Another preview image of the Pininfarina Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo has been released ahead of the car's debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
Developed by Formula 1 champion and Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi with Italian design house Pininfarina, it is described as a limited-edition track car and will get a naturally aspirated V8 engine with more than 592bhp.
Both the engine and gearbox are said to be "single manufacturer-made", and Pininfarina says the car will weigh around 1000kg.
“Owner-drivers can expect reliability, lower maintenance cost and minimal mechanic and tech teams - which means more time and elation on the track,” motor racing legend Fittipaldi said.
A new image of the car shows the front of its monocoque carbonfibre body, while a previous image showed the rear of the car.
“[Fittipaldi’s] sole mission was to apply all his track knowledge on creating a new experience that will elevate the driving ability of all supercar enthusiasts from around the world,” said a spokesman for the company.
The car will be produced in a small production run of a yet-to-be- confirmed total, and it will be added to PlayStation’s Gran Turismo video game for digital download.
More information for the model ill be released at its reveal on the 7 March. Pininfarina will also show a salon concept at Geneva this year.
