So the upcoming S2000 won't be the 2006 premium model from GT5/6? Interesting...

Regarding the current silhouette teaser, I've seen some speculate the 22B. Have these people not played the game since last summer?

I hope we get the AP2 s2000 at some point.

It is neither one...
Confirmed by me, visually, I don't see it how it could be the Levin... The shape of the car may match, but the headlight is still throwing shades at me....
Of course I could be wrong....

Oh, I was hoping you had an actual source. I'd avoid saying something is 'confirmed' unless you actually have something to back it up.

So then, by the usual use of the word "confirmed" in the usual context of this thread, being that it requires something official from Kaz, Polyphony, or GTP, it is not confirmed.
I'd rather it not be the Levin since we have the Trueno, and I'm sure it's not... but I've tried and failed to match it to literally every JDM car from 1978-1995 that would be of a similar shape, and even considered ridiculous oddballs it'd clearly never be like the Nissan Auster JX Hatchback (and everything in between, such as the Mitsubishi Cordia, Subaru Leone Coupe, Nissan Langley, Toyota Celica XX, etc.).
Despite the lighting, bonnet angle and everything below the bonnet and leading edge not matching, the Levin is the best candidate we have right now, followed by the Isuzu Piazza or Piazza Nero (still not a total match but it's about as close as the Levin), and maybe the later AE92 Levin/Trueno.
What's causing any match to fail is what the shadowy lighting shows to be the backward angle and harsh/weird baseline of the headlight, a prominent grille edge (a top edge halfway up the headlamp height) or crossbar, and a separate indicator light/shape signature on the front wing before the wheel but behind the headlamp.
Of course, there's the possibility it's not JDM at all - but the shape doesn't lend itself to that possibility very well. It's too small a car to be American, based on its proportions being similar to the AE86 Trueno, and it doesn't match the appropriate European big-hitters of the time.

These are the cars that made my childhood happy, I loved GTO (3000GT) and I'm curious to see what the new Impreza GC8 will be (We'll get a correct Bunta replica!). Glad of this update I am very confident that we will also get Starion and S13 (180/240SX) in the future.
A little note of mine: Personally, I feel my 22B so empty without a counterpart like Mitsu TME, I need it so much... If I remember correctly we had a Premium in GT5?

I was just trying to be funny and lighten up the situation around here....
Everyone is so serious...
But I still stand by my prognostic... I don't think it either cars...
I find it interesting that despite the wealth of knowledge here, we are still not able to make it out lol...

Yeah, I really don't want it to be the Levin but I'm resigned to wonder if their lighting model for the shadowy teaser is just hitting the front of it strangely, creating shapes with the light that maybe aren't actually there but are just reflected oddly inside the headlamp unit and the plastic grille.
I’m going to say that the piazza actually fits the mould so much better than the levin.
And given the fact it has appeared before in the franchise most recently being gt6 in XE form, I’m putting it at the front of the running candidates.
Hilarious seeing some other guesses. Some stuff is just not even close

That's a League of Legends team.
Half the cars in GT Sport are N-class cars. What do either of these things have to do with the update?
The roof's leading edge moves the wrong way in the silhouette compared to the blueprint, and the rear edge changes where it doesn't in the blueprint.

It's probably a silly suggestion, but I don't suppose it could be an S12 Silvia?
I had one years ago and I really enjoyed it. With a 1.8 turbo engine, it was good fun, but I don't remember ever seeing one in any version of GT.

I'd put that down to blue prints of the era not being 100% accurate (or my resizing and realigning of them), and the anti-aliasing caused by the small silhouette image being resized and the fact the lighting in the two silhouette images is different to begin with. Even with that in mind, I think there's too many things that match, that are ridiculously unlikely to match up by coincidence if the model doesn't use the same bodyshell as the Trueno. I'm certainly not an expert in old Toyota's, so if there's other models that would fit that bill, I'd accept it's not a Levin.

I'm liking the S2000 in this update, the good ol' fashioned AP1. It's even more powerful than the premium AP2, and thus, will be an N300-class car. Which could likely be the Honda S2000 '99.
As for the others, I can probably try to predict what the others might be:
Isuzu Piazza XE '81 (N100)
Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo '96 (N300)
Nissan Silvia K's (S13) '91 (N200)
Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI Version VI '99 (N300)

Even so, the Levin's windscreen is shorter than the Trueno but Mystery Middle Car's is longer, while the Levin's roof is the same length but MMC's is longer at the rear.
If they were moving synchronously the wrong way it'd be fine, but they're moving in opposite directions.
I'll let @homeforsummer post up that 1980s coupe image - he's probably got it under a hotkey somewhere

It is good to finally see an entire update's content not being spoiled by leaks, even though I'm not happy with this month's selection to be completely honest.

Mystery car also looks like it has a separate side marker behind the headlights.Even so, the Levin's windscreen is shorter than the Trueno but Mystery Middle Car's is longer, while the Levin's roof is the same length but MMC's is longer at the rear.

That's entirely in Spanish...

Could the new to GT circuit be Shanghai? PD were there about 24 years ago so it's about time.
