Evolution of the Escudo Pikes Peak in Gran Turismo (1999 - 2022 / GT2 - GT7) - Drag and Showcase

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak has arrived at the legend car dealer in Gran Turismo 7 and it is one of the most iconic and powerful cars in the history of the franchise. Here you can see a 1000 meter machine test run on the drag strip with each version of the car and also the showroom and garage views of the car in each game, from 1999's Gran Turismo 2 all the way to GT7.

The Escudo first appeared together with the Cultus Pikes Peak in Gran Turismo 2, which also had a version of Pikes Peak as a playable track. It returned in every numbered GT game afterwards and now also in Gran Turismo 7.

The car was driven in real life by legendary Japanese driver Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, who won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb a total of 7 times in different Suzuki cars. This weekend is actually the 100th edition of the event in real life, although sadly Tajima is not competing anymore.

If you want to test the car in GT7 before buying it, then you can drive it as a loaner car in the latest online time trial challenge in Sport Mode, which takes place at Alsace. It's actually pretty hard to tame this monster of a car on that track but I will try to make a video of that challenge over the coming weeks and I may also have a go with it on Fisherman's Ranch, so check back later if you want to see the car in action on a track with a lot of corners. :)
