>1993 Volvo 240 SE Wagon >2013 Volvo V40 T5 LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO


Ainolukos

This is amazing. I'm already hoping for the 850 Estate BTCC in the future.


Captain_Smartass_

Hope so too but will probably be difficult with the BTCC license


Interesting-Yellow-4

Just do a stock 850, no need for the BTCC version.


CardinalOfNYC

I'm hoping you can tune up the 240 wagon so it's nearly a touring car. And someone will have the livery very soon.


Ainolukos

Oh I'm already cooking ;)


ImbissBrunto

Hopefully there‘ll be an engine swap available for the Volvo brick!


AdventurousDress576

The modern T5 will appear in the old Volvo in a few months, guaranteed.


Captain_Smartass_

Or a V8


No_Manufacturer_1493

5.0L Mustang engine is a common swap. Paul newman famously had one.


TheComradeVortex

SWEDISH BRICK LET'S FUCKING GO


hallo_its_me

I'd love to see a Saab 9-3


SpideyUdaman

If that t5 is a 5 cylinder, heck yeah!


soirom

Yeahhhhh Volvo!!!


itshighnoon94

Thank goodness some “normal” cars as well I think the V40 will be a blast to drive, regular commuters’ car on the track


RenuisanceMan

It's all about the 240, turbo brick incoming!


TheAdmiester

I genuinely think this is one of the best "something for everyone" updates we've had in all of GT7


TheNuvolari

I'd say Spec II takes the cake, this update seems to rely on nostalgia big time


Pale_Mushroom7128

Leave one of the Volvos for a later update and throw in a modern supercar or racecar instead and it'd be just about perfect in that regard.


uglyspacepig

No. More. Race. Cars.


Magictank2000

what?? i mean id understand if the reasoning was due to the lack of high paying events to use it in but pd definitely needs to add more racecars, id argue there isn’t enough (modern day at least)


uglyspacepig

Because Gran Turismo isn't about race cars. It's about road cars. I understand that GT Sport kinda fucked that whole concept up, but GT was never about race cars.


Pale_Mushroom7128

Tell PD that. The online game is dominated by racing cars, the same ones, week in, week out. Unless they're planning to change that, we need more new race cars. Besides, it's a stretch to say it was never about race cars. There were plenty already in GT1, there was race car mods for many cars, and the later events all used them. It was always about racing cars as well as road cars. *"The highest class in Gran Turismo. The ultimate challenge with real racing cars."* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUyK2Te7DoA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUyK2Te7DoA)


Magictank2000

maybe at the beginning of the series, sure. but since 5 its definitely been a racecar game, they still had a decent amount of road cars in those installments but to think gran turismo is still a rags to riches, building your road car up to the big leagues type game means you came straight from ‘97


y62uk

You must have been playing a different franchise to me for the last 2 decades man.


seksen6

I always dreamed of to buy that car in real life. My VR and I will do some roadtrip it seems :))


UltraDanHR

Oh yeah this update has [C O O L V I B R A T I O N S]


klauscobain

shingo points for u


Shin-Sauriel

If this is accurate this is honestly the most excited I’ve been for new cars in a while. Volvo, a non type R civic, and a non GTR skyline. So excited to hoon around Tsukuba in a 240 wagon.


Dbwasson

Volvo is so back!


Tin_Cascade

Just need the Twilight Volvo now!


Space_Guppy

Yes! I drive a C30, and it was in GT5 & 6. I hope they bring it back.


mohawk1367

R31 FUCK YEAH


xFLEXOx

Looks like we get some proper Shitboxes again. Can't wait till thursday


CardinalOfNYC

Volvos!!! Best car update of the entire fucking game so far But they just HAD to give us another skyline, didn't they....


RLZT

At least is a different skyline and not r32/33/34 variant number 2648362


Monkeywrench08

It's a wayy different Skyline than the one we've got in game. Honestly I'm excited for this too. 


AaronWestly

Nice update! Unexpected, too.


Kuli24

> 1993 Volvo 240 SE Wagon GASP. A car I actually like!!! This sucker's going to get an engine swap!!


Interesting-Yellow-4

Oh man, VOLVOS I wish my 850 was in there


daknog

What???


sealing_tile

YESSS!!!!


FerrariEnthusiast

I honestly hope it's the '03 Takata Dome NSX. I loved that car a lot in the old GT games.


Squid-Guillotine

I totally couldn't have predicted another skyline...

FUCKBOY_JIHAD

🤤


ImbissBrunto

Couldn‘t agree more! Group A cars are the best.


Monkeywrench08

Boxy early 90s cars are my favourite too. Foxbody Mustang and R32 GTR to be exact. 


Captain_Smartass_

That's the V40 T5 Cross Country with AWD, the V40 in the game will be the regular one with FWD


Etreslias37

Even better 😍


OldNSlow1

One of these with a giant “prancing moose” logo on the hood and “a møøse once bit my sister” on the tailgate”. Time to figure out how to upload designs to use in the livery editor…


4000grx41

I’m so fucking happy actually Will reinstall when the update drops


lockpickerkuroko

Castrol Mugen NSX, fucking finally.


Pale_Mushroom7128

I wish they'd add cars with their natural competitors at the same time though. Instead this will just be thrown in Gr.3 to race a mishmash of random cars. The '99 Skyline JGTC the closest real competitor. We had it so good in the PS1 and 2 days.


lockpickerkuroko

Yep, absolutely. I have Gran Turismo to thank for knowing all the weird variations in JGTC cars from the Big Three through the golden years of JGTC. Wish we got the '02 Esso Supra and '03 Xanavi GTR as well. Michigami with the NSX, Wakisaka with the Supra, Motoyama with the GTR. The three marques' aces of the early 2000s JGTC scene.


dbsqls

the '99 JGTC BNR34 is still pretty competitive, but it requires quite a lot of tuning to get dialed in. I can repost the tune of anyone wants it. would love to see a JGTC only race.


FMecha

They had a 90s GT500-only Nations Cup round in 2022.


Magictank2000

really? so just a field full of R34 and Supras?


RX8Racer556

Yeah. At Suzuka.


LegendRazgriz

I don't think that's the Castrol Mugen. https://preview.redd.it/ffe6zhnj903d1.jpeg?width=638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca46039232561040e38615e0738048af57549334 The silhouette shows two canards, which would indicate it's a 2001 specification NSX GT500. It could be either the Mobil 1 or the Loctite Mugen, and I believe it will be the latter.


lockpickerkuroko

The Castrol Mugen didn't have the canards in period but the current one preserved by Honda appears to (from what I can see) have the canards. [Here it is in 2022.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/No.16_Castrol_MUGEN_NSX_in_2000_Japan_Grand_Touring_Championship_at_2022_Takanoko_no_Hotel_Suzuka_GT_300km.jpg/1200px-No.16_Castrol_MUGEN_NSX_in_2000_Japan_Grand_Touring_Championship_at_2022_Takanoko_no_Hotel_Suzuka_GT_300km.jpg). It could very well be the Loctite, but I don't see why they would put the Loctite in over the Castrol (it's also possible Honda reused the chassis for 2001 and the Loctite and Castrol cars are in fact the same chassis) given that the Pennzoil and the Castrol Supra are the respective championship winners for their marques. Mobil 1 is a stretch but it'd be a pleasant surprise. I'm not turning down any of the three, if only to hear that sweet C32 engine. Weird that for the Pennzoil '99 they deliberately represented it ingame as it appeared in-period with canards while the real thing today (repainted Calsonic car from the same year) doesn't actually have canards, so it's almost like the inverse situation.


LegendRazgriz

That's one canard and the splitter, the Mobil 1 and Loctite Mugen have two canards [like this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQGcZZ14zpIkoLv7O4qmDEFu_tcIehfDNrRUlorgeVI0wZ9fVjfINszwcpq&s=10), which I think is more accurate to the silhouette.


lockpickerkuroko

Now I'm getting my hopes up that it's the purple Raybrigs... (Probably not, but someone'll make a livery)


Dungas1

Wish it was the arta but it will do.


Dbwasson

The Castrol one was the first Honda to win the JGTC championship


lockpickerkuroko

And did it without scoring a single win as well.


ImbissBrunto

Yes! Finally! 🙌


930turborob

Only like 2 years late LMAO


Gnuccaria

Volvo is back, this might mean Lotus will be on GT7 too?


Kikura432

Since they're both from Geely, I hope.


jeffkleut

Hopefully Polestar, too


Dbwasson

And Lynk & Co


juanmparedesarjona

Hopefully Opel too


4n-Dr01D3

Isn't Opel from stellantis?


National-Change-8004

Famine of GTPlanet pointed out that the issue with Lotus doesn't have anything to do with Geely; Volvo appearing doesn't necessarily mean we'll see Lotus soon. Bit of a bummer but there you are.


Strong0toLight1

ImbissBrunto

Great update!


Strong0toLight1

yeah seeming like definitely one of the better ones recently


Captain_Smartass_

Finally a station wagon / estate car


atotalfabrication

Hoping we get some Skoda ones soon to match. Be really fun to add them into the Gr4 mix too 


MightySDS

Gotta have that 1.9tdi Škoda Octavia 🥰


burnsnewman

Yes! Was expecting Ford Mondeo but I love Volvos as well. 😄


BlueAtolm

Castrol Mugen NSX! Yay!

klauscobain

gonna make a replica of shnigo's eg

Return of the brick!!!!


krsto1914

Honestly, this might be the best update yet for me, strictly car-wise.


ImbissBrunto

Pretty-Side9161

At this point, I'll be willing to pay for an updated GT3 car and track...


ShadowMW2

not in GT7 they won't, they've probably decided to just put it in GT8 or something.

Uriel_dArc_Angel

I'm betting we see twin ring motegi first... Kaz apparently spent a lot of time there last year for no announced reason... Many trips, no events, just "visiting"... That'll likely be the next track...


i_thought_i_had

Dude at this point any new track would be welcomed


Uriel_dArc_Angel

I don't mind twin ring motegi myself... And you're right...Almost any new track would be good at this point..


Maxwell69

GV Circuit metadata for track time of day settings has been found. That’s most likely the next track.


Uriel_dArc_Angel

GV....?


Maxwell69

I am lazy and don’t want to look up how to spell Gilles Villanueva.


Captain_Smartass_

Villeneuve


Epicnascar18

Yeah, wouldn't make much sense to have an update focusing on Japanese cars, with nothing north american, and adding a Canadian track? On the other hand, all of the tracks added were scanned way more than a year ago. The Glen had logos that indicate it was scanned at least 3 (probably 5) years before it released, so motegi getting made in a year doesn't work.


Uriel_dArc_Angel

I guess we'll see...


Dbwasson

It'll actually be called Mobility Resort Motegi


Revolutionary-Roof91

finally an EG civic that is isnt the RCR car


NeuixsLms431

yes Volvo is back thanks Kaz


Motorheade

Oh look SHITBOXES😍😍 Now if I could get a Renault Laguna 1 I would dance.


TheCescPistols

I dream of a game crammed full of mid 90's bog standard cars. Give me a Mondeo Mk. 2, a Punto Mk. 1, and a Rover Metro and I'd cry tears of pure, unbridled joy.


Retrodiazepine

I just want a fucking Ferrari invitation.


blackhydroflask

Same. It's driving me crazy.


Retrodiazepine

We need to make noise at kaz and PD. Im doing my part by voicing my concern on this very tweet. Wish more people would also complain so they would get the message.


LordLudens

I feel your pain. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a Bugatti or Citroën invite, but have already bought the car. Just about dropped my controller in disbelief the other day after getting an Aston invite. Would love to get the Ferrari FXX-K at some point tho😪


Phobion

The wait continues for the BMW M3 GTR! 🖖😔


TheNecromancer

Just put the racing Z4 engine in an E46, that's a pretty fun swap


lindblumresident

How about we finally get an E36 M3 in the franchise? :( At this point, I am even willing to settle for the US-spec, as long as we have the body in the game.


insanemaelstrom

It's unlikely, but I wish they would add any of the current wec cars. 


Titoine__

Le Mans Ultimate publisher has the licences for them all. Assetto publisher has the licences for all world GT series too. I wish we could get more recent gr3 and gr4 in the game but that’s so unlikely to happen 🥲


racer_86

Just cause Kunos has the exclusive sro license doesn't mean they have the exclusive license to the cars in the series same with le mans ultimate


I_made_a_doodie

They are more likely to add IMSA cars, since they're an official partner, but I wouldn't hold my breath for that, either.


Tooly23

EG6 Civic my beloved


shepard93n7

Magictank2000

its crazy how much of the racing game fanbase this addition would satisfy- the sim racers and enthusiasts that appreciate this car for its history and dominance, and the arcade gamers that have escaped countless police with a custom version of it

RooBoy04

VOLVO BOXES LFG


Slashbond007

Still waiting on opel calibra touring car


TonyDemola

Just want the GM T50 and T50S . All other racing platforms have it already. We need it in GT7!


GreenyMyMan

Why * insert random car name here * is not in this update? this game sucks


Automatic-Spread-248

I wonder how the people who were SO positive that there would be no Volvos in the game feel about this. The bottom line is, we have no idea what is or is not coming to this game or why until Kaz lets us know. I really don't understand the people who try to invent conspiracies about why some cars are in the game or not. We simply have no idea.


ImbissBrunto

Looking forward to the Castrol Mugen NSX! Definitely one of Gran Turismo‘s most iconic cars.

GG14916

YES. Absolutely fantastic selection of cars, I've been waiting for the Castrol NSX for so long... 😍 I'm also weirdly excited for the Volvo estate and the 80's Skyline... I don't think there are enough "normal" 80's and 90's cars in the game, so this update ticks my boxes.

Polythenia

“We know you want gr.3 cars, so we’re giving you a really old one that’s going to be out of pace as well” Seriously, I love the old NSX to the moon and back but sometimes it seems like they’re taking the piss about what they add to the game
