Earlier this month, various Fortnite leakers on Twitter had speculated that cars would be added to the game on 21st July. Now that the v13.30 update is out, that hasn't turned out to be the case, and it seems that Fortnite users will have to wait at least a couple days more to be able to drive around in cars.
Regardless, the update does bring forth further map changes and bug fixes. This includes the reopening of whirlpools, something gamers around the world had been wondering about for quite some time.

When will cars come to Fortnite?
As you can see, Fortnite players have already begun asking the question.
While there is no official confirmation as to when cars might be introduced, new gas stations have popped up across the map, which means that cars are not far off as well. As of now, many of the island's cars have been removed from the game.
However, the Fortnite | News & Leaks Twitter account posted the following regarding the Week 6 challenges. As you can see, the fourth challenge on the list is to "Gas us a Vehicle at Catty Corner".
This suggests that cars are going to be added sometime really soon, and well, we are ready!
