Gran Turismo Announces Partnership With Dior, Adds Special Race Gear and Car to GT7

[wagnerFAM98]

Please don't tell me that a second Mangusta will be added as one of the 3 cars next month. This is a cool partnership and all, but it would be depressing to see a straight duplicate like that taking the place of a real new car in the already small 3-car package we get every month.

Never heard of Dior before.

Very likely. It's confirmed to be arriving on the last Thursday of August, regular update day.

All these items and the special edition De Tomaso Mangusta will be available to enjoy in-game from 25 August.

New content will include a drag strip; The Dior Straights 🥁 rimshot
Johnny Depp accompanied by a wolf will be playing guitar covers for background music. #Sauvage
Siwa I did there.

LOL.

GT is an exclusive, high-end video game tailor made for the rich and elite so it only makes sense. I'm totally ok with this.

 

[watto79]

You wouldn't see this happen in the real world. It would be like an energy drink sponsoring a Formula 1 team.........

 

[MrHorsepower]

Not a fan of fashion but I'm worried about next month's update. As many of you I'd prefer 3 (or more) new cars rather than suits and styles made by a fashion designer.
Going a bit off topic (sorry) the Diabolique Team Ford RS200 from Portugal was sponsored by Gucci (among others) if I recall correctly

 

[05XR8]

What this REALLY means, Bentley are coming.

 

[Ryan81]

Wow, PD really know how to spoil their fans! Can't wait for this update, just counting down the days in anticipation 🙏

 

[breyzipp]

Turn 10 are shaking in their boots right now.

Dior boots? 🤔

 

[Cherryturbo]

Tyres by Avon .……

Nice - it shows GT is looking outward which should be a good thing.
Things like this don't add a huge amount to the game but they are fun and open it out to a wider crowd - the more eyes on the game, the more pressure there is to keep improving it.

 

[Papercut]

Kaz better not have the audacity to show this as one of the silhouettes.

Doubt it. The car was already in Haggerty at least once, so the car is in-game already.

 

[MatskiMonk]

IMHO they should have pushed the collaboration further...

That guy can handle fashion clothes like that, i wish he was my height and would send his used clothes to me <3

The Dior suit looks nice, unless it ends up at the legendary dealer i am going for it.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yeah, to be fair, he's doubled down on it, and it's become the norm.

I have a very low tolerance for fashion, on top of that, I don't like any of the Dior stuff that's coming. But, I wanted to highlight the connection between this game we play, the GT sponsored 'Maestro', and the fashion world.

I personally think it's extremely cool to see a fashion brand like Dior represented in a game like GT7, it tells something about brand value to have such a brand represented in the game. And the criticism is about as far fetched as it can be, the game is stuffed with advertising for loads of brands that only want to sell more stuff

 

[GleepGlop]

How is this a "partnership" - doesn't that imply that Dior is bringing something to the table for us? This is a sponsorship like Tag Huer. "We are pleased to announce we will be making money by advertising to our user base!"
These "partnerships" are just how Kaz makes new friends at the yacht club.

You think he has time to go yachting? In Japan?

Good article on Vouge Business -

Kim Jones designs skins and vintage car for Dior’s gaming debut

The French luxury fashion house is creating a capsule of skins as well as a virtual custom vintage car for video game Gran Turismo 7.

Created a post about this yesterday when it was announced, then a mod here locked my thread in a while saying "we really don't need another topic on this..." and linked to their topic created much later. Amazing content creation (I really don't care, it's a silly topic, was just poorly handled) sashay away

Nope.

Firstly the moderator who locked the thread wasn't the one that created this one.
Secondly, no moderator created this one: it's an automatically created thread as a result of an article being created.
Finally, and most importantly of all, it was posted two hours before yours (well, two and a half, but who's counting?) not "much later".

So, if we're quite done with this weird objection...

alright, my mistake then, apologies

 

[Doomotron]

Dior boots? 🤔

Oh, absolutely. Pink ones that say 'Horizon Colorado 2012' on them.

 

[Pedinhuh]

I cannot fathom how tone deaf you have to be to even announce this **** while your main product is catching fire...And not in a good way.

How about making partnerships with companies that are actually involved in the automotive world and culture, like say, Liberty Walk, RWB, Rocket Bunny?

Here was I thinking they had it just right with Haggerty and we would see more companies like that getting involved with GT...Not a ****ing fashion brand.

I just hope that Mangusta is not taking an slot on the next 3 DLC cars that might come next month, that would be ****ing stupid...

Can't wait for the Victoria's Secret Mini Cooper and accompanying two piece racing suit in Sept.

And the Citroen GT by Chanel in Oct with the world's first in game car fragrance. Stimulate your senses with base notes of vanilla and octane, hints of overheating PS4, and the unmistakable top note of money rubbing together.

Followed by the Supreme Honda Beat dropping in Nov (only 250 available globally, so better get your bots ready).

And who can forget the hotly anticipated Macy's Christmas car collection featuring storied motorsport powerhouses like Tiffany & Co., Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.

Can't wait for

Don't forget the 🔦 VGT

Just wait until they put a Lada Riva in Adidas tracksuit livery...
