Gran Turismo 7 could use a few more sedans. So I picked five that I would personally find to be interesting and worthy inclusions.

Toyota Carina 1600GT

Built on the same chassis as the original Celica to save production costs this was a fairly sporty sedan in Toyota's line up especially in 1600GT trim which gave it the same engine as the then top of the line Celica. And with Carina being only a fraction bigger and heavier than it's coupé sibling it offered similar performance with increased practicality.

Peugeot 405 T16

Most people are familiar with the 405 Mi16 and the T16 Pikes Peak special but lesser known is the T16 road car. Unlike it's Mi16 counterpart this ditched the FWD for a permanent 4WD system and turbo charged it's engine to a respectable 220hp.

Volvo 242 Turbo Group A “Flathood”

A special version of the 242 Turbo homologated for group A touring cars. It's a big brick turbocharged to win touring car races. Which it did against cars with bigger 6 and 8 cylinder engines sweeping the 1985 European Touring Car Driver's Championship.

Subaru Legacy RS

The first Subaru Legacy, the first STi car, the first car used by Subaru World Rally Team, the first Subaru to get a WRC win and the car in which Colin McRae won his first WRC event aswell as three concecutive BRCs. Undoubtebly overshadowed by it's contemporaries like Delta Intergrale and Escort Cosworth and also it's younger more successful brother the Impreza, the Legacy still holds an incredibly important place in Subaru's history.

Mercedes Benz 500E

W124 is by modern standards small. It's even smaller than the newest Civic. And this version of it has a naturally aspirated 5 liter V8, updated chassis, brakes and the lot all to demolish BMW's M5. Which it did with by not only out accelerating but out cornering and braking it as well. And yet the wider wheel arches aside it hardly shows it, it's an incredibly understated car lacking any spoilers, scoops or sports kitted bumpers that would give away it's evil intentions. And the cost of all this? 35% more than the equivalent era M5.

One of, if not the, favourite road car of mine. Beautiful car.
 
Considering every new Gran Turismo seems to have a thing with the Honda Civic (we have the new FK8 and two EK9's), here's one particular model that Polyphony should be interested in:

Honda Civic Si Coupe (EM1) '99

"The 1999 Honda Civic Si Coupe is said to be the most expensive, most fascinating and most desirable Honda Civic ever made, even exceeding its Japanese Type R cousins, given that it is also hard to find one stock and in pristine condition, and has appeared in many forms of pop culture such as the Fast and the Furious movies, and video games such as Need For Speed and Forza, but is yet to appear in Gran Turismo.

This particular Civic was never sold in its native Japan, being a US-spec model only, but to some Civic and Japanese sports car enthusiasts, this could be considered the ultimate example of its kind, given its cult-like status, almost limitless customization possibilities and the fact that just like in its pop culture appearances, it was infamously associated with American street racing and tuner scene during its production run. One particular example in pristine condition is said to have been sold for more than $50,000 in an auction, so expect the price of this Civic in the Used Car Dealership of GT7 to nearly match that. There have also been some models with a wing straight from the factory, but the most iconic example is the wingless version as seen on the photo below."

From the current lineup of 420 or so cars it is clear that recent cars are much lacking, for regular cars as well as racers. I hope and assume that this will be a focus for updates after launch.
 
With every new step-up in technology it apparently takes more and more time to model a car, and new cars keep on coming while old ones don't disappear or become less desirable. There are so many great suggestions here, but who is going to model all that? Just thinking out loud.

Nahh the newer one from 1998 it's much better looking and it won Le Mans 🙂

Gotcha, it's fine if you prefer that. I was just showing what you'll probably get at the moment. Sadly, you're probably going to have to stick with Project Cars 2 or Automobilista 2 if you want to drive a 996 GT1 race car.

Great suggestions! Now how about three American sport sedans?

Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Quad 442 W41 '91

939172e14703a2f43ddde0cdda25f5c9.jpg


Reintroduced after a short hiatus following the discontinuation of the rear-wheel drive G-body Cutlass Supreme, Oldsmobile's high performance 442 moniker returned for the 1990 model year. However, the revival was embroiled in controversy, as the designation that was always synonymous with V8, FR muscle cars was applied to a four-cylinder version of the front-wheel drive N-body Cutlass Calais.

But what a version it was! Power came from a high output version of the Oldsmobile-designed Quad4, a 2.3L DOHC 16-valve inline-four rated at an impressive 180 naturally aspirated horsepower. A mandatory 5-speed manual transaxle, upgraded suspension and other chassis components, and gold striping on the body side mouldings distinguished Quad 442s from other Cutlass Calais coupes. It was a credible performer, but there was more to come for 1991 in the form of the Quad 442 W41. The Quad4 was massaged to yield an extra 10 horsepower (190 in all), while the transmission was treated to revised ratios for even sharper performance. The W41 was easily identifiable by its stripes, which were silver rather than the gold of standard, W40 specification Quad 442s.

The result was an all-American sport compact that could hold its own against some of the world's best...and it frequently did, winning races and championships in IMSA and SCCA sanctioned showroom stock series. The same W41 formula was largely carried to its successor, the 1992-'93 Achieva SCX, but 1991 would mark the final and, arguably, most interesting time Oldsmobile would use the hallowed 442 name on a production model.

Ford Taurus SHO '90

596361.jpg


When it debuted for the 1986 model year, the Ford Taurus (and its Mercury companion, the Sable) marked a seismic shift in the design of the American family car. Here was a mid-size sedan and station wagon that coupled a smooth, European-influenced shape with the inherent packaging advantages of a transverse FF powertrain layout and strong value for money. Unsurprising, then, that the Taurus was an instant hit.

Having won over mainstream buyers, Ford decided to court enthusiast drivers with a special sports version of the Taurus sedan. Enter Taurus SHO, the SHO standing for Super High Output. That potency, all 220 horsepower of it, came courtesy of a 3.0L DOHC 24-valve V6 designed and built in Japan by Yamaha. That engine was matched exclusively to a heavy duty 5-speed manual transaxle from longtime Ford ally Mazda, while suspension enhancements, more aggressive lower body styling and body-hugging front bucket seats were among the other changes implemented.

While naturally not the same kind of sales success as standard Taurus models, the SHO nevertheless picked up a passionate following, eventually being a part of the Taurus model lineup in three subsequent generations.

Dodge Spirit R/T '92

HMN0819-ASX-01.jpg


The Chrysler Corporation was quick to embrace turbocharging in the early 1980s, largely out of necessity: Lacking a six-cylinder engine suitable for installation in the transverse FF Dodge and Plymouth K-Cars and their numerous offshoots, America's third largest car company was ahead of General Motors and Ford implementing forced induction across a large portion of its product line, from luxury sedans to sport coupes and, yes, even minivans!

But by the dawn of the 1990s, Chrysler's Detroit rivals had closed the front-drive power gap, largely by way of DOHC multivalve engines. Chrysler responded with a high performance version of the mid-size Dodge Spirit sedan that revived the marque's R/T (Road/Track) moniker from the heydays of the muscle car. The Spirit R/T's engine – known as the Turbo III – combined turbocharging with a DOHC 16-valve head designed by Lotus, the British firm ironically being under the ownership of GM at the time. In any event, the 2.2L inline-four was rated at 224 horsepower, the most of any American sedan produced at that time. A heavy duty 5-speed manual transaxle, chassis upgrades and a monochromatic exterior with a tasteful body kit were also present.

Just 1,399 of these potent 4-doors were produced over a two-year period. However, they arguably paved the way for not only the turbocharged SRT-4 and Caliber SRT-4 that followed, but also Chrysler's V8, FR performance car revival of the 2000s.
