This futuristic racer, intended to captivate a new audience, boasts impressive features that promise exceptional performance on the digital track.
At the heart of the Vision Gran Turismo lies its groundbreaking powertrain, comprising four electric motors delivering a staggering total output of 1,088hp and a massive 1,020Nm of torque. Each wheel is driven by a 272hp electric motor, enabling the car to sprint with astonishing agility and precision. With a sophisticated 4WD system and active aerodynamics, Skoda aims to ensure unrivalled performance across all track conditions, pushing the boundaries of digital racing.
Powering this electric powerhouse is an 87kWh lithium-ion battery, seamlessly integrated into the chassis to optimize weight distribution and enhance driving dynamics. Drawing design inspiration from the iconic Skoda 1100 OHC Spider racer of 1957, the Vision Gran Turismo boasts a sleek and aerodynamically optimised silhouette, accentuated by sharp lines and modern detailing.
Inside the cockpit, the driver is greeted by a minimalist yet futuristic environment, featuring a central driving position and a bespoke sports bucket seat designed for maximum comfort and support during intense racing sessions. The innovative yoke-like steering wheel, crafted from carbon fibre, offers precise control and responsiveness, while a crystal stone display provides essential performance metrics at a glance.
As Skoda ventures into the digital realm with the Vision Gran Turismo, it remains firmly grounded in reality, with plans underway to launch a sub-four-meter SUV in the Indian market. With its blend of cutting-edge technology and timeless design, the Skoda Vision Gran Turismo represents the future of virtual racing, promising an exhilarating experience for gamers and automotive enthusiasts alike.
