Gran Turismo 7 Update Confirmed for August 20: Three Performance Sedans, Caterham Returns
Key Points:
- The next Gran Turismo 7 content update is confirmed for Thursday, August 20, featuring four new vehicles including the return of Caterham with the Seven Superlight R500, Hyundai Ioniq 6N, and two 1990s Toyota performance sedans (Mark II X100 and Chaser X100).
- The Caterham Seven Superlight R500 is a notable addition with a powerful four-cylinder Ford Duratec engine, doubling the torque and adding 100hp over its predecessor, achieving 0-60 mph in under three seconds.
- The update also includes the Hyundai Ioniq 6N, a 601hp sedan variant from Hyundai’s N performance line, and the Toyota Mark II and Chaser in Tourer V specification, both powered by the 276hp 1JZ-GTE engine.
- Additional content teased during the GTWS Round 2 event, like the Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept Evo, is expected later in 2026 but not in this update; a shorter one-week Online Time Trial preceding the update hints at possible major changes.
- Other recent Gran Turismo 7 news includes the start of the 2026 Manufacturers Cup Exhibition on August 22, a Ferrari 250 GT Sperimentale winning the Gran Turismo Trophy at Pebble Beach, and server issues suspending the popular Stealth Model car giveaway during the GT World Series.
