Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo

The Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car created by the Japanese manufacturer Mazda in 2014 for the racing video game Gran Turismo 6. It belongs to the Vision Gran Turismo programme, which Kazunori Yamauchi began for the fifteenth anniversary of the Gran Turismo series by inviting car makers to imagine their own ultimate sports barchetta for the game. A physical mock-up was shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon in 2016, and the design is based on the Mazda 787B, the car that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991. The LM55 therefore links the video game project to one of the best known racing cars in Mazda history.
