Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo

The Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo is a Vision Gran Turismo concept car made by Toyota. It appears in Gran Turismo 6 (as part of Update 1.12), Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7. It is a racing version of the Toyota FT-1, with features and designs required for pure racing competition.

==Description==
Following the excitement of the FT-1 release in the Gran Turismo 6 game, the CALTY design team from Toyota’s North American Design branch has taken their dream one step further in creating the ultimate racecar, the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo.
The designers’ original intention in designing the FT-1 was to unabashedly appeal to the die hard car enthusiasts. In the same way, the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo is designed for die-hard Gran Turismo fans. The designers focused on keeping the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo authentic for the virtual racetracks of the game, to maximize their driving pleasure.
Because the bones and architecture of the FT-1 already lend itself to cooling and down force through “function-sculpting,” the vision version just needed to be enhanced as a pure racing car. The designers closely studied racetracks and racecars, and applied their research into the styling. A deep sense of rawness is evident in the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo, due to its purely function-driven design aesthetics. The fenders and tires are wider for extreme grip on the track. The enlarged air intakes provide increased cooling, and a larger rear wing and additional front canards have been added for even more down force. The rear diffuser has been enlarged with multiple vertical fins, and is moved further back for cleaner airflow.
The FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo looks and feels the way it performs, so the driver can speed through the racetracks with the same sensation and thrill of real racing.
===Brand Central (GT7)===
The Toyota FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo is a car that redefines the future of racing! It's design is based on the FT-1, which was developed in the pursuit of functional beauty. You could say that this model takes that concept to an entirely new level. The large spoilers at the front and rear were installed after closely studying their aerodynamic effect on the car. It's clear no compromises were made on its styling, either!

==Trivia==
*In Gran Turismo 6, if the player zooms near the window in photo mode, one can notice that it reuses the interior of the road-going FT-1. This may have been the reason why the interior is blacked out when viewed from the cockpit view.
**If the zoom-in is done in Photo Travel, the course radar on the cockpit displays the track map of Kart Space, a track only for racing karts.
**Oddly enough, the interior of the road-going FT-1 was reused once again in GT Sport and GT7. Unlike GT6, the interior of this car is not blacked out when viewed from the cockpit view, likely due to its Gr.3 version having a proper interior. This makes it one of the seven PS3-era Vision GT cars to receive an interior retroactively, the others being Nissan CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo, the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo, and the three variants of the SRT Tomahawk, as well as the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo in GT7's 1.54 update.
*Its sound in Sport and 7 may hint to it using a similar 2.0 liter turbocharged inline-4 engine to a Super GT car, only with a hybrid KERS system (which may explain the hybrid energy gauge, as well as it being tagged as a hybrid car in GT7). Its horsepower may also suggest otherwise, as it is nearly similar.
