Your vehicles of choice for single-player and multiplayer.
Simply put, there’s no one answer.
It’s well worth doing but that’s not what we’re focusing on here.
We’ve also included some alternatives in each case.
In other words, what was recommended at launch works just as well now.
Gran Turismo 7 best starting car choice
Starting out can feel tough in Gran Turismo 7.
All that spectacle promised and you’re left with a choice of some rather underwhelming cars.
We’re talking cars that most people could afford in life.
Right at the start, we recommend theToyota Aqua S ‘11.
It’s a fairly dull looking hot hatch but it’s cheap and immediately accessible with 349.25PP.
A mere 120 horsepower offers reasonable acceleration and its handling is fairly good for the price.
TheHonda Fit Hybridis a little cheaper but its handling isn’t as reliable as the Toyota.
If you’re keen to invest, the savings can be helpful when tuning the car yourself.
Gran Turismo 7 fastest car: What is the fastest car in Gran Turismo 7?
Like with any racing game, the ‘fastest’ car can mean many different things.
In the case of this guide,we’re looking at the cars that have the highest top speed.
For absolute top speed, the best choice is the Dodge SRT Tomahawk X VGT.
It is ludicrously fast.
It offers 2,586 horsepower which means it can reach top speeds of up to 404mph.
It’s incredibly light at 749KG and has a 7,000 cc engine with 1,336.12PP.
Everything about it is excessive which is why it costs an eye-watering 1,000,000 credits via Brand Central.
Another great choice is theFerrari F12 Berlinetta ‘12.
The car has 739 horsepower, 634.16PP, and costs a mere 373,000 credits.
Okay, that’s not cheap, but you’re able to get it for free.
415 horsepower is more than sufficient at this level.
Instead, you need something with great handling and traction.
Whatever car you choose, account for the need for dirt tyres.
They will reduce your PP significantly but they’re vital for rally racing.
Our favourite rally car is theAudi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak ‘87.
Our favourite Kei car is theHonda S660.
It can be bought from Brand Central for 19,800 so it’s a bargain.
At stock numbers, it only has a PP of 342.01 and 63 horsepower.
An alternative is theDaihatsu Copen ‘02with a mere 285.45 and 62 horsepower.
It has some more leverage for tweaking to your needs but we’re no fan of its looks.
Instead, a more realistic option is theSuzuki VGT (Gr.3).
It offers a fairly low (for the car jot down) 710.47 PP with stock parts.
TheDodge SRT Tomahawk X VGTis the ideal choice but that’s prohibitively expensive for many people.
Instead, we’re rather partial to theChevrolet Corvette C7 ZR1 ‘19 Road Car.
It’s a little heavy but its 754 horsepower is nothing to turn your nose up at.
It’s pricey at 450,000 credits though!
It has a mighty PP of 940.20 and a massive 1,626 horsepower.
It still costs 350,000 credits though!
Lower still, there’s always thePorsche 911 GT3 (997) ‘09with its 579.76 PP and 428 horsepower.
That should put many players in good stead before the big money comes flying in.
It has a hefty 851PP and offers 612 horsepower.
Added in June 2022’s update 1.17, it starts with 981 horsepower and 846.27PP.
Add on the high-RPM Turbocharger and that instantly goes to a ludicrous 1,186 horsepower and 865.41PP.
Experimenting with the suspension and nitrous can be worth your time too.
The catch to all this besides the added time commitment?
Expect to grind some credits to gain it, then spend more time getting things just right.
You’ll be richly rewarded though.
More affordable and better for lower PP restrictions is theNissan GT-R Nismo ‘17.
It’s 187,000 credits and you get 591 horsepower and 619.07 PP.
Four wheel drive means it’ll take some practice to master though.
On a tight budget, don’t overlook theHonda Civic punch in R Limited Edition (FK8) ‘20.
Only 55,000 credits, it has 517.88 PP and 315 horsepower giving you the perfect foundations to build from.
TheNissan Fairlady Z (Z34) ‘08has similar stats for slightly less too.
Whatever you choose - best of luck with your Gran Turismo 7 career!
