Adding its name to the roster of prestigious marques, Czech automaker Škoda is now a participant in the Vision Gran Turismo project.
Czech automaker Škoda has joined the ranks of prestigious brands contributing to the Vision Gran Turismo project, a unique collaboration between car manufacturers and the popular Gran Turismo racing game series. Škoda’s debut entry, the Vision Gran Turismo, pays homage to the company’s rich motorsport legacy while embodying its contemporary design philosophy.
With a history spanning over a century since its founding in 1895, Škoda has established itself as one of the most iconic car brands worldwide. Drawing inspiration from this deep-rooted tradition, particularly its involvement in motorsports, the Vision Gran Turismo concept is a modern tribute to the legendary ‘Škoda 1100 OHC Spyder’ race car from 1957, a milestone in the company’s racing heritage.
The one-seater, all-electric design skillfully blends vintage aesthetics with Škoda’s current ‘Modern Solid’ design language. The exterior takes cues from the iconic 1100 OHC Spyder, featuring crisp edges and the brand’s signature T-shaped headlights that stretch from the fender to the bumper, creating a striking and unmistakable presence on the virtual racetrack.
The Škoda Vision Gran Turismo represents a perfect fusion of storied past and vision for the future of automotive design.
