Gran Turismo 7’s new Spec IV update is so substantial that it’s being split into two parts. The first launches today (14th October), with the second following in December.
In terms of new vehicles, the first part of Spec IV adds six cars to GT7’s roster. It’s a typically eclectic lineup, crossing genres in freeform fashion like the game’s menu music. Where else can you find a free Citroën 2CV, a 1990s Ferrari and a modern MPV?
We’ve covered these in more detail in our accompanying article here.
Ferrari F355 Berlinetta ’94 – Used Cars Dealership – 525.93pp – 360,000 credits
Honda Civic Si Group A version ’87 – Used Cars Dealership – 593.52pp – 125,000 credits
Honda Step WGN Spada Premium Line ’23 – Brand Central – 305.81pp – 37,000 credits
Mazda RX-Vision GT3 EVO ‘26 – Brand Central – 723.08pp – 600,000 credits
Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo – Brand Central – 801.61pp – 1,000,000 credits
New track: SUGO International Racing Course
Sportsland Sugo is making its GT series debut, with the 2.3-mile-long track most famous for hosting real-world Super GT and Super Formula races.
Like Autumn Ring, which is due in Part 2 of the Spec IV update this December, Sugo is filled with cambered corners and unforgiving run-off areas, making it something of an anomaly in the modern motorsport world.
Opened in 1975, Sugo is classed as Japan’s largest motorsport venue owing to its attached karting and motocross facilities, with its final corner Dunlop bridge eminently recognisable across the globe.
New Brand Central features
Several new brands have been added to Brand Central, inlcuding Jeep, Lancia and Moza Racing. There are also new museums for Jeep in America and TVR in Europe.
Autobianchi
De Tomaso
Jeep
Lancia
MOZA Racing
Pontiac
Plymouth
Shelby
TVR
Spec IV Part 1 also introduces some interesting new features to Brand Central:
Vintage section
A new Vintage section lets you view cars from the year 2000 and earlier in brand dealerships. It’s essentially a shortcut to the Legend Car and Used Car dealerships, you to purchasee them directly if they are in stock.
Car Concierge
This is combined with the new Car Concierge feature. Accessible to those who have reached the ending, it lets you order vehicles from the Vintage section by specifying the model, colour and condition.
This lets you secure cars that aren’t in stock without having to wait for them to appear in the Legend Car Dealership, for example, and pay for them on delivery, though this also requires a fee.
Up to four orders can be placed simultaneously depending on your Collector Level. Adding an extra slot requires Level 50 or above.
The following brands can be accessed in Vintage and Car Concierge:
Abarth
Alfa Romeo
Alpine
AMG
Aston Martin
Audi
Autobianchi
BMW
Chaparral
Chevrolet
Citroën
De Tomaso
Dodge
Ferrari
Fiat
Ford
Honda
Jaguar
Jeep
Lamborghini
Lancia
McLaren
Maserati
Mazda
Mercedes-Benz
Mini
Mitsubishi
Nismo
Nissan
Peugeot
Plymouth
Pontiac
Porsche
Renault
Shelby
Subaru
Suzuki
Toyota
TVR
Volkswagen
Volvo
Experience
There is also a new Experience mode with challenges dedicated to specific car brands. Spec IV Part 1’s Experience events focus on Xiaomi, Yangwang, Hyundai and Polestar.
Car Viewer
When entering the Garage, a new Car Viewer lets you view your current car from different angles, change the background scenery or adjust car settings, such as turning the lights on and off or moving the wheels.
Three new GT Café Extra Menus
Spec IV Part 1 adds Three Extra Menus to the GT Café, with each requiring you to collect three cars:
[Extra Menu No. 55] ‘Collection: High-Performance EVs’ (Collector Level 75 and above)
[Extra Menu No. 56] ‘Collection: Tuned GT-Rs’ (Collector Level 80 and above)
[Extra Menu No. 57] ‘Collection: Le Mans Winners’ (Collector Level 90)
Six World Circuits events
Six new events have been added to World Circuits:
Sunday Cup – Autopolis International Racing Course – Short Course
European Sunday Cup 400 – SUGO International Racing Course
Vision Gran Turismo Trophy – Spa-Francorchamps
European Clubman Cup 600 – Dragon Trail – Seaside Reverse

World Touring Car 800 – SUGO International Racing Course
Two new Scapes locations
For virtual photographers, there are two new Scapes locations:
Angeles Crest Highway
Sportsland SUGO
Engine swaps
Citroën 2CV 6 Charleston ’86 – B18C-Integra-’98
Honda Civic Si Group A version ’87 – B18C-Integra-’98
Honda Step WGN Spada Premium Line ’23 – K20C1-Civic-’20, Windsor-351-Maverick, V12-F3500-A
As with most Gran Turismo 7 updates, Spec IV Part 1 adds several new engine swaps for cars including the Citroën 2CV, Mazda RX-Vision and Lamborghini Diablo GT.
In terms of the new cars, straight out of the box the Citroën 2CV can have a B18C-Integra-’98 motor swapped in for some VTEC thrills, as can the Honda Civic Si Group A version ’87, which makes a bit more sense.
The Honda Step WGN has a choice of three engines; a K20C1 from a 2020 Honda Civic, Greening Motor Company’s beefy Windsor-351-Maverick V8, or most intriguingly of all, a V12-F3500-A from GT7’s ’90s Formula 1 car. Sensible.
Collector Level increase
The Collector Level cap has increased from 70 to 90.
Moza wheel support
Moza’s first PS5-compatible wheel isn’t out yet, but the latest update adds native support for the R5S Pro Racing wheel in Gran Turismo 7 ahead of its launch.
