Have you played the new Gran Turismo 7 yet? In the weird world of virtual car launches, Jaguar reveals the new Vision Gran Turismo Roadster...
Don't worry, you're not going mad - there have been Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo concepts before. The original VGT of 2019 was followed up by the 1,900hp SV at. Now there's a third, the Vision GT Roadster, which by our count makes Jaguar the most prolific manufacturer when it comes to these Gran Turismo concepts. No accident, surely, for a brand set to embark on an electric reinvention and with a desperate need to attract younger customers.
Looks good, doesn't it? There are nods to Jaguars past - the D-Type fin, an Ecurie Ecosse colour scheme and the 'grille' design between the lights - albeit mixed with much more modern details. Even in a world obsessed with supercar speedsters, this stands out for just how low, wide and dramatic it is. Albeit with familiar Jaguar cues, with front LEDs not a million miles from the F-Type's design, and a rear that evokes the CX-75 concept.
Like all the concepts, however, the Roadster does come stacked with loadsa power. Using three electric motors, there's 1,020hp on tap along with 885lb ft, which Jaguar says will catapult the car to 62mph in less than two seconds with a top speed of more than 200mph. Which ought to make Deep Forest Raceway even better.
With GT7 now out, all three Jaguar Vision Gran Turismos - the Coupe, the 255mph SV and this new Roadster - are available in the game. Kazunori Yamauchi said of the trio:"We are delighted to announce the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Roadster, which completes the trilogy of Jaguar Vision vehicles for Gran Turismo 7. It was a great experience to work with the Design team at Jaguar. We look forward to drivers getting behind the virtual wheel in the new game.
