different for better or worse.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

I'm not a fan of the car but I have to admit that I am jealous of those of you who own VR and get to give this thing a drive in cockpit view. That rearview behind the wheel looks amazing.

 

[BlinkerFluid]

When you think the last update was the worst one yet, PD is like

 

[Keef]

It kind of seems like that Skoda 1100 OHC is a shoo-in for the game but I'd also love to see that jointed by a WRC car and something like an Octavia RS Wagon.

 

[Resna777]

It looks awesome to me! I’m ready to have a couple Vodka Skodas and drive a new VGT 😆

Announcing the 'Škoda Vision Gran Turismo': Iconic Czech Brand Comes to 'Gran Turismo'!

 

[Fezzik]

When it’s update time and the usual whiners turn up again

 

[juanffy18]

Another one overshadowed brand in GT7, why? Infiniti, Italdesign, Zagato and now Skoda are just one VGT useless car without more cars to show.

 

[RACECAR]

I don't think that a boring, old heavy box that can't turn and just shreds tyres rather than going anywhere spoils things that much. You're not required to drive it after all...

... which is what all the "boring electric spaceship" people sound like.

And lets not forget the classically overused "gazillion Horsepower" nonsense (which only barely applies to only no more then an astonishing 4 cars and even then, 3 of those are variations of the same car).

Considering how Skoda barely shows up in anything, I'd say it was overshadowed for a long while before this.

Also, name at least 5 cars that is even remotely worthwhile from Infiniti. They weren't exactly hot stuff before VGT and they still aren't.

 

[Yard_Sale]

I appreciate the effort and creative license that Polyphony Digital has always incorporated into their franchise, particularly this latest iteration.



But these VGT cars….

 

[MoLiEG]

Yep. Boring. Still a "1 car" update for me.

 

[Resna777]

I daily drive a first gen G35x and it was in GT5/6 and I would be happy to have it back in GT7. I even made a 350Z into a G35 via the livery option, but it won’t quite scratch the itch. If it never shows up, I won’t be bothered, plenty of other cars to drive!

Also I agree Infiniti hasn’t really put out great cars recently (or the past couple decades) 😔

At least one has managed to sneak through (see third pic), unless it's been patched since the interior screenshot was uploaded:

Hence "just about" 😂

The Inifiniti G, Q, and M cars are fairly popular in the States, but everywhere else those are Nissans afaik (Skyline, Gloria, and/or Cedric depending on the age). Infiniti doesn’t really produce anything truly independent under their badge like Lexus or Acura does.

I personally don't understand the fascination with "completing" the collection of cars. Especially including the fake fantasy VGT ones. I have around 360 cars and I haven't purchased anything I didn't want (aside from a handful of VGTs needed for those stupid races). Don't care at all about buying everything.

But I know everyone has different motivational drivers!

Especially since Renault took over. They used have some great cars like the J30 and G35s now i can't name one vehicle they have and I never see any on the road

 

[Mister_XFR]

One good car, a grotesque VGT, and a car shaped air fryer… thanks PD.

So many different people play the game so many different ways and all of them think PD should cater to the way they play. The fact that this is even happening means PD is doing it right but you can't tell people anything.
