Volkswagen has just unveiled the GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo concept, ahead of its public debut on May 28 at the Woerthersee Festival in Austria.
Designed exclusively for the hugely popular Sony PlayStation videogame, the GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo concept adopts an open-air cabin and uses the Golf GTI Design DNA to create a strong sporting statement with distinctive horizontal graphics.
It rides on 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/35 front and 275/30 rear tires which are efficiently stopped by "supercar-style" vented discs with a diameter of 15.0 inches up front and 14.0 inches at the back.
Motivation is provided by a twin-turbo VR6 TSI 3.0-liter engine that produces 503 hp and 665 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system via a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is programmed to give incredibly fast shifts on the racetrack.
