The spectacular Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo is currently on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2014. We headed in for a closer look at the interesting concept.
As the name suggests, the Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo is the latest in a long line of cars specifically created for Gran Turismo 6. It is suitably unlike any Volkswagen Golf ever created and features a speedster design with an aggressively raked wrap around windscreen.
It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine delivering a total of 503 hp and 491 lb-ft of torque. All of this power is sent to the ground via Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system and its seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Completing the outlandish looks are large 20-inch alloy wheels complete with 235/35 tyres at the front and 275/30 tyres at the rear.
It certainly stands out with the aggressive front fascia and aforementioned raked windscreen as well as the in-your-face rear-end incorporating a large wing, rear diffuser and twin centrally exiting exhausts.
