Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.56, and it's bringing three new cars for you to drive, plus a new body color option for an existing car and more.

Like previous Gran Turismo 7 updates before it, the star of the show when it comes to Update 1.56 is the cars, and this time around, you're getting an "elegant convertible", a multi-purpose truck, and an old reliable rally legend.

First up, it's the BMW Z4 3.0i '03, a convertible sports car that debuted back in 2002. You can see the competition version of this model in action at iconic racetracks like the legendary Nürburgring.

Your next new car in this update is the Mercedes-Benz Unimog Type 411 '62, a rather nifty and angular-looking truck that became popular among a range of outdoorsy folks due to its multi-purpose design.

Now that's a truck.

Last but by no means least, the final car being introduced as part of Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.56 is the Peugeot 205 GTI '88, a rally stalwart that's also a mainstay when it comes to commercially-available hatchback vehicles.

As well as all three of these machines, you can also get your hands on a new body color style for the Mazda3 Gr.4, which gives the car a sleek silver-and-orange look.

Of course, the new update also brings the usual slew of extras with it, including a new Cafe menu, new World Circuits events, and more track compatibility for Gran Turismo 7 AI Sophy, so you can test your skills against it.

If you're not familiar with Gran Turismo 7, it's...well, it's actually the eighth main installment in the Gran Turismo series thanks to the now-delisted Gran Turismo Sport.

Like its predecessors, the game is a sim-style racer that emphasizes verisimilitude. It offers the chance to drive a ton of real-world cars, including the ones listed above, as well as plenty of others from iconic real-world brands.

You can check out Gran Turismo 7 right now on PlayStation.
