Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV Update Release Date
Part 1 of the Spec IV update will go live this Thursday, October 15, 2026. Part 2 will follow a month later, sometime in December.
Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV Part 1 Update Cars
Six new cars will be released for the first Spec IV update of Gran Turismo 7:
- Citroën 2CV Charleston 1986
- Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 1994
- Honda Civic Si Group A Version 1987
- Honda Stepwgn Spada 2023
- Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Evo
- Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo
Of the six, the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 1994 is no doubt the headline. The first of the F355 series, the 1994 Berlinetta, marked a step forward for Ferrari's mid-engined V8 sports cars and became the defining car for the manufacturer in the 90s.
In terms of specs, the fixed-roof classic coupé features a 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 that produces 380 hp.
Xiaomi heads to Gran Turismo once again, but this time with a concept car. With a low, teardrop-shaped cockpit and a cocoon-like interior built around the brand's "Sofa Racer" concept, Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo is designed purely for the game.
Although a physical, full-scale concept model was showcased for VGT, it is not a production car.
Six additional cars will join the game in Part 2 of the Spec IV. One of the confirmed vehicles is the previously announced BMW M5 (E60).
