Nearly two months after its release, Gran Turismo 7 is seeing the addition of some new cars. The 1.13 update is officially live, bringing with it new rides, new tracks, and some much-appreciated quality of life updates for the game’s Career mode.
The first of the new cars to be added is the Suzuki Cappuccino, produced for only seven years during the 1990s. A roadster with a three-cylinder turbocharged 657cc engine, it may not be the fastest ride in the game, but it may come in handy for certain missions.
The second car is the Subaru BRZ S ’21, and the final addition is the Subaru BRZ GT300 ’21. These are each available for purchase from the Subaru section of Brand Central.
Three new World Circuits have also been added to the game. Players can now challenge the European Sunday Cup, the Japanese Clubman Cup, and the World Touring Car 800.
The 1.13 update comes in at 2.6 GB on PlayStation 5 and 4.6 GB on PlayStation 4.
