Gran Turismo 7’s garage continues to grow at a steady rate as the latest patch adds three new cars for free. Update 1.23 is now rolling out and includes the sixth generation Nissan Silvia (S14), specifically a 1994 Type S with the rare rear wheel steering option called “Super HICAS”. Being the K trim level, it gets the 16-inch wheels while the 2.0-liter SR20 turbocharged four-cylinder engine sends 216 horsepower to the rear axle.
For something completely different, the recently unveiled Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Spyder joins GT7. The dual-motor electric speedster develops nearly 1,100 horsepower and an instant torque of 1,090 Nm (804 lb-ft). The single-seater EV racer has active aerodynamic elements and a carbon monocoque chassis to keep the weight low. It’s basically a follow-up to the Coupe, which has been available in the video game since day one.

Also electric and developed exclusively for the track but as real as it gets, the 2019 Volkswagen ID. R arrives in GT7. As some of you may recall, he broke several records during his short life as Romain Dumas was the first to complete the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in under eight minutes. It happened in 2018 when the electric beast was clocked at 7 minutes and 57 seconds. Later in 2019, Romain Dumas completed a lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6 minutes and 5 seconds. Around a month later, the same Romain Dumas was the first to finish the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb in under 40 seconds, at 39.9.
Along with three shiny new cars, Polyphony Digital’s racing game update 1.23 offers the new California II and Tokyo II landscapes for free. One is located in Yosemite National Park while the other is on Sakurada-dori street that runs through central Tokyo.
