The movie adaptation of Gran Turismo is hitting theaters this month and the producers had a special gift for all Gran Turismo 7 players; a 2018 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 donned in the same livery as the one Jann Mardenborough used in the movie, which is based on real events.
Based on a true story, the Gran Turismo movie stars Archie Madekwe as Jann Mardenborough, a gamer whose life changed when he gained the biggest break in his life; becoming a racing driver. It also stars David Harbour and Orlando Bloom, among many others, and it's directed by Neill Blomkamp.
The #23 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 is the one Jann drove in the upcoming movie. In the real world, this is the 2018MY Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, a racing spec version of the GT-R R35 made in compliance with FIA GT3 regulations. While it carries over the racing mechanicals as the GT-R GT3 predecessors, the 2018 model year features a dry sump oil system that allows the powerplant to sit lower by 5.9 inches for a better center of gravity. It has improved weight distribution, repositioned cooling systems, improved body stability, stiffer front body rigidity, and an improved racing suspension system.
Players who booted up the GT7 game following the recent patch can obtain Jann Mardenborough's #23 GT-R NISMO GT3 by selecting the Gran Turismo movie banner. After watching the movie trailer, you'll receive the car free of charge.
There's also an online time trial as well where you can drive the said hero car at the Red Bull Ring, one of the racetracks you'll see in the movie. A total of 3,250,000 credits can be won if you hit the ultra-difficult Gold target time. The collaboration ends on 9/27/2023 at 2359 UTC.
Having obtained the hero car from the Gran Turismo movie, the question is, what should I do with it now that I'm expressing so much hype for this movie. With that, let's drive Jann's GT-R NISMO GT3 on the racetrack that he said in the movie that he raced this track a thousand times in the game.
Let's take the GT-R NISMO GT3, donned in GT movie livery, at the Le Mans 24-hour track, just to get the thrilling experience of what's like to be in Jann Mardenborough's racing shoes. Send in the tape.
I managed to set a 4m11.118s lap time around the Le Mans 24-hour track in the GT-R NISMO GT3 that was driven by the movie's main character. Although not as quick as what he'll do in the movie, I strongly believe that the hype is real and I'm willing to watch the Gran Turismo movie at my heart's desire.
The Gran Turismo movie hits theaters this August 25th. If you're preparing for the movie, this would be your chance to add the GT-R NISMO GT3, donned in GT movie livery, to your car collection at no expense for a limited time. If you've enjoyed the game most of the time, I hope you'll enjoy the Gran Turismo movie as well. If Jann can make it to the top, anyone can.
Be a driver, drive hard, and stay focused.
