Polyphony Digital has prepared another major update for fans of Gran Turismo 7. Version 1.71 primarily focuses 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 completely different faces of motoring
The biggest draw of the 1.71 update is, of course, the new cars. The first is the 1997 Toyota Chaser Tourer V, one of the models strongly associated with Japanese tuning and drifting culture. The car can be bought from Used Cars, and the developers suggest taking it to the Tokyo Expressway and then carrying out your own modifications at GT Auto and the Tuning Shop. The second addition is the Toyota Mark II Tourer V from the same year. This model also appears in Used Cars, but it’s presented as a more modest choice for players who enjoy discovering cars that offer plenty of scope once properly tuned. The next car is the 2008 Caterham Seven Superlight R500. It’s aimed at those who primarily value the direct connection between driver and car. Its low weight and character mean that precise braking, correct cornering and finding the perfect racing line become paramount. The Caterham can be bought at Brand Central and tested, among other places, on technical tracks such as Deep Forest Raceway. The final new addition is the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 6 N, representing a modern take on performance. The electric model lets you see how contemporary high-performance motoring is presented in Gran Turismo 7. The developers suggest testing it on fast circuits such as 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 Polyphony Digital has prepared. Update 1.71 also introduces three new World Circuits events, allowing the freshly added cars to be used straight away in further challenges. The developers want to encourage players to experiment with each of the new models rather than sticking to a single car. The Toyota Chaser is intended as a good choice for fans of street 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 has also been expanded with a new featured location, Whistler. This means players can not only race the new cars but also take striking photos of them. Update 1.71 is free for owners of Gran Turismo 7 and was released on 20 August. An internet connection is required to download the update, and buying the new cars requires the appropriate number of credits earned in-game or purchased with real money.
Update 1.71 delivers another batch of content for Gran Turismo 7, primarily expanding the garage with four very different cars. The Toyota Chaser, Toyota Mark II, a Caterham and the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N let you explore everything from classic Japanese tuning through lightweight construction to modern electric performance. On top of that, there are three new World Circuits events and the Whistler location in Scapes. The update is now available at no extra cost to Gran Turismo 7 players.
