In-game description[]
- "There's nothing quite like a 1980s Formula 1 car. They were stylish, powerful, and downright raw, with gobs of power and incredible sound. Gran Turismo thought of bringing back the mystique of that golden era with this car. Powering this machine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 that recalls the classic engines of the day. And it packs some serious Formula 1 heat, too. How's 986.2 HP at 11,000 rpm? If you want to feel a pure Formula 1 race car, give this one a try."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
F1 machines in the mid-80s were characterized by a compact V6 turbo engine and their stoic, well cut appearance. The Gran Turismo F1500T-A is a machine that brings back the style still considered to be the best form in F1 history, with its own unique interpretation.
While maintaining the basic concepts from 30 years ago with a slightly forward cockpit and a simple aerodynamic package, this car also incorporates the performance of a front line formula racing machine.
The carbon fiber chassis is 4,235 mm long, 2,146 mm wide, and has a wheel base of 2,718 mm. The 1.5 liter turbocharged V6 is symbolic of F1 engines from the 1980s, and produces approximately 986 BHP at 11,000 rpm.
The aerodynamic design of the wings and other components also follow the trends from the 80s, but as a result of increased cooling performance of the turbocharger and the engine, the opening of the air outlets on the side pontoons were minimized, improving the aerodynamics on the body sides.
Formula cars are a different type of beast compared to touring cars. Get a taste for Formula level performance with this machine.
