Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.53 Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Nakano219]

I would also say that, if they do have a VGT that is close to release at this point, I imagine they'd be quite likely to hold it slightly for a World Finals reveal before a December or January release. They like revealing VGTs at or around World Finals - the Lamborghini, Ferrari, Genesis and Bulgari are all recent examples.

Considering the Lightweight K-Cup has/will be (depending on your console's time zone) be this week's Special Event in the Weekly Challenges, the first World Circuits event to be such, I predict one of the previous Special Events series from the Weekly Challenges will be one of the new Menu Books and available full-time in the World Circuits (though not necessarily at any of the 3 tracks they had been at).

Question, although I'm not entirely sure this is the best thread for it or if it belongs in the whishlist one. But with the pattern of completing full generation models, what are the odds of a new RX7 being added to the game, specifically the Efini RX-7 or the Mazda RX-7 GT-Turbo only seen in GT2?

Mods feel free to move this post to whichever thread it may fit if it does not belong in here.

Seems like good reasoning to me, and I'd concur it seems more likely than at some point not given the multiple RX-7s in previous titles too.

It was six months ago this was announced:

Hyundai N Announces Gran Turismo Collaboration

Hyundai's specialist motorsport and performance division, N, has announced that it plans to collaborate with Gran Turismo for "various sim racing activities". The announcement coincides with this weekend's Nurburgring 24 Hours, in which Hyundai will be seeking to defend its TCR category title --

If we still see six month car model turnarounds, could be time to see this in the game.

That's my reasoning, also it will give a little boost to the JDM cars from the '80s already in game if it were the GT-Turbo. Plus, it'll be good for another Extra Menu, the RX-7 family.

Time is an illusion. It was 32 months ago that Dai Yoshihara's Pikes Peak Tesla Model 3 was used in a GT7 trailer with a note stating the Model 3 was "to be provided in a future update". If the road-going Model 3 Performance added in Spec II counts to satisfy that claim, it took 20 months to fulfil, otherwise we're still waiting. As the Hyundai N cars mentioned are also PPIHC-adjacent, I'd say the model turnaround time is irrelevant for us; the cars will sit finished and ready for twice as many months as you'd expect, plus eight more, multiplied by an imaginary number while PD waits for "Pikes Peak Time".

It's times like these that make me miss Nenkai the most.

@TheAdmiester can maybe give a hint 🤔

For what? I only seem to remember dataminers confirming the cars behind the silhouettes.

 

[happycorey]

Nenkai and the others that are active in the modding/data mine community are aware of the future update because it's typically in the current update file. They haven't really said anything anymore or feed into the speculation, aside from that guy who magically guessed the last three cars (and mentioned he leaked them because they were insignificant) lol

Nenkai has retired and the last guy who posted only knew them because we didn't keep our mouths shut about it in the public GT Discord!

The only thing I will say (as it has been said anyway) is that none of the cars are in the datamine list.

2 or more cars update confirmed

 

[Rossell2]

I wouldn't mind none of them being in the data mine list but that rules out the 812 😭

That was a promotion for GT7, while the Hyundai is a collaboration. We’ve seen collaborations announced and then six months later(and some sooner) a car is added from the announcement. Of course those of us without the data don’t know if any cars are coming. However, partnerships and collaborations seem to pan out in certain time frames.

As a side, it’s like when Kaz said Formula e would come to the franchise at some point. Still waiting.
