and an eight-gear automatic transmission. However, the top speed of 230 miles per hour can only be achieved by drivers in their physical peak (those who exercise between 60 minutes and 120 minutes per day).
Development
After earning their fame by creating the design for the Saleen S7, Phil Frank's design team was approached to design the vehicle as part of the Polyphony Digital/Nike collaboration.
The joint effort to design a "perfectly athletic" vehicle came as a surprise to Polyphony Digital's press conference attendees when company president, Kazunori Yamauchi announced the decision for the product-in-game placement. Nike co-president Mark Parker and two of the Nike ONE designers, Phil Frank and Takuya Asano, attended the ceremony
The design is a swooping roof bearing the Nike Swoosh logo covering one bucket seat which accommodates a stretched-out driving posture, akin to a motorcyclist's. The minimalist design is inspired by Nike founder Bill Bowerman's principles of "less is more".
In-Game Description
The in-game car utilizes fictional technology in addition to Nike technology that exists in their current (shoe-based) products. The vehicle features various forms of heads-up displays.
The car is controlled by a series of non-invasive bioports on the driver's hands and is transceived in the vehicle's central processing unit. Nike says that the vehicle "contributes to the overall feeling of connectivity."
The Nike ONE's drive is described as the HEP Drive (Human Energy Potential), which utilizes the energy collected by a Nike "Spark Suit" and "stores it in batteries in the footwear of the driver". This bio-electricity is then used to power the electric hub-less micromotors located in the wheels of the Nike ONE.
The Nike ONE's maximum in-game top speed was .
Successor
Another fictional concept from Nike, known as the "Nike TWO Vision Gran Turismo", was set to feature in Gran Turismo 6 as part of the "Vision Gran Turismo" project. The car did not appear during the game's life span, but is still scheduled as a future Vision Gran Turismo vehicle.
