Thank goodness, another VGT! I thought they had given up on these.

What "predictions"? They're two examples, off the top of my head, of fun Skoda models. Also all generations of all the Skoda RS cars - Fabia, Octavia, Kodiaq, EnyaQ - are badged "vRS" in the UK, due to a thing with Ford (although it's a caron/hacek rather than a "v").
Just to feed this weirdness though:
the Interceptor
Premium

Regarding the Opel vs. Skoda discussion, I'd like to add that what Opel means to you probably depends on when and where and thus which Opels you grew up with. For me, Opels "are" German cars of the GM ownership period, which lasted from before WWII to 2017, when PSA aquired Opel.
I agree that a debate whether one manufacturer has more "right" to appear in Gran Turismo than another is nonsensical. I do however point out that while today's Opels may be Stellantis Group variants, reducing the Opel brand just to "Stellantis clones" is a little unfair. A lot of the cars currently in GT7 are pre-2017, thus there are a lot of intertesting GM-based Opels to add. I think that's what @georgetigra (which I suspect has an Opel Tigra) was trying to point out.

I predict that the update will also bring the Sony prototype, as the Skoda was leaked, and the Sony car was in the same leak as the Skoda.

My thoughts are that this new Škoda VGT will be like the Citroën and Suzuki, we'll have the standard VGT and a racing derivative. I would like that the tracing cars would be gr4 and 3 to have a greater competition (and after reading the Tweet mentioning their entering in esports I understood a will of participating on GT official championship) at the manufacturer series
And, what if this new Škoda came as a replacement of the Red Bull X2019... I don't think so but, who knows...
With Škoda coming, I hope that one day will get one of their historic rally cars like a 130RS, Favorit or even the title-conquering Fabia R5/Rally2... or even the Ferat Vampire😂

ŠKODA VISION GT: a digital design model of an emotive, all-electric racing car - Škoda Storyboard
Mladá Boleslav, 20 September 2022 – ŠKODA Design has reinterpreted the concept of the ŠKODA 1100 OHC from 1957 and is presenting the computer-animated design model VISION GT, a study of an all-electric racing car made in Mladá Boleslav. Alongside its forebear, the design concept is currently on...

Honestly, I really wouldn't hold my breath on the final design of the Škoda VGT. They previously said that despite the name, it had nothing to do with Gran Turismo, but it does now.
The rear does looks very similar to what was seen on the teaser video, and they did mention it was inspired by the 1100 OHC Spider, so maybe they were holding back an announcement?

April 24th is the reveal date, not the update date
Didn't know about the vRS badge in UK, though it was a "special" version of the Octavia.
What I meant with "predictions" was you have chosen 2 specific and very plausible examples of what can come to the game (almost as you know what's coming), considering the Octavia RS is important in Skoda history and a very popular car, and the Fabia GrB can easily replace the WRC version without any licensing problem. Those 2 models would be "logical" and popular addition and would fit greatly in the game.

Would be interesting Škoda entered the Manu championship with the VGT and a Gr.4 based on the Rs2. It’d be like Suzuki entering the Manu with their Gr.3 VGT and Gr.4 Swift.

Lovely shade of green confirmed 🥰 That is one of the best looking VGT cars I've seen so far too. Fingers crossed it has a pretty face, a lot of these VGT's have nice arses but ugly faces (Aston Martin I'm talking about you).
Such a tease! I won't get excited until I see them in the game though, Gran Turismo update hints are to be taken with the same pinch of salt as Team HARD BTCC announcements.

I don't mind if they introduce yet more of these silly massively overpowered and made-up VGTs that look like they were designed by a 7 year old, just as long as they don't ever use them in daily races or the time trials, and as long as they are illegible to run in Gr.1, Gr2, Gr3 & Gr4 races.
Honestly I would prefer to race the Ambulance or another K car than another one of these zillion horsepower monstrosities.

And all others were pointing out to him were that reducing Skodas to just VW Group clones is unfair as they also have a rich pre-VWG motorsport history.

If the Fabia Rally RS Rally2 ever makes it to GT7, watch as it gets thrown into Gr.B.Would be interesting Škoda entered the Manu championship with the VGT and a Gr.4 based on the Rs2. It’d be like Suzuki entering the Manu with their Gr.3 VGT and Gr.4 Swift.

Tracks please and thank you
Skoda brand is coming but not really one of their cars. Just a fake imaginary digital make believe car. Don't get me wrong, I like the VGT cars, but they shouldn't be the only car you bring to the table. I am happy that in GT7 they are assigned a class or left as a PP option as compared to GT Sport where they were X class and you really couldn't use them except as a one make. I would like the game to focus on tracks for a while. Even not very well known tracks from around the world would be nice. PD created tracks or perhaps a simple track creator like GT5 had. Just my thoughts and opinions. Have a great day everyone.

It's an EV and it's got a 4WD drivetrain, neither of which you're allowed to be in Gr.3.personally i dont see that Skoda VGT as Gr.3 plus its electric only , if anything it would been Gr.1
If Skoda do end up in Manufacturers, it'll look like Hyundai's current roster, or Jaguar's Brand Central roster. One road car, Gr.4 and Gr.3 versions of that road car, and then the VGT.

It would be funny if next update ends up being Skoda only🤭🤭🤭

It would be a fiasco if it’s only Fiat and Skoda.
Why not, let it be the VGT plus some more additional „real“ Skoda cars. Wouldn’t be a bad update.

Well, I was figuring out why now. If we look at the history, they celebrated anniversaries last year.

December anniversary gives us about six months time for Škoda and PD to build the car. When adding the article from this post below:
Of course we’ll find out when the concept came about and when development began.
