Gran Turismo 7's Free Update 1.70 Adds Five Le Mans Hypercars Just in Time for the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Gran Turismo 7's free Update 1.70 arrives June 11 with five new cars - including the Ferrari 499P, Porsche 963, BMW M Hybrid V8 and Peugeot 9X8 Hypercars - plus a new menu and Le Mans circuit events.

Polyphony Digital is timing its latest Gran Turismo 7 drop perfectly. Free Update 1.70 arrives on June 11, 2026, and it leans all the way into endurance racing - adding five cars headlined by four modern Le Mans-class prototypes, landing just as the real 24 Hours of Le Mans gets underway.

Five new cars - four of them Hypercars

The update adds the Ferrari 499P '23, the Porsche 963 '24, the BMW M Hybrid V8 '25 and the Peugeot 9X8 '25 - four machines that currently compete at the top tier of the WEC Hypercar and IMSA GTP classes. Rounding out the set is the Porsche 911 Turbo S Safety Car (992). The additions push Gran Turismo 7's garage to a total of 570 cars.

New menu and Le Mans events

Update 1.70 also adds an Extra Menu Book - 'Collection: Hybrid Prototypes' (No. 54, for Collector Level 64 and above) - which tasks you with collecting the classic 2016 Audi R18, Porsche 919 Hybrid and Toyota TS050 Hybrid. On top of that, three new World Circuits events arrive, including a Gr.1 prototype race at the 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit - the ideal way to put those new Hypercars to work.

As always, Update 1.70 is a free download for all Gran Turismo 7 players on PS5, PS4 and PS VR2, rolling out after a short period of server maintenance.
