Gran Turismo 7 recently hit the gaming stores worldwide, marking the first true Gran Turismo title in nearly a decade after the stripped-back Gran Turismo Sport. This year marks 25 years since the very first Gran Turismo was released, making Gran Turismo 7 a very important release, and it is fair to say it hasn’t gone entirely to plan thanks to microtransactions and car cost controversy, but things do now seem to be moving forwards somewhat.
Despite the issues, Gran Turismo 7 offers an amazing collection of cars for players to enjoy. At the time of release, there were over cars 400 in the game, and new ones plus new tracks will soon be coming. But what are the coolest cars that you can get within the game? What are the ones that will make you stop and immediately wish you owned them? Well, here is a list of what we think might be the 10 coolest cars that players can currently obtain in Gran Turismo 7.
10 1992 Honda NSX-R
The 1992 NSX-R has to be one of the coolest iterations of the NSX ever. A lightweight version made for Japan only, the improved interior, suspension, and lightweight changes to the car made this perhaps the ultimate form of the early NSX.
The fact we can get our hands on it in Gran Turismo 7 is a delight to many Honda fans, and we already see it becoming one of the most popular cars in the game.
9 Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak
The Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak is the legendary version of the Quattro that climbed and conquered the Pikes Peak hill climb in 1987 in the hands of Walter Rohrl.
With 600 hp on tap, the S1 Pikes Peak is a dirt racing monster of a car and one of the most popular high-performance machines currently available in Gran Turismo 7—and one of the most badass looking too.
8 McLaren F1 GTR
The McLaren F1 GTR was first added for Gran Turismo 4. This is the car most famous for winning the 1995 24 Horus Of Le Mans, and it has a very strong place in the history of the British manufacturer and race team.
In Gran Turismo 7 it appears in the 1997 #42 livery of the 1997 Le Mans. That year, the car sadly failed to finish the race.
7 Honda Integra
The Honda Integra is one of the greatest cars the Japanese brand has ever produced. In Gran Turismo 7, the iconic third generation is represented, and it will no doubt be a car of choice for many JDM fans.
As in real life, it is perfect for modifying to get the very best out of its engine and handling...and boy does it look good in white with a red interior.
6 Toyota 2000GT
The iconic 1967 Toyota 2000GT makes its return once again in Gran Turismo 7 and has been in nearly every version of the game since Gran Turismo 2.
The 2000GT is a dream car within the Japanese automotive industry and is in effect Toyota’s attempt at taking on the likes of the Ferrari 250 GTO and the Jaguar E-Type.
5 Alfa Romeo 155
The Alfa Romeo 155 is an iconic touring car raced by Alfa Romeo, and in Gran Turismo 7, it appears in the iconic #8 livery of Nicola Larini who took this epic car to the 1993 DTM drivers championship.
It is available from the Legend Car Dealership that you unlock after completing the Café Menu #17. This will no doubt be a keen favorite of many Gran Turismo players.
4 Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40 is considered by many to be the greatest Ferrari ever made. And while that of course is entirely subjective, it is 100% a Ferrari icon. The twin-turbo V8 engine produces a glorious sound and delivers buckets of power.
And that mythical 201-mph top speed only adds to the value and iconic status of the car. It is undoubtedly one of the game’s coolest cars to collect.
3 Nissan Silvia Spec R Aero
The Nissan Silvia is available in a few forms within the game, but it is in the Spec R Aero Touring Car form where it is perhaps at its coolest. In the stunning orange livery, it really stands out from the crowd, and we first saw this particular car in the series with Gran Turismo 5.
This car can be picked up within the game’s Brand Central section and is great fun to throw around a tight and twisty circuit.
2 Porsche 917K
This is a car that doesn’t really need an introduction. The Porsche 917K is a Le Mans legend and is the subject of the final license test challenge within Gran Turismo 7. No doubt that this challenge will frustrate so many players within the game.
And at a cost of 18,000,000 within the Legend Car Dealership, it isn’t exactly an easy car for fans to acquire either, but it's well worth it.
1 Castrol TOMS Toyota Supra GT500 97
The Castrol TOMS Supra 97—or Supra GT500—is another car that will delight JDM fans. The car represented within the game is the #36 which was driven by Michael Krumm and Pedro de la Rosa who both won the GT500 Driver’s Championship in the 1997 JGTC season.
This is a car that ended the reign of the Nissan GT-R and became a legend in its own right. We see it becoming one of the favorites in its class in GT7.
