Gran Turismo 7 Update Arrives Next Week, With Three New Cars

[McLaren]

On the GT3 and hypercar point: I don't know why PD haven't added successful, winning cars like the 499P or the 963 or the 296 GT3 yet. Maybe they are working on them, maybe they aren't, I have zero way of knowing.

But beyond those, I think @Nielsen is right when he says PD currently like adding cars that have stories to tell. And cars like the BMW M Hybrid or the Lambo SC63 or the new Mustang GT3 have no story yet, they've done nothing interesting except show up and be current. So I genuinely think PD have no interest in them currently until they win something or do something interesting.

They likely haven't added them for the same reason the other cars you listed haven't been added. They're all quite fairly recent racing cars that other games like iRacing & LeMans Ultimate secured rights to first. Then, there's Forza building out its Hypercar roster with them as well, so there's a possibility they've also been getting some time securing them ahead of PD.

I doubt PD is taking any "story" into account with them by not including them & more so, licensing agreements & PD's investment in heavy attention to detail modeling before then deciding where they'll fit into PD's release schedule.

In all fairness, I had anticipated the exact same thing would hold true for the GT-One and Castrol NSX, until both appeared in otherwise completely humdrum updates last year.

Who knows, maybe we'll see the R390 show up this year. And then in black as a Special Pick.

Wasn’t the castrol nsx in the datamine list though?

The Z4 should be available in Brand Central

So I buy the cars, and then what? Oh Joy!!! Yay.. Please add something challenging to the game, worthy of even starting my PlayStation
