Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.43 Released For February 2024

Three new cars have arrived with Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.43 released for February 2024, and as expected, they’re the 2009 Audi TTS Coupe, 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR GSR, and the 1985 Renault R4 GTL.

The first S model in the TT range features a revised 2.0 litre engine, four wheel drive, 10mm lower suspension, and a new electronic stability programme. In the game it’s rated at 511.52pp, and will cost you 68,000 credits. The Lancer Evo is the MR GSR version, and as the Mitsubishi Racing version, you get BBS 17-inch alloy wheels, loweered Bilsteain suspension, a front lip spoiler, six speed gearbox, Brembo brakes and other motorsport changes. In-game, it’s 506.66pp and 100,000 credits. Meanwhile the R4 GTL is 153.27pp and 24,400 credits, with a 1108cc engine inherited from the Renault 6, front disc brakes, a handbrake which actually worked on the rear wheels and mounted on the floor rather than under the steering wheel and larger wiper blades.

That’s the most notable aspect of the update, with new engine swaps, World Circuit events, and weekly challenges also appearing.
