Gran Turismo 7’s 1.52 Update Adds Three More Cars

It’s been a fair while now since the last Gran Turismo 7 update, with July marking the last. That was a big one, bringing with it six new cars, Eiger Nordwand and hilarious but since-patched physics bugs. That break between updates will come to an end this week, with 1.52 set to land on Thursday.

Three cars – well, technically two and a van – will be coming to the game as part of a relatively small update. No surprise, really, as we’re set for a big one in November with the launch of the PS5 Pro.

2024 Nissan GT-R T-Spec, Gran Turismo 7

The most potent of the cars on offer is the 2024 R35 Nissan GT-R T-Spec, one of the very last of the R35s.

It doesn’t bring with it any changes to the VR38DETT, but rather new bumpers, a revised rear wing and a freshened interior. Interestingly, Polyphony Digital has opted not to go for the last Nismo this time around – although we’d expect that to crop up in a GT game at some stage.

Joining that is the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GSR. A slightly unusual inclusion, as a IX was only added a few months ago, but still a cool bit of kit nonetheless.

Finally, the one we’re most excited about – the 2016 Toyota Hiace DX. Yes, a straight-up box van. It’s also not all that strange considering the HiMedic ambulance is already available in the game, but it is the first proper van in GT7.

There’s a slight helping of extra content coming too, but not masses. Three more races will be added to the game’s ‘World Circuits’, while Brands Hatch and Dragon Tail Seaside will get support for Sony’s SophyAI in quick races.

Any extra additions will be revealed by a full set of patch notes accompanying the release of 1.52, which will arrive for free on Thursday morning.
