BVLGARI Aluminium Vision Gran Turismo

The BVLGARI Aluminium Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car made by Italian jewelry and watch company Bulgari (stylized BVLGARI) as part of the Vision Gran Turismo program.
It was announced on November 27th, 2023, and was revealed during the Nations Cup portion of the 2023 Gran Turismo World Series World Finals weekend on December 3rd (along with a special edition collaboration Bulgari Aluminium × Gran Turismo watch), and was added to Gran Turismo 7 as part of Update 1.42, although only buyers of the collaboration watch were initially able to access the car when the update releases, with its general release on Brand Central as part of Update 1.43.
==Description==
The BVLGARI Aluminium Vision Gran Turismo it's a digital concept car that takes full inspiration by the iconic BVLGARI Aluminium watch from 1998 and shares the same spirit: sporty, smart and essential, yet precise and quality crafted.
The shapes, materials, colors, and the overall design language of the car are directly inspired by the form language and spirit of the Aluminium watch.
The 'barchetta' body style is an archetype of sportiness which expresses dynamic movement, lightness, and performance. The body design is an essential combination of pure and geometrical shapes, which are symbolic of Italian car design tradition of creativity and character, integrating some original references to the glorious era of '60s and '70s concept cars from Italian 'Carrozzeria'. The result is a timeless design which is unique and undeniably Italian in its innovative conceptual spirit and its expression of style and coolness, transcending all the temporary fashions and short-term trends, to affirm itself as a pure expression of BVLGARI design DNA.
