Jaguar Unveils Virtual Electric Racing Car 'Vision Gran Turismo SV'

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Jaguar Land Rover Korea announced on the 17th that it has unveiled the Jaguar virtual pure electric racing car 'Vision Gran Turismo SV (hereinafter Vision GT SV)'.

Developed for the car racing game 'Gran Turismo', the Jaguar Vision GT SV delivers powerful performance by applying aerodynamic design and powertrain technology equipped with race-winning technology.

The streamlined lightweight composite body houses four electric motors, producing 1903 horsepower and an instantaneous torque of 3360Nm. It offers strong driving force and driving dynamics through an intelligent all-wheel-drive system and torque vectoring. Additionally, it can accelerate from a standstill to approximately 97 km/h in just 1.65 seconds and reach a top speed of 410 km/h.

With improved motors compared to the previous model, the output and torque have increased, and the Jaguar GT SV produces a more distinctive and presence-filled sound. The sound gradually intensifies up to 40,000 rpm, and Jaguar expects it to provide great satisfaction to drivers who want to experience the thrill of racing.

Last October, Jaguar introduced the virtual pure electric sports car 'Vision Gran Turismo Coupe (hereinafter Vision GT Coupe)', which achieved success by attracting much attention from gamers with its innovative design, driver-focused interior, and excellent ride comfort and handling.

Based on this, the Jaguar design team and SV team thoroughly analyzed gamers' feedback to improve performance, and through numerous virtual driving tests, they perfected the Vision GT SV as an ideal electric endurance racing car for gaming. It also features an outstanding motor electric propulsion system developed based on the knowledge and experience gained by Jaguar Racing engineers over six consecutive years developing the Jaguar I-TYPE Formula E race car.

The 'Jaguar Vision GT SV', designed as a virtual endurance racing car, incorporates Jaguar's previous racing heritage throughout. The unique circuit board pattern design on the exterior and the elegant silhouette of the fenders, inspired by iconic models in Jaguar's racing history such as the C-TYPE and D-TYPE, which first competed at Le Mans in 1951 and 1954, make the Vision GT SV stand out. The rear wing, inspired by Jaguar's racing lineage including the XJR-14, provides effective aerodynamic functionality.

The interior is also custom-made for racing. The cockpit’s simple yet open surfaces envelop the driver. Every interior element, including the sculpted seats made with the new TYPEFIBER fabric, is precisely crafted from premium lightweight materials. TYPEFIBER, an innovative high-performance lightweight material developed by Jaguar, serves as a leather alternative offering comfort and excellent durability.

Julian Thomson, Jaguar’s Chief Design Director, stated, "All Jaguars, including the D-TYPE, XKSS, I-PACE, and I-TYPE, share the same DNA," adding, "Therefore, the Vision GT Coupe design team, Jaguar SV team, and Jaguar Racing team collaborated to create a special virtual racing car on a whole new level."
