      'Gran Turismo 7' Is Worth the Wait

      by

      When the original Gran Turismo launched on the first Sony PlayStation in 1997, each vehicle was built from 300 polygons. Today, more than 500,000 tiny triangular shapes create the cars in the latest racing simulator, Gran Turismo 7. The result of 25 years of research, processing power, and improvements is simply breathtaking.

      Among the wealth of polygons are smaller details that make GT7 more beautiful than past Gran Turismo titles and, arguably, any other video game before it. It’s the static chassis slouch in photo mode from the car parked with its front wheels angled. Getting pulled off course from standing water on the racing surface. And, after an event, the audible metallic clinking from steamy brakes fresh off the circuit. That barely scratches the surface of what Gran Turismo is today, but when game studio Polyphony Digital’s CEO, Kazunori Yamauchi, said this is the most complete Gran Turismo game ever, he wasn’t playing.The Realest Driving SimulatorToday’s gaming hardware highlights some of our favorite features about GT7. Sure, it’s available on PS4, but the more powerful PS5 console connected to a 4K television is truly the best way to experience everything GT7 wants to show you. The HDR visuals during normal gameplay, and ray-tracing technology that’s only available during replay, photo, and demo modes, had us window shopping the car dealership menus just to admire the visuals.

      When GT7 teased its adaptive trigger and haptic feedback functionality for Sony’s PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, racing fans rejoiced—those without an amateur NASA spaceship simulator in their living rooms, anyway. Although the adaptive triggers do deliver a sense of electronically assisted accelerator or brake like you’d find on most cars today, it’s no replacement for an actual direct-drive steering wheel and pedals. However, the resistance in both triggers does make for the most dynamic sense of driving we’ve experienced from a controller. The trigger for acceleration feels different than the trigger for braking, just like real foot pedals. Rather than shaking like an angry rattlesnake, the haptic feedback accurately adds vibration to specific parts of the controller. Put the right side of the car onto curbing, and only the right side of the controller rumbles. It’s not as impressive as the adaptive triggers, but feeling even the most subtle feedback in your hands from drivetrain or tire movement is worth the extra battery consumption.

      There’s a noticeable difference between the driving physics in Gran Turismo 7 and the series’ last installment, Gran Turismo Sport. It really comes down to a better depiction of suspension travel and car control. It doesn’t seem like cars are clinging to a horizontal plane atop a flat surface anymore. The chassis twists and bends independently from the tires. This is especially obvious in the cockpit camera: as your driver saws at the wheel, there’s head bobble and shake. Wet surfaces also highlight this. The racetrack’s best line will begin to dry after lapping, returning grip and different driving characteristics to that area of the track. During a race at the Tokyo Expressway, it was raining harder in some corners than others.The 3D spatial audio was a little harder to perceive. This might be because early into our review time we opted to fully crank the engine noise, a setting in the various menu options. Players can also adjust the volume for tire squeal, transmission, and opponent’s car sound. There were no deep burbles or dramatic backfires in any of the cars we sampled from GT7, but overall the improved directional audio, surface, and wind noise helped simulate something real. The 3D audio is easier to notice in replays, as the camera pans across multiple vehicles, all shifting and accelerating at different points. It doesn’t just sound less like a herd of cars, but more like different cars at different speeds in different parts of the track. Picture ThisThe Gran Turismo photo mode, Scapes, has received more configurability options. Extra details like brake dust, tire dirt, and damage can be added to cars in Scapes mode, adding to the realism of photographing a car on snow or dirt. Now, with ray-tracing, the images created can be difficult to discern from reality. Scapes uses more than 2500 locations in over 40 countries. We found a few familiar Detroit streets (not too far from Car and Driver headquarters), parking garages, and buildings from our own photo shoots in this mode.

      Sony Interactive Entertainment

      Replay cameras deserve a mention, too. The positions and panning during replays are the best they’ve ever been. And unlike a huge moment during a Formula 1 race, the folks in the booth seem to know when not to cut away from the action. It’s a small detail, but that’s why this series is so significant. Everything matters, down to the final 500,000th polygon.Yes, We’re OpenThe new Café location is the most guided single-player Gran Turismo experience of any title in the series. This area, along with the Licensing Center, is really where the first few hours of gameplay take place. It’s a clever way to introduce new players to the game, but people familiar with Gran Turismo are going to try to bust through the initial championships as quickly as possible. Not every location on the map is immediately available, so this is required driving and reading for every player to unlock online play, the tuning shop, and even photo mode. The Café is the inner hub of the world map. It gives objectives, pointing you where to race next and which cars to collect, but it also gives players brief historic information on each car they’ve collected. It also acts as a trophy cabinet for awards you’ve earned from winning championships.

      In an effort to educate new and returning car enthusiasts, GT7 goes further than introducing cars with basic stats and specs. Historical context is given in brief excerpts throughout. The groups of cars you collect are meaningful and have things in common, sometimes showing a line of progression in either a brand or vehicle segment. Rather than make you Google car names, GT7 puts up a solid effort to provide important context for everything you unlock. Dude, Where’s My Car(s)?At launch, GT7 will carry more than 420 different cars, which is less than the number in Gran Turismo 2 back in 1999. The 420-car start is a big improvement from Gran Turismo Sport’s 168-car launch in 2017 that would later grow with free updates beyond 330 cars today. Sony says more cars and tracks will be added but hasn’t officially announced when or how many.

      Sony Interactive Entertainment

      So, we the public want more cars and tracks. GT7’s spectacularly detailed re-creation of everything from a 2014 Honda Fit hybrid to BMW M3 GT2 race car only strengthens this desire. There have been some exciting newer cars added to the dealerships, including the Nissan Z, the 10Best-winning Toyota GR86 from Gran Turismo Sport, and every insane Gran Turismo Vision concept. GT7 even provides your choice of either the 335-hp 2019 Toyota Supra, or the 382-hp 2020 Supra. But why is the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor still the freshest Ford pickup in the game? Where’s the new Raptor, or better yet, where’s the 702-hp Ram 1500 TRX?One More LapWe expect the single-player progression and achievement element in GT7 to easily turn this video game into an unhealthy obsession. We spent roughly an hour or two redoing our licensing tests to beat our colleagues’ time over at Road & Track. Our favorite aspect of Gran Turismo Sport was the highly competitive online racing. GT7 has that too, and this is the title that will ultimately get people more motivated to experience the Easter Egg hunt that is finding a PlayStation 5.

      Royal Enfield Constellation Name Trademarked – New 650cc Motorcycle?

      by

      Modified RE 650 image for reference. Credit – Neev MotorcyclesRoyal Enfield is presently developing at least three new 650cc models, one of them could probably wear the ‘Constellation’ monikerRoyal Enfield has plenty of exciting new models slated to come out in the next few months. The company is currently on the verge of launching Scram 411 which is essentially a road-biased version of Himalayan in the next few days.Apart from this, the Chennai-based bike manufacturer is also developing multiple models based on the 650cc platform. At least three iterations of the upcoming 650cc motorcycle have been spied in recent times. Other than this, there is also a 350cc roadster on the anvil which is expected to be named Hunter 350.Royal Enfield Constellation Trademark FiledIn a recent development, Royal Enfield has filed a new trademark for the name ‘Constellation’ which could be utilised in one of the upcoming new motorcycles. Going by the history behind the moniker, we believe it could be used in one of the 650cc models. For reference, Constellation 700 was a motorcycle sold by Royal Enfield in North America between 1958 and 1963.It was a predecessor to the erstwhile Interceptor 700 and was equipped with a 692cc parallel-twin motor which churned out 36 horses. It was essentially two engines of Bullet 350 combined into a single unit with 2 cast-iron barrels and twin alloy heads. Later, displacement for this motor was increased to 736cc since the earlier motor was a bit too small for the likings of Americans.Royal Enfield Constellation Name Trademark FiledPossible UsageAs mentioned earlier, there are possibly three versions of the 650cc motorcycle- a cruiser which is expected to be called Super Meteor 650, a single-seater bobber named SG650 or Shotgun 650 and a roadster. The last option is likely to be a 650cc equivalent of Classic 350 and could probably wear the nametag of Constellation 650.However, it is still a speculation as there has been no official confirmation regarding any of this. Constellation 650 could be the sportiest of all 650cc motorcycles since back in the day, the original Constellation was considered a ‘sporty’ motorcycle for that era as it could clock a top speed of 177 kmph.Royal Enfield Constellation Expected SpecsThe upcoming 650cc roadster will share the same platform and engine as features in the current 650 Twins- Interceptor and Continental GT. Speaking of engine, it will be powered by a 648cc parallel-twin engine that currently churns out 47 bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper and assist clutch.Original Royal Enfield Constellation 700 From The 1960s. Image from RE Constellation Service Manual. Credit – Hari Shreyas.It will also probably be the last of the three upcoming 650cc bikes to be launched by Royal Enfield. This motorcycle is expected to make its debut by the end of 2023 or early 2024 by the time both Super Meteor and Shotgun would have launched in the market. When launched, it could be positioned between Shotgun 650 and Super Meteor 650. More

      Dodge Quietly Removed the Manual-Transmission Challenger Hellcat Sometime in 2021

      by

      If you go to the online configurator for the 2022 Dodge Challenger, you can spec all kinds of crazy combinations for paint color, stripe packages, interior trims, wheels, spoilers, hood scoops, the works. You can pick an engine ranging from a 303-hp 3.6-liter V-6 to an 807-hp SRT Super Stock. But if you want a 2022 model with the 6.2-liter Hellcat supercharged V-8, you can’t choose a six-speed manual.While I only noticed this issue today, Challenger enthusiast forums have been talking about it since 2021. I asked Dodge what’s up with the stick-shift Hellcat, and a spokesperson explained that the six-speed manual was removed from the configurator late in the 2021 model year. The spokesperson described it as a temporary situation and said that a revised calibration for this powertrain combo will be coming that will allow the stick-shift Hellcat to go on sale again. The spokesperson was not able to say when ordering will reopen for the manual Challenger Hellcat but specified that production of stick-shift models was suspended in November 2021.It’s a disappointment, for sure, because the manual Hellcat was a charming mix of modern performance and retro engagement. But fear not: Challenger R/T models with the 375-hp 5.7-liter V-8 and Scat Packs with the 485-hp 6.4-liter V-8 are both still available with a six-speed manual.

      Upcoming Jeep Electric SUV Debuts – Smaller Than Renegade

      by

      Upcoming Jeep Electric SUVThe upcoming electric SUV from Jeep will share its architecture with the upcoming RAM 1500 electric pickup truckJeep has been very vocal about its intentions to go green in the coming future. The plans have received a fresh impetus after the company, along with other subsidiaries from FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) formed part of a new conglomerate called Stellantis in 2020.Now, the Italian-American brand has globally revealed images of its first-ever fully electric model. There are other details attached to these images but Jeep has confirmed that this new electric SUV will make its debut sometime in the first half of 2023.Upcoming Jeep Electric SUV – Exterior DesignThe images reveal a concept prototype of a compact SUV that is smaller than Jeep Renegade that will be based on a born electric platform. Exterior design of this concept is in line with the current Jeep models which flaunt a signature seven-slat grille upfront but doesn’t feature a mesh interior. The faux grille is flanked by LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs on both sides.The front grille also sports an ‘e’ symbol to distinguish itself from its fossil fuel powered siblings. It gets traditional Jeep characteristics including the flared wheel arches and muscular front and rear bumpers which lend it a brawny appearance. The electric SUV is wrapped in a yellow and black dual-tone paint scheme that accentuates its sportiness. Rear door handlebars have been incorporated into the C pillar.Upcoming Jeep Electric SUV2023 Jeep electric SUV receives the same alloy wheel designs as seen in the facelifted avatar of Compass Trailhawk which was launched recently. It also sports a black decal on its hood similar to Trailhawk. At rear, the EV boasts a sculpted tailgate which features a roof-mounted spoiler, wraparound LED tail-lamp and the Jeep logo at the centre. Black plastic claddings around wheel arches and door arches further amplify its SUV stance.Jeep’s electrification planEarlier last year, Jeep unveiled plug-in hybrid derivatives of Renegade, Wrangler, and Grand Cherokee SUVs and soon plans to introduce off-road friendly versions of Grand Cherokee and Trailhawk with hybrid powertrains. Previously, Jeep had revealed its vision that by 2025 all its models will be electrified- either fully electric or hybrid powertrains.The yet-unnamed electric SUV will be heading towards European markets first followed by other international markets. It is expected to be laced with all modern technologies and is likely to offer all-wheel-drive capabilities as well. As mentioned earlier, it will be an entry-level EV smaller than the Renegade compact SUV and will be underpinned by the STLA platform developed by Stellantis.Apparently, there will be four different iterations of this STLA architecture including- STLA Small, STLA Medium, STLA Large and STLA Frame. Most electric SUVs under the various subsidiary brands of Stellantis will be based on one of these STLA platforms. For example, Stellantis also teased the upcoming Ram 1500 electric pickup truck that will also be based on the STLA architecture. More

      Mahindra Electric SUVs Concept 2nd Teaser – XUV300, XUV700, XUV900?

      by

      Mahindra XUV900 Electric SUV teased?Last year, it was revealed that Mahindra will be launching 9 new products by 2026 including two born-electric vehiclesEven with ongoing challenges, Mahindra has been able to put its plans to action in most parts. Both new Thar and XUV700 have already received an overwhelming response. Other upcoming launches include new-gen Scorpio, Bolero and XUV300 and 5-door Thar. Enthusiasts are also eager to know how Mahindra will tackle the EV space.Mahindra new EVs detailsThe EV race is expected to intensify phenomenally in coming years. Just like other carmakers, Mahindra will be looking to take an early lead in this space. The company already has E-Verito, but it hasn’t been able to establish itself as a popular electric car. To ensure a better market response, Mahindra will be pushing a more aggressive EV strategy in the near future.It includes three new electric SUVs, which are expected to be launched during the period 2024 to 2027. These will be unveiled in July 2022. Part of the company’s ‘Born Electric Vision’, these electric SUVs have been designed by UK-based entity Mahindra Advance Design Europe (MADE).It is currently headed by Pratap Bose, who had earlier worked at Tata Motors for around 14 years. He is credited with the design of several successful models such as Nexon, Harrier and new Safari. Below is the second teaser of the upcoming Mahindra Born Electric Vision SUVs concept.An electrifying presence that feels so human, it can communicate with you. With our Mahindra Advanced Design Europe team, we reimagine ‘Born Emotional’. Unveiling soon in July 2022.Know more: https://t.co/SubOYLyKSQ#BornElectricVision pic.twitter.com/rD5uQ6gpOk— Mahindra Born Electric (@born_electric) March 2, 2022All three new electric SUVs will be utilizing an entirely new ‘Born Electric’ EV platform. One of these will be a compact SUV. It will be different from the electric version of XUV300 that was recently spotted on road tests.

There’s a strong possibility for this, as XUV700 platform supports EV powertrain.Third EV product from Mahindra could be the XUV900 coupe. It will be the first four-door SUV coupe in the company’s portfolio. As far as design is concerned, XUV900 will be unlike any other Mahindra SUV we have seen thus far.Mahindra EVs common featuresGonig by the teasers, it is apparent that Mahindra’s new electric SUVs will share quite a few styling bits. It includes C-shaped LED lights at front and rear. There will be variations, but the core design philosophy will be largely the same for all three electric SUVs.Mahindra Electric SUV ConceptAs already seen with XUV700, a number of hi-tech features including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can be expected with Mahindra’s electric SUVs. XUV700 comes with features such as front collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, smart pilot assist, driver drowsiness detection, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, and traffic sign recognition. Several new ADAS features could be added to Mahindra’s new electric SUVs.Range of these new electric SUVs could be around 400-500 km.
