Many Mercedes-Benz fans must be upset the SLS AMG is coming to its end, but after we saw this latest concept from the German car maker, we can only be happy with the things that are yet to come. Powerful, fast and as graceful as a big cat on the hunt – with the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, Mercedes is presenting its visionary concept for a super sports car. Mercedes-Benz designers developed it specifically for the new PlayStation racing game Gran Turismo 6. Extreme proportions, sensual contours and precise graphics blend to form a body that visually confirms the breathtaking performance of 585bhp and 800Nm of torque.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo is celebrating its world premiere at the opening of the new Mercedes-Benz Research & Development Center in Sunnyvale, California and before the end of the year, this super sports car with hallmark Mercedes gullwing doors will take to the virtual racetrack. The sports car proportions that are a typical Mercedes feature have been reinterpreted: the long bonnet has a flowing transition into a compact greenhouse offset to the rear, which takes the form of an aerodynamically efficient water drop to descend slightly at the rear, where it rests on the powerful, stylish rear end with broad shoulder contours. This is possibly the coolest looking concept we have seen from Mercedes-Benz in a long time, and we hope this car – or something like it – makes its way to the production line.
