Grand Valley is back with Highway 1

A Gran Turismo classic, the Grand Valley circuit returns to the series with a minor facelift. The complete “Highway 1” configuration is a demanding track with everything from high-speed sections where you’re pedal to the metal, to tight and tortuous turns where technique will be the rule. The lighter configuration of 2,000 m “South” has a lot of elevation changes and bends to be taken blindly. A real challenge for the pilots’ nerves. An environment as far as the eye can see where the ocean meets the mountain, and where there are bridge and tunnel sections. Racing here is dynamic and recreates the intensity of the world’s most famous winding coastal roads.

Honda RA272 ’65
The F1 that brought Honda its first victory.

With its innovative ideas and cutting-edge engineering skills, Honda has been responsible for a number of technological revolutions. His first steps in F1, in 1964, when he was still a relatively unknown car manufacturer, are proof of this. Honda developed the RA271. It consisted of an aluminum shell placed on a spatial frame and equipped with an uncommon 1.5-liter mid-engine V12. However, her uniqueness cost her dearly and she failed to perform well in the first year. In 1965, Honda radically transformed the machine, which gave birth to the RA272. The RA272E engine was a more efficient version of the previous V12, with lightened components. The rear suspension construction had been changed from an internal to an external configuration, which reduced its weight from 525 to 498 kg; a major improvement. At the wheel were Ronnie Bucknum in his second year, as well as new kid on the block Richie Ginther.

Italdesign EXENEO Vision Gran Turismo in Street and Off-Road mode
A high performance luxury car prepared in a sumptuous gift package.

Italdesign was founded in 1968 in Turin, Italy. The company has designed and designed more than 300 production models and presented more than 100 concept cars at major motor shows. Many of his works have featured in Gran Turismo. Some of the cars designed by Italdesign have even become real movie stars, notably the De Lorean DMC 12 which appeared in the “Back to the Future” trilogy or the Lotus Esprit driven by Roger Moore in “The Spy Who loved”. The Italdesign EXENEO Vision Gran Turismo continues the long Italian tradition of Gran Turismo automobiles, despite state-of-the-art technological updates. Inspired by the 2013 Italdesign GT Parcour, a mid-engined off-road compact, this concept car features four different chassis configurations (track, snow, dirt and city). It has been designed to be driven both on asphalt circuits and on dirt tracks. The large central V10 engine and the two 200 kW (268.2 BHP) electric motors develop a total power of 910 kW (1,219.9 BHP), which allows the EXENEO VGT to reach 380 km/h at top speed, with a 0 to 100 km / h swallowed in 2.5 seconds. A 7-speed gearbox, Individual Wheel Drive (IWD) technology and a KERS recuperation system complete the power unit. To ensure maximum stability, the intelligent suspension automatically adapts to different types of flooring.

Citroen DS 21 Pallas ’70
A historic vision of the future from France.

Citroën had relied on front-wheel drive, and this DS, incorporating all the most advanced technologies of the time, is its masterpiece. It first appeared at the 1955 Motor Show. While many other manufacturers were still producing cars in the pre-war style, the DS was a stunning vision of the future. With its avant-garde aerodynamic bodywork and revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system, it was nicknamed the “flying saucer”. Development was led by André Lefèbvre, while the 4.8m long body was designed by Italian Flaminio Bertoni, who had also worked on the 2CV. With such a forward-thinking design, the DS’s popularity did not wane for long. Including various equipment and engine improvements, the car was produced continuously for 20 years. In 1964, the “Pallas” version was added with luxury interior and exterior fittings. Then in 1967, the car adopted a more modern look with its 2 round headlights replaced by 4 covered headlights.

Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) ’73
A first in the history of the Porsche 911, the elusive RennSport.

Released in 1973, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was the first model in the long history of the Porsche 911 to sport the RS badge. RS is short for ‘Rennsport’, or ‘racing sport’ in French, and as the name suggests, it was designed as a homologation model for the FIA ​​Group 4 category. The base model 1973 911 S 2.4-litre engine was upgraded to 2.7-litres, now developing 207.1 BHP. The front part has an air intake that allows the addition of an oil cooler. The rear of the car is fitted with the iconic ducktail spoiler as standard, with rear bumpers stretched to accommodate the new wider rear tyres. The Carrera RS 2.7 was available in 3 versions: touring, sport and racing, although the luxury touring model already weighed less than 1100 kg.
