In GT7, the Jesko replicates its real-world power and precision. It features a 5.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 producing up to 1,600 hp on E85, mated to the 9‑speed Light-Speed Transmission that enables lightning-fast shifts gran-turismo.fandom.com+5youtube.com+5tiktok.com+5en.wikipedia.org. Despite its hypercar roots, it’s surprisingly useful in the game’s varied events, especially in Group S category races.

What stands out is its top-speed capability—while the Absolut hit world-record 400 km/h runs, the Jesko Attack version brings aerodynamic muscle to corners reddit.com+1forums.forza.net+1en.wikipedia.org+1youtube.com+1. Tuners can extract serious downforce, making it both unbelievably fast and track-capable.

You want pure velocity? The Tomahawk X VGT is GT7’s ultimate land-your-wish machine. It hits around 390 mph (630 km/h) with its boosted VGT power plant—enough to spawn the Speed Archdemon trophy en.wikipedia.org+14redbull.com+14coludi.com+14. In reality, it’s a concept bike-car hybrid; in-game, it’s straight-line armor.

Handling is surprisingly manageable at lower speeds, but get it near top speed and you’re worshipping its aerodynamics. It’s a trophy-grabbing machine, but it also forces you to respect speed so much that one mistake at 600 km/h can ruin everything.

3. Toyota GR Supra Race Car ’19

GT7’s GT‑Grade machines shine when tuned right, and the ’19 Supra Race Car is no exception. Its 394 bhp @5,800 rpm and 59.9 kg‑m torque at 2,500 rpm give it a sweet mid-range punch. Weights about 1,380 kg—light enough to feel fun, but stable in corners.

With its Gr.4 tuning, it’s a staple for tight technical circuits. Its balance, combined with rear-wheel drive, means you can carry speed through apexes and still feel planted—making it a smart pick for club racers in the game.

4. Toyota GR Supra A90 (3.0)

The street‑car Supra in GT7 captures its real-world feel. Powered by BMW’s 3.0 L B58 inline‑6, output ranges from 250 to 335 hp, with 500 Nm torque. With the 8‑speed automatic or optional manual, it hits 0–60 mph around 3.9 seconds in real life—and it’s pretty quick in-game too.

It shines in A-class races thanks to its tuning ceiling and balance. It’s not about top-end scream; it’s about mid-range punch and handling clarity. If you want a modern, drivable sports coupe with real-world roots, this is it.

5. Pagani Huayra BC

FH5 fans know Pagani, but in GT7, the BC’s active aero and AMG-sourced 6.0 L twin-turbo V12 (around 750 hp real-world) make it a corner-carving weapon. In-game, it feels planted at high speed, and aero tweaks help you connect apexes smoothly.

It’s not just about visual flair—it’s about balance. Track versions conquer twisty sections with surprising ease. And even stock, its dynamic feels reveal why Pagani went to salon shows: precision and power in equal measure.

6. Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept

This rotary-powered legendary concept gets the GT3 treatment in GT7. The 3-rotor 20B engine delivers around 600 hp in Gr.3 trim. It’s light—under 1,300 kg—and the mid-engine layout makes it perfect for technical layouts.

The RX-Vision thrives in sweepers and flowing circuits. Its response is razor-sharp, and the weight shift is predictable. Push too hard and the rotary wants to snap, but when you’re in rhythm, it outmaneuvers bigger, heavier competitors with finesse.

7. Ford GT LM Spec II

The real-world Le Mans racer translates well in GT7. Its 3.5 L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 delivers around 600 hp, supported by a race-spec chassis and downforce for high-speed stability. Weighing about 1,200 kg, it’s light, tight, and razor-precise.

It rewards aggressive cornering with aerodynamic grip and moves like a knife through corners. If you’re into high-downforce endurance events or sim-style timed runs, this Ford GT is a control freak’s dream.

8. Nissan GT-R R35 (Nismo)

In GT7, the 2017 GT-R Nismo brings its real-life 600 hp VR38DETT V6 and AWD heritage straight into your garage. Stock weight around 1,730 kg is offset by its all-weather prowess and brutal acceleration.

On twisty stages, its AWD grip helps snap apexes closed under power. With tuning, R35s hold low‑60s lap times, making them staples in R class and time trials. It’s balanced, predictable, and always feels potent.

9. Chevrolet Corvette C8 Gr.4

Skipping the GT3 route, the Gr.4 version of the C8 uses a mid-engine 6.2 L V8, detuned to ~500 hp and paired with added aero. Real-life C8 has an 8-speed dual-clutch; in-game it’s smooth and responsive, with downforce added in racing spec.

This Corvette delivers muscle, but with matured handling—tight, rear-drive snaps, and obvious weight transfer. Great on both circuit club races and canyon runs, it brings American power into precise control.

10. Ferrari 488 GT3

The 488 GT3 is a staple in GT7’s Gr.3 category. Packing a 3.9 L twin-turbo V8 with around 550 hp and race aero, it’s a balanced mid-engine marvel. Weight is roughly 1,250 kg in-game, giving it excellent turn-in and responsiveness.

It’s a track favorite for a reason: instant response, predictable grip, and excellent cornering performance. Ideal for hot-lap runs and endurance events, it’s a versatile pick that gives real-world Ferrari characteristics in your virtual garage.
