Aston Martin unveils virtual DP-100 racer for Gran Turismo 6
Aston Martin is unveiling an exceptional new addition to the hugely popular PlayStation®3 exclusive racing game Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) in the shape of the stunning Design Prototype 100 – DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo. DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo is a new, virtual-only GT racer that will be available for Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) owners to download in July 2014, following the global launch at Goodwood Festival of Speed. Starting with nothing, the design team and design engineers worked for six months to create the new addition to the Vision Gran Turismo stable of race cars. Clearly pushing the boundaries of what an Aston Martin could be, DP-100 not only looks beautiful but also boasts a high degree of engineering integrity. The twin-turbo V12 mid-engined racer offers up to 800bhp, endowing it with blistering performance fully in keeping with the high octane nature of the game.
Created utilizing many of the same techniques as applied in the development of Aston Martin production sports cars – hand sketches and 3D modelling, followed by full realisation in the virtual world – DP-100 provides an exceptional level of detail with a fully functioning suspension system and state-of-the-art electronics.
Design Director Marek Reichman said: “DP-100 has been an exciting and intensive project for the team here at Gaydon. Features such as the car’s revolutionary ‘active aerodynamics’ are there not just as a way of enhancing form, but also to support the car’s function in-game."
Aston Martin has supported previous editions of the long-running and hugely successful Gran Turismo series, debuting in the very first game with the Aston Martin DB7 Coupé and Volante. The stunning 2011 Aston Martin One-77 is already a popular car in the Gran Turismo 6 stable.
