Project CARS has the potential to “showcase the hidden power that the Wii U has.” So says Slightly Mad Studios creative director Andy Tudor, who was speaking with GamingBolt in a new interview.

When asked if the Wii U’s lower specs would undermine the game’s visuals, Tudor said:

“No, if anything I think it’ll showcase the hidden power that the Wii U has. There’s no equivalent of Project CARS on Wii U, yet we hear the shouts from Nintendo fans loud and clear that they can’t wait to get their hands on this kind of experience so we hope to make them proud with the quality of the visuals.

“Sure there are maybe more stringent technical constraints but the same core experience will remain, plus additional features that take advantage of the controller’s unique second screen and touch interface.”

Project CARS is currently scheduled for launch later this year.
