Gran Turismo 7, the latest iteration of the greatest racing game series of all time, just got a major style upgrade, courtesy of groundbreaking Dior designer Kim Jones.
Yep, players will be able to download exclusive Dior Gear Skins across the game, including a customized vintage car, the De Tomasso Mangusta, which brings the distinctive hallmarks of the house to a whole different world.
The project was specially conceived by the Artistic Director of Dior Men’s Collections for Gran Turismo, with styles for drivers also embossed in original Dior designs, including a yellow and gray jumpsuit, matching gloves, reinterpreted Diorizon shoes, and a blue and gray helmet.
The skins are full of Dior oblique motifs, including the Cd Diamond initials along with “Christian Dior Atelier Avenue Montainge” in a match emblazoned on each of the different creations.
If you’re wondering why the number 47 is emblazoned on both the driver’s silhouette and the race car, that’s part of key Dior lore as well.
In fact, the first ever Christian Dior fashion show that changed the game forever happened back in 1947, which sealed the success and look of the house that continues to this day.
