Gran Turismo 7 is due another update in late February or early March 2025, and as usual, Producer Kazunori Yamauchi teased a handful of upcoming cars ahead of the release.
As February 2025 nears its end, it is time for another Gran Turismo 7 update. And as always when there is a new version to be released for the PlayStation racing game juggernaut, Producer Kazunori Yamauchi released a teaser image to get the community guessing about new cars. This time, a trio of new vehicles looks set to join the roster "next week", so likely still in February.
The silhouettes of the shown cars did get the speculation ball rolling, although it seems hard to pinpoint what exactly the cars are - except that they certainly are no high performance or race cars.

Meanwhile, the car in the front right of the image looks less boxy and a bit more sporty, and while some thought this to be a Mazda MX5, other guesses point to a BMW Z4 to probably be the car in question. More specifically, the shape of the hood hints at a first-generation model of the car as it was built between 2002 and 2008. Additionally, it looks like there is no roof on the car, meaning it should be a convertible that GT7 players will get to drive.

Finally, the car in the back is more of a transporter or truck, it would seem. While the silhouette and the vehicle being shown in the background makes it hard to gauge its size relative to the other two cars, many Gran Turismo 7 fans seem to have figured that it is a Mercedes Unimog. This utility vehicle can trace its roots all the way back to 1949 and has been used for various tasks throughout the decades, be it fire brigades, armies, or for agricultural work. The teased vehicle could be a 406 series Unimog, built between 1963 and 1989.

What cars are in the next Gran Turismo 7 update?
In the front left of the teaser image, a boxy car, likely a hatchback, can be seen. While some guesses went towards a Mk1 or Mk2 Volkswagen Golf, the more likely option seems to be a Peugeot 205. The car was built between 1983 and 1998 and even served as the basis for Peugeot's Group B entry dubbed 205 T16 E2 in its final iteration raced in the 1986 WRC season.1993 Peugeot 205 GTI.
