About the Mercedes: I have a feeling PD is trying their hardest to get the average player to love these older GP cars because this is fantastic around the track, similar to the Honda. Unfortunately that still doesn't excuse the lack of use in the game for the price it offers. I hope some time in the next few weeks we get a cash cow build for the car to give us some use. My favorite detail is the jagged rev gauge.
I’ve seen some people BOP’ing the old Merc F1 car with the Honda and doing custom races with them. That’s an option ig but you have to make the events yourself lmao.
The economy is broken.... After you buy almost all of the cars in the game, you're only left with the expensive legendary cars but they're almost impossible for a high schooler to complete due to the amount of time you need to grind
In other words you are not meant to play the game like you want you are meant to grind for useless legendary cars instead dam thats the biggest BS i ever heard XD
nah all these replies are ridiculous, the spins are supposed to give you money to buy the cars in the brand store or used car dealer or legendary car dealer. instead, it’s a bunch of RNG and all you get is 10K from a bunch of 4 star tickets. the economy is broken the races doesn’t give you enough money, i did all the licenses and super licenses and driving missions and still have to buy many many cars. the 20,000,000 million cars need to go away. the cap should be 10,000,000 if your gonna make it a grind to get money. I shouldn’t have to look up ways to get money the fastest when I never had to do that. and some of the cars you have to buy to complete the cafe menus
I saw something while testing that Porsche, if you let it roll on the gravel it will engage reverse to stop the car, nice detail, still horrible car, it would've been nice not having it as an EV
Re the Merc, I've used a tune by Johnny_SDVR to 700pp at Le Mans. The thing is QUICK, but understeery to Hell, and if it rains, you have to stop for intermediates. With those skinny tyres, the beast will kill you. Oh, it's as frugal as Hell. I was able to get a full 7 laps (8 if it were totally dry).out of it. Great in VR!
20 million for a car is just disrespectful, this is the one thing I find super frustrating and annoying about this game and they only give you a week to get them
I have it at around 280hp to keep it kindoff realistic, if you fit a differential you can get rid of the front wheels spinning when flooring it out of a corner while avoiding understeer, basically an easier version of the Sierra!
I’ve done that. Gonna need a custom gearbox to lengthen the ratios a bit, it tops out at about 185 mph very quickly with the standard GT3 RS gearbox. Absolutely brilliant swap though!
Even though the Mission X is a steaming pile of trash, the sound gave me goosebumps. It doesn't sound like any other electric cars in the game. As for the Mercedes, I was able to purchase it since I had almost 100 million credits. I haven't driven it yet, but I'll do it when I feel like it.
The engine swaps are pretty expensive in this update, due to 3 cars getting the W16 swap, which is the 2016 Audi R8 V10, 2024 Nissan GTR, and Dodge Challenger Demon, which can already eclipse 1000 horsepower fully upgraded.
PD are actually taking the piss with this "update" I have never and will never spend 20 million credits on ANY in game car, keep up the good work, hello from Dublin Ireland 💯🇮🇪💪
for a bathtub with wheels, i expected the car to be more lively under power but surprisingly it’s super duper planted unless i deliberately try to slide the car with aggressive steering and throttle on corner exits. the car comes stock with racing hard tyres btw
I wish PD would include more races and racing championships to the game! The cars are great, but let’s have some more race events, championships that include practice and qualifying
I bought the Porsche and instantly built the 992 sort classic using this car. And with the ford I made the NFS prostreet livery and made Gavin Mays’ car other than that the update is meh!! We def need some higher paying events tho
Correct me if I'm wrong but for the 911 turbo s 2020. The active aero suppose to active at certain speed but in game we get to choose? I actually went in look at old vides of it and the active aero does do so at high speed. Did miss something? Disappointed cause I love active aero for cars😢
Yes. No active aero. Also not for 918 Spyder. In both cases choose the desired wing level via GT auto. Really pitty. Audi and Mercedes do have active aero in the GT7…
Ever since swapping to the ps5 I have noticed the download speed difference is absolutely terrible in comparison to the 4 plugged into the same internet. It legit took me since we were able to pre-download the update until it was able to be downloaded to get just the patch to download....only to find out when I turned on my system that it corrupted my damn game...causing me to need to re-download the ENTIRE game...if it took legit 20 hours for just the update....😑😑😑
The Mission X will brake traction up to 100mph, trying to drive it with zero TCS on is "challenging" Then throw in ZERO ability to tune the suspension is bollocks
The pack is as usual garbage without Escort, W196 is way too expensive for the GT economic and the ROI is meh, Mission X is illusional and again useless garbage in GT, 992 Turbo S and Jimny Sierra are just copying the existing model, finally tons of K24 swaps. Only exciting car is Escort, 992 and Jimny aren't interesting enough
Downloaded the update, bought the Escort. Wasn't really a fan of the handling, but then again I put all the power upgrades on it and copied a tune off an Evo without tweaking it at all, so not really a proper test to be fair. Annoying you have to replace the iconic wing to tune downforce, but a wingless version you can magically adjust somehow...okay Polyphony. Shame the Mission X is rubbish, I haven't tried it but I'll take your word for it. The Merc probably isn't worth hours of boring grinding and I'm not interested in more dull Jimny events.
Also, STOP with the LS7 BRZ swap. I give you the nod on the Volvo and the Van, but i rather tolerate Civic engine swapped italian cars than any random car with that LS engine. At this point i feel that they put that engine swap at random. I want another VK45DE or another unusual engine swap, like the DKH 911. That could be such an engine swap
😂 tittle is right. Mission X isn’t good (Edit) Came back to elaborate from experience, so while you can control its throttle to make the burn out machine not do a burnout. The main issue I have had is it’s mass under braking, the brakes feel inadequate for the speeds it can quickly get to.
The missionx is one of the worst electric cars in the game, it seems that they compete on how to make them worse 💀 And it has been more than 6 months without fixing the incalculable pp errors in several cars ☠
Rly? I just hosted an 800pp for about two hours Outside of ppl hitting me, I dominated with the Mission X. It stays glued to the ground. Braking could be better though😒 but definitely not garbage
So more of the usual shit. No track, no new current, not archaic, race cars, more garbage cars you can't use for shit (but the 992 and the Escort are nice I guess), one of which is priced beyond reason, absolutely nothing new in terms of event... nearing 3 years of release and this game continues being the same disappointment. This franchise used to have quality, keyword being *used* to.
This is why we want Asetto Corsa Evo to come out on PS5, then PD may and will have to lift their game, because a lot of players will leave GT7. GT7 is not a bad game, but the content and as you pointed it has been disappointing over the years.
@@CharlieBravoHotel It's just sad, I'm a huge Gran Turismo fan, I love this franchise, but every update for the game feels like the same thing. The fact we're doing the same races for 3 years now has gotten tiring already...
@@frylucasI am also a huge Gran Turismo fan, because I started way back in GT2 days and I brought every game since. Anyway I am like you with GT7 after every update the same old thing, just a few cars but it not much to cheer about mate. This Asetto Corsa Evo game that is coming out on PS5, this is going make PD to stand up and listen, because of good competition in Asetto Corsa Evo and PD needs that. So will GT7 change because of Asetto Corsa Evo, we just have to wait and see what happens.
I was looking through the fandom’s reaction and I’m disappointed at the disgust of the Merc’s price. I’m probably in the minority here, but I think 20 million is accurate. It’s not like 20 million credit cars are new to the GT series, and at least with GT7, you don’t have to pay that price for dupes (I’m looking at you XJ13 Chrome Line)
Just because it isn't new doesn't means it isn't stupid. We already barely have enough motivations or reasons to play this stupid game due the sheer lack of *something* to do, and I ain't repeating the freaking Spa race 20 freaking times or the Le Mans race 30 times to afford a car I can't use for anything. One of the biggest mistakes from Gran Turismo 5 was introducing the $20.000.000 price cap, before that the max was something around $6.000.000 IIRC, and it's depressing to see them doubling down on it with this game.
Love the cossie of course and the turbo s. Im broke do cant afford the merc. And im debating buying the mission x since everyone seems to ssys its horrid. And also the regera is so much better because its a direct drive v8. Evs are trash
They bring another car we already had and the turbo s is basically the same as the gt3rs for interiors it just tells u that there just lazy at releasing diffrent cars now.

The point
You
I’ve seen some people BOP’ing the old Merc F1 car with the Honda and doing custom races with them. That’s an option ig but you have to make the events yourself lmao.
It’s not working, 99% of their fan base don’t like VGT and obscure one off cardboard box racing cars some old rich guy raced 100 years ago
The Mercedes f1 is very good at 600 PP tokyo & 700 PP lemans races for money making & is lovely to drive in lobby's too against other 1950s cars
Yes more f1 cars the better
The economy is broken.... After you buy almost all of the cars in the game, you're only left with the expensive legendary cars but they're almost impossible for a high schooler to complete due to the amount of time you need to grind
you don't really need to grind it that much bro.... I played like an hour and a half for the week and had 4 mil with minimal effort
you're supposed to save up for the legends cars and not buy every single regular car first man also don't waste money tuning everything to max 👍
In other words you are not meant to play the game like you want you are meant to grind for useless legendary cars instead dam thats the biggest BS i ever heard XD
Just save money like in real life I just save and then buy I saved 7 million to buy a GT40 so you can save 20 million
nah all these replies are ridiculous, the spins are supposed to give you money to buy the cars in the brand store or used car dealer or legendary car dealer. instead, it’s a bunch of RNG and all you get is 10K from a bunch of 4 star tickets. the economy is broken

No wide body, diffuser , or race wing for the 911 make me think we are getting a cup car or GT2 in the future
The Mission X is garbage! The car is undrivable under load, and the braking sucks. The cars handling characteristics are garbage
I agree not a car to drive in rain
I won against sophy on hard level on the nurb. Haven't tried any other sophy tracks. Not sure what the problem is. Maybe its...... lol
Awful under braking awful on the throttle and an insane amount of understeer mid corner even if you just tap accelerator
@Umar-gw6fy facts! I'm mad I wasted 1,000,000 credits
I saw something while testing that Porsche, if you let it roll on the gravel it will engage reverse to stop the car, nice detail, still horrible car, it would've been nice not having it as an EV
That Vintage Mercedes Benz F1 car looks so fancy
Stirling moss and fangio car
Mercedes benz is a beast, it comes standard with racing hard tires hence why it is around 600pp. I fitted some sport tires on it and it feels great!
In VR be better
Re the Merc, I've used a tune by Johnny_SDVR to 700pp at Le Mans. The thing is QUICK, but understeery to Hell, and if it rains, you have to stop for intermediates. With those skinny tyres, the beast will kill you.

20 million for a car is just disrespectful, this is the one thing I find super frustrating and annoying about this game and they only give you a week to get them
Well, I know another super frustrating thing - needing an invitation for a car and not getting it for over a year :D
@@ma_nubro spot on, Im hanging out for the Ferraris
The Cossie is an absolute dream to drive! Under 1000kg and 460bhp tuned, grips like nobody’s business and flys! My new favourite car.
I have it at around 280hp to keep it kindoff realistic, if you fit a differential you can get rid of the front wheels spinning when flooring it out of a corner while avoiding understeer, basically an easier version of the Sierra!
I actually enjoy screeching the rubber out of corners.
Benz f1 is great. Bought it, spent twenty mins trying to find a race to race it in, when i did i finish 7th place in the race. Made like 14,000cr 😂
The engine in the Porsche 911 Turbo S in this update can be fitted to a 2016 GT3 RS. So in a way, you can make your own GT2 RS.
I’ve done that. Gonna need a custom gearbox to lengthen the ratios a bit, it tops out at about 185 mph very quickly with the standard GT3 RS gearbox. Absolutely brilliant swap though!
The Turbo S is so fast even with minimal upgrades, very easy to do good lap times in it. Still the Escort is so much more fun, in my opinion though!
Was really suprised with the size of the update! Enjoying it though! The Cossie is definitely the highlight for me so far!
Wrong but maybe has something do with pro update even tho it's same size on standard ps5
Mercedes is the highlight off the update its fantastic to drive & is very good against 1950s cars in lobby's & for money making at 600 PP & 700 PP
Cheers mate
I agree with the mission X, it's even more useless than the VGTs
Even though the Mission X is a steaming pile of trash, the sound gave me goosebumps. It doesn't sound like any other electric cars in the game. As for the Mercedes, I was able to purchase it since I had almost 100 million credits. I haven't driven it yet, but I'll do it when I feel like it.
I hate Electric Cars in General but man, the Mission X isnt Bad if you know how to Drive and dont Go Full throttle anytime

Grinding done. Downloading now. Ready to go shopping
Hope your game doesn't get corrupted and you aren't on a 5 with the terrible download speeds...
You have a great way with narrating these videos. Truly a gift bro
The Mercedes Vision Gran Turismo (the one with active aero) received a detailed interior. Happy holidays.

anybody notice you can drive the new mercedes in the nation cup as rental car? until 24/11
Cheers mate
🔑 I actually enjoyed driving the Porsche Mission X in PSVR2. Initially was worried it would be like the VGT.
Vr 2 awesome be better on ps5pro
I wonder could the mission X car be tuned well, change the torque etc?
The Mercedes is nice even though the price tag is really high at $20 million being a rare classic.
I wish PD would include more races and racing championships to the game! The cars are great, but let’s have some more race events, championships that include practice and qualifying
I believe the turbo S is now the fastest quarter mile real street car in the game, edging out the aventador.
I bought the Porsche and instantly built the 992 sort classic using this car. And with the ford I made the NFS prostreet livery and made Gavin Mays’ car other than that the update is meh!! We def need some higher paying events tho

I like the Jimny!
Same, and a lot more than the previous model we got.
300 bhp fully tuned with the base engine.

So in all words, the porsche vgt is better?
What is going on with the Mission X? Porsche presented the car as AWD and in the game it‘s clearly rear wheel drive!? 🤨
Misson X just got removed from my garage after buying it. PD WTF!!!
Ah yes... PD want us to buy 20mil car that doesn't have any events to use.
Sure.
Gotta catch ‘em all
I know yeah, it's bad enough we get no more tracks, but the fact we haven't even new races or events to actually use the cars is a fooking joke 😕

The down force comes from the diffuser not the wing

Good, the f50 is a pleasure to drive!
