Porsche Vision Gran Turismo

Gamers are certainly familiar with the game Gran Turismo which this time offers a new car, the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo. It is a Porsche and Polyphony Digital project that will be available in Grand Turismo 7 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

With this virtual car, Porsche has 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.

A car of purist design, with a centrally placed engine and an even width-to-height ratio, reveals Porsche’s passion for racing and a look into the car’s future. Low-mounted hood, pronounced wings, wide LED light strip at the back, are just some of the features of this concept. The car is designed without a door.

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.

The game will be released in early March 2022, so we will soon know more details about the performance of this virtual car. Maybe the concept becomes a reality.

Piech GT

The Piech GT is the first electrically powered car that Toni Piech will offer to customers from 2024. Toni Piech is the great-grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, the founder of the famous German car company, who would be proud of the sporty electric two-seater project.

The car was introduced in 2019 as the Mark Zero Concept. For now, it is known that the Piech GT electric two-seater will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 600 hp (441 kW). It is equipped with a 75 kWh Lithium-Ion battery that provides a range of just over 500 kilometers on a single charge. The battery can be charged up to 80 percent in eight minutes thanks to the fast charger. Fast charger specially developed by TGOOD enables charging in under five minutes. It reaches 62 mph in 3 seconds and 124 mph (200 kph) in 9 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).

“We created a sports car with a timeless design, just like we would dream ourselves. And we spoke at length with car enthusiasts about what is missing on the market. The result was a modern classic that is not bound by any consumer cycles. Drivers of our sports car should enjoy every moment they spend behind the wheel, ”says Rea Stark Rajcic, co-founder and CDO of Piëch Automotive.

The Piech GT is mounted on 20-inch wheels with 255 / 40-20 (front) and 295 / 35-20 (rear) tires. There are also 21-inch wheels with 265 / 35-21 (front) and 305 / 30-21 (rear) tires.

Toni Piech is convinced that there will be enough customers who will set aside around 200,000 euros for his first model. Besides GT two-seater, an ambitious company, which plans to produce 10,000 cars a year, will soon offer an electric four-seater model and an SUV.
