Overview
- Polyphony Digital announced Spec IV during Thursday’s PlayStation State of Play, confirming two free drops coming in October and December 2026 that together add 12 new cars and two circuits to Gran Turismo 7.
- The October release will introduce Sportsland SUGO, six new cars, a Vintage section for discontinued models, a Car Concierge service to order Used and Legend cars, Experience driving challenges, a Car Viewer, and a raised Collector Level cap.
- The December release will return Autumn Ring with both its original layout and a much larger expanded layout, add six more cars, introduce Family Mode, bring back Shuffle Race as a randomized multiplayer format, add Online Drift Trials, and roll out an evolved Gran Turismo Sophy.
- Polyphony has already published images of several cars expected in Spec IV, including an E60 BMW M5, Citroën 2CV, Mazda RX‑Vision GT3 evo and a Mugen Civic, while the full vehicle list and specific mode mechanics will be revealed at the Gran Turismo World Series event in Singapore on October 3, 2026.
- Spec IV aims to broaden accessibility and competitive play by pairing family‑friendly options and new online modes with changes to the game economy that make hard‑to‑find cars easier to obtain, a move that could change long‑standing garage progression and trading patterns for players.
