Gran Turismo 7: How vehicle tuning and car customization works

Fans of the racing simulator Gran Turismo 7 will be pleased to learn that it has brought back the beloved Tuning Shop — a feature that allows drivers to tweak practically everything inside the car until their hearts' content — after being away for years. This return will modify the performance of each car as well as how players interact with the tuning options. Polyphony Digital, the game's developer, has also supplied an inexhaustible number of car decorations.

Drivers will be able to buy particular parts for their cars through the Tuning Shop menu once again, as revealed in the game's State of Play presentation in February. As a result, unlike Gran Turismo Sport, changing most automobile settings will necessitate first purchasing the necessary equipment with credits. To use hard comfort tires, for example, players must go to the shop and purchase them for 1,250 Credits.

Tuning Shop parts

The Tuning Shop appears to be stocked with a variety of intricate parts, including air filters, brake pads, tires, weight reducers, and even intercoolers, in a true Gran Turismo manner. Drivers will, however, need to be cautious while spending the game's cash, as parts range in price from 1,000 to 50,000 credits. Fortunately, if you are unfamiliar with particular items you want to buy, the item description will explain how they affect the vehicle.

Tuning settings

After purchasing a variety of parts, players can update a tuning sheet similar to that found in Gran Turismo Sport. As a result, expect it to provide a wide range of customization options, including entirely interchangeable suspensions, acceleration and brake sensitivity, steering, and supercharger tweaks, among others. As a result, these variables will affect the car's overall performance and handling characteristics, implying that even the tiniest details will be crucial in this latest entry.

Exterior customization

The series is also expanding the number of options available when it comes to customizing cars. Players are supposed to have access to over 650 aerodynamic pieces, such as spoilers and bumpers, as well as over 130 rim varieties and 1200 car colors. In addition, for the first time in the game, vast body alterations are included. Any cosmetic purchased here, like the Tuning Shop, will cost credits.
