Nissan’s Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo virtual supercar designed for the popular Gran Turismo driving game will become a reality at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 26. That’s because Nissan will display a full size concept model of the 2+2 supercar featuring an advanced aerodynamic body, four-wheel drive chassis and active suspension.
Nissan says the Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo adapts race-track technology (in particular, air flow management) to a road car environment. This is why the carmaker says that the extreme design of the concept car is partly shaped by emotion and partly by the wind.
Of course, the first people able to drive the futuristic supercar will be Gran Turismo 6 gamers, with the Concept 2020 to be available for download in July in 10 different shades for Playstation users.
“This is in line with the Nissan philosophy. In reality, not everyone would be able to own a car like Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, but through Gran Turismo anyone can drive it and experience Nissan’s promise of delivering innovation that excites,” said Koji Nagano, Vice President, Nissan Design Europe.
Finally, in the press release Nissan hints at a production version of the study that may be driven up the Goodwood hill in 2020. Who knows, maybe it will wear the GT-R badge…
