Three weeks after Gran Turismo 7’s last update, it looks like Polyphony Digital is adding four new cars to their racing simulator. This free update will likely include a handful of performance patches as well. But we’re all here for the cars, right?

Yamauchi has developed quite the habit of announcing Gran Turismo 7 updates in this fashion. One stroll through his replies shows some voicing concerns about the game needing fewer cars and more events. Some lament the addition of more Nissan GT-Rs, and others simply guess what they think the silhouetted cars might be.
According to GT Planet’s Andrew Evans, these four new cars appear to be a 1973 Nissan Skyline GT-R, a fourth-generation Mazda MX-5/Roadster, a Nissan GT-R GT3, and a Maserati Merak. Personally, I’m a huge Mazda fan and can’t wait to have more MX-5’s to drive in Gran Turismo 7. However, I won’t turn my nose up at a couple of GT-R’s.
Gran Turismo 7 is one of my favorite games of 2022. Despite some microtransaction controversy, I’ve returned to the wheel-well consistently and am always staggered by Polyphony Digital’s immaculate presentation. Previously, I felt like racing simulators were too tricky and was surprised by how accessible Gran Turismo 7 is. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way, and the fervent audience is a great indication of that fact. It’s nice to see so many people enjoying a racing simulator.
