Infiniti Brings Vision Gran Turismo Car to the Real World

Infinti-Vision-Gran-Turismo-25

There’s a bit of a tradition among all the car manufacturers participating in the Vision Gran Turismo project, bringing their virtual concepts to life with a real-world model.

Infiniti has finally joined the party, revealing their Vision GT model during a special event at the Shanghai Auto Show.

The Shanghai reveal makes sense, considering the car itself was designed by Infiniti’s new Chinese-based design studio, as explained in the car’s launch trailer:

As noted by Infiniti, “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.”

The Infiniti Vision GT car was released in Gran Turismo 6 update 1.15 last December. Here’s the full gallery of the new real-world model:

    Put a GTR Engine in it. Or even better, the V8 from the Titan, and I’ll gladly sell most of my internal organs to buy a working one.

    “Bringing it to the real world” in the form of a scale model (read large hot wheels)

    Real world model = no it doesn’t work silly! its just a big fake model

    That’s cool though, it shows they might do something with this design, might.

    The Infiniti is probably my favourite visual design of all for the VGT series. Very beautiful car.

      Given time, I’m sure PD will release an update to the car with a realized interior matching that of the real life model.

      I sure hope so. some of these cars look really nice but I refuse to drive them if they don’t have interiors. It’s such a shame that the companies go to all the work to create a car from scratch, only to have the interior blacked out.

    3. StarTroop

      I don’t understand why you car about the interior so much. The designers put far more work into how the car works and how it looks on the outside. The interior is the lest of their worries, because apart from the weight are whatever’s inside, it has no affect on the main purpose of the vehicle.

      Besides, the Gran Turismo cockpit view is the least useful.

      I have a steering wheel, therefore, to me, the interior view is the only view I should drive in. So a blank or blacked out interior severely bothers me.

      The cockpit view is not realistic. Head does not move an peripheral vision is also crap. It is rediculous to think you are simulating a real experience in the cockpit. Bumper cam is more accurate to real life than cockpit.

    6. VetteZR1

      Sounds to me like a few posters can’t handle the challenges of driving cockpit view. Not real enough for them. Yeah, I always drive my cars hanging from my front bumper.

    7. DUC748inMD

      +1 on lack of peripheral in cockpit view. Bumper cam provides a wide view of the road ahead and just enough height from the road to give you the information you need to push.

      Looking forward to seeing how Project Cars brings head movement to the interior views.

    8. SZRT Ice

      Project CARS supports Project Morpheus (PS4’s VR headset; See Oculus Rift). If anyone is expecting immersion in the interior view, or a more advanced virtual racing experience; period. Then Project Morpheus will be a steering wheel/cockpit driver’s saving grace.
