Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Revealed

Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed their ‘Vision Gran Turismo’ – a virtual concept designed for the latest Gran Turismo PlayStation game due to release on December 6th 2013.

As good as it looks, you won’t be seeing this car on the road as it is designed to be a virtual racer. It’s not all doom & gloom though because Merc’ have build a 1:1 scale model for research/development purposes.

This front-engined rolling piece of art will virtually feature a rear-wheel-drive arrangement with gullwing doors like the SLS AMG.

A fire-breathing AMG V8  will be pumping out 577 BHP and 590 lb-ft of torque, which is supported by a body that weighs just 3,053 lbs.

All of this immense power will probably need out-of-this-world stopping power, and it does! The Vision GT comes with AMG’s high-performance ceramic composite brakes which can rip your face off if you slam on the brake pedal.

All of which is normal, lots of power, a light body, beautiful design, it’s a supercar recipe that’s lasted decades, however, 8 exhaust pipes sets it apart from other Supercars.

The interior was not shown in the press release, but Merc’ says it comes with an F1-inspired cockpit with red integral sport seats and a display that floats above the steering wheel – how cool is that!
