“Ultimate Gaming Machine: Playstation on a BMW M3 E30 Racer

Post by bimmermania »

There is no secret that the computer games industry is booming and it has been growing for years. From games like Grand Theft Auto to Gran Turismo, many automotive fans enjoy spending some time with a remote in their hands and in a front of a TV or monitor playing these games.

But where does BMW cars come in play? Well, Gran Turismo already has the M3, but what if you actually get to play those games from within a BMW vehicle?

Garage Studie put together one of the best Gran Turismo game rig we have ever seen. With The Ultimate Gaming Machine, Studie AG basically took the car and threw a large LCD right on the hood, so that every time you look out the windshield, you end up staring at a Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

You play it right in the cabin using the car’s actual controls – steering wheel, clutch, pedals – to maneuver your vehicle in the game.

There aren’t many other details available or what the full setup involves, but we know that Studie Garage is famous in Japan for their custom builds and installation of AC Schnitzer parts.

Studie AG has the car on display (and available for playing) at their Yokohama shop, probably for the benefit of visiting customers.
