New Vehicles
bağlantı”>Six new cars arrive in Part 1, each with suggested ways to drive them within GT7:
- Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo: An electric hypercar sculpted by the wind, featuring a teardrop-shaped cockpit and aerodynamic channels. Through iterative simulated testing it achieves a drag coefficient of 0.29, downforce of -1.2, and an aerodynamic efficiency rating of 4.1.
- Ferrari F355 Berlinetta ’94: A midship sports car with bodywork by Pininfarina that balances aerodynamic performance with design.
- Honda Civic Si Group A version ’87: Based on the Mugen Motul Civic that won overall class victory at the 1987 All-Japan Touring Car Championship, developed from the twin-cam ‘Si’ model.
- Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Evo ’26: A racing car bringing back the 4-rotor engine carrying on the philosophy of the Le Mans-winning 787B, combined with SKYACTIV technology.
- Honda Step WGN Spada Premium Line ’23: A minivan featuring a wide front grill and platinum chrome accents.
- Citroën 2 CV 6 Charleston ’86: A version of the French “people’s car” produced for 42 years since its 1948 release.
A Balance Between Drag and Downforce
The Xiaomi Vision Gran Turismo addresses a central design challenge. “Electric hypercars must answer a fundamental question,” said Tianyuan Li, Design Head of Xiaomi تلقائي. “Do we pursue extreme low drag for straight-line speed, or maximum downforce to conquer corners? The optimal solution lies in finding the perfect balance between the two.”
This approach impressed Gran Turismo Series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi: “When I saw that Xiaomi had resolved the contradiction between low drag and high downforce, I was truly amazed.”
Celebrating 30 Years
The DualSense Wireless Controller – Gran Turismo Limited Edition pays tribute to 30 years of the series. Racing stripes and motorsport-inspired graphics are paired with a textured, carbon-fibre-style front plate.
Thirty years ago, Gran Turismo began with a vision to share the beauty and joy of the automobile. This commemorative controller celebrates the journey we have shared together, and I am deeply grateful to everyone whose passion continues to inspire us.
Kazunori Yamauchi, CEO of Polyphony Digital Inc.
