Continuing the association between Volkswagen and Gran Turismo 6, the latest 'vision' concept car for the PlayStation has been revealed. The GTI Supersport Vision Gran Turismo is a 503hp, 186mph, four-wheel drive Golf GTI created for gamers to enjoy and available to download now.
Exterior
Clearly based on the production Golf, the GTI Supersport features a broader, lower look. The profile bears a family resemblance to the GTI Roadster that was released last year. There is a deep front spoiler, extended sills and a large rear spoiler. Honeycomb mesh fills the front air intake and rear diffuser. Colour options are Reflex Silver, Gran Turismo Red, Lapiz Blue and Oryx White.
Mechanicals
Under the digital bonnet, there's a VR6 TSI engine for the GTI Supersport, with more than 500hp and 650Nm of torque. A seven-speed DSG transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel drive are part of the specification. Quoted performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 3.6 seconds thanks to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.5kg per horsepower.
