==Description==
"High performance made possible with a V8 engine and electrical motor. A GT machine packed with the motorsport passion of Asia."
Infiniti is a premium brand that entered the market in 1989. Known for its category defining designs like the original INFINITI G sedan, G Coupe and FX, cars that then and today as INFINITI Q50, Q60 and QX70 embody uncompromised integration of performance engineering and design. Beyond these iconic products is our commitment to the highest expression of engineering excellence, Formula 1!
The INFINITI CONCEPT Vision Gran Turismo is a project that started as an ambitious global competition to “design a pure INFINITI GT car”, and the winning design was born from the inspiration of INFINITI Design Beijing. Part beautiful and part beast, its shape is powerful, sensual, and ambitious; a mix of track machine and the dream of our Chinese designer to create a seductive racing language for INFINITI.
Part artistry and part science, the process of developing the design of INFINITI CONCEPT Vision Gran Turismo started with hand sketching refined in the digital world, refined again by hand sculpting then returned to digital for final refinement. One designer shared that his vision and inspiration was to capture the rise of the young generation, the romantic and sensational Asian creativity, which established itself by constantly breaking new ground. This desire to break new ground includes the dream to take this GT to a real race one day.
Needless to say, this project went beyond a mere study of styling and involved thorough examination of aerodynamic and engine performance. The front mid-ship / trans-axle powertrain is a combination of 4.5L V8 N/A engine and 1 motor. In a low-speed area, the motor delivers overwhelming torque to the ferocious beast, and in a high-speed area, the V8 N/A 
engine delivers immense power with sensual exhaust note as though its top speed is unlimited. The trans-axle layout brings the finely distributed 45:55 front/rear mass balance that fills users with the joy of driving by actively drifting the rear. Young engineers with great driving skills made many laps of virtual tests to refine the dynamic characteristics. As for aerodynamics, the under-floor airflow control, front and back diffusers, and uniquely-shaped rear spoiler enable this car to demonstrate high performance without compromising the impact of the body design.
With this concept study we look forward to countless virtual pilots breaking record after record at every track around the world.
===Brand Central (GT7)===
This concept car was the result of a collaboration between the design team at INFINITI and Gran Turismo. While it has been a very unique look, it clearly exhibits key elements of INFINITI's design language! Featuring a power unit comprising a 4.5L V8 engine and a single motor... It also makes use of hybrid technology usually employed in F1 machines. A front midship transaxle powertrain gives it a 45:55 front-rear weight distribution.

When Yamauchi-san approached us about the Vision Gran Turismo project, we were working on our next-gen Infiniti. This design came from our recently-established Beijing studio. A team of young designers took the initiative and completed the task in no time. While admittedly simple, the design is quite alluring. For example, the floating A Pillar and overall form are very expressive. And because of its improvisational nature, it has a strong sense of design. Of course, this car was built to incorporate the Infiniti's form language. Therefore, it effectively connects to the production cars that came after it.

==Trivia==
*With its introduction in Asphalt 8: Airborne's Holiday Update, released in December 2018, it became the first Vision Gran Turismo car to make a video game appearance outside the Gran Turismo series.
*This is the heaviest Vision Gran Turismo vehicle overall.
*There is a CGI rendering of the car depicted with butterfly doors and a full interior.
**However, the interior is not depicted in the games.
*This car, the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV EVOLUTION Vision Gran Turismo, the Aston Martin DP-100 Vision Gran Turismo (in GT6 only), the Subaru VIZIV GT Vision Gran Turismo, and the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Spyder are the only Vision Gran Turismo cars that can be driven on dirt and/or snow tracks.
