Porsche Vision Gran Turismo has arrived with the new Gran Turismo 7

The long-awaited game Gran Turismo 7 has officially arrived on the market, bringing many exotic cars, including the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo. The game will be available to players on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation 5.

It took eight years for Gran Turismo 7 to hit the market, as the previous generation was produced back in 2013. PlayStation users will be delighted, and the first reactions say so, because the interest in this realistic simulation of car racing is huge.

With the virtual car, Porsche demonstrated the creative power of its design team. Although designed only for the virtual world, it opens up exciting possibilities that are otherwise regimented in the design process for a production car.

“Projects like Porsche Vision Gran Turismo are especially valuable to us in the creative process. Further development of our clearly defined Porsche Design DNA and exchange with designers from other industries is an important part of our work, ”said Michael Mauer, Vice President of Porsche Style.

Low-set hood, pronounced wings, wide LED light strip at the back, are just some of the features of this concept. Access to the cabin is done by raising the roof, because the car is designed without a door. Inside, carbon and titanium were used, as well as vegan materials. The seats are positioned low, while in front of the driver is a curved display and racing steering wheel on which most of the controls are located.

It is not known whether this virtual car will go into production in the future.

2023 Porsche 911 Carrera drivetrain

Ever since it appeared in the mid-60s, the Porsche 911 has entered the hearts of all of us, becoming an icon of the automotive industry. Over time, the car evolved with the development of new high technologies. For the new Porsche 911 Carrera, which will hit the market in 2023, we know what it will look like, the only question left is the drivetrain.

2023 Porsche 911 Carrera drivetrain

It has long been speculated that the new 911 Carrera will be powered by a 4.0-liter six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with 394 hp (289 kW) and 309 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. It is an engine from the current 718 GTS. However, in an interview with Car Expert, board member Frank-Steffen Walliser said that would not happen. Could this leave the possibility that the new Carrera will be powered by a smaller displacement engine without turbo power?

The current Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine with 385 hp (283 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque, the base version. Reaches 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 182 mph (293 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which enables incredibly swift gear changes without interrupting the flow of power. It is equipped with double wishbone suspension on the front, carbon ceramic brakes, and 19/20 inch wheels with 235 / 40ZR19 (front) and 295 / 35ZR20 (rear) Pirelli tires. The most powerful version has 480 hp (353 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque.

The new Porsche 911 Carrera features a distinctive look. On the front bumper there are two large air intakes with vertical slats, while on the sides there are unusual lights. At the rear, the camouflage hides a lot, but we can see the centrally placed exhaust system pipes.

2023 Porsche 911 Hybrid on the snowy roads of the north

Porsche is working hard on a hybrid version of its most famous model, which has been hiding behind the number 911 for decades. After being caught testing at the Nürburgring Nordschleife a few months ago, the 2023 Porsche 911 Hybrid is now being tested on the snowy roads of the north.

Now spy photos show several prototypes that look reminiscent of the new generation 911 Carrera, which was also tested in the snow, and which should hit the market in 2023. On the front bumper there are two large air intakes with vertical slats, while on the sides there are still unusual lights that we saw on other Porsche prototype models. At the rear, camouflage and snow hides a lot, but we can see the centrally placed exhaust pipes.

When it comes to the powertrain, there is still no information. Some rumors say that the Porsche 911 Hybrid could have over 650 hp (478 kW), but this has not been confirmed.

Porsche is also testing the 911 Cabriolet on the snowy roads of the north. The car is covered in camouflage, and rumors say it will be powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, instead of the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six that runs the current model. The new 911 Cabriolet should hit the market in 2024.
