Following the sketches that were revealed last week, Volkswagen has lifted the sheets off the GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo, a car that is designed exclusively for the Gran Turismo 6 video game.
The car will be added to the PlayStation 3 exclusive title Gran Turismo 6 in a free update planned for June 2014. Volkswagen will also present a full-scale model of the car on May 29 at the Wörthersee GTI Meet in Austria, so you’ll be able to see it in flesh soon!
The actual car is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo VR6 TSI engine that develops 503hp and a massive 665Nm of torque. Mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, the engine is an evolution of the powerplant used in last year’s Design Vision GTI Concept, producing 105Nm more while maintaining the same power output.
No performance figures were offered, but the VW GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo should be as fast as it looks thanks to the 4Motion all-wheel drive system and the aerodynamics package which includes carbon fibre body kit, a sporty rear diffuser, a massive rear wing, and a centre-mounted dual exhaust system.
The car sits on 20-inch wheels shod with 235/35 front and 275/30 rear tyres and features supercar-style vented disc brakes with a diameter of 381mm up front and 356 mm at the back.
