Skoda Auto is introducing the Škoda Vision Gran Turismo, a spectacular all‑electric concept car, into the Gran Turismo 7 PlayStation game. Drawing inspiration from the 1957 Škoda 1100 OHC Spider, the fully electric all-wheel drive Škoda Vision Gran Turismo is equipped with four electric motors. Designed for efficiency and outstanding driving dynamics, the vehicle weighs only 1,300 kilograms and combines a length of approximately 4.41 metres with a width of nearly 1.95 metres and a height of just 94.9 centimetres. A total of four electric motors, powered by an 87 kWh lithium-ion battery, make for impressive propulsion. Each motor delivers 200 kW and 25,000 rpm, resulting in a powerful system output of 800 kW. The car will appear in the Gran Turismo 7 racing simulation for PlayStation 4 and 5.
