Porsche just released a dark teaser image of the reimagined Vision Gran Turismo. We’ve got a brighter version in the gallery below to give you a slightly better look. The nose looks like a canvas to depict the characters and flowers like a cartoon. That common motif seems to continue on the rest of the vehicle, alongside some of the word balloons.
“For me as an artist, this is a unique opportunity to create a completely new design for Porsche”, said Vexx in the Porsche announcement. “This display touches on the Porsche brand identity and gaming theme. I’m excited the gaming community will be able to drive virtually from now on – bring my graphics to life and bring them to life.”
