Vision Gran Turismo releases digital brakes
How wonderful it must be as a car manufacturer if you don’t have to conform to the rules and regulations that apply in reality. With this Vision Gran Turismo, Ferrari releases all brakes.
Meet the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo, a fierce hybrid in which the Italians have not let themselves be hindered by any sense of reality. The Vision Gran Turismo is therefore a purely fictional car that only exists in digital form. The show car, built from digital ones and zeros, is therefore interesting, because it shows how an extremely extreme model of the brand would dry up if it could go completely wild during its development.
The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo comes at a striking time. The brand is presenting the digital pixel racer around the 75th anniversary of its first car: the 125 S. Previously, Ferrari celebrated such a party with the presentation of a new top model, such as the F40 and F50. In contrast to those two top models, the creation drawn for computer game Gran Turismo has only one seat on paper and not one, not two and not three, but four engines.
One of those engines is the 3.0 V6 that is also in cars like the 296 GTB, although in this case that machine should be good for – yes – 1,030 hp. Three electric motors together add 326 hp to the total power. On paper, the four-wheel drive creative splurge is mainly made of carbon fiber and, according to the Italians, influences from historic SP models (Sports Prototype) have been incorporated into the design. You have undoubtedly already noticed: the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo will not go into production. Ferrari is going to make a life-size scale model of it.
