GT Sport 2017 Mercedes W08 F1 Car Coming to Gran Turismo

[Paul Jeffrey]

The 2017 FIA Formula One Drivers and Constructors Championship winning Mercedes AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ is coming to Gran Turismo!

Confirmed today on social media by none other than Polyphony Digital head man Kazunori Yamauchi, the W08 2017 Formula One Mercedes is set to hit the PlayStation 4 racing title as part of the next big build update, expected to drop to in just seven days time.

Representing the first Formula One car of the modern era since arch rivals Ferrari were represented by the F10 back in Gran Turismo 5, the confirmation today is very big news indeed for the game, evidently coming together thanks to the strong links forged between Polyphony Digital, the FIA and Lewis Hamilton during the development of GT Sport.

Set to appear as part of a wider seven car pack that was teased by Kaz last week, expect plenty of excitement from fans of the game in what is a very prestigious licence agreement for GT Sport, and the represents the only official virtual rendition of a Mercedes Formula One car outside of the officially licenced Formula One games franchise.

GT Sport is available exclusively for Sony PlayStation 4.

There's alternatives...Formula Hybrid in AC and Formula ultimate in Automoblista

The Formula Hybrid is horrible. But the SF71h is very good
