We reported that garlanded real-world car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro visited Gran Turismo 7 developer Polyphony Digital in the middle of April, and scouring the images, we didn’t spot a new car for the game. Not even in the background.
Only a signed die-cast model of a Lotus Esprit, not currently in GT7, was a tenuous, possible hint.
But, now, the Gran Turismo social media accounts have published a brief video of the visit, and one on PC monitor while Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi animatedly talks, there’s a Fiat Panda.
This looks to be a work-in-progress car model, still in the relatively early stages of development, missing the wheels and drivetrain.
But the body looks complete. This is the first generation Italian compact car, introduced in 1980. It had a 23 production run, selling over 4.4 million units.

My in-period GT4 screenshot finally pays off!
