1,300 digital horsepower
Porsche has shown the first photos of the Vision GT Spyder. The chances of you ever seeing a physical copy of it are very slim. This time this has not to do with the extremely limited availability of the model, but with the fact that the car is built from nothing but digital dots.
The letters GT in the name of this new Porsche stand for Gran Turismo, the racing game series for the PlayStation, meaning that the car only exists in a purely virtual form. We can reassure anyone who looks familiar with the design of the Vision GT Spyder despite the car being new. The Vision GT Spyder is the open version of the Vision GT presented at the end of 2021. That too was a pure pixel racer.
Porsche does not report technical details yet, but if we are honest we attach little value to them. After all, any manufacturer can draw a car and put a million billion imaginary horsepower in it. Porsche did just that with the closed Vision GT. That digital crack nose got 1,300 electric horses and zoomed to a speed of 100 km/h in 2.1 counts. The car should be able to race over the digital asphalt from a standstill in 2.1 counts at a speed of 200 km/h. Top speed: 350 km/h.
However, the design of the car is more interesting, because it is not entirely inconceivable that Porsche has incorporated design elements in it that you will see in the future to a greater or lesser extent at Porsche. Undoubtedly, the conceived interior, like that of the closed Vision GT, is finished with the virtual equivalent of vegan materials, meaning no digital bovines have traded a one-and-zero existence for an eternal existence in the world. cloud.
