Six new cars

According to the PlayStation Blog, Part 1 adds these vehicles:

Sugo, events and new modes

Sportsland Sugo is the new track. Gran Turismo’s official site describes it as a technical Japanese circuit known for big elevation changes. Sony says the update also brings 6 new World Circuit events, new Scapes photo locations and new Car Viewer features.

The official Gran Turismo site lists more additions for Spec IV, including an Experience mode with brand specific driving challenges, a Car Concierge service for ordering Used and Legend cars, and a Vintage section for cars that can no longer be bought new. The site says Spec IV arrives in two parts, with Part 2 due in December 2026. Out of Games reported that Part 2 brings the Autumn Ring circuit and six more cars.

Sony did not give a Canadian price, and it notes that actual retail prices may vary.

What it means for you

If you already own Gran Turismo 7, start the game while online and the update installs at no cost. The Ferrari and the 2 CV are sold through the Used Cars dealer, the Civic through Legend Cars and the other three at Brand Central. Players who do not own the game can try the free My First GT on PlayStation Store first.

Collectors who want the controller should watch Canadian retailers on October 22, since stock is limited and Sony has not yet listed a price in Canadian dollars.
