SRT has lifted the veils off the Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo, a single-seat hybrid concept that will be released exclusively in the Gran Turismo 6 video game.

Designed by the SRT (Street and Racing Technology) engineering team, the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo is based on “a 20-year forward vision of existing and future potential technologies,” according to the automaker.

The concept is offered in three powerful versions (S, GTS-R and X) which combine a futuristic hybrid powertrain with a wide-angle V10 and pneumatically driven front wheels. The range-topping SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo X boasts 2,590 (virtual) horsepower combined.

The car’s extreme exterior look is the result of a FCA US internal design competition at FCA US for a futuristic (2035) interpretation of a high-performance Dodge. The winning sketch came from Paul Hoste, a young designer who grew up playing Gran Turismo.

The Tomahawk’s transparent elements, including the cockpit and engine cover, are made from ultra-light graphene skins. The driver views the instruments and communication system on a clear digital overlay on the graphene windshield.

The car features a large air intake for engine cooling mounted on the hood, while active panels mounted above the front and rear fenders are constantly moving, via pneumatic assist, to create the optimal amount of aerodynamic downforce for braking assist and traction under acceleration.

The SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo weighs just 1,658 lbs (752 kg) in its ultimate performance configuration, making it just slightly heavier than a current day Formula One race car. The rear wheels are powered by a wide-angle (144 degrees) 7.0-liter V10 engine that delivers up to 2,168hp. The front wheels are pneumatically driven independently, with a combined output of up to 2,590hp in the X version.
