Nissan has pulled the
sheets off the Concept 2020 Vision GT, the latest in a series of awesome concept
cars that will be available for virtual test-drives in the Gran Turismo
6 video game. The car, which was teased last week, is an attention
grabbing supercar with extreme angles and lines, and may provide hints as to the
look of the next Nissan GT-R.
For now, the Nissan Concept
2020 Vision GT is just a styling exercise penned by Nissan Design Europe, and
it will be available to drive as a free download in Gran Turismo 6 starting
in July. Although, Nissan says the design on the concept was so impressive that
engineers from the Nissan Technical Center in Japan weighed in on the car's
hypothetical performance.
Moreover, the company
strongly hints that this concept will influence a new sports car, potentially
signaling a design direction for the next-generation Nissan GT-R. In a
statement, the company said that the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision GT, "gives
hints as to how a supercar of the future might look… Nissan believes that the
real world is ready for the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo.."
The Nissan Concept 2020
Vision GT has a low, wide nose with a large central air duct, and prominent
vertical air intakes beneath the super-slim headlights on each of the front
fenders. Just like the existing Nissan GT-R, the concept car's hood has creased
vents close to the base of the windshield.
The greenhouse, also, happens
to resembles that of the current Nissan GT-R, with a wraparound
windshield, blacked-out A-pillars, and a tilted roofline. In the rear, the
Vision GT sports an huge carbon-fiber wing, four protruding circular
taillights, and a trapezoidal exhaust mounted above the large aerodynamic
diffuser.
While
it's highly likely this Nissan Concept 2020 Vision GT gives an overstated look
at the next-gen GT-R, for now it will remain a virtual car for PlayStation
gamers.
