I have so many dope cars in my garage on Gran Turismo 7. Not only are there a lot of cool cars, but I've made each one of them stand out in a big way by designing a custom livery for each one. I've created so many designs that now I have a stockpile of cars to photograph in GT7's Scapes photography mode.

Out of the 100+ cars that I own in-game, I have decided upon my top 10 favorites. This is mainly going by their looks, but also a few were included just because they are incredibly fun to drive.

Every photo today was taken in Japan with cherry blossoms. This is my favorite type of scene to shoot in. It also just so happens that they added a ton of new Japanese Scapes to the game with the latest update. So here we are now taking full advantage of that.


Porsche 911 GTS RS (991)

The most recent of all the designs on today's list. I went with a retro vaporwave style, which happens to be one of my favorites. I love how it turned out and it is just as fun to drive as it is to look at.


Chevrolet Corvette C8

This is one of the most simple designs on this list. I was aiming for a realistic design that I would actually get if I owned a C8. Blue and green are my favorite color combinations, so that's of course what I went with. I think the bright blue wheels that match the secondary color on the body are so sexy. A few years down the road I may be lucky enough to own one of these cars in the real world. One can dream.


Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series

In terms of design, this one here is in the running for my favorite of all. I am just obsessed with the Green Hell Magno color, which is actually a stock option for this car. Combine that with all of the black accents and a bunch of cannabis-themed decals and you get this beast. It's also one of the most enjoyable cars to drive. This is certainly one of if not the best cars that I own in my opinion.


Audi TTS Coupé

If you know me, then you know I love Audi. This is my favorite Audi model on GT7 besides the R8. They are missing some of the cooler ones like the RS3, RS5, RS6, and RS7. I'm also obsessed with dolphins and the ocean. I combined my love for Audi and dolphins to create this epic design. It may not be the fastest car on this list, but it handles so well and has decent speed.


Ferrari F8 Tributo

This is the only car on today's list that look stock. Trust me when I say it is far from that in terms of performance. In terms of its looks, yes I did keep it the traditional Rosso Corsa color and even have the stock wheels on it too. It just looks too good as is to change and also Ferrari isn't too keen on their cars being customized. It lowers the respect for their brand they say, so prestigious. There is no harm in doing it in a video game, but I still decided to follow tradition. This is one of the most creative photos I've taken in the game. I love the distance from the lens and the reflection in the water.


Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm

Although this car is Italian, the Quadrifoglio clover badge inspired me to go full Irish on this one. The combo of green with gold just looks so damn good to me. If I were to get to the other end of a rainbow, I'd expect this exact car to be waiting there for me.


Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4

I had to do this one for Hive. This is how epic promo of the best blockchain in the world should be. Anytime that I join an online race and select this car, there are yet another few people who see it and wonder what Hive could possibly be. Plus I mean it is a Lambo and we all know how much crypto bros love their Lambos.


Lexus LC500

Another design that drew inspiration from Hive. Although this one is more focused on the beehive aspect of it. This LC500 is dripping in both honey and steez. I think this car has one of the best exhaust notes and it makes perfect sense to make it look as good as it sounds.


Porsche 911 GT3 (997)

This was the first design that I created in GT7. I have a lot of nostalgia for Pokémon, so that's the bulk of this design. There is still a lot more going on too. I couldn't decide whether the car should be blue or green, so I did a two-tone design where each side was a different base color. It's the same creative design all around, but I think the 50/50 look adds something special to it all.


Toyota GR Yaris

You may look at the Yaris and think there is no way this car performs well. That's usually the case, but not so with the GR Yaris. This car can scoot and I can't be having a badass car like this looking plain. I went all out trying to make this the sexiest car on today's list. If you love women, then you cannot help but love this design.


I am infatuated with all of these cars tremendously and I'm not sure I could ever choose a favorite. I do wonder which of the 10 cars you would select if given the opportunity.

I've spent countless hours designing and photography cars in this came. Almost as much as I have driven on the track. Gran Turismo 7 is a car enthusiast's dream video game.

More to come in the future, so stay tuned.

Advertising within a game as popular as that, is genius. I didn't know you had it in you.

I just have to race a lot for all of my hours designing to pay off advertising-wise. Good thing this game is fun as shit and I can easily spend hours on the track with random people online. It is too bad that I don't have the ability to rent my car out so that other people could passively showcase Hive for me.

NFT royalties. Create the design/advertising. Anyone showcasing that brand could get paid out that way. Interesting.

Yes!!! Absolutely.

Major games that have added NFTs have so far have been a complete failure. Ubisoft and Ghost Recon are the perfect example of that. It won’t stay this way forever though. Eventually some game is going to do it in a way that draws everyone’s attention. Already we have Epic Games paying creators who create popular Fortnite maps with the new Unreal Editor. We are on our way to a new evolution of gaming. Combine these ideas with more advanced VR and we are really in for a treat.

But I think in this scenario, big business would be providing the ads in this fashion (which are incredibly consumer friendly and hardly intrusive), while the gamers are making little bits, which is fine, even great. In this case though Polyphony Digital and Sony would probably see that money as being theirs. Yet the percentage going to the gamers for choosing to advertise in this fashion would most likely go straight to purchasing more Sony products.

If someone in this crypto world of ours wanted to start from scratch and build a game of that caliber (nearly impossible feat), then offer these money making perks, what we'd see is some big hype campaign and a push to purchase tokens and packs and other junk of some kind, before the actual game is being developed, resulting in people buying another line of BS and broken promises, along with yet another reason to add to the long list of reasons why the general populace runs from the idea.

So much potential yet so poorly executed, almost every damn time.

Polyphony is pretty greedy with their microtransactions, so I imagine they wouldn't be quick to pay their creators much. I've never paid for in-game currency for GT7, but that also means that there are many cars that I will never obtain. I've played 70+ hours and have never had more than $3 million at once. There are dozens of cars that cost upwards of $20 million.

You're right though, it's nearly an impossible feat to ever create something from scratch that even comes close to comparing to GT7. They just have way too much money and experience to really compete with, at least for now. The way they see it, they're already making great money so no need to innovate. Once it becomes clear they will be able to bank even more, then that's when some of these new ideas will start to come to life Who knows, will probably be many years down the road. It's fun to fantasize about it though. I look forward to our youth's potential future. There will be even more opportunities than there is in 2023.

Someone would have to come along, offering a better deal to consumers, snatching their market, then they'd decide to "innovate".

I do enjoy thinking about it. I think that's what keeps me grounded in reality rather than throwing my money at every little thing that says it'll do something, eventually.

Can i play this game on pc?

No Gran Turismo 7 is PS4/PS5 only.

Those are looking so amazing. Nicely design

Why thank you. I am always happy with how my designs and photos turn out in this game.

🤔

the blue cars are all good, but I'd have to say the lambo stands out and looks awesome!

That right there is why I made sure to use the Hive Lambo as the thumbnail image.

I've always liked your designs, for over a week now I've been trying to customize mine in Forza Horizon 5 but it's very unintuitive the vinyl creation area, I'm still working on them hopefully next week I'll be able to bring them to Hive.

I first started with designs like this in Forza Motorsport 2. I was so young and it was difficult to do what I wanted. I've practiced a lot on NFS games, but GT7 has the best editor in my opinion. You can even upload your own .svg files and user images that other users have uploaded.

Be sure to shoot me a tag when you post that so I don’t miss it. I want to see.

Of course the one with HIVE logo is the best :)

I have to agree with you there 😜

the car is very beautiful with the hive logo

It seems to be a favorite among this community... Hmm I wonder why 🤔

maybe because we are very proud of this hive group

By the way, my favorite car is audi all time, but as we have seen that the car hive logo, I am also liking it more at the moment.

I need to create a Hive Audi R8. That might be my next creation.

I will wait for it.

That Hive lambo is dope. It looks like the same one I am gonna win in a few weeks, except mine is a matte blue.

Manifest that free Lambo dude! I know you'll drive like it deserves to be driven.

I don't think I will drive it. I am going to sell it right away and pay off my house.

My favorite is the Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4. The design is very cool and another good thing is it can also spread awareness to people. Just like when you said that you use it on online race.

Lambos are awesome out of the factory, but turning one in to a driving Hive-promo just makes it even more elite!

If I could only choose one, then... I don't think I would make a decision for the rest of my life.

It would be impossible to choose only one. This is why I have so many in my virtual collection.

I love the second one car Porsche the color combination is awesome, beside this all cars looks really great loved to know about it. I wish I could have one like this😍

That combo of colors is my favorite. There is just something about it that reminds me of good times at the beach.

Im really not a big fan of Lamborghini's but the hive logo on it... And the red and white does have quite a nice look to it... It looks almost esthetically pleasing

!PIZZA

Lambos are overly obsessed over which lowers their coolness, so I understand. They still are Italian beasts though 🐂

They are😂 well I can think you'll be much happier crying in a Lambo than a VW polo😂😂

The Chevrolet Corvette C8 is pretty mind-blowing. However, the Lamborghini Huracán also has a simplistic, yet striking appearance.

The C8 is a car that I often see in real life because it's fairly obtainable and easy to maintain. I have no ever seen one quite like my blue/green design though.

Really can't go wrong with a Lambo.

ALL THOSE CARS LOOK AMAZING. I didn't think the graphics of Gran Turismo 7 were going to be so gorgeous, what device did you play it on?

Btw, you gave me a pretty awesome idea too, I had never considered using liketu to share nice pictures of games with nice graphics XD

I play this on PS5, but it also is playable on PS4.

Liketu is great for so many things. I’m glad that we have an awesome app like that and I look forward to seeing how it evolves over time.

You really outdid yourself with this one; great custom designs for the cars and choices for car models with some cool spots to take photos at with...you sure do get the absolute best out of Gran Turismo 7 😎

I really appreciate that comment. I spend a lot of time on these and I’m glad some other people besides just myself can enjoy the results.

I love sports cars and I don't think there's a guy in the world who doesn't like a sports car. All the pictures you have posted of cars are excellent and attractive. But I love the most Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 and Lexus LC500.

There are guys who claim to not like sports cars... but that's most likely because they never have driven one before or they were scared straight by riding in the passenger seat of one.

I really appreciate your choice its too good or your work is great. I like very much Lamborghini is your favorite car. I think you know a lot about cars And you are very crazy about cars.

Crazy about cars is an understatement 😜

Hahah true 😍

You are vetu familiar with cars. That's quite interesting even though they are not real cars. Hahaha
I like the Hive Lambo
It is very fine

Being obsessed with cars all of my life makes them very familiar to me indeed.

I had to do this one for Hive. This is how epic promo of the best blockchain in the world should be. Anytime that I join an online race and select this car, that are yet another few people who see it and wonder what Hive could possibly be.

Using the Hive logo in multiplayer video games and/or in virtual worlds is indeed a very good way to advertise the Hive blockchain. In addition to the Gran Turismo series, the Forza Horizon series are also very popular. And the Second Life, as a virtual world is also very popular. It has its own economy with the Linden Dollar (L$).

I think also adding a QR Code that leads to Hive.io would be a great marketing tactic.

I wish Forza Horizon was on PS5. That game looks so fun.

It is indeed fun. I played Forza Horizon 3-4 in the recent past on one of my friend's Xbox One (S or X). I do not remember exactly which one. I have not played it so far, but I saw videos about Forza Horizon 5. It is similar to the previous Forza Horizon episodes. The soundtrack of the Forza Horizon games is also very enjoyable.

Good luck and have fun, if you have the chance to play any of the Forza Horizon games.

Good soundtracks are very important for racing games. NFS Unbound has one of the best racing soundtracks in my opinion.

I have not heard and I have not played NFS Unbound (2022) so far. Currently my favorite NFS soundtracks are the Carbon (2006), The Run (2011), Most Wanted (both 2005 and 2012 too) and the Rivals (2013). From the older NFS games, probably the NFS III: Hot Pursuit (1998) has the best soundtrack.

NFS always has some awesome music.
