Skoda's Virtual Electric Race Car
Digital Fun and Games
Spectacular New Design Study
Czech-based electric carmaker Skoda has just unveiled a stunning digital design study, called the Skoda Vision GT, to showcase the future potentialities of automotive technologies and design. The Vision GT is a digital tease of an electric race car that is based on the original,1957 Skoda 100 OHC sports car. The digital version is a single seat, open-top all electric race car with a low body and very advanced aerodynamics.
Style and Power
The imaginary, digital vehicle has sleek, futuristic styling with sharp lines but also touches of the 1957 1100 OHC with its muscular body proportions and red coloring. There are large intake valves, slim LED headlights and huge alloy wheels. And there is a snazzy rear wing that's inspired by Formula-1 race cars.
Highly Advanced Tech
Skoda has filled this vehicle with the ultimate in technologies. Skoda calls the cockpit of the EV an "active cockpit" with a seat that is flexible and responds to deal with g-forces from high-speed track racing. The driver's helmet visor has integrated head digital displays. The windshield doubles as a digital display. No details have yet been provided on the fully electric powertrain. Again, this spectacular vehicle is a design study by Skoda to push the limits of automotive technologies. It is not meant for mass market production but will go on display at a special EU-related event in Brussels at the end of 2022. It also could find its way onto the virtual racing circuit, such as the Gran Turismo racing simulation video games. For more news stories like this, New Breakthrough Cars, Planes, Bikes, Boats
