The Vision Gran Turismo program (commonly abbreviated Vision GT or VGT) is a simulator program used by many car manufacturers, such as Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Bugatti. [1][2] These cars appeared originally in the Gran Turismo 6, and later made an appearance in each subsequent Gran Turismo installment (Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7), all developed by Polyphony Digital. For the most part, they apply present-day technology and materials, with a handful of notable exceptions that utilize novel propulsion and aerodynamic technologies. Their appearance as free update content has been staggered since the launch of GT6 in 2013, with each one being available for download upon release.
The cars have been met with critical acclaim for their novel approach to aesthetics and performance. Real-life full-size models have been shown at motor shows in Japan, Canada,[3] Germany, England, the US and Switzerland.
