Gran Turismo 7 Teases Four New Cars: What We Think

You’ve just finished the main course and the chef sends out a surprise dessert. You didn’t order it. It isn’t what you pictured. Do you complain, or do you taste it anyway?

That little moment of choice sums up the mood in the Gran Turismo 7 community this week. Polyphony Digital has teased four new silhouettes for an incoming update and, as ever, opinions are already flying. Some players would be happy with almost anything new to drive. Others will nitpick details until the reveal itself feels like an endurance event.

Four shapes, a thousand opinions

Here’s what the outline suggests. Two of the silhouettes look incredibly close: four doors, Toyota lineage, turbo straight-six vibes. The rumour mill points to the Chaser and the Mark II Touring V. Yes, they overlap. Yes, we didn't need both. Still, throw in aftermarket aero and drift packs and suddenly both become viable canvases for D1GP-inspired liveries and online chaos.

• Toyota Chaser / Mark II Touring V: likely twins in spirit, ripe for drift tuning.
• Hyundai Ioniq 6 N: an EV entry for the N faithful, headline-grabbing on paper.
• Caterham Seven Superlight R500: a return of a lightweight icon, promising razor-sharp corner speed.

Speculation also suggests the Ioniq 6 N is the next Hyundai to join GT7. That will please fans who like instant torque and circuit grip. Me? I’m still partial to combustion oddities like the Elantra N TC '24 or the Genesis Gr.B rally machine, but an electric N on track will stir interesting balance changes for sure.

As for the Caterham, its presence is pure joy for anyone who worships low weight over sheer horsepower. It’s the sort of car that eats corners for breakfast. Expect 0.0x second lap improvements where weight matters most. Also expect community challenges to pop up fast. I can already see a Time Trial on Eiger Nordwand in my head.

Eight months into 2026, GT7 has received four updates delivering 14 cars. For context, last year saw seven updates and 24 vehicles between January and late August. Does that mean support is slowing? Maybe. Or maybe Mr. Yamauchi is saving a larger surprise for later. The silhouettes alone don’t answer that, but they do spark conversations.

There are smaller, fun questions too. Will the Caterham accept engine swaps for more grunt? Will the Toyota twins get tailored aero kits and drift-specific tuning presets? Will track balance shifts make an electric N behave like a different beast entirely? Answers should arrive with the next patch.

Expect a mixed bag of practical additions and niche delights: two close-to-each-other Toyotas, an electric performance entry from Hyundai, and a featherlight Caterham to sharpen the handling meta.

Whether you’ll be pleased or picky depends on taste. Some will cheer every new chassis. Others will keep asking for the same dream car they’ve wanted since launch. Either way, the game keeps getting new toys, and that always makes the community talk.
