Alpine Vision Gran Turismo

The Alpine Vision Gran Turismo was a concept sports car designed for the Gran Turismo 6 video game, built as part of the Vision Gran Turismo project in which makers imagined cars for the game. The work began in July 2013, when 15 staff from Polyphony Digital visited the design studio of the French maker Alpine, and its design drew on past Alpine models and concepts. It is a single-seater with right-hand drive, a very futuristic body, LED headlights and taillights and a carbon fibre monocoque. The specification sets a 4.5-litre V8 delivering 450 hp at 6,500 rpm and 580 Nm of torque, a seven-speed sequential gearbox driving the rear wheels, a weight of 900 kg with a 47/53 front to rear distribution and a proposed top speed of 320 km/h. Alpine showed a full-scale model at the Festival Automobile International in Paris in January 2015, where its chief executive Bernard Ollivier described it as standing at the crossroads of the past, present and future.
