a facelift doesn't fix fugly for me :p

Just when I thought Nissans couldn't get any uglier... all of them just look like different versions of the Juke to me now

maybe it will look better in next week's official unveiled pics.

Cant believe they could make a GTR even bigger!

That front end is :barf:..

It reminds me of one of my kid's hot wheel cars.

Nissan Vision Gran Turismo leaks out ahead of today's reveal

Could hint at next-gen GT-R's styling

An official image of the Nissan Vision Gran Turismo has surfaced the web prior to a full reveal set for later today.

Nissan has created its own virtual car for Gran Turismo 6 and it's certainly on par with offerings from Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mitsubishi and Volkswagen. Possibly hinting at the next-gen GT-R's design, the Nissan Vision Gran Turismo looks like a bona fide Batmobile. The angular design is worthy of a Lexus badge and at the back there's a massive rear diffuser together with circular taillights.

That huge carbon fiber rear wing probably ruins rear visibility but it doesn't really matter since this is only a concept for a video game. Conventional mirrors were replaced by camera and on the sides we notice the exhaust pipes as well as large alloy wheels and the absence of a door handle.

An official reveal will occur in the next few hours so check back for further details and more pics.

Could preview the next-generation GT-R

Following numerous leaks and teasers, Nissan has unveiled their Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo.

Described as a "vision of what a high performance Nissan could look like in the future," the concept is a 2+2 supercar that is heavily influenced by the GT-R.

Starting up front, the model has been equipped with a "V-motion" front fascia which is flanked by slender LED headlights. The car also has a ventilated hood, a carbon fiber front splitter and circular taillights. Other notable highlights include an aggressive rear diffuser and a carbon fiber rear wing.

The concept was developed by a team of young designers at Nissan Design Europe and they received input from an advanced engineering team at the Nissan Technical Center in Atsugi, Japan.

Nissan declined to confirm rumors that the concept previews the next-generation GT-R but they said the model "hints as to how a supercar of the future might look."

The Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo will be available in Gran Turismo 6 in July and the company said the "real-world is ready for the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo. Watch this space…"

Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo Revealed, Likely Hints At R36 GT-R

Quote:

Nissan has revealed its latest vehicle destined to join the pantheon of 148 different Nissans to have appeared in the Gran Turismo video game series over the years. The popular racing sim turned 15 last year and to celebrate the anniversary its creator Kazunori Yamauchi asked design studios from all across the globe to come up with a concept using the theme “Vision Gran Turismo,” and among them was Nissan Design Europe.

The concept penned by the men and women at Nissan Design Europe is the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, and like other Vision Gran Turismo concepts, such as those from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Volkswagen, it will be available to download in Gran Turismo 6 next month.

But is the concept more than just a fantasy of Nissan’s designers? According to the automaker, the design of the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo was considered to have so much potential it benefited from input from an advanced engineering team based at Nissan’s technical center in Atsugi, Japan. As a result, Nissan has confirmed, the concept gives hints as to how a performance car of the future might look. Considering all the familiar design cues, that performance car of the future is likely to be the next-generation GT-R, the R36 model tipped to be introduced for the 2016 model year.

Few automakers are linked as intimately with the Gran Turismo series as Nissan, and no car more so than the GT-R—years before the GT-R came to the U.S., players became acquainted with it through the game, producing a ready-made fan base when the car finally arrived in Stateside showrooms in 2008—so it’s entirely possible that Nissan will use the video game to give us our first inkling of a new GT-R.

It should also not come as a surprise that the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo sports some elements of a Le Mans prototype. Nissan has said that the development of its upcoming LMP1 racer and next-generation GT-R is closely linked, so it’s likely there will be some styling elements shared between the two.

Nissan has lifted the red sheet off their mysterious Gran Turismo car, and it looks like what you get when you cross a GT-R with a Koenigsegg. This is the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, and I think it looks pretty badass.

We saw it from the back last night, and now we have the rest of it. The concept clearly has some styling elements derived from the current GT-R, especially in the the hood, headlamps and the shape of the greenhouse. But the rest of it takes Nissan's giant slayer to the hypercar level.

Like the other Vision Gran Turismo cars before it, this one will be available for download in Gran Turismo 6 come July. But it seems to be more than just a video game car: Nissan says the Concept 2020 is "a vision of what a high performance Nissan could look like in the future."

And with the next, probably hybrid GT-R currently in the works, this could give us an idea of what to expect. I'm totally okay with that. Who else is okay with that?
