The problem is, with a myriad of derivatives over the 60-odd years, it was nigh on impossible to nail down which rear-engine Beetle relative it was.
Following a cloaked teaser last week, Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi has now posted a de-robed confirmation image. Consequently, the following three cars will be arriving in Gran Turismo 7 tomorrow (23rd April).
The Renault (aka the ‘friendly frog’) and Yangwang (world’s fastest car) were straightforward to spot from the aforementioned teaser, but now we know that this is the rare Turbo S variant of the otherwise ubiquitous 964-generation 911.
With the naturally aspirated Carrera RS edition already in GT7, this S variant has a turbocharged 3.3-litre flat-six engine, lower suspension and the removal of power-assistance for the steering. It also went on a diet, hence the Leichtbau moniker. This stands for light build, and is not to be confused with Flachbau, which is another version with a ‘flat’ nose.

Gran Turismo 7’s next update will be released tomorrow, 23rd April 2026, for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Further details are expected later today (22nd), and we’ll update this article accordingly, ahead of the full change log upon its release.
