Gran Turismo 7: Update & Three New Cars Coming this Week

As the month of May nears its end, Gran Turismo 7 is due for another update, and PlayStation racers can look forward to three new cars that are going to be introduced with it: Gran Turismo producer Kaz Yamauchi took to Twitter to tease the trio of new vehicles set for release this week.

While the teaser image does not reveal many details, the silhouttes of the upcoming cars can be made out. Of course, the community wasted no time in determining what they actually are - which was not easy in each case.


The one vehicle that can be determined with relative certainty is in the front left of the image Yamauchi posted. as it shows the most detail: Having won the Gran Turismo Award at the 2018 SEMA, the 1971 Ford Maverick custom built by the Greening Auto Company will join the GT7 ranks in all its 1200hp glory. Contrary to what the model year of the base car might imply, you can expect some serious peformance from this machine.

To the right, the unmistakable outlines of a Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 can be spotted. A GT-R V-spec II is already in the game, so GT7 fans can expect a different version of the car - possibly with more racing links than the road-going GT-R that is already present?

Finally, the silhouette in the back strongly hints at an Alfa Romeo Giulia. While a modern version of the car has been introduced to GT7 as part of the v1.27 update of late 2022, the vehicle in question is decidedly more vintage when it comes to its contours. Specifically, the version shown could be a Giulia Sprint GT, which was produced from 1963 to 1976.

Meanwhile, other elements of the incoming update are not known yet, so Polyphony Digital and Sony might have even more up their sleeves on the content front.
