Hot on the heels of Bugatti’s Vision GT teasers, Hyundai has released its own set of images for an upcoming Vision Gran Turismo vehicle, named simply “N 2025”. N, for those unaware, is the letter Hyundai has chosen for its in-house performance brand – think BMW’s M, which is a handy comparison, as Hyundai poached one of M’s chief engineers for this ambitious new project late last year.
Like many Vision Gran Turismo vehicles prior to their availability in-game, little has been announced so far with regards to what exactly powers this racer. Visually, it draws inspiration from current closed-cockpit LMP cars, with a notable stabilizing fin underneath the sheet. The nose holds a permutation of Hyundai’s current grille design, complete with an illuminated version of the company logo. On first impression, the car bears more than a striking resemblance to the dearly-departed Mazda Furai (or the LM55 Vision GT car).
“Soon” is the only word on when we’ll get a full unveiling, presumably alongside an in-game availability date as well. Hyundai is said to be bringing its Vision GT to Frankfurt alongside Bugatti, so it won’t be long before we know.
Head on over to the Vision Gran Turismo thread in our GT6 section to discuss this in detail!
I am so sick and tired of reading these dumb and dreadful comments saying “Duh… The Real Driving Simulator…. Not more fantasy cars! I want more real cars! Uh…. Where is Track Creator? Dis game sux now!”
Seriously. PD does whatever it wants to do with their games and also, I don’t care if they don’t have interiors as I never really play the game entirely in interior cam. It’s the exiterior that excites me.
*crosses fingers for interior*
@Tenacious D, yeh but most of them don’t even have interiors, the rain effects are worse than GT5, no worries, it’s just frustration from jumping into the next newer game from the old staple GT5 to the series’ GT6 and straight into a PROLOGUE but with a full price tag.
I would hardly call GT6 a Prologue of anything, considering all but GT5 Prologue had a tiny number of cars and tracks, some of them just one or two of each.
Hey, it’s not the GT6 I would have made either – I would have built it for PS4, even without a compatible wheel controller. Or I would have done something much more imaginative on PS3.
Then again if I was Kaz, and SONY wanted a GT6 on PS3 as soon as possible, and I wanted GT7 on PS4 as soon as possible, I might not have done even as much as he did for GT6. Maybe we should count our blessings.
I know a lot of people want the coolest darn GT6 as possible. But considering the old tech GT6 is built with, and how much better DriveClub, P CARS, Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom and Forza 5 and 6 are, hjow good could it ever be? You guys can cling to the past, I like it too, but I seriously want to move into the next generation with Gran Turismo, so bad I can taste it. And it tastes good! ;D
Ahhh…the old, “Sony made him do it” excuse rears it’s ugly head. Funny how Sony never forced Kaz to release GT5 within 3 years of GT4. Why isn’t Sony forcing him to get that darn GT7 out the door as well? As has been pointed out, most of the problems with GT6 are not related to hardware, they are related to gameplay and game design, all of which could be significantly better independent of the platform they come from.
@johnny Pretty sure that the fact PS4 is selling like hot cakes, Sony has zero need to rush Kaz GT7 out the door in the least. In fact I see the opposite, Sony is probably making Kaz take note of what others are doing and making him take note that GT is in need of a little more flair here and a little less of this robotic here. All this attention that Kaz is getting with auto manufacturers and big organizations like FIA is unprecedented so Sony is more than likely going to want to capitalize on this in a big way. So expect them to present the next GT with all cylinders firing. As to what Kaz will keep and fix and lose is to be seen, but one thing I know is these guys are modelers supreme, their GT5 era models are even more detailed than the Drive Club cars, I’d love to see a machine that could have such detail in real time with their absolutely sublime day/night simulation engine running and their weather simulator is nothing to sneeze at either, I was politely amused to see snow actually fall on Nurburgring in GT5, too bad PS3 doesn’t have the grunt to support all that but one can only imagine the day we actually get a game that you can drive around a course and it slowly begin to snow and as that happens it accumulates and you decide drive a little more spirited, and using a lot of opposite lock. Will they allow full weather simulation based on real world conditions and actual user defined settings to promote it?
Don’t buy it, sorry. Kaz is a Sony VP and the most successful independent studio under the Sony banner and I think he has pretty much a free reign to develop and release the game on his own schedule. GT5 and it’s super long development cycle proves that to me. GT6 was released when it was because the game was nowhere near ready for the PS4, so GT6 serves as a quick money maker with little effort. They pumped out 3-4 million of essentially the same game as GT5 with a few physics and graphics tweaks and a bare minimum of additional content, which finances the next 2-3 years of development on GT7.
Oh and the link with the FIA isn’t unprecedented. There is a game currently released that has FIA sanctioned content and series. GT definitely got pipped on that one.
I get it.
We are currently playing GT5 spec 3 – I realized this a while ago. I am not blind or oblivious to that fact.
I have to disagree about the FIA content. Sure, other games have FIA cars and tracks. But the thoughts of an FIA-sanctioned championship in game? That is a claim only PD can boast….that is if it comes to fruition.
“FIA sanctioned” is simply a stamp of approval. Doesn’t mean anything in terms of gameplay necessarily. Likely the whole FIA thing is just a time trial anyway, nothing special.
There was an article announcing an FIA championship on GT posted on this site a few months ago…
But, you may be right about it meaning nothing in terms of gameplay, at least not anytime soon.
I have to agree with Savage on this. With all the PS4 sales made, Sony is likely very lax with Kaz/PD, and may even be holding them off, requesting they make GT massively bigger and better, in store for a second wind for when PS4 sales inevitably start to drop.
Sony didn’t make PD do it… The fans did! Everyone cried and moaned about GT6 coming to PS4 prerelease, and how it should be on PS3 “since every other platform seen two GT iterations before”, Kaz and team likely felt obligated to oblige their fanbase. If GT6 was merely a cash grab as JP suggested, than what would keep them from doing it again? We should have a GT6 remaster or GT7 Prologue already (or GT7 considering the fact that Kaz said the next GT game would be a full number game and not a prologue; read anti-cash grab) on PS4 and they’d be working on GT8 already. Sure the money is important, but Kaz is a true enthusiast and perfectionist. I don’t think the money means more to him than honor and legacy in the world of simulation, motorsports, and automotive industry. Kaz is a legend of technological innovation and an automotive icon. Cash-grabs are anti-synonymous with what he stands for. Sony on the other hand…
“Everyone cried and moaned about GT6 coming to PS4 prerelease, and how it should be on PS3 “since every other platform seen two GT iterations before”, Kaz and team likely felt obligated to oblige their fanbase.”
By everyone you mean a few dozen people on an internet forum who can’t afford a PS4? Yeah, that would convince me to release a game on PS3 instead of PS4. Actually I didn’t say GT6 was a cash grab, I said it was a more literal, “quick money maker with little effort”, which is, by definition, true. Little support is being given to the game at this point, little effort was put into DLC in general, especially given the size and prestige of the GT franchise and at launch the game wasn’t vastly different from it’s predecessor the way GT5 was vs. GT4.
Honestly – I’ve looked at both cars from the front bumper and really … i don’t see the resemblance between N 2025 & LM55.
The real driving stimulator…
Stimulates his players to find another game-console.
I think we know that the angst over GT6 comes from PD not delivering on the promises many thought this game held. The VGT program is nice, but it should not come at the expense of some of the other cars many of us would like to see in GT. I’ve been driving the LaFerrari so long it isn’t even funny, same for the P1 and now the new Porsche. It seems pretty apparent that those will not be coming until GT7, whenever that is. Now maybe PD just has it’s hands full and is really having trouble keeping pace with the competition, I don’t know. In any event, GT7 could be a make it or break it game, here is hoping that just as the competition has pushed and even moved ahead that, PD has a real good pushback left in them. They know what they need to do, will they do it?
“The Real Driving Simulator” is starting to look like “The Real Made Up Car Driving Game” more and more. Get back to letting us drive real cars PD, and stop selling out to advertising agencies to hype up their brands.
Quoting myself, if people haven’t caught on to what an amazing thing the Vision GT project is, I don’t think any amount of explaining will suffice. But this is going to be one of those milestones in both gaming and automotive history.
Oh by the way, last I checked, there were plenty of real cars in GT6. ;-)
I’ll take that bet on VGT being a “milestone”. I predict it’ll be nothing but a mostly forgotten footnote by the time GT8 rolls around, if there is a GT8. Outside of a small contingent of hardcore fans here on GTP, I don’t see any excitement for the VGT project anywhere. Please show us where all this excitement is in the automotive or gaming world over the VGT project. Even on GTP, the most dedicated GT fansite on the planet, there is only a handful of hardcore VGT enthusiasts that pop up in the VGT threads.
Ten D…It seems to me, by reading these comments on every new VGT, that most people prefer real cars over the Vision ones. I know I do. We can relate more to reality than fantasy. Some of the VGT cars are so over the top they are comical. The Tomahawk do the ring in 3:19!? haha No thanks.
I’m not a big fan of the Tomahawk X or the Red Bull prototype either. But the more normal cars? I don’t suppose you ever took the Citroen GT out for a spin, or the Toyota FT-1 race car. I dig the heck out of the VW Vision cars, and the BMW. And I’m waiting with my PS3 hard drive primed and ready for the Bugatti and Hyundai, as long as it isn’t any crazier in performance than the Furai.
You guys don’t have to like them, it’s a free planet. But the cars are free too, and maybe you won’t, but I really like a number of these VGTs, and love to drive them. And I’m not alone.
This program isn’t going away, so enjoy it or enjoy something else.
@JohnnyP, one more thing. History is often only seen clearly when some distance allows a better perspective.
I don’t particularly think much of the crowd here at GT Planet to be what one would consider visionary or imaginative. If they were, they would find this program to be much more remarkable. That car companies would design concept cars, spend that capital they would normally do for a “serious” concept.
But, hold on. As I stated in another thread, these Vision GT concepts are treated like any other concept car, designed with their engineering and design staff just like any other concept car. But there’s one difference. WE get them in our homes, in our games, and get to experience them directly. What you think of all that… who cares? I am a visionary, and this is like something right out of science fiction. This is the future com to life in a way we hadn’t expected. And I like it. I want more stuff like this to happen.
@TenD A veiled insult targeting most of the GTP community? Not only is that far from “visionary”, it’s not tolerated.
@ Ten D… The problem I have is that the VGT are too extreme. If they were normal concepts that could possibly come into production I would enjoy them more. It seems to me that the car manufactures are trying to out do each other with crazy. Most of the Vision cars won’t even come close to production in any way.
I love cars because of Gran Turismo. Being able to drive real cars that I could never dream of owning. I didn’t even know what a Skyline was until GT1. And what a fantastic car it is.
I own a Mazdaspeed 6, what do you think I like to drive in GT6?
@TenD, again, you miss the point. You are conflating the VGT program in the real world with the VGT’s and their playability and relevance in the game. As I’ve said many times already, we all get how unique the program is, how great a feather it is in the cap of Kaz/PD/Sony etc. That doesn’t mean it translates to gameplay or excitement on the track. Ultimate it’s just another car in the game and once the TT is over and you get your free one, then what? There are no events for it, no incorporation into any career of any kind. Many online lobbies won’t allow these cars into street car rooms because they perform above their specs. Ultimately they are just curiousities, driven once and put away by most people I would suspect. Juxtapose that with what they could have released in place of the VGT’s which is current or historic cars that appeal to many gamers and can be incorporated into other race series or into racing rooms online. Cars tied into the real world have always been and will always be, more popular than fantasy creations that will never see production.
I am getting really tired of those comments.. They always put me in a bad mood.
Looks to me like this will be maybe pitched around the 650-700pp mark, somewhere around the LM55. Unfortunately I’m rubbish at driving fast cars so few of these VGTs are good for my driving preferences, but I can see this being good for online VGT races.
One thing’s for sure. That’s a very lucky sheet – it gets to enjoy all these VGTs before we do. Hope someone remembers to virtually dust that sheet in between. Maybe they take it to the frothy gt5 car wash ?
I would rather have real cars than this. I’m still waiting for the Mazda MX6 and Ford Probe.
Also, a premium of the Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi 3000GT and Mazdaspeed 6 would be nice!! It’s 2015 all ready.
Oh yeah, I would love shuffle racing more than anything. Still play it on my PSP with friends.
I wonder if driverless cars will make it into GT7, I want a self driving Cube Van with a foldout hide-a-bed in it. Why not? what do you need to sit in that car for?
Hahaha good 1lambob
I hope that foldaway has bed belts – napping on the Nordschleife has got to be traumatic!
I wonder if it comes with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty?
Backed by Hyundai Assurance? I wonder if I can trade in my Nissan 2020…
This looks sharp!
Nice =)
Looking good. I love the VGT Project and how enthusiastic the automotive industry is with this GT6 feature.
Hyundail LM55!
Reminds me of the Soldat Crinale a little from the silhoutte, that’s cool.
Hell yeah! Ridge Racer!
If we can color it once it comes out, it’ll be black to symbolise the DEVIL and the Mazda LM55 which is still white in my garage will be the ANGEL!
Then again we already have the SRT Tomahawk X for that but well see its top speed first.
Is that a Hyundai Furai?
Bought a 500gb ps3 so i have more then enough space to redownload gt6. But Only if this car has 3000hp and can go 600mph. hahaha …Nice looking car so far.
Another Vision GT car from 2025?! Sweet! A rival for the Chaparral methinks. Both this and the Chappie look like something from the 2008 Speed Racer movie (which I like very much!)
I really liked the cars from that movie as well, IMO
I hope they don’t set the PP too high, like the fastest SRT is next to pointless off line.
Looks like the Lovers are pleased with any old scraps they are thrown.. don’t be so cheap people!!
I like these two VGTs, but obviously more wish-listed cars would be awesome.
I… I dunno. We didn’t have news from PD except for VGT since… 2 months or so?
Are they afraid of their fans or are they really anti-social with fans?
I really don’t know.. so tempted with the Forza 6 edition Xbox one and Thrustmaster TX Servo base + Alcantara wheel right now. I already have T500RS so can use pedals and sell my GTE edition wheel. Still £700 though!!
@Magic Ayrton
I hope you’re joking with that comment.
Looks like the Haters gonna hate.
“PD will never learn that players want that…”
“FH2 added these…”
“Drive Club brought this…”
“Asseto Corsa released more DLC, which includes those…”
“Look at the excitement about FM6…”
Why can’t some of you just appreciate something prototype? If your so happy with your other games just stay there. It’s not about we want to “be so cheap”. We just have learned not being so insusceptible
@jontikis – In the few months that I have been posting here, I have noticed that when it comes to anything Gran Turismo, it is usually met with some type of ill will.
As I posted in another article, if you aren’t happy with GT6 now, no amount of “scraps” is going to make you happy, so by all means play what WILL make you happy so you guys can quit angsting on the boards about how rotten Kaz and PD are, how rotten GT6 is, how fed up you are (constantly), and how dumb we are for liking this rotten game.
Spend $180 on everything in RaceRoom, or $300 (and more per year) on iRacing, or $400 (to whatever $Grand) to upgrade/build a gaming rig capable of running P CARS, or $800-plus to buy that XBone racing rig to play Forza 6. Money is so fleeting anyway. ;D
Don’t get me wrong, people… I’m cool with these VGTs but more wish-listed car would be awesome.
Looks like a modern LMP1, can’t wait to see the full car!
Uh-oh. I feel more VGT haters coming… and they’re real.
That silhouette looks badass IMO. Eager to this car and the bugatti.
I don’t think most people hate the VGT’s (I love the more “realistic” ones like the BMW VGT). It’s more of an issue of where development and modeling time of cars that don’t exist and can’t really be used in any races/events besides stuff like time attacks could be spent on REAL cars that GT fans would want in the game. Sticking with BMW; M6, M5, 2 series M since the VGT is based off the 2 series. These cars would get people more excited than the VGT’s. Just like at the excitement behind FM6 as Turn10 announced their car list.
Just LOOK at the excitement behind FM6 as Turn10 announced their car list.
I really wish I could edit my posts.
The people excited about the Forza 6 car list have memory issues. It’s very similar to F4’s list. I am hesitantly optimistic that F6 will be a good game, but the only real draw for me is that Livery Editor, so I’m still angsting. F4 is still plenty good for that, and its version of Race Mod, and as I said it’s car list is close.
If people haven’t caught on to what an amazing thing the Vision GT project is, I don’t think any amount of explaining will suffice. But this is going to be one of those milestones in both gaming and automotive history.
@Tenacious D I don’t have memory issues about that case. Not very nice of you to straight up insult people like me.
I’m just eager for night racing and rain racing in Forza 6 and I’m eager to try Forza Horizon 2’s car model into their Forza Motorsport counterpart in both weathers and night time. Also there’s a few tracks I never tried before and the showcase events with some being endurance will be really good.
I also retracted my insults towards GT6. I was being a fool when I wrote it. Still, Forza 6 is gonna be a good time spender until GT7 arrives while GT6 will be an excellent speed cruising game. Did I mention my top speed is over 400 MP/H / 700 Km/h with the Tomahawk X? Low drag mode, draft, then go to SSRX and it’s all do-able in the first straight.
#ToEachTheirOwn
“The people excited about the Forza 6 car list have memory issues. It’s very similar to F4’s list.” What a silly statement. Of course any game with a list of hundreds of cars is going to have a great deal of similarities to other games with hundreds of cars. There is plenty of crossover between Forza and the GT series as well. If there isn’t a lot of crossover it has to mean that many important and relevant cars were dropped from the series which would make no sense. That statment is nothing more than trying to downplay the stellar car list for Forza 6.
@Brunet, I was unaware that you also posted under the nick pasigiri ;-)
@Johnny, I’m sorry, but have you lined up the car lists of Forza 4 and Forza 6? I don’t think you have. If you did, you wouldn’t protest so vehemently. Yes, it’s a nice list, I’ll agree to that much, but stellar? Not so much, because GT6’s would be galactic in comparison.
@Tenacious D Hopefully that wasn’t an insult.
Any time you want to compare premium car lists between Forza 6 and GT6 just let me know TenD.
Wow looks terrible !!
Yep. Even before I can finish my comment about the haters being real, we’ve got one.
This guy……..
Oops the word “terrible” hasn’t the same definition ! Terrible in french meens admirable
It’s under a sheet……
