The Gran Turismo 7 rendition of the Honda Civic Type R includes a loud beeping noise at redline, which also exists in the real-life car and stems from the Japanese-market Type R as a reference. This feature, aimed at indicating when to shift gears, has caused annoyance among players, with calls for its removal to enhance the gaming experience.
A ranking of all 12 Gran Turismo games has been released, with Gran Turismo 4 taking the top spot.
