The Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Roadster Is an Electric Hypercar Inspired by a Racing Past
The British marque Jaguar makes some of the wildest-looking concept cars there has ever been, from the James Bond Spectre C-X75 to the very first Vision Gran Turismo Coupé and its more menacing sibling the SV version, but now Jaguar has unveiled its latest masterpiece, the all-electric Vision Gran Turismo Roadster.
This third iteration of the familiar design does more than just take its top off, as it combines with the racing series’ most immersive and expansive platform to date — Gran Turismo 7 — to create an electric hypercar like no other. Speaking on the project, Oliver Cattell-Ford, Exterior Designer, Jaguar Advanced Design said: “As a car designer, being part of the team that has delivered three virtual cars for the Gran Turismo series has been a dream project. Since the reveal of the Vision GT Coupé in 2019 and Vision GT SV in 2020, we wanted to curate the perfect way to present the full line-up of the three cars together when we revealed the Roadster — Gran Turismo 7 is the perfect way to do it. The visual effect is dramatic and wouldn’t look out of place on any track or circuit around the world, from the streets of night-time Tokyo to California’s Laguna Seca raceway.”
