- GT7 1.48 is here, and with the May update patch comes the return of Volvo with both the 240 SE Estate and V40 T5 R-Design, the first generation Honda NSX Super GT500 car, R31 shape Nissan Skyline GTS-R, EG generation Honda Civic SiR-II, along with new motor swaps, events, classic JGTC collection book, and some additional scapes collations...
With that in mind here are my first impressions, review and overall thoughts on the GT7 May 1.48 update, and I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below - are you disappointed with 1.48, happy, or indifferent?

Volvos are cool tbh,I'd like to see more of them. S60 and the 850 would be cool
Not having the S60 Polestar or the V70R for GT8 would be criminal. I hope these new brands introduced in GT7 get way more cars for the future...
@@jfv2312 couldn't agree more,or the S60TCR too. That'd also be nice. I have a feeling they'll just all the update cars to GT8 and a few new ones but I hope not
Would love to see the 240 Turbo, 740 Turbo Intercooler, 850 T5.
S60 TTA
I own a V60 3.0 Polestar and an S60 3.0 T6 (Same engine, but standard Model) both in Rebel Blue. Deeing the V40 in Rebel Blue made my heart beat a tad higher.
Really nice to see the attention to detail in game, and the engine sound is amazing. Didn‘t know they built the T-5 as a 2.0 engine, I only know the 2.4l one which has a bit more power, but the sound is incredible!
I really hope they bless us with more Volvos in the year to come. I assume that those cars will be here to stay, that‘s what Kaz once said after all.
Whatever track Polyphony is working on better blow us away this coming month. Be it Motegi, Red Rock or something else, I just want this game to expand instead of retreading the same update plan. Still these cars are beautiful, cheers👍
Maybe a street circuit, apparently they take forever to make
@@joshmoment42 It better be Seattle circuit or Tokyo R246
That EG & Brick wagon ❤
This is probably the best update so far in 2024, all 5 cars are great particularly the V40 since I wasn't expecting much from it. The only real downside of course is not having a circuit but otherwise the update is still pretty good and very fun especially with that 240 Wagon (or Estate if you wanna call it that instead).
I’ve already made a copy of my dad’s old 940 Turbo with the 240, I do hope they add a 940 Turbo at some point
Oh boy. There is quite a bit to say about this update, and I'm typing down these thoughts before these future videos get uploaded, such as the engine swaps and car reviews.
For now, I want to go over by far the most surprising thing about this update. They remembered other track variations exists! There's a single player race at Autopolis Short, Maggiore West, and St Croix A. First times these tracks are ever used in this capacity. Which begs the question:
*Why did it take them this long?*
I don't know about anyone else, but I felt ever since GT4 introduced Tsukuba, Gran Turismo has increasingly got more ignorant of track variations, primarily focusing on just the main tracks. Considering some of the most fun tracks in GT for me are on the short side, like Clubman Stage Route 5, Grand Valley East, Seattle short, and even the West End variant of Maggiore in this game, I can't help but feel annoyed that PD includes these tracks to pad out the circuit lists, and barely does anything with them. They expect us to create our own races using these tracks either online or using Custom Races, but we aren't given a reason to care about the dozens of variations of Maggiore, and all the other short tracks they create.
This is just a small dose of a much longer rant in my mind of how Gran Turismo treats track variations, but the main point here is we never got a single new track for half a year now, and this could've been the perfect opportunity to include more short tracks in these races to give more variety to the single player experience. But instead, we keep getting the races on the same versions of Suzuka, Grand Valley, Le Mans, Monza, knowing there are way more shorter tracks. And only NOW did they finally remembered.
This is the best set of cars we have received this year.
Since spec 2
@@degeautd40Spec II wasn’t this year
Its not a bad update, i like the number of cars in the update. 5 is a good number to have
Volvo V40!! In rebel blue! A dream come true.🎉
I was really hoping a Museum would be added for Volvo in Brand Central, but I guess I have to wait until next month....
So happy with the NSX! It has been the car I had most been looking forward to for months and it's amazing! Happy we have the full GT500 trio now!
Glad to hear the Honda is good, I'm going to check all the new cars out later. Thanks for showing off all the visual mods for each of them in a quick way too!
NSX GT500, 120 ballast, set it back a few notches and this beadt destroys the LaMans grind.
Better yet, drop a turbo on it (high end rpms), keep stock weight and racing hard tires and one pit stop is needed (wet tires), and you should win 2/3 minutes ahead of 2nd place and do laps around 4:10´s.
Ho-ly! I love the Volvo wagon, it's so much fun to slide around, cruise and I adore being able to put some clean foggies on a car.
You can also add the newer front turn signal lights on the Volvo 240 in the livery editor.
Great update obviously no track not surprising..hopefully get least 2 before GT8
awesome you did a Team Kunimitsu build , I did too it looks really good in this livery 👍 the 08 NSX is amazing also
One thing I noticed with the 240 was that the graphics in chase cam were pretty bad for gt standards, especially the interior...
Once go vr u won't go back
AN ENGINE SWAP FOR THE SILEIGHTY?! FUCKING FINALLY
Turns out it’s a bit of an odd one though…
Sleeper wagon build time haha
Some sort of a AI difficulty update would be nice, ultimate difficulty or something like that
I get what you might be suggesting about the R31, being priced as a legendary. However, look at the clear-cut case of the R32, now becoming a saught after time piece. Still in the used car dealership but priced over 100k.
I haven't used the GTR or NSX yet but I am soooo disappointed in the other offerings. Both vehicles and engine swaps.
Tuned to 600pp NONE of them are competitive at the Tokyo event.
I was really looking fwd to the Volvo offerings.
Further note- the engine swapped Touring Civic is an absolute blast at Tokyo 600
Not surprising, you need lots of torque and top end in that Tokyo race. Volvos are more suited for technical tracks.
@samuelsiltala119 funny enough, I've just built the V40 to 700pp and it's actually a bit of fun at LeMan
Running Racing Softs, it comes in at roughly 680pp.
It can only reasonably get 2 laps but it does low 4. teens laps, which is enough to cover off the extra trips to the pits.
the R31 is lovely, but the speed warning sound above 100 km/h really drove me nuts, I wonder why it's not audible in this video
Maybe its a fault with you're copy of the game.
@@jamiecloughgaming25387No it’s an attention to detail thing GT7 does. Japanese cars of the time had a speed warning chime (it’s also present in the 86 of the similar era).
Just part of the car
@@pixelgaming0074Nismo R32 also has it.
@@pixelgaming0074 Hmmm I've never noticed it and I've driven the R32 plenty of times.
the best car is the Nissan GTSR
I am so hyped about the 240
Volvo 240 with engine upgrades and comfort soft tires are super fun! Didn't like that with Sports tires.
Hope you can swap the next gt500 motor into something. Be cool in civic or s2000
I think the Volvo '95 T-5R Would have been better for this update because it was the fastest estate car on the planet, The only estate car in a Rally Car Championship in '94, 7,500 made in '95, 350 sold in Sweden only and British Old Bill bought a shed load of them so a very fast and a very rare care...lol.....Just my opinion guys.....💀🖤🤘💅
Kaz never fails to disappoint us by replacing some cars with less powerful versions of past models as he replaced the 240 GLT with the 240 SE. Why exactly does he replace great cars from past games with boring less powerful versions? It was the same with the giulia gta being replaced by the boring sprint v. So disappointing
I do wish they had some kind of drivetrain swap🎉🎉
They should really add a fov slider
You mention the Civic's price is dumb but there have been cases of pristine musem-quality examples - and we can consider GT7's models and rendering to be a museum-quality example - have indeed sold for over $30,000 USD. The price is dumb but it's honestly not that farfetched.
I'd agree were it not for the car in question having just under 42k miles on the clock, far from a museum piece by any standard xD
Fingers crossed for a 2J swap for the 240!
You misspelled T5..
@@Leonidae both would be nice
How do you add the "offset" front registration plate?
It's a shitbox update but not shit at all, EG Civic is the first non Type-R Honda badged Civic that's so Gran Turismo, 240 and R31 having similar spec and both are really responsive to tuning and fun to drive, it's even better than the versions in older games, Overall it's rather pleasing with the 3 oldies instead of the disappointment of no new tracks and no current SGT cars added
I've fully tuned the Skyline, but there's something wrong with the suspension, it's like it doesn't have enough castor it's like it gets stuck in the turn. I'll keep poking at it. Has anyone else had this problem?
Have to have new track by August
Man I need ps5 now lol
Come on you know what that tow hook actually is right?
Bring GT Sport back from the light, Super GT!! 😡🤬
Hey, just wandering what do i type in to get that livery for the nsx
I can’t remember tbh, possibly GT2
Ok thankyou bro
Nsx and Volvo 240 for me
Decent update besides the station wagon, wish we coulda gotten a newer gr3 or a track instead of a slot taken up by such a lame car lol
I bought those cars just for the craps and giggles.
Like deployed.....
👀i will be the one on part with reality here.. No circuit. five cars great but same old thing again.. those cars could have been in the game at launch... i don't see the point in playing anymore.. i can't afford most of the cars irl but as a car guy addon cars should have been new cars from at least last year!. and not virtual concept cars.. or irrelevant cars or one or two that play on emotions of old players.. 🤷😡😡.. stop it pd.. upscale this game before more fatigue kill this game.
For me, this is one of the worst updates we’ve ever had. Yes, there are 5 cars but none that I could care about. Besides the NSX, I don’t find any of them cool and the upgrades are mediocre. Normally the updates have something for everyone, I am someone who loves sports cars and super cars. As the engine swaps are for cars I would never use. I’ll come back next month for the first time in over a year.
The brick wagon upgraded is actually super fun
The civic is actually fun, trying to keep the VTEC on, its not super slow, and it handles quite well (have not upgraded yet)
The NSX is fantastic, I loved the 2008 NSX, this new one I feel is even better
I have not driven the T5 yet so no opinion yet
And I have not driven the skyline yet
PD give us another car to use in Gr3 and you guys are still whinging. All are great cars in their own regards. Fully modified R31 is fun asf to drive!
@@Wiiillllson151that NSX is getting killed first BoP update. its straight line speed is OP. it’s all japanese cars + the NSX should be Gr.2 with the rest of the old GT500s
Volvo 240 supremacy
@@Wiiillllson151 PP for full power R31 is really low, even with SH tires and no weight loss packages it's at 520pp, it's rather slow but feels like going at 550pp or even 575pp level
Of all these cars I liked the Volvo V40 most. Would be great if they can add in S90 in future and light bars if possible.
Don't worry Edward your car is here to help bella from vampire oo
hello HSG Automotive
Its glory in vr
what engine is in the V40 T5 R-design

@@SolaricAngel116 Thank you
@@SolaricAngel1162.5 liter
Will there be a transmission swap for Honda Beat?
