BMW Vision Gran Turismo

BMW has announced the BMW Vision Gran Turismo, which is a new virtual race car for Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3, this new virtual vehicle is based on the BMW M235i, the videos below show this new BMW Vision Gran Turismo in action.

The BMW Vision Gran Turismo is powered by a three-litre six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology delivers a maximum power of 404 kW/549 hp between 6,200 min-1 and 7,300 min-1, and it features a 6 speed sequential transmission.

Following in the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s, the BMW design team has created an uncompromising road racer for the modern era. Crisp proportions and a dynamic silhouette give the BMW Vision Gran Turismo the appearance of speed, even standing still. Front and rear spoilers ensure optimum down-force, while all air conduction elements reduce drag and lower the vehicle’s total weight through the use of carbon fibre. The paint finish in BMW M colours traces the flow of the airstream, recalling BMW Motorsports successes. Karim Habib, Head of Design BMW Automobiles said: “The BMW Vision Gran Turismo is pure BMW sportiness and dynamics. It’s a precise driving machine engineered and designed to race and win.”
