Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo enhances the hypercar concept of the prancing horse. The best thing? We can all have it, here’s how.
Is called Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo and, as the name suggests, it is the first hypercars designed by the Maranello house to enter the project Vision Gran Turismobased on the popular PlayStation video game series.
The goal, with the birth of this extraordinary car, is to enhance the extreme concept of the hypercar, with a attractive design that mixes the past with the future: if on the one hand there are vague similarities with the Cavallino racing cars built between the 60s and 70s, on the other it is impossible not to see this car as a real spaceship.
The Maranello engineers have imagined their own version of the Hypercars for Vision Gran Turismo like a single-seater equipped with a closed cockpit and which one can say goes a little beyond the laws of physics. Now we will find out why.
Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo: a 1,030 horsepower monster that you can drive too, that’s when
All you need to drive the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo is the video game Gran Turismo 7available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, to download for free starting next year December 23rd.
In that way we will be able to understand firsthand what it is like to drive a car that comes with a 1030 horsepower engine for 9000 rpm and a torque of 900 Nm at 5550 rpm. Attention, because it doesn’t end here: the monstrous thermal must be added three electric motors with a total of 326 horsepowerinstalled on the rear axle and the other two on the front wheels.
The change has dual clutch and eight reports and comes directly from the world of Formula 1.
We know what you’re thinking: how much can we think about racing in Gran Turismo 7 with this incredible Ferrari? The total weight of 1250 kilograms declared by the manufacturer will be able to reach 100 kilometers per hour in about less than 2 seconds, while we will already be at 200 in less than 5.
There expected maximum speed is 350 kilometers per hour: according to some calculations and estimates, a car like this transplanted into the real world would be able to run at Fiorano in less than one minute and ten seconds. For a Gran Turismo car that would be a tremendous achievement, considering that the record belongs to Michael Schumacher on Formula 1 who lapped in 55″999 with the legendary F2004.
Finally, to recreate the sound, the focus was on the greatest possible fidelity to the inspiration taken for the engines present in this fantastic hypercar. Maranello engineers worked with Polyphony Digitalthe Japanese developer who created the series, to guarantee us a breathtaking sound.
Therefore, all that remains is to wait for December 23rd to find out how the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo will behave on the virtual circuits of the game for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5. In any case, we will also have the opportunity to see it live, given that a scale reproduction will be exhibited in the Maranello Museum in 2023.
