Motor Trend’s 2007 “Power List” includes Gran Turismo designer
Kazunori Yamauchi of Sony Computer Entertainment made it to Motor Trend’s 2007 “Power List.” Yamauchi is the designer of Gran Turismo. (That’s him in his Fairlady Z – sorry, we couldn’t find a bigger image.)
The “Power List” is made by the editors of Motor Trend magazine to honor the top 50 people who have made “significant contributions” that help to “shape the next generation of auto enthusiasts.” The list has the usual chairmen and CEOs of automobile companies, but it’s also got celebrities and individuals from other industries (Jay Leno comes it an #49 for being an influential car enthusiast).
According to Primedia (the publishers of Motor Trend), Kazunori Yamauchi comes it at #29.
The full list came out in the February issue of Motor Trend – which has been out since January 2.
And please don’t complain that this news is old. Good news never grows old, and we’d rather write about something good when it comes to the PS3.
After all the Sony-bashing that’s going on out there, let’s grow up and learn to give credit where credit is due: congratulations to Yamauchi, to Sony, and to the PlayStation franchise for a game where the cars look like the real thing.
