Mazda Brings RX-Vision GT3 Evo to Gran Turismo 7 in 2026 as Gr.3 Upgrade

3 articles · Updated · playfront.de · Aug 16

Summary

  • A 2026 content update will add Mazda’s RX-Vision GT3 Evo to Gran Turismo 7, replacing the current RX-Vision GT3 Concept in the game’s eSport lineup.
  • Six years after the original model debuted in Gran Turismo Sport, Mazda and Polyphony Digital are pitching the Evo as an overdue Gr.3 refinement after the older car lost grip against newer rivals in tighter sections.
  • Polyphony has not disclosed performance figures, but GT3 Evo updates typically target aerodynamics, cooling and drivability—areas likely to shape its Balance of Performance role in Gran Turismo World Series regulations.
  • The update extends Mazda’s established virtual GT3 program rather than launching an all-new car, with lap-time gains from the aero changes still to be proven once a patch date is announced.
