The Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo: A Hypercar of the Future
Lamborghini did something that is very unique to this car and in the car world in general. This car is a virtual car made for the Grand Turismo Game. The Lambo V12 Vision GT is actually a virtual car for Gran Turismo Sport. The car was “unveiled” in 2019 ahead of the World Finals of the 2019 FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships which took place in Monte Carlo, Monaco. This virtual single-seater hypercar features a 6.5-liter V12 hybrid engine that delivers a staggering 819 horsepower. The begin is borrowed from the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. Built for the virtual racetrack, the Vision GT embodies Lamborghini’s commitment to innovation, speed, and bold design.
Fun Facts About the Lambo V12 Vision GT:
- Single-Seat Layout: The Vision GT’s cockpit places the driver in the center, resembling the setup of a jet fighter, maximizing control and visibility. It feels very similar to an F1 car as well which helps when you drive it in the game.
- Jet-Inspired Design: Lamborghini incorporated aerodynamic elements inspired by aviation. The dramatic rear wing looks aggressive and the exposed wheels help reduce the cars drag when racing at high speeds.
- Game-to-Reality Transition: Although designed for the virtual world, Lamborghini decided to take the time, and they actually built a full-scale prototype in the real world. They did this to showcase the Vision GT’s potential as a real hypercar.
