Titled simply the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo, the fully virtual concept car is a center-positioned single-seater race car designed specifically to appear in PlayStation's series ofvideo games. Ferrari says it uses an even more potent version of the twin-turbo V-6 powering the company's newest Le Mans competitor, the 499P, along with three electric motors, one for the rear axle and two for each front wheels.
The bodyshell of the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo appears as if suspended over the flat, carbon-fiber underbody which incorporates all the car’s technical components, thus giving purity to the shape. The chassis is designed to emphasize the car's lateral dynamics in on-the-limit handling. The powertrain layout guarantees an optimal front-rear weight balance and an extremely low center of gravity to the benefit of the AWD.
According to Ferrari, it's used its experience in Formula 1 to ensure the battery for the electric motors is always in a full state of charge, whether you're setting an ultra-fast qualifying lap or doing a handful of consecutive laps at once.The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo will become available to all users starting on December 23, 2022. Oneplayers will be able to participate in a"viewers' campaign quiz for a chance to be gifted the car in-game on December 15.
