What's the news?
The Goodwood Festival of Speed draws in the biggest names in the automotive industry and this year, the Sussex pageant saw the unveiling of a full-sized concept model of the Nissan 2020 Vision Gran Turismo.
The dramatic-looking machine, a possible hint of what the R36 GT-R might look like, was unveiled on Nissan's stand on 26 June and is the result of letting some young designers in the Japanese company have free rein on designing their perfect supercar. It was originally only supposed to be a digital creation seen in Gran Turismo, but the penmanship that went into creating it at Nissan Design Europe, based in London, meant the engineering team in Japan felt a 'real' concept model needed to be created.
Anything else?
Although visitors to the Festival of Speed saw a physical interpretation of the car, the first people to 'drive' it will be Gran Turismo 6 gamers. The 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, which will be available in ten different shades, will be available to download from July.
