Gran Turismo 7’s next update arrives this week, with four new cars – GTPlanet
Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to Twitter announce and tease the next update Grand Touring 7which will hit consoles this week.
It arrives a little earlier than expected, landing about three weeks after previous content update September 29. That’s the shortest interval between content updates to date, with most being four or five weeks apart — and, with the exception of 1.15 and 1.17every last Thursday of the month.
Another unusual aspect is that the update, which we’re tentatively calling 1.25, will bring four new cars instead of the three we’ve seen with each update so far:
This set of cars seems relatively easy to identify, albeit with some qualifiers. Probably the simplest is the one in the lower left corner, which looks like a 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R.
Often referred to as “Kenmers” due to the promotional campaign featuring a couple named Ken and Mary, Nissan produced just 197 examples of this car – the last Nissan to be powered by the S20 flat-six – making it one of the rarest GT-Rs. everything. That’s the entry for the Legends Cars dealer.
To the right of it is the Mazda MX-5/Roadster of the fourth generation. It might be a bit of a controversial choice, like GT7 already has an ND model. However, the current car is a 1.5-litre model, so this could be a 2.0-litre variant. With the legendary MX-5s a series of special editionsit will not be possible to determine it precisely until the car is officially revealed.
In the upper right corner we find the updated Nissan GT-R GT3 model. Competing for the first time in 2018, the car used bodywork for the first time since MY17, along with improvements over the 2012 car and its 2015 update.
It’s hard to tell whether the car is the original 2018 version or the less common 2020 Evo, as physical differences were minimal. It can also be a specific team vehicle, such as one of the GT300 cars used in the Super GT series.
Finally, in the upper right corner is the Maserati Merak. This is the V6 derivative of the Maserati Bora, and indeed the two cars are almost identical down to the B-pillar. However, the Merak has a reworked rear end, dictated in part by the different engines, notably including an open rear end with “flying prop” style C-pillars instead of a glass compartment.
Although it’s hard to tell from the silhouettes, it looks like the car is a regular Merak due to the lack of the hood-mounted grille of the higher-performance SS (and the later low-output 2000GT).
These teasers always only include the cars coming in the update, so other content and features are currently unknown. However, players can expect a new track this month, as there seems to be a pattern in the updates so far.
Every other update to date has brought either a new circuit or new layouts on an existing one. May, July and September updates did not include the circle, while April, June and August did. Additionally, the April and August updates added variations to existing tracks — Spa-Francorchamps and Barcelona — with June bringing Watkins Glen as the only all-new track. October therefore seems ripe for a new track.
As for other features and changes, adding a promised feature of car sales is what the community still expects. There will likely be other changes, including a new series of engine swaps and more Cafe Menu books.
We don’t have an exact update date yet, but we expect it to be around Thursday, October 20th.
