With the July update for "Gran Turismo Sport", new tracks, new cars and a surprise: microtransactions. Only a year ago, Polyphony Digital confirmed that there would be no purchases in the game and now they have landed in the game. This may be due to the low numbers in the game. sales

Pay your dream cars with real money. In the United States, the option is already integrated and prices should be between $ 0.99 and $ 3, reports Kotaku.
92% of cars are available by microtransactions
According to the Polyphony Digital patch-log, all cars that cost less than 2,000,000 credits may also be available for real money. According to a GT Planet Bill, this would affect a whopping 92 percent of all vehicles.
