Oh, sorry. Is the suspense killing you? Anyway, time for the big reveal...
Now this maybe a Vision GT car but the car company in question is pretty much new to us and it's named after a motorsport legend. Enter Fittipaldi Motors. And this is their maiden car, the EF7 Vision Gran Turismo by Pininfarina.
Situated in the Sunshine State, it was run by the two-time F1 champion and two-time IndyCar champion named Emerson Fittipaldi, a Brazilian, and its main focus is to create ultra-light supercars that utilize advanced racing technologies, efficient powertrain structures, enhanced safety features and autonomous vehicle intelligence. The EF7 VGT is the first of their kind and it is an all-carbon fiber supercar designed in Italy by Pininfarina, engineered in Germany by HWA AG.
Underneath the aggressive but beautiful exterior design, the EF7 utilizes a solid carbon fiber body and monocoque that not only is lighter by less than a ton but also very rigid. which exceeds FIA standards. Apart from the body, the engine is an old-school, naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces over 600HP of power while mated to a bespoke 6-speed gearbox that is positioned low for better center of gravity.
What's even more amazing is that unlike most VGT cars, the track-only EF7 VGT will be produced in limited quantities and potential customers can personalize the EF7 with their own signature Pantone color as well as their favorite racing number, along with customizable interior and wheel options. And unlike complicating track-only cars, it's surprisingly easy to operate. They can just turn the key and go racing at their favorite racetrack and thanks to its reliability and low maintenance costs, they can drive it faster and harder for longer.
Those who got their hands on the EF7 will receive a complimentary membership to the Fittipaldi Racing Club, where owner-drivers will take part to exclusive global VIP racing experiences and special perks and privileges, as well as private members-only races and on-track coaching with the one-and-only Emerson Fittipaldi himself.
On a normal track day, the EF7 is just so fun to drive for an extreme track toy and because of its low centre of gravity and impressive aerodynamics, you'll have more reasons to enjoy Fittipaldi's masterpiece, but when races get rough, the EF7 is less bark, more bite. Yes, this car can bite even in a middle of a race full of opponents driving these and because of its dynamic behavior, you'd best be careful with this powerful machine or you''ll end up cruising for a bruisin at the rough seas, but the more you drive with it, the more you will starting to realize its true potential as a car that was forged by motoring legends.
For a car commissioned by a motorsport legend, designed by Italians, and engineered by Germans, this car can really be considered a work of art that can be appreciated by those who answer its call. Speaking of which, let's find out how good the Fittipaldi EF7 is by taking a lap round the Big Willow, just to get you a glimpse of what is like when "Art Meets Speed" as they said.
Even if it was made by a new boutique car manufacturer and even if its a track-only car, the EF7 is all about honoring motoring greats with grace and grunt and because it was made by the hands of Mr. Fittipaldi himself, it really is a legend in the making for those who seek greatness from within and if you want to experience it by yourself, pick up a copy of GT SPORT now.
