Polyphony Digital pushed the next Gran Turismo 7 update into June, ending speculation around a late-May release. The new content drop now targets June 11, still landing on a Thursday, and early details point toward one of the more performance-focused updates in recent memory.
The reveal happened during the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Round 1 event in Milan. And honestly, longtime players likely welcomed the change in direction. Previous GT7 updates leaned heavily toward EVs, crossovers, and slower economy-focused machines. This time, the incoming lineup looks much faster.
Before the announcement, the article’s author described grinding through Weekly Challenges earlier in the day while chasing a car priced at 8.5 million credits inside the Legend Cars dealership. Even after completing more than five races tied to the Power Pack Challenges, extra measures became necessary. A few “big” cars from the virtual garage ended up sold off in order to afford the purchase. The Mercedes-Benz CLK LM ’98 earned praise over the older Aston Martin DB3S, especially from a player more interested in speed than nostalgia.
Then came the bigger surprise.
Update 1.70, or at least what the author expects Polyphony to call it, reportedly includes five new vehicles. One stands above the others immediately. Porsche’s 911 appears in its FIA World Endurance Championship safety car form, specifically the Turbo S variant. The article also mentions a personal connection to the car, referencing a drive experience at Weissach during the official debut event last year.
Another major addition arrives in the form of the Porsche 963. Even though Porsche plans to leave WEC factory competition after the 2026 season, the prototype racer still joins Gran Turismo 7’s garage roster. The writer explains using the older Porsche 919 regularly in races and time trials, so the newer machine naturally becomes one of the most anticipated arrivals in the package.
Ferrari enters the conversation too, though indirectly at first. Driving the Porsche 963 in-game apparently sparked interest in Mattel’s Elite 64 Ferrari 499P replica. Soon after, confirmation arrived that Ferrari would participate in the update as well. No exact pricing details surfaced yet, though the article speculates the car might cost somewhere between three and four million credits.
Some customization fans already appear eager for the release. The article predicts livery creators will move quickly once the cars become available, especially with the BMW M Hybrid V8 and Porsche 98X also entering the mix. Testing both machines around the Nordschleife becomes one obvious target.
No additional circuit appears planned for the update. Still, expectations include several new races and possibly extra engine swaps alongside the incoming car roster.
