Porsche and Polyphony Digital have finally unveiled what a Vision GT car could be and has been presented yesterday. This car would be virtually available at Gran Turismo 7
release date.
On 5 December, the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo was unveiled during the broadcast of the Nations Cup Final of the FIA-certified Gran Turismo Championships 2021 World Finals.
The Porsche Vision Gran Turismo is Porsche’s first concept study created specifically for use in a computer game. It will be available exclusively in Gran Turismo 7 , which will be released on 4 March 2022 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The Vision Gran Turismo features future-oriented versions of familiar Porsche design elements. The concept car exhibits the brand’s typical proportions with an especially sporty height-to-width ratio, an extremely low-set bonnet and very pronounced wings. The lights in the particularly purist front and the integrated air intakes create a visual link to the design language of the Taycan – a nod to the car’s purely electric drive. The rear is adorned with a markedly narrow light strip – a further development of the light signature that is familiar from the 911 and Taycan models. The clear emphasis of the brand identity continues in the interior, with the curved hologram display, tailored to the driver, which appears to float above the steering wheel. The low seating position underscores the car’s dynamic feel. The realistic surface appearances in the interior also play a major role. “We spent a long time considering the right material design consisting of carbon and titanium. The aim was to reduce weight while increasing performance,” says Markus Auerbach, Head of Interior Design at Porsche. “In addition, sustainable aspects also play a role in forward-looking projects. For example, we only used entirely vegan materials in the concept car.”
“The appeal of a Porsche comes from its purist design,” says Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital. “And in terms of engineering expertise, both we and Porsche follow the same perfectionist philosophy. We share the same passion for racing and are looking to the future of the car.”
The hardest thing to do now is to try to buy a PlayStation 5 from a third-party retailer.
See you on the track!
