Here it is! The first Vision GT concept car of 2015 was officially revealed during a special presentation at the Festival Automobile International in Paris earlier this evening, where Gran Turismo 6 was also awarded an innovation prize for the Vision GT program.
“It’s a genuine sports car which combines the passion for cars with enjoyment behind the wheel,” explains the car’s designer, Victor Sfiazof. “There are numerous references to the past, present and future. The idea of a barquette stemmed from the Alpine A450’s involvement in the Le Mans 24 Hours, but the front end takes its inspiration from the A110, while the vertical fins at the rear recall the A210 and A220 and make a real contribution to the car’s styling. As an aeronautic fan, I also wanted to incorporate cues from the world of aviation, too. The airbrakes add a nice high-tech touch to the rear end.”
The official press release confirms the car will become available in GT6 this March.
Thanks to @Soblacktie and for early photos from the event!

I can’t wait to drive it! The interior looks amazing!
Wow Ill admit there are a dozen or so real world production cars I would like to see in GT an also quite a few standards made to premiums. Now saying that I am in total awe over these VGT cars ,to me the BMW while a nice looking car and the Mitsubishi are my least favorite and the nissan and infiniti look too much alike in my opinion but those very minor nit picks dont change my oerall feeling and love of these vgt This alpine looks beautiful That white color like the one in the articleprofile pic is stunning. The Mazda is another car that just blew me away and then that Chapperal once I drove a few hundred miles with it nd learned how to drive it at high speeds just turned me onto that car. The Aston, Subaru, VW, the two Benzes and that Toyota my god a beutiful car. Now I want the Lambo, Nike and Jordan, Zagato and Giugiaro real bad but something about GM Design, SRT, Honda Tesla, Mini and Peuguot have got me jonsen. I was really hoping Fords was going to use the GT as influence but now I dont see that anymore and I keep praying Alfa decides to make a combck. I would also love to see some suprise new entires like Ferrari, Maserati, RUF, Shelby, Cadillac Acura, Holden Jaguar, Lotus, Pagani and McLaren(I know this is as unrealistic as GT geting Porsches exclusive licensing and the Hudson Hornet winning this years Daytona 500 but he I dream a lot when I sleep and these are happey dreams) Now I didnt even open the article about the Lexus VGT yet but I gotta go change my drawers first as this could get awful messy. Keep on racing all my fellow GT gamers and mabey youll see my tailights in the future.(just joking) a little.
Looks fast! Though I would prefer if the cockpit was centered instead of on the right side, but it has an interior, so I shouldn’t be complaining. Make it March!
Looks like @dethringer and I had the same thoughts.
As soon as I saw those pictures I started whistling the Speed Racer theme song.
Love the cartoony faces. X X eyes on the race version. :D
Not enough to get me interested in GT6 again, the orange/blue color scheme looks nice, but that’s about it.
Perhaps they’re saving it for March, in order to stay relevant during P.CARS release ? ;)
I don’t think releasing one car is going to make any difference vs. a full game release on a completely different platform.
March? Lets hope that’s because they’re focusing on GT7, though I have reason to believe that until course maker and B-Spec arrives, GT6 isn’t finished. Spec 2.0 maybe?
Enough rambling… this car looks amazing!
WTH?!? March?!?
That’s a very sharp looking car. That’s what I’d have in mind if I was making my own VGT car, a takeoff on past history, updated to modern specs and design. Well done Alpine :tup
Sharp looking thing
This one’s already my favourite.
looks pretty good
So apparently the car will have three color schemes: white with blue, orange with blue and matte black.
The RWD Vision GT is virtually powered with a central mounted 4.5-liter V8 producing 450 hp and torque of 580 Nm, which hi 900 kilogram weight this racer can reach a top speed of 320 km / h. And it uses a sequential zeven gear transmission.
I like this car and can’t wait to take it for a spin.
A zeven speed? Wow. Guess this’ll be the only Vision GT car with an alien gear count.
Have you seen the pictures over on the PD site that show the airbrakes deployed? I can’t wait to see how those react in heavy traffic. I usually just get one of the VGT cars, but those colors, I think I’ll be getting one in every color.
I can’t wait to do the Seasonal Event Super Lap to earn the car for free…and then never drive it again.
Who needs new cars in GT6? Just because I love Lamborghini, why would I want the new Huracan in GT6? That would be madness…
I am exhausted of fantasy cars…
Hopefully Pcars will do it for you then :)
Actually PCars does have one fantasy car, a generic stock car.
Interesting that you’d recommend PCars instead of just driving one of the other 1200 non-fantasy cars in GT6 :)
This will look great as a snow drifter, in Stig’s Outfit.
Some people say, his personal speed record in the luge can be doubled using this Alpine car,
Wow. Looks awesome. Will enjoy this.
Here’s a new car! Have fun driving it two months from now! Grrrrrrrrrr.. :( It would have been cool if they introduce it and say “Available to download now in GT6 worldwide!”
White, Blue, and Black. Interesting. I like it overall. I wonder if there will be other colors. This is an interesting idea!
Is that LMP in the video going to be included as well, imo that would be more interesting than a fictional car.
Also, when is PD going to put races in the game? It’s pointless to have cars & tracks when there’s no racing in the game and one is limited to time trial only.
Its a nice car, but why release it in March? I think most people will be playing Project Cars in March.
Makes absolutely no difference what you write prior “most people will be playing Project Cars in March”. cheers!
Nice design
Wow! I hope the rear view “mirror” (camera) is working, because the interior view looks awesome!
The shot of the interior, the 6th one I think. On the dash is the track map of the Bugatti circuit.
Bugatti Circuit would be a nice addition to the game. Same goes for Monza Oval Circuit, Suzuka West & Tsukuba Short. I’ve heard about hackers who were able to access those areas, meaning they’re in the game, so it’s weird that they’re not playable.
probably because Alpine is french, so is the Bugatti circuit.
WOW!!! That looks gorgeous. Can’t wait to drive that in GT6. =D
looks great.
Looks awesome, cant wait to drive with in car view :D
From in game news announcement: “The Alpine Vision Gran Turismo will be downloadable free of charge in Gran Turismo 6 on PlayStation3 from March 2015”
I love this car and I cant wait for it. But now I heard the news that we wont be getting this until March.
“The Alpine is expected to arrive in GT6 sometime before the end of January.” Well they have to give it to us before Saturday this week ’cause that’s when it ends.
Semantics of wording. We got basically the same statement with the VW VGT car. And it was ANNOUNCED that month, then came out a month or more later…..
Yeah, it’s annoying, but that’s how it goes.
Here’s hoping that there will be an update this week!
Looks like someone was watch Speed Racer
The interior has been photographed.
PD’s logic -> put a black shade instead.
Except its open top. Going off that Logic, the Volkswagen VGT is incorrect as it should’ve had a black shade as well.
it has an interior? I forgot, I don’t even bother using these vgt more than once (except the Subaru Viziv)
You would think that, but in-game screenshots on gran-turismo.com show a full interior.
It reminds me of an updated version of the Auto Union Type C. Very cool indeed. :)
It looks… Eh…
I agree. The elongated rear fins don’t help it.
The only nice thing about the car is probably the headlights and the air brake. At the moment, it doesn’t have a lot going for it.
And the release date of March 2015 doesn’t help.
Yes!!! It’s everything I wanted from the brand I fan boy the most for! Got have an interior for me to get a lot of use, which this should, and I love open top Le Mans cars, so that thrills me. Plus it’s an Alpine! If I can paint this I will be beyond satisfied!
Oh, and did I mention I love that it’s a long tail?
And it’s inspired by Alpine cars of old… Which is what you criticised the Mazda VGT for doing.
Lol he is obviously a fanboy. It happens to everyone though. :)
lol
What a thing to behold!
Brilliant looking machine.
I think the designer watch a little bit too much speed racer cartoons as a kid
I’m gonna guess you have never have seen Alpine’s old racing cars.
That’s extreme. 50/50 good bad extreme in my humble opinion.
Purebred racer though.
I spy the Bugatti Circuit..
Make it possible, PD!..
Oh, and interior :D
It’s amazing!
It looks awsome!
Not sold on the choice of wheels, but otherwise.. love it.
I agree dude, you know me when you think about my name closely and look at my profile :P
Ehh. I dunno. I’m not entirely sold on those looks to be quite honest.
