You might never get to really get behind the wheel of the Concept 2020 Nissan Vision Gran Turismo, but if you're a gamer, getting to take the car for a virtual spin might just be good enough. The concept supercar was released as a download for the Playstation Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo 6, making it a dream come true for game and auto lovers.
Part of the beauty of a concept car is that designers are able to think outside of the box, dreaming up features that technology may or may not have caught up with yet. In a case where a car may only be a showpiece, turning it into a car that you're able to test drive in-game is a great way to give it life in some form or another.
