A new update has been launched for Gran Turismo 7 and it’s good news for fans of sporty hatchbacks as it brings with it three new cars that are sure to get gamers excited.
The first new car added to the racing simulator is the FL5-generation Honda Civic Type R, the latest and greatest version of what is arguably the planet’s finest hot hatch. Car reviewers and owners have been raving about the new Civic Type R from the moment it was launched and despite it continuing to face more and more powerful competitors, it has proven just how exceptional a front-wheel drive performance car can be.
A very special 1992 Honda Civic EX has also been added to the game. The Civic in question won the ‘Gran Turismo Award’ at SEMA in 2017 and has since been added to Gran Turismo 7. It was built by the co-owner of tuning shop Garage RCR and rocks a host of impressive modifications. This includes a multitude of aerodynamic changes, including a massive front splitter and a large rear wing to turn it into an exceptional track tool. It is driven by a high-revving, 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated VTEC four-cylinder.

The third car added to the game this month is a racing version of the Mazda3 known as the GR.4. The car joins a host of other GR.4-class race cars in the game and is quite a bit different than a road-going Mazda3. For example, it features revised bodywork with flared front and rear wheel arches, has a customized front fascia, and sports a large rear wing. Traxion notes that it looks very similar to the Mazda3 that races in the ST-Q class in the Japanese Super Taikyu Series.
Rounding out the Gran Turismo 7 updates are two new Café Extra Menu Books, one of which is focused on Porsche and the other celebrates all things Toyota.
