2015 Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo
Peugeot has released their latest design concept for the Playstation GT6 video game. The specs are very tempting, but keep in mind that we are still a little in fantasy land here with a game design. More optimistically, it could be looked at as a state-of-the-art supercar one or two decades down the road.
A 3.6 liter turbocharged mid-mounted V6 produces 875 hp which drives all 4 wheels. Nothing too unbelievable just yet, until we read the car also weighs only 875 kilograms, or 1929 lbs. This gives us 1 hp per 2.2 lbs in a full size exotic with AWD for a 0-62 mph time of 1.73 seconds. Btw, to emphasize the full size part, the car rides 22" wheels in front, backed up by 23" wheels in the rear. The only body measurement we have is that the car is 41" high.

(from Peugeot Press Release) 0 – 62MPH IN JUST 1.73 SECONDS … WITH THE PEUGEOT VISION GRAN TURISMO!
- PEUGEOT Vision Gran Turismo unveiled for GT6™ video game
- PEUGEOT designers teamed up with PEUGEOT Sport engineers to craft an outstanding high performance endurance racer
- PEUGEOT’s new supercar promises a unique driving experience for GT6TM gamers exclusively to PlayStation®3
PEUGEOT Vision Gran Turismo has today been unveiled for the GT6™ video game, exclusive to PlayStation®3. Designed with a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio (875kg and 875bhp) and the ability to go from 0 to 62mph in just 1.73 seconds, PEUGEOT's new supercar promises a unique driving experience for Gran Turismo 6 (GT6™) gamers.
With more than 15 cars already featured in the Vision Gran Turismo line-up, PEUGEOT has risen to the latest challenge of Kazunori Yamauchi, the man behind the flagship driving game, who tasked automotive manufacturers with designing a unique car commemorating the game's 15th anniversary.
PEUGEOT designers teamed up with PEUGEOT Sport engineers to craft an outstanding supercar that has all the hallmarks of a high-performance endurance racer, brought to life in glorious high definition in GT6™. At first glance, the PEUGEOT Vision Gran Turismo reveals a striking monolithic silhouette, sculpted to sweep aside air resistance, standing just 104cm tall, with the notable absence of nearly any aerodynamic features. The body design alone is enough to effectively stick the car to the road.
The central V6 turbo 3.2-litre engine, just behind the driver, feeds its 875bhp to the ground via a six-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel-drive system, comprising front 22-inch alloys and rear 23-inch counterparts. This, coupled with the lightweight design (tipping the scales at just 875kg) and super-responsive steering, makes this the ideal response to the Gran Turismo challenge. In addition to this, the car benefits from phenomenal acceleration, taking it from 0 to 62mph (0-100kph) in 1.73 seconds, due to its power-to-weight ratio promising one horsepower for every kilo of kerb weight. Deceleration is equally impressive, achieved with four ventilated BREMBO carbon discs (380mm at the front and 337mm at the rear).
Virtual drivers will have the chance to take the PEUGEOT Vision Gran Turismofor a spin in the very near future on no fewer than 40 outstanding tracks with 107 layouts. Available exclusively on the PS3 in six colour variants, the PEUGEOT Vision Gran Turismo will be released as a part of a free update for Gran Turismo 6.
