Gran Turismo Meets the Driveway

The next Vauxhall Corsa will be electric-only, priced around £22k ($27,500 USD), and, according to Vauxhall, carry some DNA from this wild GSE Vision Gran Turismo concept. Twin motors, 800bhp, 0–62 in 2.0 seconds, “phygital premieres,” and gaming tie-ins.

The specs are vapor, but the point isn’t the numbers, it’s borrowing halo-car energy from the world of esports and concept culture to make the everyday Corsa feel more than just another commuter EV.

For Europe only. No USA release. Still, this shows how even mass-market cars are trying to lean into fantasy, gaming, and hype cycles to build relevance.

Would you ever buy into an everyday car that sells itself on concept-car dreams?
