Nissan Vision GT Unveiled, Coming to GT6 in July

Another couple of weeks, another Vision GT concept car. This time it's Nissan's turn to join the Vision Gran Turismo project with another futuristic design study. Dubbed Concept 2020 Vision GT, the car features very aggressive lines with distinctive yet familiar taillights that remind us of the R390 GT race car. It also features some design cues borrowed from the current GT-R which leads us to think that it might be an inspiration for the R36 GT-R model.

There's no word if a real life model of the car will be made but players of GT6 will have the chance to take its wheel next month as it will be added to the game in a future update. As for the Volkswagen GTI spyder unveiled last month, you can expect it to pop up tomorrow since Polyphony Digital's online servers will be down for two hours for a scheduled maintenance.

Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Revealed

When Gran Turismo 5 first came out, fans had the chance to get their hands on the Red Bull X2010 model designed Adrian Newey him self. The X2010 (later updated to X2011 through a DLC) was Newey's idea of an F1 car without boundaries. It featured a closed cockpit, ground effect technology with a rear mounted fan that sucked the air beneath the car for more down force and a twin turbo V6 producing more than 1,500 Hp. It was a unique experience to drive the car in the game. It was also a unique feeling to know that a similar car can actually exist in reality.

With the upcoming GT6, the concept of getting racing teams and auto makers getting involved in designing their own cars for the game has been pushed even further.

The idea was to get auto makers to imagine their own concept cars for the Gran Turismo game and making them available for the players through regular downloadable content. The First Vision Gran Turismo is a Mercedes-Benz AMG model and this is how it looks:
