If you were wondering if Gran Turismo 7 will get a content update this month, wonder no more. Over the weekend, Kazunori Yamauchi shared his traditional teaser on X, confirming that three new cars are coming to GT7 this week in update 1.43.
Kazunori teases 3 new cars for Gran Turismo 7 update 1.43
In a post on X, Yamauchi shared silhouettes of three cars heading to GT7 this week in update 1.43. Rather than a static image like usual, the cars are shown in a slick video animation. The models aren't confirmed yet, inviting fans to guess their identities.
The car at the top is clearly a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. GT7 already has the Evolution III, IV, V, VI, and X, but a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-shot of the number plate confirms it’s an IX, built between 2005 and 2007 before the Evo was discontinued with the tenth-generation model.
At the bottom left, the boxy silhouette appears to resemble a Renault 4. First launched in 1961, the 4 was Renault's response to the ubiquitous Citroen 2CV. Finally, the car on the bottom right has the distinctive shape of an Audi TT. It appears to be the sporty second-generation TTS.
While the Evolution IX and TTS will be returning from Gran Turismo 6, the Renault 4 will make its series debut. Alongside these three cars, the Aluminium Vision GT from luxury watchmaker Bulgari will be available to all players after being exclusively available to those who bought the accompanying watch.
Expected release date
Update 1.43 will roll out this week according to Yamauchi, but the release date is yet to be confirmed. However, given that GT7 updates are usually released on the last Thursday of the month, we’re expecting update 1.43 to arrive on 29 February. This will be the second GT7 update of 2024 following update 1.42 in January.
As for what else to expect in update 1.43, we’ll likely get a new set of GT Café Menu Books, World Circuit races, and Scape photo locations. We’re also hoping for some new tracks to race on.
GT7 celebrates its second anniversary on 4 March, this week's could have some surprises to celebrate the occassion. All will be revealed soon.
