Legendary Weissach-based car manufacturer Porsche has announced it will be present at this week’s Gamescom convention, showcasing its partnership with Gran Turismo with the presence of the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo show car.
The gaming convention, running from this Wednesday to Sunday (24th-28th August), is a videogames trade fair where developers and publishers come to present their products in front of a global audience. The convention began in 2009 and has been held in Cologne every year since – barring the Covid-afflicted 2020 edition.
Porsche will be represented for the very first time at Gamescom with the manufacturer flanked by its sportswear partner Puma.
The focal point of Porsche’s “purpose-built modern lounge” will be a life-size replica of the virtual Porsche Vision Gran Turismo car designed specifically for Gran Turismo 7.
“A vehicle designed purely for the virtual world opens up exciting possibilities for us that are otherwise heavily regimented in a regular design process for a series production car,” Michael Mauer, Vice President of Style at Porsche said at the time of the car’s announcement.
