Really, really nice. Something of the Porsche GT1 in the shape but your curves are BETTER!

Ok so after a serious roundtable discussion amongst my friends we have determined that the very top left car is indeed an Evo IV

The license plate position and the wing match the Evo IV GSR's in the PS3 Gran Turismos, as well as the grille with its two little points at the bottom.
 
There's the Hyundai which got a every version of a car except Gr. 2. There's a road car, Gr. B, Gr. 4, Gr. 3, even Gr. 1 and Gr. X VGT cars.

Doesn't help me but might give some clues to the better guessers.

Heh, my turn now!

1. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TME SCP '99, my second guess is the Lancer Evolution IV GSR. The headlights and hood match those cars too well. It can't be an Evolution VII as the headlights are too thin here to be anything newer than a 6. For the VII to IX, the grill would have to be wider aswell. Very good either way, Mitsubishi needed some more cars.
2. Most definitely what others have said, the Nissan R92CP Group C race car featured in GT4/5/6 as a standard car, now at last remodeled. It was a matter of time before that got premium treatment that the other Gr.C cars received in the past.
3. It's clearly the prototype Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone featured in GT5 & 6. It makes sense as PD wouldn't have to do as much work to implement that in GT Sport as making a new model. I mean granted, they could tweak the model to be a regular, Miura S. I think that's unlikely however.
4. At first, I couldn't decipher what car this was, I knew it was a supercar or something. However, I can safely say that it's the Sauber Mercedes C9 race car. It was already a premium in GT6, so PD would just have to update the model to be PS4 Pro ready.
5. Yeah, obviously the Fiat 500F '65. I hope people replicate the RMs of it from GT2.
6. It looks like a Renault Megane, the fenders and front bumper lead me to think it's the Trophy Race Car featured in GT6.
7. The front end at first made me think of the Renault Clio, but the taillights looked more like a Ford Fiesta. Now though, I would say it's a Toyota Vitz, probably the Grmn version. I guess PD isn't done with adding Toyotas, heh.
8. They're definately not done, because that looks to me like another 86. Either that or a Subaru BRZ, I'm hoping for the facelifted 86. Otherwise, it's getting a bit redundant. Then again, PD has been known for that in the past.
9. I'm going with what others have said, that's a Jaguar XJR-9 Race Car. It was another premium in GT6 that would be easier to retouch for GTS rather than making a new car model. This would make possibly 3 Group C race cars for this months update, similar to the 3 Super GT cars added for March's update.
 
The most important car in this lineup is the Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone Prototipo as it would be the only Pebble Beach Gran Turismo Award winner in the game and increases the likelihood that the GT5/GT6 era Pebble Beach winners will be included as well (Abarth, the TZ2, the NASCAR-engined Plymouth) along with the alleged new entries (the Ferrari 500 Mondial, the Cunningham, the Aston Martin DB3S, the second Ferrari 330 P3, and the Maserati).

These cars had a very noticeable absence from the game.

I am not completely sold on this being another gt86.

I am way more sold on it being a Stinger GT, but the lip spoiler doesn't match completely, so...
 
The grill is more open and the fenders show more on the BRZ and in the SILHOUETTE.

Headlights do look higher, but we'll see.
 
I'd be flabbergasted if we didn't get Circuit de la Sarthe in the May update, especially with Le Mans 24 Hour set to commence on June 16th. With the forthcoming Group C trio this would make for an excellent tie in. It's basic marketing 101!

Think about it, it would be like getting a trio of Super GT cars and not getting either Motegi or Fuji Speedway, instead getting a totally unrelated track like Tsukuba. Oh wait...

My only gripe with getting Le Mans is the fun factor. Yes it's an iconic track integral to the history of motorsport. But to be frank it's kind of boring. Great start, great finish but a pretty lacklustre middle. Spa (yes I know it's de riguer to clamour for this track but it needs to be said), but man what a circuit. Visually stunning, iconic bends and an equally storied history. It's omission is a major flaw in Gran Turismo Sport.

I hope they add Laguna Seca instead of Le Mans. Everyone would be upset except for me. I mean they could always do one of those mini updates where they add like one car and add it then,
 
I would love any new contents (car/tracks) and other updates (rain), but I'm "surprised" I still don't know all the tracks : BB raceway for example, I always skipped this track until this weekend (daily race, GrB), mostly because the layout looks stupid, I was thinking "another poor oval track for beginners, I won't play this thing"... Big mistake, I found it was a very enjoyable track to race, lot less boring that I would have expected ! Another example, I probably didn't race the new Dragon trail layout more than 5-10 laps, I still have to discover it deeply.

So this is just to say that for a casual gamer, the content is not so thin... But again, I admit I feel the need for updates, because it makes me feel that the game is living, and that "oh, I have to try this brand new stuff !"
Yes more tracks needed
