Sony and Polyphony Digital announced the arrival of a new free update for Gran Turismo 7, exclusive to PlayStation, which brings new cars with very distinct styles, including a rally legend and an iconic sedan from the late 80s.
The new update for Gran Turismo 7, which is already available, also brings new menus and content that expand the solo experience, as well as an update for GT Sophy, the next-generation racing Artificial Intelligence agent, exclusive to the PlayStation 5 version.
Among the new models, highlight the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car, with which Carlos Sainz won his second World Rally Championship title in 1992.
Recall that after the withdrawal of Group B from the WRC, Lancia chose the Delta as the base to compete in the new Group A, equipping it with all-wheel drive and a turbocharger. This was followed by six years of success, with continuous improvements that culminated in this Integrale model.
The body and suspension were reinforced, the wheel arches were widened, and a rear spoiler was added for greater aerodynamic downforce. The torque distribution was altered to favor the rear axle, bringing the handling of the Delta Integrale closer to that of a rear-wheel-drive model.
In addition to the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Rally Car, the new update of Gran Turismo 7 also brings the Citroën BX 19 TRS, a model presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1982, which was born in a context of uncertainty following the merger of the brand with Peugeot.
The model managed to maintain the Citroën DNA with a renewed design and simple, yet robust lines. The mastermind behind it was Marcello Gandini, the legendary Italian designer known for masterpieces such as the Lamborghini Miura and Countach. The BX also stood out for its hydropneumatic suspension, which replaces conventional shock absorbers with a nitrogen and oil system, allowing for free adjustment of ground clearance and offering a unique driving experience.
