Driving A Škoda Supercar? On PlayStation It's A Virtual Reality

Driving A Škoda Supercar? On PlayStation It's A Virtual Reality. You can now drive a Škoda supercar - as the budget carmaker has designed a speedy new concept vehicle but only on your PlayStation. Skoda Auto is introducing the Škoda Vision Gran Turismo, a spectacular all‑electric concept car, into the Gran Turismo 7 PlayStation game. Drawing inspiration from the 1957 Škoda 1100 OHC Spider, the fully electric all-wheel drive Škoda Vision Gran Turismo is equipped with four electric motors. Designed for efficiency and outstanding driving dynamics, the vehicle weighs only 1,300 kilograms and combines a length of approximately 4.41 metres with a width of nearly 1.95 metres and a height of just 94.9 centimetres. A total of four electric motors, powered by an 87 kWh lithium-ion battery, make for impressive propulsion. Each motor delivers 200 kW and 25,000 rpm, resulting in a powerful system output of 800 kW. The car will appear in the Gran Turismo 7 racing simulation for PlayStation 4 and 5.

10 Best Riding Mowers for Every Lawn in 2024, According to Experts

Want the best riding lawn mower on the market? Check out our top picks to make your lawn the best in the neighborhood. Most people agree that a riding lawn mower is a major homeowner flex, but being the coolest yard worker on the block is far from the only perk these machines offer. Marc Mayer, lawn expert and TruGreen’s director of technical operations says, “Commonly, homeowners explore a riding lawn mower to save time and/or energy if they have a large lawn area that takes a lot of energy to utilize a walk-behind mower.” Those with a large lawn but little patience for pushing a lawn mower should upgrade to the best riding lawn mower for their yard. Instead of walking behind the lawn mower, the operator sits on top as the blades whirl in the cutting deck below. Riding lawnmowers come in many sizes and styles, offering plenty of options to fit your budget and needs. We’ve tested multiple riding mowers in our backyards in North Carolina, Minnesota, and other states. We also spoke with several gardeners and lawn care experts for their take on gas-powered and battery-operated riding mowers, zero-turn riding lawnmowers, and what to look for to find the best option for your yard.
