Porsche and Polyphony Digital Inc. extend strategic partnership
Stuttgart/Tokyo. Porsche and the Japanese video game development studio Polyphony Digital Inc., a subsidiary of Sony Interactive Entertainment, increase their collaboration. During the International #auto Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, the partners announced to launch two new cars for "Gran Turismo Sport", a video game developed exclusively for PlayStation4 console: the #Taycan Turbo S and the design study "917 Living Legend". The #Taycan Turbo S is the top model of the first all-electric sports car from #Porsche. In addition, designers from #Porsche are currently developing the #Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Project, which is then being turned into a drivable virtual car by Polyphony Digital Inc. It is expected to appear by the end of next year.
"Motorsport is part of our DNA and racing games offer great opportunities to drive a #Porsche yourself on the racetrack," says Kjell Gruner, Vice President Marketing at #Porsche AG. "The multi-award-winning 'Gran Turismo' franchise is the perfect partner for offering our fans the opportunity of having a #Porsche experience in racing games. To further strengthen our esports engagement also has highest priority."
"Since 2017, you can drive #Porsche cars in 'Gran Turismo Sport'. By integrating the #Taycan Turbo S and the '917 Living Legend' car in 'Gran Turismo Sport' and by working on the #Porsche Vision Gran Turismo project, we are further strengthening our partnership," says Kazunori Yamauchi, series Producer and President of Polyphony Digital Inc.
Three new highlights The #Porsche #Taycan Turbo S will be made available on "Gran Turismo Sport" as part of a free content update by October 2019.
