Gallery: Automakers Dream Up Some Seriously Wild Cars for Gran Turismo 6
Sony01Subaru 1
Subaru Viziv: Under this hybrid Scooby's hood is a turbocharged 2-liter, Subaru-style horizontally-opposed boxer engine making 591 horsepower. Three electric motors feed the wheels, and lights over each fender illuminate when each wheel receives torque vectoring.
Sony02Nissan 2020 1
Nissan Concept 2020: At 186 mph, the rear wing raises to produce over 800 pounds of digital downforce and keep the 2020 on the ground. Power comes from a hybrid with a twin-turbo V6 and three electric motors.
Sony03BMW VGT 1
BMW VGT: Clad in the red and blue race color scheme, this Bimmer runs on a 3-liter six cylinder that’ll make 541 horsepower. 50:50 weight distribution and rear wheel-drive will make it easy to lose the tail as needed.
Sony04VW Roadster 1
Volkswagen GTI Roadster: This VW gets 503 hp from a 3-liter twin-turbo VR6 engine paired with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. We like the low-cut windshield for the roadster experience.
Sony05Mitsubishi XR-PHEV 1
Sony06Aston Martin DP 1
Aston Martin DP-100: From the hands of Aston’s design head Marek Reichman, the Design Prototype 100 is a twin-turbocharged mid-engine track beast with a V12 pumping out 800 hp.
Sony07Mercedes-Benz AMG
Mercedes-Benz AMG VGT: This long-hooded grand tourer brings us back to the 300 SL. If that real-life legend had an AMG V8 making 577 hp.
Sony08Chaparral 1
Chevrolet Chaparral 2X: As ridiculous as you'd expect from racing brand of old, the Chaparral 2X is powered by shock wave-producing laser (yes) that give the car a zero-to-60 time of 1.5 seconds.
