Gran Turismo 7 players can rejoice as Polyphony Digital continues to support the popular racing game with new content through regular updates. The latest update, version 1.43, brings a variety of exciting additions, including new cars, races, and features.
The update’s main attraction is undoubtedly the introduction of three new vehicles. Players can now get behind the wheel of the sleek Audi TTS Coupe ’09, the iconic Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR GSR ’06, and the classic Renault R4 GTL ’85.
While the Audi and Mitsubishi can be purchased directly through Brand Central, the Renault will require some patience as it’s only available through the Used Car Dealer rotation. Thankfully, all three cars are relatively affordable, with the most expensive one costing just 100,000 credits.
Hitting the Track on New Circuits
Update 1.43 further expands the racing experience with three new World Circuit events. Players can test their skills on the famous Laguna Seca, the challenging Tsukuba Circuit, and the legendary Suzuka Circuit, all featuring three-lap races.
Beyond the Garage
The update offers more than just new cars and races. The Bvlgari brand has been added to the Museum, showcasing the brand’s history and design philosophy. Additionally, the Café welcomes a new Extra Menu focusing on Lamborghini, allowing players to delve deeper into the Italian marque’s rich heritage.
Engineered for More Power
For car enthusiasts who love tinkering, the update introduces five new engine swap options specifically for Japanese cars. This allows players to further customise their rides and unlock their full potential on the track.
