This is the alleged list of recent scans done by PD taken from the video

some of it seems legit , like the leaker predicted the 2019 DTM Audi car
There are some cars on this list that would make sense in later updates while some are abit questionable:
2020 GT500s: If we look at every numbered GT game (and GTS despite it being the outlier), there has always been at least one example of latest GT500 car featured at the time. Given that relationship still exists, I wouldn't put it past PD to give us those 2020 cars (Especially since if you remember, one of the updated GT3 cars IS from 2020) so the timeframe checks out. There's also the fact that the 2016 cars mysteriously have the option for those later spec rear wings (in particular, the NSX and look at its endplates). Where would those have come from? Likewise, I can easily see the Z GT500 being added as despite Nissan not being the darling of PD that Toyota currently is, its worth noting PD got the latest Z road car first.
Mazda RT24-P: Unless Mazda is somehow just as proud of this as they are of the Mazda 787B (A Big race winning car numbered 55 and all), I can't see this being added. Granted, Raceroom also has this and NOT the Cadillac DPi.VR or the Acura ARX-05 (and likewise, iRacing has NONE of the DPis in the six years they existed) so given the on and off representation of DPi, I suppose its kinda possible this is yet another oddball but I'm not exactly counting on it .
BMW M8 GTE/BMW M4 GT3: Given the increase in IMSA related content (Which includes two tracks leaked in GT Sport as well as a certain ford and a livery for the Lexus) and traditionally any WEC content solely being...well Le Mans and the Prototypes, I can see a case for the BMW being another of those Interesting IMSA additions. Its worth remembering that current IMSA/indycar team RLL still have their BMW M8 GTE so the contacts they have in the US have an somewhere to find it right off the bat. Likewise with PD's latest trend of updated GT3 models (The Audi R8 LMS Evo and its customization that transforms it into the Evo II, the 2018 GT-R GT3 Nismo and the 2020 AMG GT3), the BMW M4 GT3 COULD be another and they certainly aren't short of teams to find and scan the car (Though BMW would likely be more then happy to supply them a car directly as they did with the Z4 GT3 AND the M6 GT3).
Ferrari 488 GT3: Again, refer to PD's attempts at updating the GR.3 roster. There's also an added benefit that has already been demonstrated with several cars: The ability to turn the car into another car via GT Auto. Remember that the 488 GT3 was the first GT3 car that could be converted into a GTE car (Hence, a team like Carguy Racing being able to take their GT300 entry from Super GT and show up in the GT AM category in the WEC with ease almost). So this would be another slightly up-to-date addition that makes good use of GT Auto like the Aforementioned R8 LMS Evo does. Given the updated GT3 cars are so far lean very much towards 2020, this could mean they've gotten the Evo version (which in turn, would mean that it could be turned into the GTE Evo)
Aston Martin Vantage GTE: Kinda torn on this one. Part of me feels like this wouldn't be it and if anything, it would be the GT3 being added instead. While this is another car that could be converted into a GT3 car, it isn't quite the straight forward conversion that could be replicated on the Ferrari 488 GT3 as the engine itself is part of that with the GTE car appearing to have a different crank to the GT3 car judging by the difference in sound (A change I don't see as something that could be replicated in game). On the other hand, we already have 2 GTE cars anyway so..maybe. Its abit iffy to be honest.
Corvette C8.R: With this car seemingly being way more available and once again going off the IMSA connection, this might actually be the first time since GT3 we actually get an official Corvette Racing car. I mean the rear wing is already there in GT Auto (Something you can't even argue with the previous PD made Corvette Race cars as they share next to nothing with the cars they seek to slightly mimic) and as is the case with the 2016 Super GT cars able to be equipped with later spec wider wings, where else could that have come from?
2019 DTMs: Again, an iffy one. On one hand, we already have the Audi RS5 Turbo DTM so it would seem to negate the licensing stranglehold that Raceroom had and there would not be a problem with PD getting the other cars (Or anyone else for that matter). On the other hand, are we sure that is going to happen though? With BMW maybe but is PD willing to model a car that literally only showed up for 1 season (Aston Martin Vantage DTM)? From what I can tell, raceroom themselves sure didn't.
Toyota TS010/Toyota TS020: While Toyota has themselves mentioned this car alongside many of its Prototype efforts, there has been (at least from what I have seen) NO game sim or arcade that has ever included the TS010. So in terms of popularity, this might as well not exist to anyone that isn't a Motorsports fan and as such, I question the likely hood of its appearance. Sure Toyota and PD are all Buddy right now but lets recall: Even during their close ties with Nissan, PD never included the Nissan R391 (A car that BEAT the very Toyota TS020 that has benefitted from basically "The Gran Turismo Effect" at the Fuji 1000 KM) so I'm left thinking the same might happen with the TS010 despite it actually being a car competitive enough to win like its later successors. Speaking of Successors: Duh, lol. Its the TS020, AKA "GT-ONE". Its been in every GT game since GT2, Usually in its 1999 guise since THATs the one that gave chase to yet another European rival before..the usual (Toyota and Bad Luck at Le Mans, name a more iconic duo). Overall, one is highly questionable and pretty unknown outside the hardcore Motorsports fan while the other just based on its popularity (and inclusion in other games as well) is not so much a matter of if but when.
A Handful of TCR cars: This alone is beyond vague (which really doesn't help to shed the "Its totally fake" Vibe it gives by not being something found in game data or on PD's Servers (As the Porsche 962 was via the Livery search feature prior to it arriving in GT Sport). Now since TCR is not exclusive to any series and again the IMSA connection, this does leave room for the inclusion of perennial favorites like the Honda Civic and Hyundai I20 (Or is it the Elantra now?). Audi RS 3 TCR and Volkswagen Might be included as well since they more or less are inseparable in game inclusion. At best, a maybe.
BTCC Corolla: As everyone should know by now (and as
@Famine briefly touched upon), Motorsports Games sadly still have a firm grip on the BTCC license (Again, somehow. Maybe Dmitry has those contracts stored in the same place a certain ex-US president had classified documents? Who knows). However, I do pose two questions:
1 - How specific is that contract? Is it like the WEC one in that only Motorsport games can have the names of certain races but it doesn't include the cars OR does it include the cars as well?
2 - What year was that contract agreed upon?
I pose these questions because recall that the WEC license was aquired by MSG a year before PD modelled the Toyota GR010, which suggests that license agreement does not tie down the cars (As is further indicated by the Cadillac V-Series R being shown in both its IMSA AND WEC livery in Forza Motorsport). Depending on the answers, maybe the same can happen with the Corolla (Though it would only have one BTCC track it could play at technically). So this one requires abit of sifting through before I definately have a solid thought on it.
Toyota Yaris WRC: Seeing as we already have the Yaris Road car in-game and given Toyota's push through its Toyota Gazoo Racing brand (Again, Toyota GR010 and various road models, including the Supra and the GR86), this feels like an eventuality that is less mysterious then the Corolla BTCC car. Sure PD hasn't included a recent WRC car since GT5 but there was any manufacturer as keen as wanting to have an updated WRC machine in GT (Especially to go alongside a road car), its Toyota.
Porsche 963: One only has to look at Porsche finally officially showing up in GT Sport to get an idea of the possibility: The Latest LMP1 Hybrid car at the time, the most recent GT4 car at the time and the very much latest GTE car at the time (So new, it proceeded the post LeMans version other devs included). So I can definitely see this showing up in the game as a new GR.1 choice for Porsche, likely showing up in the reveal livery from Goodwood last year (in much the same way the 911 RSR was in its Reveal livery).
Porsche 911 (992) GT3 Cup Car: Given the current relationship with Porsche, This is another inclusion I can see happening (Which could double as another neat IMSA tie-in as well). I mean the Contest currenty being held in North America might likely have this as the standard car for next year should that happen (That or it could be part of a new batch of rotating cars in the contest that might include the 963 and the very next car mentioned here).
Porsche 911 (992) GT3R: Again, another possibility given PD's current track record of updating the GR.3 roster and finally, a proper GT3 car for Porsche too as opposed to pretending the 911 RSR is a GT3 car via the livery editor (You know who you are
@GOTMAXPOWER 
). Jokes aside, this again is possible due to the relationship between and Porsche which has seen a ton of Porsche models included (Which I'm praying includes a certain racing model from 1998, which I have a die-cast of).
Australian V8 Supercars 2022: Highly Doubtful, I really don't see PD doing this. There has been still little to zero representation of Australia in GT sans the Ford Falcon from GT3, the Holden Monaro from GT4 and most recently Bathurst starting in GT6 (And let's be frank, that's purely due more so to the Bathurst 12 Hour which everyone's favorite overused Motorsport category in Sim Racing: GT3). Honestly, ANYONE hoping for anything Australian apart from Bathurst is wasting their time with PD. Hell, I don't even see this happening with the current cars (Certainly, no developers are interested in doing it at the moment). Safe to say that if you want those, get iRacing.
NASCAR: Probably the biggest and most iffy one on the list. Now sure, PD has included NASCAR previously despite only having two actual NASCAR Tracks (Four I guess if you want to count Twin Ring Motegi Oval and Suzuka East Circuit as they did actually race at both), but I at the moment don't see it happening. Granted, NASCAR is currently not pleased with MSG (and sadly appears to be the ONLY Motorsport sanctioning body with any damn spine to bother doing something about it while everyone else isn't) but I don't see them suddenly pivoting for another GT inclusion in once again a game only featuring 2 Nascar tracks
.I am forced not to believe. Over time, PD has forced me to adhere to the Worst-case Scenario Theory when it comes to Gran Turismo updates.
I pretty much am of only two minds with PD which are:
- Have realistic/reasonable expectations or predictions based on previously established patterns (Which more often then not has been very reliable if the update schedule is anything to go by)
- Expect nothing (Can't be wrong OR disappointed if you never expected anything at all. Bonus points if you don't even have the game
)
I mean, if you are only a Gran Turismo fan and not a Motorsport fan above it, then yeah, the Nostalgia the 88C-V brings is undeniable, but, in terms of racing history and significance, the TS010 is a far interesting, and also well known.
Actually, is there any game that has the TS010 in it? The car is immensely underrated for some reason.
As I mentioned above, I don't recall seeing any game that has ever featured it. Its existance seems to be confined to PC mods (old ones last I looked, which are rough..dog rough, y'all)
