GT7 - MASSIVE NEWS: NEW CARS AND BRANDS CONFIRMED BY GT + EVEN MORE NEWS
Theory 1.1 - Including some Chinese car brands, to launch the GT7/GT8 game in China.
Theory 1.2 - No Chinese car brands except the confirmed Xiaomi.
Theory 2 - Only cars of tuning brands who wins the SEMA Gran Turismo Award, or the candidates' cars that selected by GT.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Since there are Xiaomi and Yangwang, h0ngcom guess one of the nexts is Zeekr, to make something like "China's XYZ" extra menu.
However, many people don't want to buy Chinese products, so I think GT7/GT8 will have some ways for players to get the trio in game for free, or this extra menu is a bonus, an optional mission that is skippable/removable.
The cars maybe
2025 Xiaomi SU7 Ultra (1527 hp)
2024 Yangwang U9 (1287
hp) (not the 2025 Yangwang U9X in this extra menu to match the number with others, I think)
2023 Zeekr 001
FR (1248 hp)

The video has Chinese subtitles only, no English.
H0ngcom believes Yamauchi said about this in video for China only, not in videos for other countries, as it could cause dissatisfaction among non-Chinese players.

h0ngcom think it is just a rumor, since Yang Wang is a joke for western language speakers, and more than one car of Xiaomi (SU7 and VGT) are more than enough for GT7/GT8 to recognize this nationality of car.
