Gran Turismo 7’s next update includes four cars, 15th May

The next Gran Turismo 7 update has things the wrong way round.

Usually, there’s a weekend teaser on social media by series lead Kazunori Yamauchi, followed by a server maintenance notice, then an unveil trailer a Wednesday and the update arriving on the final Thursday of the month.

But that didn’t happen in April, nor seemingly in May.

Instead, a server maintenance schedule was posted yesterday (8th) confirming the update to arrive on 15th May.

Then, the home page for the game on a PS5 accidentally unveiled the four new cars, with the trailer viewable on the game console.

Only after that did Yamauchi share the shadowy teaser, but the details are now in the public domain, spotted by Reddit users.

The next update will include:

• Ferrari 812 Superfast ’17
• Chevrolet Corvette C5 Z06 ’01
• Honda CR-V (Fifth generation) E: HEV EX Black Edition ’21
• Suzuki Carry KC ’12

The Ferrari (main article image) is a traditional front-engine, V12, sports car from the Prancing Horse. Now replaced by the 12Cilindri, at least the 812 is a generation newer than the F12 currently in Gran Turismo 7.

Also plugging a generational gap is the Corvette, with every era present but one. Until now, that is, with this fifth-generation example. Here, it’s in the most performance-focused variant (for the C5), the Z06.

Then there’s the adorable Suzuki Carry kei pick-up, which is typically Japanese and typically Polyphony Digital. Prime for tunes, engine swaps, big rims and custom liveries. This is peak Gran Turismo.

The outlier here, then, is the humdrum Honda CR-V, which is neither fast, nimble, nor weird. It is just, a car.

We’ll be back on the 15th with a full rundown of changes when the patch notes arrive.
