Polestar 5 – a Swedish electric dream machine – is zooming into Gran Turismo 7 this December, hitting PS4 and PS5 screens right after its star moment at the GT World Series in LA.
Imagine a digital doppelgänger so faithful, it’s like driving the real deal — because Polestar and Sony’s Polyphony Digital swapped top-secret access like old pals sharing keys to the kingdom.
Kazunori Yamauchi, the mastermind behind Gran Turismo, gushes like a first-date: “Polestar’s sleek vibe? Mind-blowing. Their ride is where elegance meets raw clean power. Partnering with them? Pure magic.”
This is the game’s debut hand-hold with Polestar; the experience? Think silk on wheels.
Enter Igor Fraga, racing pro and simulator wizard, bouncing between Sweden’s prototypes and England’s Brands Hatch circuit, tuning every digital bump and roar.
Polyphony Digital weaves his track notes into a symphony of pixels and torque, making digital lap times as real as the rubber burning on the asphalt.
Joakim Rydholm from Polestar chimes in, “We chased the ghost of realness — every click, every roar, every thrill. The digital Polestar 5 isn’t playing dress-up; it’s the soul riding shotgun.”
Gran Turismo’s legacy? Over 100 million copies sold. The partnership isn’t a one-hit wonder either; it’s a multi-year saga kicking off with a December update and a time-trial showdown.
Winner jets to Fukuoka, Japan, for the GT World Series Finals — a real-life trophy chase born out of pixels.
And when the rubber meets the road digitally, Polestar’s YouTube channel broadcasts the behind-the-scenes magic — because every car has its story.
