Saw this on the Nissan Press site. This may just be the concept for Vision Gran Turismo concept for Goodwood...

"Nissan to reveal the next chapter in its passion for performance
LOS ANGELES – On Monday, June 16, Nissan will reveal the next chapter in its story to an audience that has always shared a passion for performance."

I'm ready to see the real version.

You think it could hint heavily at what the next GT-R could look like?

[lne937s]

I think there may be some styling influences for the GT-R (grille, etc.), but I don't see this as the next GT-R.

A GT-R is fundamentally a Grand Touring car with Racing capabilities. It is a car that you don't have to be a midget contortionist to sit in comfortably and get easily in and out of. It is a car that has a back seat and a useable trunk. You can actually see out of it. And it is designed not just to be fast around the track, but to be a car you can be fast in without being a professional driver on a perfect track in perfect weather (unlike a Viper, for example).

The concept teaser seems to be more of an extreme sports car.

I see some exaggerated GTR in the beltline and sides, and certainly in the roofline. But yeah, this looks more "exotic concept" than production preview.

Whoop-de-doo, another futuristic pile of crap that looks like it could fly or something. Thanks Nissan.

Is it just me, or does the burger kind of seem out of place on that thing?

[Bubba1]

It might look ok from a profile, but that front end looks like an angry beaver burping.

[darylzero]

It looks like the Batmobile

So the reveal... reading the last line makes you wonder if some of this will make the real world. Just wish it had bigger windows.

Virtual supercar created to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the legendary Gran Turismo® driving franchise


•NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo hints at the future
•2+2 virtual supercar with advanced aerodynamic body

NASHVILLE. Tenn. – Nissan today lifts the virtual covers off the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, a vision of what a high performance Nissan could look like in the future. It was created through close collaboration with the creators of Gran Turismo®, Polyphony Digital Inc., the legendary PlayStation® driving franchise.

NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo began life as dream project for Nissan designers who were given free rein to create their dream supercar for their own Gran Turismo fantasy garage.

Created by a team of young designers at Nissan Design Europe, in London, England, the model was considered to have so much potential that it has benefited from input from an advanced engineering team based at Nissan Technical Centre in Atsugi, Japan.

As a result, NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo gives hints as to how a supercar of the future might look.

In July, automotive enthusiasts will be able to discover that performance first-hand when it becomes available to download in Gran Turismo®6, just as they did with the NISSAN GT-R and Skylines from earlier episodes of the historic franchise. That performance heritage and commitment to delivering excitement for enthusiasts is why there are Nissan vehicles in the franchise.

But as a specialist in automotive design in three-dimensions, Nissan believes that the real-world is ready for the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo. Watch this space…

I have no idea what it is... but this looks absolutely KILLER to me.

Looks like an aerodynamic and blind spot nightmare.
