It's crazy to me that GT, a game series, can get car manufacturers to design new concept cars for the sole purpose of being able to drive/race them in the game. And now, Porsche even built the damn thing. GT has a crazy amount of influence in the whole automotive industry for a game.
And that's the thing about when people start arguing about which racing game is best or what exactly is sim vs arcade or any other form of stick waggling when it comes to this virtual racing we all love. Gran Turismo is the only racing game that exists outside of racing games (aside from Mario Kart of course). Lewis Hamilton isn't wearing an Assetto Corsa hat; Porsche didn't make a real life car for iRacing; Ain't nobody slapping the Forza logos on their cars. Gran Turismo has transcended the genre and even the medium unto which it is created for. Love it or hate it, it demands respect for what that series alone has achieved.
@@francesthemutes ...despite iRacing and AC being pretty much universally agreed as superior simulator platforms. Let's not kid ourselves, a huge part of this is just marketing.
@@joshuasayles8792 I’d unfortunately think the BBC and Top Gear would not let Jimmer have free reigns, which is when he is at his greatest. One thing I dearly hopes is that his tight bond with drivetribe could possibly lead to him and some other up-and-coming car guys to continue what Clarkson, May and Hammond are doing at Amazon. The OGs aren’t getting any younger, unfortunately. I think Jimmy is the perfect lead man for the changing of the guard. Perhaps paired with someone like Steve Alvarez Brown aka Albon
This is what I'm thinking: Jimmer's being groomed for the next generation of TV auto show presenters. He could very well one day take over in Top Gear.
It's amazing to see how far Gran Turismo has progressed... It's amazing to see how far electric cars have progressed... and it's amazing to see how far Jimmer has progressed... ...and since we're on the Nurburgring, the question must be asked - how fast can this weapon go round the Nordschleife?
Man I‘m so happy for you Jimmy! You get to experience so many cool things in your life and you can really feel your excitement in the videos. Thanks for taking us with you.
Just got the 1;18 model of this car from Porsche's online store. Build quality seems quite decent and it's a limited edition, so if anyone here also wants one, you gotta be quick.
I'm so happy you get to experience opportunities like this. Going to a Porsche factory in Germany and being able to see things like this car? You've really just done it. Congrats Jimmer.
It's amazing to see the shape Jimmy is in now compared to a couple of years ago. Formerly-chubby boy is now a specimen of fitness. Great to see how committed he is to big-boy racing.
Holy shit this game is pretty, coming out of the first hairpin onto the straight at the very start the shadow moving over the race suit and seeing the individual fibers of the race suit catching the light in different ways as it passes is insane.
Ray-tracing, the way of photons simulated, notice the inner reflection on the windscreen, even has refractions, PS5 gfx is like having a Nvidia RTX 2070 Super card in a PC, which is atm twice more expensive than a PS5...
And then you go on Twitter and half the Gran Turismo tag right now is just angry Forza fans talking about how they have more terafarts per megashit or something...
I remember the feeling you're talking about. Like when Pontiac had their '88 banshee concept. Cars you'd get a glimpse of in photo but could never imagine driving. Good stuff👍
I really wish they made a car that has a "simulator mode" where the suspension etc starts doing some simulation along with a VR helmet ;) Might be a bit hard to pass safety regulations i give you that.
thats how VGTs work, they are the embodiment of the manufacturer's heritage and you'll see that a lot in all the VGT concepts made (except some but again)
1. You are in incredible shape, all that work has paid off and I'm now 27% more aroused watching your videos 2. You went full presenter and did an incredible job.
2:40 Being a Porsche Exterior Designer is effectively one of those placeholder jobs that rich families stick their child into to get "experience" before they are swiftly moved into uppr management. You know the jobs, the jobs where they don't actually do anything. It is also why Porsches all look the same. Because there are only like 2 guys who update and tweak the standard design and then the rest of the department is full of people gaining "experience".
Hey man was wondering if you could share what wheel setting you ended up with? I run auto and in game 6ffb and 1 sensitivity. It feels a little slow when counter steering like when I spin out the wheel feels as if it’s not fast enough.

Bugatti made it too
If it's crazy? Yes and no.
Some cars have been made for movies. GT is a game sold to millions of people, so there is a marketing element.

@@jamiedavinci1328 yeah and nobodys arguing against that but the the thing is GT was first and has garnered the widest amount of mainstream attention
You know what, Jimmer is actually such a naturally talented TV presenter. Many kudos
He has my vote for Top Gear presenter! I'd actually start watching the show again!

Some say he's the Murray Walker of sim racing
@@IanMustafa 😂

Is that 100% force feedback or was my boi hitting the gym? Looking good Jimmer!
I noticed that too! Slim Jim!
No pain no gain 💪😎
Must be training for the new season in the praga with Gordi.
100% force-feed back is possibly the worst way to train for shoulder health. Nothing but internal rotation!
He's most probably racing for Praga next season, good fitness is a pre-requisite.
It's amazing to see how far Gran Turismo has progressed...
It's amazing to see how far electric cars have progressed...
and it's amazing to see how far Jimmer has progressed...
...and since we're on the Nurburgring, the question must be asked - how fast can this weapon go round the Nordschleife?
asking the real question
Crazy how far Gran Turismo has come
*Gran*
narG
GRAND LMAO
There was an obscure game called Grand Touring xD
It’s become more than just a game.
That's so cool that Jimmy gets to do these things AND bring use along for some of the ride. It's so cool.
Developers: This car was Specifically made for Gran Turismo 7
Jimmy: Let's drive it in Asetto Corsa
yeah, what is going on with that display - it looks like 2/3 of a triple

Professionally done Jimmy, great job.
They should have made that steering wheel compatible with the GT DD Pro. That would have been a cool premium alternative to the standard wheel.
1:58 Jimmy was never seen again after this moment, being replaced with a more obedient stunt double
and got a 50K fine
The FIA is f u m i n g
It's amazing to see the shape Jimmy is in now compared to a couple of years ago. Formerly-chubby boy is now a specimen of fitness. Great to see how committed he is to big-boy racing.
Jimmy showing us that top gear skill of talking about cars. Nice well done
This car is amazing! 😍😍 And Jimmer, your moderation is awesome!

@@WalintHUN Ray tracing is only in the replays, photo mode, and menus, not in the actual racing part of the game.
the game looks dated as fuck...it is not a pretty game at all...
@@RomanianReviewsNews lolwut?
What racer looks better than this, really?
I remember the feeling you're talking about. Like when Pontiac had their '88 banshee concept. Cars you'd get a glimpse of in photo but could never imagine driving. Good stuff👍
Absolutely bloody awesome. Jimmer your like a real TV presenter in this. It's super cool!
Wicked car!!!!
Its amazing seeing how far youve come, doin great and keep doin great!
As a German, that intro gets a 10/10! Great job :D
Sick video mate, that car looks insane!
Super Deutsch Jimmy gut gemacht😃! Thanks for all your great content! Greetings from 🇨🇭
This car reminds me a lot of the Saleen Raptor. Like it a lot Jimmer thanks for sharing this experience!
I love that you can see the cable that’s it’s powered with.
I really wish they made a car that has a "simulator mode" where the suspension etc starts doing some simulation along with a VR helmet ;) Might be a bit hard to pass safety regulations i give you that.
Well done Jimmy great job..GT has come a long way in gaming/car culture and is worldwide respected for that.
Man, that thing reminds me a lot of the '91 Audi Avus concept. What a sexy beast.
0:16
as a german, i'll give you the W xD
I remember Jimmy said on his streams a while back that he was going to Germany and was very secretive about it…now we know why 😁
1:58 looks like a €50.000 fine for jimmer bois
I just love how GT allways inspires these absolutely rad concepts!
The top rear reminds me of the Carerra GT
thats how VGTs work, they are the embodiment of the manufacturer's heritage and you'll see that a lot in all the VGT concepts made (except some but again)
You really are way more prepared for next Praga season Jimmy, you weren't joking when you said you'd put more work in for it.
Daamn someone has been hitting the gyym, looking thicc Jimbo 🥶🥶
Killed it my dude, natural
@01:32 I...can't...breath... from laughing at this
You really look like Neel Jani in that Porsche suit
GranTursimo has become a platform for manufacturers to flex their creative elements. Great job Polyphony Digital 💪👍
Big manufacturer video.
Nice Jimmer 📈📈📈
Wow, that was rather awesome Jimbo, nice one! What a car, I can't wait to try it when I eventually get GT7....👍😉
1. You are in incredible shape, all that work has paid off and I'm now 27% more aroused watching your videos
2. You went full presenter and did an incredible job.
The best thing about this VGT is that it’s so easy to drift it! IMO I actually enjoy drifting it more than driving it!
Yaay. Ma booi made it to Richard Hammond levels - now he can actualy crash real prototypes in the game. Thanks Kaz XD

That is quite a privilege, not only invited to Porsche & to see that car in person, but to be the first non- Porsche person to sit in it 😃
Jimmer is buff! That's a "Bummer" 😅
Keep up the good work man, you not only entertain, you also inspire.
That car looks spicy ..... hope the specs is top notch .
That Porsche looks absolutely insane! Awesome video💪🏻👍🏻
1:57 FIA $50k fine and ten place grid penalty!
Kinda curious to see how it compares to a Gen2 FormulaE Car for laptimes.
damn jimmer bricked up like shiiiit. get into itttt
The TH-cam premiere music is epic never gets old
Jimmy was probably given a top secret racing clearance so he could film.
Crazy good German my Boy! Didn’t expect that at all!
Damm I love this kinda content!! congrats on how much u have achieved Jimmer!!
Such GT-esque music 🎼🔥
One of those songs is from Sega Rally 2 on the Dreamcast! Nutty to hear it.
"I can touch it!" TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP!
10:20 that's not new Jimmer, probably dating myself but Need for Speed 2 SE had a roster filled with mostly concept cars
we love you jimmers ❤
Important question
Do GT7 finally have fov adjustment?
No fov adjustment just kill gts for me
That car looks sick as!!!
Hey man was wondering if you could share what wheel setting you ended up with? I run auto and in game 6ffb and 1 sensitivity. It feels a little slow when counter steering like when I spin out the wheel feels as if it’s not fast enough.
Toll deutsch, Jimmy!! Ich denke, das war sehr gut!!
That’s gorgeous great video Jimmy
Motor Toon Grand Prix clip for the true OGs.
Servus jimmy! Didn’t know you came that close to my hometown
As much as I mostly don't like vision cars in Gt for driving, this is insane!
7:22 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 ayyo????
That tachometer is insane
Jimmy Talking German: That was pretty good tbh.. :D
I remember when Porsche was completely against letting Sims and video games use their cars, now they're designing cars around game launches!
Had nothing to do with them it was EA having control of their license
Just started the video and I gotta say: Holy crap that shed boi is getting ripped :o
never heard the word "lebenshobby" before xD
other than that, you pretty much nailed it!
Just came from gt7 stream gang 🦀🦀🦀
Crabs are people. Crabs are people. CRABS ARE PEOPLE!!!
@@lio1234234 we advocate for crab rights in this chat.
Me too gangalanche
@@HasslebackJones Glad to hear it!
Definition of we made it. They grow up so fast 🥺
Stunning look Porsche
Cool vid Jimbo, bit too busy background track tho.
Supercar blondie punching air rn
It's only a matter of time until Jimmy becomes a TV personality
I need the Jimmy Broadbent x Soul Plane experience
i'm impressed by how steady the camera guy is holding the camera while apparently having a FUCKING SEIZURE
I'm still I'm the grinding stages of the game at the moment but I'm very keen to get My hands on this car
Wow what a beautiful machine!
is it just me or is jimmy looking extra buff
Jimmer is my new favorite German sim driver
Seems like a much more thought out and electric version of the bonkers cadillac in I think gt4
Jimmer when are you going to try the Dodge tomahawk x vgt on the nordschleiße?
That cockpit entrance took me a bit off guard
Maaaaan, boy is fucking shredded, damn
Holy SHIIII.. the is the sim racing version of getting the Madden cover.🤯
Broadbent practicing conversing with future F1 World Champion Mick Schumacher
Amazing car. Great video.
Jimmy doing his Doug Demuro impression.
How many years now until Jimmy is presenting Top Gear, and that that's not a weird thing?
Such an inspiration as a gamer, amateur racing driver, and creator. Love you mate.
p.s. why you never call me back ;-;
We need a mod so you can take it round the Nordschleife
Thank you. I have the game but had no idea this car was in it 😖…
jimmy lookin toned af
Absolutely love these videos 😊
