That was the first thing I went to check, as I had a feeling it was one of the cars in that list. But, given that that list had 80 cars, and if they plan to add every single one to GT7, it will take them ~26 months to add them all, if they keep this rate of 3 cars per month. Hopefully they step up their game, as they can't keep adding niche cars and/or VGTs in those small updates.
For sure. Right now there's the nostalgia fueled hype, but eventually will become just another "nice to have" car.

Suzuki Escudo is definitely a very welcome car to the game. It's part of the game's history itself. Shame however, it has nothing else in the game to compete against... Unless it's a Gr.B car that gets nerfed to hell with BoP to stay competitive.
However and most importantly:
-Will we be able to sell cars?
-Will engine swaps and rare car parts be removed from the rigged roulette and be much more acessible for everyone to enjoy them?
-Will we finally have events with payouts that exceed 3 million per hour and are not repetivive?
-Will we be able to sell cars?
...
Oh and of course:
Will we finally be able to sell cars???
And VGTs can go to hell. If I wanted to use fantasy cars I play Wipeout or some arcade game. Hopefully the car in the list that is not the Escudo and the Ford, is not a VGT, but it seems like it's going to be one... *sigh

Every Gran Turismo 7 update will have 3 new cars each, no more than that. And the christmas update this year I predict be dissapointing as well. THere will be no more updates with 6-8 cars because the car models in Gran Turismo 7 are even higher quality than Gran Turismo Sport. THe new car models in Gran Turismo 7 are NOT the same as Gran Turismo Sport.

It's the Suzuki VGT Gr.3. We knew it was coming.

What exactly are you basing that on?

Likely because of the Tuning Shop and GT Auto customization. Upgradable parts have to be factored into both appearance and performance for each car, which wasn’t a thing in GT Sport.
Still, just three cars per month is pretty underwhelming. Especially when so few of the additions so far have been the type of road cars making GT popular in the first place. Stuff like the Escudo is proper nostalgia, but usability is quite limited.

They can get maybe 4 or 5 cars per month once they finally fix all the other issues in the game. But yes, I don't think more than 5 cars will ever be possible for PD unless it's a one-time thing.

Pretty much as close to 100% as we can get without them naming it. They said it would come soon last month, and it looks like a racing version of the road car.
I'm not opposed to more gr3 cars, whether that be fantasy or real. Variety in the fields are always appreciated. Both however, are worthless if they're not competitive.

That would be pretty cool, I bet there will be 3 cars the next month, the next month, and then after that. I think 3 cars a month is underwhelming.
GTS was already 4K on PS4 Pro.
So again, what makes you say they're even more detailed?
Probably because Suzuki did something like this, wanting to be part of the world series.

I mean, I’d argue there’s a pretty big shortage of up-to-date cars in both road (economy and sports/exotic) and the main racing categories. Big offenders being Ferrari and BMW, which are about to be 2 iterations old, with the 458’s successor about to be replaced by the 296, and the M4 being the current GT platform IRL, which succeeded the M8, which succeeded the M6 we’re still currently operating with. These would seem like they’d still be important with GT7 still carrying on Sport’s esports and competitive modes, which make majority use of the main racing categories.
Ignoring pure fantasy entries:
Aston Martin: Gr. 3 is 10+ years old, and has been succeeded.
Audi: Gr. 3 up to date, but there’s a GT4 R8 in it’s 3rd year of racing now.
BMW: As mentioned, 2 iterations behind, but also the M4 Gr. 4 car is based on a fairly old platform.
Chevy: C8 Corvette is now in it’s 3rd year of racing.
Dodge: “Up to date”, however they haven’t been making new GT race cars.
Ford: Sport launched over a year and a half after the new GTLM started racing, and left us with a fantasy Mustang - and then introduced the 2005 GT after the modern car stopped racing, which only got added with the launch of 7. So “up to date”, but very late to be so and no longer accurate.
Honda: Up to date.
Lamborghini: The Huracan is about to receive it’s 2nd update over the iteration we have.
Lexus: Up to date.
Mclaren: They now operate with the 720 in GT3, and 570 in GT4, and have so for at least four years. We still have only the 650 in both.
Mercedes: GR. 3 fairly up to date, but we’re still running the SLS in Gr. 4.
Nissan: The GTR GT3 is nearly 10 years old, and was raced to at least 2018, and no Z platform was ever represented.
Porsche: Gr. 3 is a generation old.
Renault/Alpine: An A110 GT4 has been around for 4 years, and it’s not like PD hasn’t already added more fictional race cars to expand the manufactures cup (Genesis and Suzuki).
Subaru: BRZ GT300 actually makes this up to date.
Toyota: A lot of asterisks here, with the GR. 4 being a fictional creation when an actual GT4 existed, and the GR. 3 being a concept. There’s still Supra variants running in Super GT, but with seemingly a lot of new real world GT cars coming up from the brand I feel like I can give this one a pass.
There’s a lot of things that need fixing in this game, but I don’t know why the people responsible for squashing bugs, adjusting economy balance, adding events, or making tracks would be slowing down the car department. At this rate there’d only be 36 cars added by March 2023, and we got nearly that many in the first 3 months of GT Sport.
I’m more confused than anything.

Right, OK, that clears it up.
Oh don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that the car list is very lacking right now. But we live in a world where numbers are all a lot of people care about, and the game is already offering 420 cars. On paper, that's enough for PD to get away with not adding tons more.
I don't think the production speed per car has slowed down, but they have either reduced their overall number of car modellers post release or they're simply holding cars back for that bigger impact number on GT8 release.

For nostalgic reasons, the Escudo will cost 2.147.483.647 Cr. Better start milking that Sardegna race folks.

I'll be very happy to smash my Gr.B lap records on Fishy Ranch with the Pikes Peak Escudo, of course, there's still that elephant in the room, is the PPIHC coming now/this year/any point in GT7's lifespan?
The continuing trios of cars lead me to believe they're releasing as few as possible to make a big ≈800 car debut in GT8. The tiny campaign and general lack of features also contribute to the feeling that I've bought into a fundraiser for a theoretical "most complete Gran Turismo to date" that isn't this game, but there's plenty of time to correct course.
The gap in the racing calendar makes me think we'll get a road course instead of (or in addition to, if we're incredibly lucky) Pikes Peak. Whether this road course is Apricot Hill, Road Atlanta, or a mystery from left field remains to be seen.

I doubt that’s why. PD used to be obsessed with numbers, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t be nowadays having been surpassed by the competition and so on.
Like I said above, it might just be that it has become harder for them to include as many cars as they did before. Keep in mind how something rather basic like upgrading the exhaust changes the sound of cars for each type of exhaust, and installing something like a manifold adds yet another dimension to the audio. That’s just one example of complexity GT Sport did not have.

gonna be that guy but GT wasnt 4K on PS4 pro it was checkerboarded 1800p so 1600x1800p to make a 3200x1800p image then upscaled to “4k”.GTS was already 4K on PS4 Pro.
So again, what makes you say they're even more detailed?
