Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, a concept supercar developed in conjunction with Polyphony Digital Inc., the creators of the racing video game Gran Turismo for PlayStation, is certain to further increase Nissan’s sizable presence in the game and beyond.
Nissan introduced one of the most radical-looking Vision GT project cars at last year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and it looks like the company is ready to do a bit more with the progressive-looking concept.
At this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, they’ll be revealing an updated (real-life) version of the car in a new “Fire Knight” color and “a new expression of Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille”.
Of course, the announcement has only fueled speculation in the automotive press that the “Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo” car is offering a heavy tease of what to expect in the next-generation GT-R, expected to be revealed sometime within the next few years.
The Tokyo Motor Show kicks off later this month on October 29th. As always, we’ll keep an eye out for any additional developments from Japan. Thanks to Furinkazen for the tip!
I like the way VGT cars experiment with different drive trian…power sell,battery, highbrids…and othere aerodynamics and the fact GT6 incorporates all these technology’s
Psychopulse
Next-gen GT-R… oh yea! On a side note, did you guys notice how the photos with the white background are actually taken at the City of Arts and Sciences in Photo Mode!?

TeamCZRRacing

If they do update it in GT6, I seriously hope that they make it fully upgradeable like the BMW M4 became. The 2020 has so much potential for top speed racing…
Obelisk
Agreed. It also needs a major suspension re-do. Really not feeling the fixed camber and toe…

inb4 October 29th update with this and Hyundai
alex201225
Not have Bugatti VGT??
sparkytooth
Well the Bugatti seems iffy right now, atleast we know the Hyundai is in the code
pixel_geist
pretty slow day at PD when your vision GT car gets an update….
TeamCZRRacing
Why is it a slow day at PD?
Obelisk
It should say slow day at Nissan…

I like this car actually but when received it was fitted with Sports tires and 600+hp doesn’t do it justice.
Should it made its appearance on GT6 it better have MORE power and spec-ed for racing. Fast and legalised for the Le Mans!
Fat Tyre
Seriously butt ugly, a step backwards for Nissan.
TeamCZRRacing
It’s a concept. Concepts are meant to help designers to decide on which direction they should go with their design in the future. That’s why some look better than others.
Obelisk
I will say, a lot of cars are headed in the direction the Nissan 2020 is in. Have you even seen the 2016/7 Prius?
Fat Tyre
I have and it is a kick in the sack.
Johnnypenso
I also think it’s ugly. I’ve liked the look of most of the VGT’s so far but this one got beat with the ugly stick before it left the designer’s table.
Rage9one
Hopefully they might add a detailed interior to it.
Obelisk

I do have to say, it doesn’t look all that different. Maybe they’ll add the color in the game?
kolio123
Meh. Not interested in VGTs. Would prefrer real cars PD.
VetteZR1
I’m with you brother, haven’t downloaded a VGT in over a year.
TeamCZRRacing
Then you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Most of them are really fun to drive.
Deatharrow
so you had driven the zytek and the GT-R LM witch are ” real ” cars you are not a fan of cars , because the VGT’s are really awesome
acedition333
Yea, fun to drive once. That’s about it.

Did you guys even read the article?
“At this year’s Tokyo Motor Show, they’ll be revealing an updated (real-life) version of the car in a new “Fire Knight” color and “a new expression of Nissan’s signature V-Motion grille”.
They’ve made it into a “real car”. So what are you talking about? Btw, all “real cars” are drawn up and created into a computer models first before hitting production. We just have the opportunity to play with the computer models before they’re physically made. So unless by “real cars” you guys mean cars meant to hit mass production, u guys can drop it line of reasoning.
The ZZII. Cadillac Cien, GT90, Vector M12 & W8, Renault Espace, Suzuki Escudo, multiple GT-86 concepts, Camouflage Corvette, R8 Concept, GT by Citroen, etc. are all VGTs to some degree and represents the uniqueness in the offerings Gran Turismo has across the board throughout each iteration. This is no different and falls perfectly in line with all that is Gran Turismo (Kubelwagens, Nike Cars, Lunar Rovers, and all…). It’s been about 2 years and the VGT Project should soon be coming to a close, so give it a rest please. The real cars will come in GT7. In the meantime, why not enjoy what you have?
I find it odd that rather than appreciate the uniqueness and exclusivity of these vehicles, you’d rather these vehicles be common and rolling the streets everywhere first before finding them acceptable. Meanwhile, people usually prefer being the first to have things, and usually run out quickly to get them before anyone else does… Bizzare…
Johnnypenso
Congratulations Kolio on Member of the Week!
Pretty sure “real cars” usually refers to cars currently or previously in production and sold on the showroom floor. Pretty simple concept really.
SZRT Ice
Simple “concept”. Oh, the irony. I couldn’t agree more.
biftizmo
Bugatti varon….theirs only 450 of them…production car or still concept car?
Obelisk
biftizmo, the definition of a production car is a vehicle with at least 30 produced a year. The Veyron is very much a low-run production car. Concepts are usually one-off, but some are pre-production cars. The MX-Crossport is a good example, as it’s a pre-pro of the CX7 SUV.
You may want to read a dictionary, too…
biftizmo
Obelisk…..30 you say. Is that made up or a fact? Just because you have a dictionary doesn’t mean you can make stuff up….
Shall we all read all dictionary’s in all languages before we come on here just to chat…if so then I think you might be here bye yourself…ease up buddy.lets not scare anyone away with our English pompas’ness…
Johnnypenso
When assessing speed records, the Guinness Book of World Records uses 30 as the minimum production run to qualify as a production car. It’s as good a definition as any. The FIA used to use 25 in 12 months as a general rule for being included as a “production” sports car.
Alutec
Ahem. What’s different exactly?

Good question. I took pics of the original vgt and this one and I don’t see any difference except for paint.

This one have a fully modeled interior. OK, maybe… :D

Though the car originally debuted at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it will receive minor re-tweaks for its Tokyo reveal. Gone is the dark silver paint, traded in for a vivid red hue Nissan calls Fire Knight. The grille has been revamped as well, now bolder and with the V’s arms extending into the bodywork. This so-called V-motion grille has been propagated throughout Nissan’s production car lineup from the Murano to the Maxima.
GTvsForza
I’m not a fan of the V-motion grille, but love the Fire Knight color.
Exactly 55 years after the original car was revealed at the Turin Motor Show, Bertone has announced that its pretty Runabout concept car will be reborn as a modern vehicle destined for production in 2026.
Red Bull has taken the covers off its first ever production car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the dramatic RB17 track toy making its public debut.
Subaru is hoping to climb back to the top of the Goodwood Festival of Speed shootout this year, eight years after its last victory, with a mean-looking time attack machine dubbed “Project Midnight”.
Koenigsegg has once again moved the bar on car performance world records, beating its own markers in four different acceleration and deceleration metrics.
A Group B rally legend is the latest car to join the ranks of reborn classics, as a Ford performance specialist has announced it will be building a limited run of Ford RS200s to mark the car’s 40th anniversary.
Bugatti is set to reveal its first all-new car in eight years later this month, with an as-yet unnamed hypercar sporting an entirely new V16 powertrain waiting under the covers untl June 20.
Four months after revealing the Genesis X Gran Berlinetta Vision GT, the Korean manufacturer has shown off an updated version of the vehicle created as a tribute to legendary Le Mans racer and brand partner Jacky Ickx.
Reminds me of R390 a bit. :)
