Jaguar unveiled its third all-electric virtual gaming Jaguar sports car - Vision Gran Turismo Roadster. Having said that, it has been designed to ‘bring gamers the pure, visceral driving experience of an open-cockpit Jaguar sports car’. The Jaguar Vision GT Roadster comes with a body made of carbon fibre, aluminium alloy, and a central fin. Upfront, it features a redesigned grille along with a pair of LED headlights.
“We are delighted to announce the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Roadster, which completes the trilogy of Jaguar Vision vehicles for Gran Turismo 7. It was a great experience to work with the Design team at Jaguar. We look forward to drivers getting behind the virtual wheel in the new game. All three cars lend themselves perfectly to the exciting new user experience that GT7 will offer,” as commented by Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo Creator, President of Polyphony Digital Inc.
Performance-wise, the Vision GT Roadster with the digital prototype is powered by three electric motors that deliver a combined power of 1019 bhp and a peak torque of 1200 Nm. The vehicle is a four-wheel-drive that can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in less than 2 seconds. Furthermore, it comes with a top speed of more than 320 kmph. Besides this, the electric car prototype draws inspiration from the older Vision GT prototypes and D-Type. It is for the first time available in Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles from 4th March 2022.
“As a car designer, being part of the team that has delivered three virtual cars for the Gran Turismo series has been a dream project. Since the reveal of the Vision GT Coupé in 2019 and Vision GT SV in 2020, we wanted to curate the perfect way to present the full line-up of the three cars together when we revealed the Roadster – Gran Turismo 7 is the perfect way to do it. The visual effect is dramatic and wouldn’t look out of place on any track or circuit around the world, from the streets of night-time Tokyo to California’s Laguna Seca raceway,” as commented by Oliver Cattell-Ford, Exterior Designer, Jaguar Advanced Design.
