Gran Turismo 7 Releases Update 1.46

Polyphony Digital has just released the 1.46 April update for Gran Turismo 7. The free update is headlined with three new cars, two of which debut all-new manufacturers for Gran Turismo 7, alongside new Café menus, World Circuits events, and more.

Gran Turismo 7 launched back in March 2022 to extensive critical acclaim. The hallmark PlayStation first-party racer was touted as a return to form for the franchise after 2017's eSports-focusedGran Turismo Sport, and largely delivered on its promises. Ever since its launch,Gran Turismo 7 has enjoyed a steady stream of free monthly content updates that add to its roster of cars, with new racetracks occasionally in the mix as well. The car list has grown from 420 at launch to over 500 with the 1.46 update, and Polyphony Digital remains committed to supporting the game, while also developing the next entry in the Gran Turismo franchise.

The Gran Turismo 7 April update adds two new manufacturers — Skoda and AFEELA. The latter is a collaboration between Sony and Honda to produce an electric car concept, simply dubbed the Prototype 2024. Meanwhile, Skoda makes its series-first debut in Gran Turismo 7 with the Skoda Vision Gran Turismo, joining the ranks of other manufacturers such as Lamborghini, Audi, Nissan, Porsche, and more with their own distinctive VGTs. Alongside the new brands, the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 Sport Coupe is also included — a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts. While three cars may not sound like a lot, it's worth noting that modeling one Gran Turismo 7 car takes 270 days, so voluminous updates will be rare.

The update also adds three new World Circuits events: Japanese Clubman Cup 550: Alsace – Village Reverse, American FR Challenge 550: Trial Mountain Circuit Reverse, and Vision Gran Turismo Trophy: Grand Valley – Highway 1. A new Café menu book labeled Extra Menu No. 38: ‘Ferrari 12-Cylinder Engines’ (Collector Level 38 and above), featuring three iconic V12 Ferraris, is also included. Those who
