It has been over a month since the previous Gran Turismo 7 updat,e which brought us an iconic car in Ayrton Sena's McLaren MP4/4 race car. The previous update also added three other cars to the racing simulation game.
In Update 1.23, Polyphony Digital is adding three new cars including a world record-breaking electric vehicle. The update also brings new Café Menu Book entries and several new races.
The highlight of the new update is the addition of the Volkswagen ID.R '19. The electric time attack race car beat several race track records after it debuted in 2019.
Originally built to break the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record, the VW ID.R is the current king of the track. The race car set a time of 7:57 beating the previous records by 15 seconds. The world record run was driven by Romain Dumas.
Dumas also set the fastest time around the iconic Nürburgring with the ID.R for an electric vehicle. The VW ID.R also broke the records for the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb and Tianmen Mountain.
