At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Nissan has unveiled their Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, a new design vision for gamers who traded their consoles for real cars at the four-day event.
The concept is the latest supercar in the Gran Turismo video game franchise, now in its 15th year. The car is a key factor in Nissan GT Academy, the program where gamers who aspire to become race car drivers are put through the paces and a few find the pro grid.
According to Nissan Design Europe Design Director Taisuke Nakamura “People are quite enthusiastic to race a car in a virtual environment. It’s a new styling challenge without any constraints, boundaries, so it was a purely design challenge from our side to see how much we can go further to achieve an attractive design. It’s like a virtual motor show to me.”
