For many, this is the highlight of Spec IV’s currently revealed cars, seeing as the E60 BMW M5 features an insane V10 engine.
With 500 bhp and a top speed of 190 mph, the BMW is something of a sleeper, given its typically formal 5-Series exterior, replete with four doors and a sizable boot. Let’s not mention the VANOS and rod bearing issues, though…
Honda Civic SI Group A Version 1987
A returning favourite, the Motul-liveried Civic Si is based on the third-generation of Honda’s venerable little runabout.
Last seen in GT 6, the Civic decimated its class competition in the1987 Japanese Touring Car Championship, making it a motorsport icon.
Citroen 2CV 6 Charleston 1986
The iconic Citroen 2CV is the ideal way to carry eggs over a ploughed field, or something, but it was also in production for a mammoth 42 years between 1948 and 1990, so it was pretty good at other things, too.
It last appeared in GT 6 and adds another funky old car to the latest game’s roster.
Honda STEP WGN Spada Premium Line 2023
Honda’s trusty Stepwgn has been in production since 1998, offering Japanese families a mobile utility box to cover all vehicular bases.
Its high sides and bland styling make it seem like quite a dull prospect, but nothing a 911 GT3 engine swap couldn’t fix.
Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Evo 2026
Revealed earlier this month, it was no surprise to see that the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Evo would be making its way to the game in Spec IV.
Based on the older RX-Vision GT3, the new car features a more brawny body kit and will once again sit in the Gr.3 category.
Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo
Unveiled during the MWC expo in Barcelona in March this year, Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has supplied its Vision GT to the game to sit alongside its more regular SU 7 Ultra road car.
Said to utilise an active underfloor, the battery-powered Xiaomi is said to herald ‘Xiaomi’s vision for the electric future’. If the future is 1,000 bhp+, then count me in.
Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 1994
The car that ‘saved’ Ferrari, despite needing engine-out services. This V8 mid-engined supercar is revered. Nimble handling, sonorous noises and beautiful looks, this is peak 1990s Prancing Horse.
