BMW Vision Gran Turismo

The company famous for building the ultimate driving machines developed the BMW Vision Gran Turismo, a virtual race car, for use in the driving game Gran Turismo 6.
The BMW Vision Gran Turismo follows on from the Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo, which was added to the game in 2013.
The BMW Vision Gran Turismo was inspired by BMW touring cars from the 1970s, and judging by that massive rear wing, the BMW CSL “Batmobile”is was one of the primary influences. Looking at the headlight design and the overall proportions, the basis for the racing concept looks to be the BMW 2-Series Coupe instead of the larger 4-Series. The paint work in traditional BMW M colors is designed to highlight the airflow around the vehicle.

While the BMW Vision Gran Turismo might only exist in a virtual reality, in order to attain the high levels of realism and immersive action the game requires, the designers have made sure to back up the pretty 3D model with properly thought-out engineering underneath. The aerodynamic aids and elements of the bodywork are constructed using carbon fiber to keep weight to a minimum – the car weighs in at just 2,600 lbs (1,180 kgs). While the drivetrain consists of a 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine driving the rear wheels via a six-speed paddle-shift sequential transmission. The engine delivers 549 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm and its peak torque of 501 lb-ft (680 Nm) from just 1,900 rpm.
The BMW Vision Gran Turismo concept is just one of several in-game vehicle to be designed specifically by a major auto manufacturer solely for use by gamers, proving just how seriously car companies are starting to take the gaming industry as a medium for promoting their vehicles and latest ideas.
Personally, I’m still hoping they’ll add this crazy BMWto the game!

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton
