Gran Turismo 7 adds Ferrari 499P, Porsche 963 June 11

Polyphony Digital said on May 23 that *Gran Turismo 7* will receive a free update on June 11 adding five cars, including Ferrari’s 499P and Porsche’s 963. The announcement was made during the Gran Turismo World Series 2026 Round 1 event in Milan and posted on the franchise’s official news site. The company described the release as the June update for the PlayStation racing title. An official preview page and trailer list the five incoming vehicles and set the rollout for Thursday, June 11. ### Which cars are actually in the June 11 update? The official *Gran Turismo* news post lists five additions: the Ferrari 499P, Porsche 963, Peugeot 9X8, BMW M Hybrid V8 and Porsche 911 Turbo S safety car. The June preview page says the trailer shown in Milan offered a first look at all five cars ahead of the update’s release. (gran-turismo.com) GTPlanet, citing the same reveal, reported that the update brings four current World Endurance Championship Hypercar-class prototypes plus the official WEC safety car. That matches the lineup shown on Gran Turismo’s own site, with Ferrari, Porsche, Peugeot and BMW represented among the prototypes. (gran-turismo.com) ### Why are Ferrari 499P and Porsche 963 the headline additions? Ferrari’s 499P and Porsche’s 963 are the most recognizable names in the pack because both are current top-class endurance racing prototypes. The official announcement does not add technical detail, but the lineup itself places two of the best-known modern sports car entries into *Gran Turismo 7* at the same time. (gtplanet.net) GTPlanet said the update covers “all four of the major manufacturer flavors” in the current WEC Hypercar field. That framing is from GTPlanet, not Polyphony, but it reflects the breadth of the list: Ferrari 499P and Peugeot 9X8 on the LMH side, with Porsche 963 and BMW M Hybrid V8 from the LMDh group. (gran-turismo.com) ### Was this announced by rumor or by the developer? Polyphony Digital published the update preview on its official *Gran Turismo* site on May 23. The U.S. and U.K. versions of the post both say a trailer for the June update releasing on Thursday, June 11 was shown during the World Series 2026 Round 1 event in Milan. (gtplanet.net) Community posts on X circulated the car list around the same time, but the developer’s own news page independently confirms the date and the five-car lineup. That means the June 11 release window and the named vehicles are no longer just community reporting. ### Is this a normal monthly patch or something bigger? (gran-turismo.com) The April 2026 update, version 1.69, added three cars and other features, according to PlayStation Blog. By contrast, the June preview centers on five new vehicles, with four of them drawn from contemporary endurance racing’s top prototype class. (gran-turismo.com) GTPlanet referred to the release as a “Hypercar Update,” a label that does not appear as the formal headline on Gran Turismo’s own post but fits the emphasis of the car list. Polyphony’s official wording remains simpler: it is the June update for *Gran Turismo 7*, and it arrives on June 11. (blog.playstation.com) ### Where can players verify the details before launch? Gran Turismo’s official news page hosts the June 2026 free update preview and the embedded trailer shown during the Milan event. The franchise news index also lists the May 23 post among the latest updates, alongside other World Series announcements tied to the same event. (gtplanet.net) June 11 is the next concrete date in the rollout. Polyphony Digital’s official preview says the five-car update for *Gran Turismo 7* releases that Thursday, with the Ferrari 499P, Porsche 963, Peugeot 9X8, BMW M Hybrid V8 and Porsche 911 Turbo S safety car all named in advance.
