Vision Gran Turismo Concept
Infiniti
Concept Vision Gran Turismo is a vision of what a high performance Infiniti
could look like in the future. It was created through close collaboration with
the creators of Gran Turismo, the racing game franchise developed by Polyphony
Digital Inc. that has sold more than 72 million copies worldwide. The Infiniti
Concept Vision Gran Turismo is available for download in Gran Turismo 6 (GT6)
exclusively on the PlayStation 3 system.
The
Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo is a project that started as an ambitious
global Infiniti Design competition to "design a pure Infiniti GT
car". The winning model was born from the theme put forward by Infiniti's
Design team in Beijing. Part beauty, part beast, its shape is powerful,
sensual, and audacious; a mix of a track machine and the dream of our Chinese
design team to create an ambitious racing language for Infiniti.
The
process of developing the design of the Infiniti Concept Vision Gran Turismo
started with hand sketching, then refined digitally, refined again by hand
sculpting then returned to digital for final refinement.
This
project went much further than being a mere design exercise. It included
thorough examinations and calculations of technical features such as
aerodynamics and engine performance. The front mid-ship / trans-axle powertrain
enables the finely distributed 45:55 front/rear weight balance that fills users
with the joy of driving by actively drifting the rear. As for aerodynamics, the
under-floor airflow control, front and back diffusers, and uniquely-shaped rear
spoiler enable this car to demonstrate high performance without compromising
the impact of the body design.
