Η McLaren had succeeded the ultimate as regards the driving position, when she had placed her driver F1 at center of the cockpit, between the two passengers (patented position). Now, the same company, ends it, in the same sector.
For the sake of its creator Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamamuchi, who invited developers to create in-game concepts for the game debuting on 17 October, presented the McLaren Vision Gran Turismo. And, it has the weirdest driving position on this planet.
The driver is not sitting down. It literally does not sit. It's lying on his stomach, leaning on his stomach and chest and driving with his arms outstretched forward. It is mounted over the front axle and he has the steering wheel and all the controls in his hands.
Because more and moreά time you will have played Gran Turismo driving in this position, in your bed (or on the floor, for the more extreme) you will realize that this position is just not convenient. And that causes pain in the elbows, neck, back, back, waist. Especially when you're driving such a creation.
However, the virtual model McLaren, which will be seen exclusively in this form and which represents the vision of the British brand for its driver-focused cars by 2030, will be capable of causing... problems, no matter where the driver is sitting.
He's wearing a 4 litre twin turbo V8, performance 1150 horsepower and has weight 997 kilos. All this, combined with the cutting edge of aerodynamics and technology, will create a explosively fast set.
Tip: "It will look like a motorcycle driving position, but it won't be the same. You'll think you're lying down, but you won't be." McLaren, 2017
