As a dedicated gamer and long-time fan of the Gran Turismo franchise, I’ve been eagerly anticipating every new update and expansion to this iconic racing game since its debut in 1997. The latest update, version 1.49, is no exception. With six new cars, an enhanced physics simulation model, and a host of quality-of-life improvements, this update brings my beloved Gran Turismo experience to new heights.

As a long-time fan of racing games, I’m thrilled to share my excitement about the latest update for Gran Turismo 7. Having played this game extensively since its release two years ago, I’ve come to appreciate its attention to detail and immersive racing experience. And now, Polyphony Digital has raised the bar even higher with this new update!

Starting from its launch in 1997, the “Gran Turismo” franchise has stood out as one of the top racing games on PlayStation due to its authentic physics simulations, which are derived from real-life car manufacturers’ data. Some automakers have even utilized the game as a concept car simulator, in addition to its massive fan base. Over the course of time, “Gran Turismo” has earned a reputation as a beloved classic among racing enthusiasts. The franchise has also expanded into other media, such as film, with Neill Blomkamp directing a movie adaptation featuring stars like David Harbour and Orlando Bloom. Moreover, it was chosen to be an official Olympic Esports event, cementing its position as a leading name in the racing simulation game sector.

In the latest blog post from PlayStation, it’s announced that the upcoming update for “Gran Turismo 7” will introduce six new cars: the Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2007), BMW M3 (1997), Subaru Impreza Rally Car (1998), and Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 (2008). These iconic vehicles can be test driven on the renovated Eiger Nordwand track, which is a reprise of the original GT Circuit. Additionally, this update includes numerous enhancements, new World Circuits events, and an expansion of the advanced racing AI on two additional race tracks. The release date for “Gran Turismo 7” update 1.49 is July 24 at 11pm PST.
