Polyphony Digital has released another major update for fans of Gran Turismo 7. Version 1.71 focuses primarily on new cars, offering four models that represent completely different approaches to motoring. Players can also check out three new World Circuits events and a new location in Scapes. Among the cars are both classic models for tuning enthusiasts and a modern electric sports car.
Four new cars showcase very different sides of motoring
The biggest draw of update 1.71 is, of course, the new cars. The first is the 1997 Toyota Chaser Tourer V, one of the models closely associated with Japanese tuning and drifting culture. The car can be bought in Used Cars, and the developers recommend taking it to places like Tokyo Expressway before starting your own modifications at GT Auto and the Tuning Shop. The second addition is the 1997 Toyota Mark II Tourer V. This model also appears in Used Cars, but it's presented as a more understated choice for players who enjoy discovering cars that offer lots of potential once properly tuned. Next is the 2008 Caterham Seven Superlight R500. It's aimed at those who value a direct connection between driver and car above all. Its lightweight and character make precise braking, proper cornering and finding the ideal racing line the most important elements. The Caterham can be bought in Brand Central and tested, among other places, on technical tracks such as Deep Forest Raceway. The final addition is the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N, representing a modern approach to performance. The electric model lets you see how contemporary high-performance motoring appears in Gran Turismo 7. The developers suggest testing it on high-speed circuits like High-Speed Ring and comparing its capabilities with other modern sports cars.
Update 1.71 also expands track content and Scapes mode
New cars aren't the only content prepared by Polyphony Digital. Update 1.71 also introduces three new World Circuits events, letting players use the freshly added cars straight away in subsequent challenges. The developers want to encourage players to experiment with each of the new models rather than stick to a single car. The Toyota Chaser is a good choice for fans of street-style character and tuning, the Mark II for those seeking a less obvious car, the Caterham for drivers who prioritise precision, and the IONIQ 6 N for those who want to test the future of performance. Scapes mode has also been expanded, with a new featured location, Whistler. This means players can not only race the new cars but also prepare impressive photos of them. Update 1.71 is free for Gran Turismo 7 owners and was released on 20 August. An internet connection is required to download the update, and purchasing the new cars requires an appropriate number of credits earned during gameplay or purchased with real money.
Update 1.71 is another batch of content for Gran Turismo 7 that primarily expands the garage with four very different cars. The Toyota Chaser, Toyota Mark II, a Caterham and the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N let you experience classic Japanese tuning, lightweight construction and modern electric performance. Also included are three new World Circuits events and the Whistler location in Scapes. The update is already available at no extra cost to Gran Turismo 7 players.
