I think that this Vision GT is dead. R.I.P.

Just checked. All Vision GT buttons are still there.

Just checked. All Vision GT buttons are still there.

Maybe they remove them next update. Because it's been almost forever since they released the Mercedes one.

Agreed. No point in having them in there if no VGTs aren't coming...

Mmm... videogame car.

 

[Samus]

Mmm......read it properly.

The challenge is to develop not only a Volkswagen video game car but also a brand new video game scenario for your concept – racing, speed and drifting could be a direction.

What does that have to do with the VGT? VW's design was supposedly done already no?

 

[KKHN]

Nobody knows.

I posted it because it's very similar to the concept of Vision GT and to emphasize the lack of real news.
However I apologize, I saw now that it was already posted.

In fact there's a news, a bad news, Stile Bertone is in bankruptcy, most likely it closes.

I believe Bertone has already been removed from the VGT list in GT6

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Next VGT car? I`m going to go for the BMW Vision GT.

 

[e30 freek]

I give you the BMW

A powerful three-litre six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology delivers a maximum power of 404 kW/541 BHP between 6,200 rpm and 7,300 rpm. Its peak torque of 680 Nm/69 kgfm is developed at just 1,900 rpm. A sequential six-speed transmission, operated by gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, distributes engine power to the driven rear axle.

The outstanding performance characteristics of the BMW Vision Gran Turismo, which weighs only 1,180 kilograms, include perfect 50:50 axle load distribution.

That BMW! UUURRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! THE most beautiful thing they have designed in years!

[omgsean1]

Let me know there is no interior for BMW VGT since I check on the new trailer.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

I like that the headlights are shaped like the "V" in the word Vision. Or is that just me / coincidence? Thought it was similar to what Mercedes did with the 4 playstation symbols in the headlight trim.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

That's a shedload of torque.

This thing is going to decimate tyres.

 

[Imari]

Sigh.

BMW, you could have made anything you wanted. ANYTHING.

So you make an M3 with a widebody kit. Woo. Colour me unexcited.

I didn't really like the look of the Merc either, to be honest, but at least it was radical and unlike anything I'd ever seen before. It was a true expression of a designer letting themselves go. It was a refreshing look at what a car could be like if money and real world considerations were no object at all, and I thought that was pretty cool.

I expect to be pilloried for not liking it, but there you have it. I expect someone to have made that bodykit for an M3 within a month.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I can take a mere 10% tyre hit. Annihilate might be the word you are looking for.

 

[Monatsende]

Mercedes Benz, BMW. Next Audi? So far we have them German companies in the lead...

Nice word, "decimate".

An M3 with a wide body kit?

It's clearly an M235i Racing with an even wider body kit

edit: yeah, it looks nothing like an M3 BTW..

The bodykit reminds me of a modern version of this.

 

[MatskiMonk]

No doubt that is what they were going for, hey refer in the text to BMW touring cars of the 70's

 

[diegorborges]

The car and video are awesome. I like it!

 

[Imari]

You see what you want to see.

The Merc looked nothing like any Merc ever produced before, that I'm aware of anyway.

The BMW VGT is very, very clearly strongly related to the BMW 3 series. You could make the argument that the nose is more Z4 than M3, but the overall style of the thing screams M3 to me. It could be a design prototype for the next M3, and I wouldn't see anything odd about that. Pull off the wing, narrow the flares down a bit and pull the splitter/diffuser up so that they'd clear road bumps and it'd make a fine M3.

But hey, if you think it looks nothing like an M3, then each to their own. Some people also think all 911s are very distinct, and others find them to have very similar design.
