Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.48 Now Available: Volvo Returns, Five New Cars, New Extra Menu, & New Engine Swaps

SAD!! Tested the Volvo 240 in the rain and the headlight wipers aren't animated

edit: Side note, it's really good at drifting in the rain on stock performance. Very stable

Wouldn't surprise me if they fix that next update.

if enough people complain about it maybe, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

It'd probably be one of the hidden changes PD loves to not tell us about!

I’d be surprised if we got overfenders of flares like these

Well, I am surprised.

Side exhaust is right though. Group A Brick Wagon is go!

2/10 - literally unplayable. let's go review bomb again!

I'm kidding, but I am just as sad as you are about it

I want a full refund for my free update!!!

 

[05XR8]

I just removed them.

 

[PuffelPizza]

The Supra and GT-R are back in LCD as well! Could one of tomorrow's weeklies be a Special Event for the three JGTC icons?

 

[Haitauer]

What's wrong with bolt-ons?

Dont get me wrong - that was a good laugh. Very period correct "Volvo-styling". 😉

 

[ImbaSteckdose]

The Volvo 240 bumper and grill fog/rally lights are all illuminated at night time, and flash with the flasher button

Taj Aiman has been added as an AI driver! He drives the '93 Civic in the Japanese FF event.

 

[05XR8]

Hmmm no Volvo decals.

I'm happy to see engine swaps added to these cars, but a little disappointed they didn't add engine swaps to the slower cars again.

PP600 races with sport tires are one of the most popular categories in the online lobby.

But some of my favorite vintage cars and Keis never make it to that class because their stock engines are too underpowered even with all the upgrades applied.

Hopefully next time they'll get engine swaps for my favorite Toyota Sport 800 and A112 Abarth.

Engine swaps should be an option for cars with crap engines.🤣

 

[Zenwarrior]

How much the max hp of the new cars fully tuned?

 

[RACECAR]

So after doing some careful inspection, it turns out that the NSX isn't the exact same returning car as the one we had from GT3-6. For example, the front canards are different, as well as the side intake. The hood venting is also different as well. Same with the wing mirrors.

It's small things honestly, but it's noticeable once you see it. But I suppose it could just be the final version of the car that ran that season instead of the one that PD had modeled, which I assume was early to mid-season.

After trying to find pics of it in real life with those parts I only managed to find this one:

I suspect that what PD modelled at the time was the car as it was in Preseason testing, hence the far different parts from what the car has now. Will track down videos from the actual season to see if I see those parts spring up.

 

[Cayit]

What Are The Payouts For The New Events....Any Idea?

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Testing what might not be as safe of a vehicle as I thought.

 

[SSQES]

Guys, am I the only one who find the V40 sound muffled?

 

[Hellburner]

No engine swap for the 240? We need that T5 or LS1 to spice it up. Or maybe they are saving the swap for future V70R or 850 T5R updates.. or maybe we get a Volvo with that 4.4 Yamaha V8. I wish.

Yes please, I'd love to see the Volvo S80 V8 and the Noble M600

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.48 Now Available: Volvo Returns, Five New Cars, New Extra Menu, & New Engine Swaps​

The 1.48 update for Gran Turismo 7 is now available, with one of the larger car drops in the game’s life which sees a selection of cars from previous GT games coming back after a long absence — including a welcome return for an entire brand...

It isn't free, we pre paid for it when we bought the game

While they're at it, I want animations for rear windshield wipers too. Those rear R32 wipers could use work.

Please address any complaints about errors to Air France, border security at Charles de Gaulle, and the Monsanto Corporation.

@Sinyster Found it:

Round 2 at Fuji. It would appear that what PD got was the Fuji specification of the car for Gran Turismo 3 (as well as the Raybrig and ARTA NSXs, which might just be duplicates as both still had 1999 aero in the actual fuji race). Turns out the picture I posted earlier was a preseason test also at Fuji. Mystery solved.

Video in question:

good finds!! Honestly it's cool the minor differences that showed up between events back in those days

 

[05XR8]

We need bigger grids. There are 17 NSX, Supra and GT-R in the 2000 JGTC GT500 field. Not including the F1s, Mirage, Viper and Diablo. Haven’t even added the GT300 roster.

 

[Normalaatsra]

Taj Aiman has been added as an AI driver! He drives the '93 Civic in the Japanese FF event.

When I learned about this I had a good laugh cause PD likely knows the EG Civic selling price has been overinflated to hell in southeast Asia where it was once sold as an ordinary passenger car, is now worth a ridiculous fortune.

It's for extra book support.

Speaking of that, I had a look at the Supras and Skylines/GT-Rs from GT3 and they too lacked diveplanes, which has me thinking all the GT500 cars in Gran Turismo 3 (Except the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R) were in their Fuji Specification.

honestly it would make a lot of sense to me, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case
