Gran Turismo 7 is back in the spotlight with its latest update, 1.69. This update, about 1GB in size, brings new cars and interesting features that fans will appreciate.
So, what’s new? Let’s dive into the highlights:
New Cars
This update introduces three new vehicles:
- Porsche 911 (964) Turbo S Leichtbau 1993 – Legends Cars – 1,200,000 credits
- Renault Twingo 1993 – Used Cars – 14,000 credits
- Yangwang U9 2024 – Brand Central – 350,000 credits
The Porsche is the priciest, while the Twingo is a budget-friendly option. In terms of overall car value, this update ranks as the 21st most expensive so far.
New Races and Events
Alongside the new cars, three new races have been added:
- Hypercar Parade – Yas Marina (5 laps) – 90,000 credits
- Schwarzwald League – Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (4 laps) – 56,000 credits
- World Touring Car 900 – Interlagos (12 laps) – 170,000 credits
While rewarding, some prizes might not cover the cost of the new cars. For example, the World Touring Car 900 race offers a decent payout, but the competition is stiff.
New Circuit Experience
This update also features a new Circuit Experience at the Nurburgring, specifically on the Endurance II track. Players can earn up to 1 million credits by completing the course and hitting gold times in all sectors.
Power Pack Changes
The Power Pack DLC now has a new Challenge section, allowing players to use their own garage cars instead of preset options. This change offers more flexibility and choice when racing.
New Engine Swaps
This update brings ten new engine swaps. Notably, the V12 engine from the Gr.2 McLaren F1 GTR can now fit into the McLaren 650S and the Lexus LFA, although players should prepare for a hefty price tag of over 10 million credits to purchase it.
Additionally, new engine options enhance the 911 and Twingo, making the racing experience even more exciting.
Other Changes
The update also includes minor tweaks, such as new conversations in the Cafe and additions to the Museum for the new cars and the Yangwang brand. Players can expect more undocumented changes to emerge as the community digs deeper into the update.
For fans enjoying Gran Turismo 7, this update is packed with new opportunities and challenges. Whether racing new cars or exploring fresh circuits, there’s plenty to look forward to.
