Emerson Fittipaldi

If you’ve been keeping yourself in the loop with the latest Gran Turismo 7 news, you might have noticed one glaring absence from the most recent update to the car list. While almost every car from GT Sport is now confirmed to be on GT7’s roster of vehicles, one appears to have been removed: the Fittipaldi EF7 Vision Gran Turismo.

Formula One legend Emerson Fittipaldi is set for a very unusual return to racing in 2019.

After many teases, F1 legend and former Indy 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi has pulled back the sheets on the latest entry in the Vision Gran Turismo roster on the ground in Geneva: the Fittipaldi EF7 Vision GT.

February began with the taunting reveal of the latest addition to the “not even halfway done” Vision GT Project. The Fittipaldi EF7 is headed by the legendary Italian coach-builder Pininfarina, and bears the initials of the two-time F1 and Indy 500 Driver’s Champion Emerson Fittipaldi. Set to be revealed in earnest next week, March 7 at the Geneva International Motor Show, some new information has emerged before its big day.

After legendary Italian coach builder Pininfarina’s surprise announcement that they would be collaborating with Emerson Fittipaldi to create a new Vision GT car, we’ve eagerly been waiting the latest news on it’s reveal. The car has been tipped for an official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, but in the mean time, small factoids and a new teaser image have been shared online.

This month started with news of the Vision Gran Turismo program getting back into gear. Famed Italian design house Pininfarina will be working with F1 and CART champion Emerson Fittipaldi on the EF7 Vision Gran Turismo, the first addition to the project in over a year.

The Geneva International Motor Show is one of the biggest of its kind. All manner of debuts typically happen there, and this year’s brace of new metal will include the latest addition to the “not even halfway done” Vision GT project.
