Development

Rear view

The concept car, presented at Worthersee Treffen 2014, originated from another prototype, the Vision GTI, born from a competition created for Volkswagen's young designers and wanted by the Wolfsburg style manager, Klaus Bischoff; this was in response to Sony's invitation to build a Volkswagen that would celebrate the first fifteen years of the driving simulator series Gran Turismo.[1]

Technology

The vehicle, as evidenced by the name, was in a roadster configuration, equipped with a chassis formed by two shells in carbon fiber separated by a central element. Based on a modular transverse platform called MQB (Modular Querbaukasten), the GTI Roadster Vision was equipped with a 3.0 V6 engine TSI with double turbocharger with a power of 503 CV with 560 N · m of torque managed by a gearbox DSG to double clutch and 7 reports; this allowed an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with a maximum speed of 310 km/h (190 mph). The traction was of the type all-wheel drive 4Motion, while the tires in size 235/35 at the front and 275/30 at the rear 20" sports rims.[1]

The GTI is featured in the Polyphony Digital games Gran Turismo 6, Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7.[2]
