GT6 to GTS took around 4 years.I'd like to see your math.
GTS to GT7 took around 5 years.
2025 will be the year in which GT7 turns 3 years. Besides, modern high budget games take longer to make these days. The small gaps between the early GT titles come down to less demanding video game standards at the time.
Old AAA games like GTAIII, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas took less time to develop combined than GT7. Nowadays it takes 800 years to develop just one GTA game.

I really hope it doesn’t. I’m still earning cars in GT7 and perfecting tunes. I might feel different if I didn’t have to unlock all the cars again. I’d gladly welcome better graphics and physics and sound… and more cars and tracks, but I really don’t look forward to the grind again. I know some say that’s part of the game, and sure I’d be on board if we got lots of credits for racing online as well as single player. Equal payments for race time. I race online mostly so building credits has always been a struggle in this game.
If they did it more like GT Legends, which I faintly remember you working your way through the classes and as you did you unlocked all the cars in those classes. Then bring it. But if it’s a grind all over again then playing GT7 would feel like a waste of my time if I were to move onto GT8 and kiss GT7 goodbye. GT8 would have to be drastically different cars and tracks and not much else changed.
I remember it felt that way going from GT5 to GT6. I have to do this all over again?! 😭😭😭

Haven't touched GT7 in a month or two because I've been playing FS22 a lot. This has already lured me in lol.

They have quite literally added my car. The SE was pretty much the last 240 they made, alongside the Torslanda, which was more basic, and had stripes, and much nicer wheels. 90% of SEs seem to have come with the 2 litre fuel injected 4 cylinder, and a 5-speed manual (mine included), which is kind of a shame in a way because the 2.3 or 2.3 turbo fitted to '80s 240s are generally seen as more desirable/tunable engines. Not that I care, my literal friggin' car is coming to Gran Turismo!

I will definitely have a look at it in VR mode to see how cool it will look in that mode. Might then post a short screen recording or gif of it on here.

You're setting yourself up for disappointement if you think the issues plaguging GT7 will be magically addressed with GT8.
As others have pointed out GT8 is likely years away due to increasing dev cost for AAA games. Additionally, quite a few of the things people want remedied in GT8, are the same things others thought would be corrected with GT7... Yet here we are lololol.
I expect PD will continue to deliver content over the next couple of years in the forms of cars/tracks. IF they begin to incrementally fix system-level issues with GT7, I'll start to have a level of anticipation for GT8.

Although I would like to complaint for no new tracks, but I am kinda happy with the "new" NSX. Gonna be awesome tinkering with this one.

If Polyphony Digital isn't going to introduce some ground-breaking new features and rebuild the career mode from scratch, using GT Sophy and progression akin to older games, then I'd rather stick with GT7 instead of buying GT8 where I'd have to grind for all these cars from the beginning 😄

Everyone all upset, but I’m over here cheesin’.
PD answers prayers.
Now that we have the official iconic EG, I can finally recreate this!
Cant wait til this afternoon.
I’ll hold on to the NSXs and acquire more Supras and Skylines when they return to the LCD(plenty of time til then). The V40 can wait it ain’t going anywhere.

Nice car update. I have a feeling they are done with track updates for this game.

I honestly don't think we can make that assumption. It took about 9 months between Grand Valley and Lake Louise. It's been about 6 since Lake Louise. A new track 3 months from now would be on pace. It's just... a very slow pace.

I’m excited for the Volvo 240 
My uncle used to have one in that typical dark blue But I’m only slightly annoyed the V40 is right hand drive… I generally dislike it when PD switches between right- and left hand drive cars from (mainland) Europe… imho if the brand in from a left hand drive country, the car should be modeled left hand drive and for brands that are from right hand driving countries, right hand drive. Or just have both available so people can choose which one they want… (that’ll never happen though)

Just speaking for myself (obviously), I don't mind the slow pace of <insert aspect of the game here>. It's just that holistically, when I look at the game compared to GT Sport. I can't help but wonder where the dev time went, it was 6 years between titles right? I could be mistaken.
For example... Let's say GT7 dropped and it debuted with vastly improved physics, penalty systems, FFB and the weather system was used to it's fullest. I'd better understand the lack of tracks, car additions, etc. Instead we got a cross-gen game that went backwards in certain respects... That being said, I'm always open to new info about the dev process. I'm sure there are things I don't understand.

Perhaps that way outside the Nordic, but between me and my friend we've had four '92 models - three SEs, one GL - and all of them have had the 2.3 engine, the 2.0 is more of a rarity here. There never was a 2.3 turbo 240 from the factory, only 2.1 as the bigger ones went to the 700/900 series.
It would only make sense, which is why PD will never do it.

Look, she's only just congratulated you for getting 500 cars last month in her nice patronising way. What more do you wantPlot twist: Sarah doesn't come congratulate you when you get all the LCD or all the cars in the game. Ask me how I know.............
First year post release included a lot of work on GT Sport, then another likely 3 years + of those 6 years went on the game engine, lighting engine, physics etc. So only maybe 2 years was spent on the game itself. Although admittedly there wasn't much game to be found on release, they would have had to create the "cafe scenes", photograph another billion scapes, hunt for suitable rabbits for us to chase in the events etc etc. OK I made up the last bit...

I believe the issue is, there was a falling out between Polyphony and Pratt & Miller, over the addition of the C5.R way back in GT 3, if I remember correctly. I believe P & M were unhappy with the sound modeling.

It's the same game engine with some improvements for the PS5, there's nothing "next-gen" about it. The fact that they've squeezed so much out of the PS4 is what I find most astonishing.First year post release included a lot of work on GT Sport, then another likely 3 years + of those 6 years went on the game engine, lighting engine, physics etc. So only maybe 2 years was spent on the game itself.

As it pertains to GT Sport, I found that the penalty system and FFB was better (at least initially) there. GT7 is definitely a step backwards with the penalty system.
The end of your post is probably more accurate than they'd ever admit to lol.
