Episode 3: “El Matador” Carlos Sainz drives the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo in this episode of “e-tron on track”. The car came from the virtual world and was turned into reality and used as race taxi at Formula E events.
Finally the secret was revealed - the first time a virtual racing car became a real one - in addition it drives all-electric. This week, one of Germany's most renowned car brands in Neuburg on the Danube presented the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo. The vehicle originated from the presentation of the virtual counterpart, also redesigned, from the video game Gran Turismo. Creating the first all-electric race car based on a solid exterior template presented a major challenge for engineers and designers to master. That's how virtuality became reality.
With the fully electric “Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo” concept car Audi is now turning electric mobility into a tangible experience in a unique way. Originally developed exclusively for virtual races on PlayStation 4, Audi is making the new race car reality in conjunction with Formula E. Starting with the race in Rome on Saturday, April 14, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo will be deployed as a race taxi.

Employees at Audi's pre-production center developed and produced this one-of-a-kind car within the space of just eleven months based on the example of the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo from the ""Gran Turismo"" PlayStation game. The million-selling ""Gran Turismo"" game has long acquired cult status with gamers around the globe. Audi has been working together with Sony and Polyphony Digital - the creators of ""Gran Turismo"" - for nearly 20 years. Audi designers created the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo for the ""Vision Gran Turismo"" competition that was launched on the market on the occasion of the popular game's 15th anniversary. Numerous automobile manufacturers developed virtual race cars for the contest."
