The Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car developed by Volkswagen in 2014.
Development
The concept car, presented at Worthersee Treffen 2014, originated from another prototype, the Vision GTI, born from a competition created for Volkswagen's young designers and wanted by the Wolfsburg style manager, Klaus Bischoff; this was in response to Sony's invitation to build a Volkswagen that would celebrate the first fifteen years of the driving simulator series Gran Turismo.[1]
Specifications
The concept, as evidenced by the name, features a roadster configuration, and uses a chassis formed by two shells in carbon fiber separated by a central element. Based on a modular transverse platform called MQB (Modular Querbaukasten), the GTI Roadster Vision was equipped with a 3.0 V6 engine TSI with twin-turbochargers, producing 503 hp (375 kW) and 413 lb⋅ft (560 N⋅m) of torque. Power was sent to a 4Motion all-wheel drive system through a 7-speed DSG dual clutch transmission.[2] This allowed for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds, with a maximum speed of 309 km/h (192 mph). The tires are size 235/35 at the front and 275/30 at the rear, with 20 inch wheels.[1]
Media
The GTI is featured in the Polyphony Digital games Gran Turismo 6, Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7.[3]
