Joining the league of concepts that made the jump from the virtual reality of Sony’s Playstation Gran Turismo 6 game to the real world is Infiniti’s Vision GT.
The Japanese model was displayed as a real “flesh and bones” concept for the very first time last week during the inaugural Infiniti Design Night in China on the eve of the Auto Shanghai 2015, where Infiniti also paraded the Q80 Inspiration and Q60 Coupe studies.
“The Q80 Inspiration, the Q60 Concept and the Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo are all thematically different,” said Alfonso Albaisa, Infiniti Executive Design Director. “Yet the same thread of handcrafted artistry weaves through them, and they all speak with one Infiniti design language.”
You might be surprised to learn that that the Vision GT was penned in China by Infiniti’s Design team in Beijing after they won a global competition to “design a pure Infiniti GT car”.
According to the carmaker, “the team kept to Infiniti’s design language and added some Chinese influences to the Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo. The fluid movement and the delicate gradation of the body are inspired by traditional Chinese calligraphy and landscape paintings, while the character lines uninhibitedly flowing through the car reflect the dynamism of China.”
Gran Turismo 6 players can download the Infiniti GT Vision on PS3 and take it for a virtual spin in the racing game.
