Oh me too. I’d be all in on a monthly pay model if they offered proper race cars every month and a new track at least every other month. Silverstone and the like. The updated GT3 cars, Hyper cars, IMSA standards, etc…. A monetary commitment would require value for the investment and why PD would probably never do it.

I like free updates but the two tracks we got were yawns and the cars have not been anywhere near good.
I would also pay more for more of the stuff I deem important, but not monthly only a one-time DLC but for changing the parameters&rules in the game. PP, tire choice, tire wear, fuel consumption, starting place etc.
 
Especially since based on this website's voting for member suggested cars, most of the highest voted cars have been added to GT7. I guess it makes sense if PD visit this website and are indeed giving the players what they want.

Maybe more members can vote for the ones they "really" want. I guess...
 
To clarify my statement "not old cars again".

Here are the cars from GT7 that are no older than 7 years:

Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series '20
Mercedes-AMG GT3 '20
Valkyrie ‘21
R8 LMS Evo '19
RS 5 Turbo DTM ‘19
M2 Competition '18
Camaro ZL1 1LE Package '18
Corvette C7 ZR1 '19
Challenger SRT Demon ’18
F8 Tributo '19
Focus RS '18
Ford GT Race Car '18
Red Bull X2019 Competition '19
Urus ‘18
GT-R Nismo GT3 ‘18
GT-R Premium edition T-spec '24
Z Performance '23
Mission X '23
Taycan Turbo S '19
BRZ STI Sport '18
BRZ GT300 '21
BRZ S '21
Suzuki Jimny Sierra JC '18
Jimny XC '18
Model 3 Performance ’23
Alphard Executive Lounge '18
Ambulance Himedic ’21
C-HR S ‘18
GR010 Hybrid '21
GR86 RZ '21
GR Corolla MORIZO Edition ‘22
GR Supra (Nürburgring '19 Livery)
GR Supra Racing Concept '18
GR Supra RZ '19
GR Supra RZ '20
GR Yaris "High Performance" '20
Tundra TRD Pro '19

Of over 500 cars, only 37 are 7 years old or younger. I have ignored VGTs.

If I now look at which cars are no older than 5 years, the list shrinks even further. Then only 15 cars remain and of those maybe 9 or 10 are road cars.

Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series '20
Mercedes-AMG GT3 '20
Valkyrie ‘21
GT-R Premium edition T-spec '24
Z Performance '23
Mission X '23
BRZ GT300 '21
BRZ S '21
Model 3 Performance ’23
Ambulance Himedic ’21
GR010 Hybrid '21
GR86 RZ '21
GR Corolla MORIZO Edition ‘22
GR Supra RZ '20
GR Yaris "High Performance" '20

So it's no comparison with the first GTs, where the list of current cars was significantly larger. Of course I like a Nissan Skiline or Mitsubishi Lancer etc., but like back then, I much prefer to see what's currently on the road.

The HiMedic/HiAce is more questionable when you consider the cars haven't mostly changed since the 2000s. On the other hand however, they actually added more cars from 2020s (and less 2000s cars) that people think:

Statistic excludes cars without a defined model year (F3500-A, Mazda3 Gr.4, SEMA cars) or VGTs, and treats the SF23s as one car (as they arrived in the same update; had the VGTs also count, this would also apply to the Exeneo). Afeela is also included in this stat.

EDIT: 2020s stat amended to account for the Giulia GTAm, which was missing in the original count.

You are missing at least Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm '20, Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray '20 and Hyundai Ioniq 5N '24. I'd also count Afeela Prototype (2024).

Edit:

Actually a lot more: Genesis G70 '22, two Honda Civic Type R's: FK8 '20 and FL5 '22, Maserati MC20 '20, Mazda Roadster NR-A '22, two Porsche 911's: Turbo S '20 and GT3 RS '22. Checked just 2020s cars, so there could be a few missing from '18 or '19.

If you ask 50 different people "what types of cars are the best fits for Gran Turismo", you'll get at least 35 different answers. It's not a question with a correct answer.

It's why I personally think they'd be better off with fewer but bigger updates. It's impossible to cover the whole fanbase's wants in three cars, so every update a decent portion of players will look at the silhouettes and go "doesn't have <X> type of car, nothing for me there" and be disappointed. And that's before you factor in divisive surprises like the Unimog or the Himedic or VGTs.
 
Okay, the list I got the cars from was apparently not up to date.
However, there are still some current vehicles missing.
Especially station wagons.

By the way, a car that is 20 years old is considered a youngtimer in Germany and a car that is 30 years old is considered a vintage car.
That means that for me, all cars built in 2005 and before are already old. ;)
 
Server Maintenance Notice is out:

Server Maintenance Notice (Feb 27, 2025)​

Gran Turismo 7's servers will undergo maintenance during the following period:

[Day & Time]

Also, game progress cannot be saved while the servers are offline. To save the current status of the game, the console must be reconnected online after the end of the server maintenance.

Thank you for your patience.

Let's wait for what will really be the Unimog, characteristics, specs, modifications and so on...
However this is in line with the "philosophy" of the game.

Did you forget this amazing car in GT4 capable to reach the astonishing max speed of 11mph (17.7 km/h) ?

The Unimog will be much faster for sure... :D

I need this back in 4k. Complete with the goofy headgear and goggles. :lol:
 
I’m all for having older cars and the quirky stuff but if you’re also trying to be an esports game which mainly involves gr3 cars then i think you need to have a more update roster. By the time the asian games event takes place a lot of the cars will be well over ten years old.

Have anyone take note if any manufacturers have complained about the model years of their race cars represented in GT7?

Not just that, the X2019 - Nations Cup's signature original race car - is now six years old. Problem is, what they replace it with? I don't see the F3500-A being a suitable replacement, and Newey has left Red Bull to join Aston Martin.

I don't think there's as much pressure there from the manufacturers as people would maybe like there to be.

Up to date road cars, maybe I could see complaints about not being able to market cars they want players to take note of and maybe buy. But there's really not much difference to, say, McLaren which flavour of GT3 car is being raced in a game they don't promote and isn't officially an officially licensed GT3 series, just being there at all is the lion's share of the marketing benefit they get.

Also, the Valkyrie, GR010, BRZ GT300...
Obviously there could be a LOT more to add in the game.
I’m not… I’m asking other than those. Cars that are not in the game

Which is my point. Are manufacturers going to block Polyphony Digital for not using an updated car during the e-sports event next year? Probably not.

Hey, depending what category are being used, we could very well get updated cars from now through to September 2026. PD only need to update these GT3 cars:

  • Aston Martin
  • BMW
  • Chevrolet
  • Ferrari
  • Ford
  • Lamborghini
  • McLaren
  • Mercedes-Benz AMG
  • Porsche
  • Toyota/Lexus GR GT3

The races could use anything. One Make Radicals.
