GT7 Update 1.48: A JDM Legend, a Cult Hero, and a 1,900hp Monster Join the Grid
The Cult Classics Arrive
Gran Turismo 7 is back with Update 1.48, and while there are some serious heavy-hitters, one small car is stealing the spotlight. We are talking about the quirky, smiling 1995 Renault Twingo L.
It might only push 54hp from its 1.2L engine, but this front-wheel-drive city car is a true cult hero. Designed by Patrick Le Quément, its frog-eye look has made it a favorite for car enthusiasts who value personality over raw speed.
JDM Royalty: The 1999 Honda Civic SiR-II (EG)
For the MotoRev family, the real star of this update is the 1999 Honda Civic SiR-II (EG). This is a quintessential JDM legend that defined an entire era of tuning culture.
Equipped with the legendary B16A engine and VTEC technology, it offers the perfect platform for track builds and street cruises. This hatch is light, nimble, and screams all the way to its redline.
The Power Players: Porsche and Rimac
If you prefer your speed in massive doses, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) has finally landed. With its 4.0L flat-six producing 518hp and some of the most aggressive aero ever seen on a road car, it is built for one thing: lap times.
Then there is the 2023 Rimac Nevera, an electric hypercar that redefines what physics can handle. With four electric motors and a staggering 1,914hp, it can reach a top speed of 412 km/h and costs roughly £1,600,000.
