Certainly, there is more to the McLaren Ultimate Vision GT than allowing a bunch kids to have a really good time playing the game. Designers and engineers have put some actual attempt into making the Vision GT .
The car represents McLaren’s way of thoughts when it comes to creating the ultimate track car. Who is familiar with that maybe sooner or later in the future they in reality come up with somewhat like this for the real world. Oh, wait. They’ve by now done that. It’s called the P1 GTR!
The specs they have produce for the McLaren Ultimate Vision GT are truly astounding, even for a virtual car. The hyper track machine has a virtual kerb weight of just 1,000 kg thanks mainly to the extensive use of digital carbon fiber.
It also boasts Integrated Active Aero, which works by opening tiny aperture covers around air inlets on key surfaces during cornering to create drag and generate downforce.
Power comes from a virtual twin-turbo, 4.0-litre McLaren V8 engine drives the rear wheels, putting out a mind-boggling 1,150 PS and 1,275 NM of torque.
“We wanted to break new ground and to innovate and the McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo does exactly that. It puts the driver absolutely at the centre of the action, delivering a sensory overload with incredible sound and awe-inspiring acceleration. From the game player’s point of view, the driving experience in this car will be like nothing else: the amazing glass cockpit and the motorcycle-like driving position – with your head far forward, almost right above the front axle – combine to allow you to see exactly where the apex of the corner is so you can shave vital milliseconds off each lap.More than anything though, the McLaren Ultimate Vision Gran Turismo is a stunning looking car. The design form communicates exactly what the car’s mission is and what its intentions are: it’s the ultimate expression of the McLaren design pillars and principles we have already established, futured into the 2030s.”
