Introducing the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo SV
Jaguars created for the race track and the road have always shared the same DNA whether that’s the D-type and XKSS, or the I-PACE and the I-TYPE.
A maximum speed of 410km/h, an aerodynamic design honed to perfection and race-winning powertrain technology define the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo SV the latest all-electric virtual race car developed for Gran Turismo.
The Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Coupé, the first all-electric Jaguar sports car created for the globally renowned Gran Turismo series, revealed in October 2019 has already proved highly successful, attracting gamers with its heritage inspired design and driver focused interior.
Yet to the team from Jaguar Design, SV and Jaguar Racing, the Vision GT Coupé represented only the starting point for development of the Vision GT SV. It was an opportunity to re-evaluate everything that could improve performance and in doing so, re-think what an electric Jaguar endurance race car could be.
Fundamental to that process was detailed analysis of gamer feedback from online videos and forums. This ‘virtual world testing’ combined with many hours ‘behind the wheel’ enabled the design and engineering teams to determine exactly how to optimise the Vision GT SV to create the perfect electric gaming endurance race car.
DNA
Julian Thomson, Design Director, Jaguar, said: “Jaguars created for the race track and the road have always shared the same DNA whether that’s the D-type and XKSS, or the I-PACE and the I-TYPE. So, when the design team behind the Vision GT Coupé were asked to create the ultimate electric gaming endurance racer for Gran Turismo, they worked with engineers from SV and Jaguar Racing to create something really special”.
“The Vision GT SV is a dramatic and visually arresting car which showcases what’s possible when the traditional boundaries governing real-world car design are completely removed. In bringing this car to life with a full-size design study we’ve been able to showcase the most extreme version of an electric Jaguar race car that is inspired by the past but looks fearlessly to the future.”
Designed as the ultimate virtual endurance racer, the Jaguar Vision GT SV pays homage to its illustrious forebears not only in a host of styling and surfacing references but in its unique circuit board livery which nods to milestones such as the Le Mans debuts of the C-type and D-type in 1951 and 1954 respectively. - Motor Press
