How it came about
The Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car designed, developed, and built by British manufacturer Jaguar. Built as part of the Vision Gran Turismo programme, the VGT embodies Jaguar's vision for an all-electric future, while drawing inspiration from the brand's historic motorsport successes. In Gran Turismo, it is offered in three versions, Coupé, SV and Roadster.
The hardware
Power comes from Three electric motors, 1004 PS; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 3100 lbs. It shifts through a Single-speed transmission. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. The wheelbase is 2721 mm.
