My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - The Willys MB

 Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Willys MB, a relic of the Second World War and the forefather of the modern SUV.


The Willys MB is a military vehicle was once originated with the Jeep name although there are some puzzles about the origin of the Jeep word via this car, although it was claimed from the slurring of the letters GP, the military term for General Purpose while others say it came for a character named "Eugene the Jeep" from the Popeye cartoon strip. No one knows what is the true origin of the Jeep term from this vehicle but at the end of the Second World War, these vehicles of war have now been transformed into production-based civilian vehicles and thus the sport utility vehicle craze was born.



The Willys MB will lap through the Goodwood Motor Circuit but how fast will it go? Let's roll the tape.


It did it in 2:15.422, which is almost a slow-and-steady experience for a light military vehicle used by American soldiers during the war.

What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
