FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.,
Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- One of the most exhilarating concepts to come out of
Hyundai's design studios makes a triumphant return today in
Polyphony Digital's hotly anticipated next-generation racing
simulation, Gran Turismo Sport, now on sale for the Playstation
4.
The N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo is Hyundai's entry in GT Sport's
top racing class, Group 1, where it competes against other
manufacturers' Vision Gran Turismo projects and a multitude of
well-known real-world prototype racing cars from different
manufacturers including Aston Martin, Bugatti and McLaren.
"The N 2025 Vision GT is our ambitious take on what we think
prototype racing could look like in the not-too-distant future.
We're thrilled to see it presented anew in one of the most visually
stunning racing simulations ever created," said Chris Chapman, Chief Designer at the Hyundai
Design Center in Irvine, CA. "This
concept is a point of pride for Hyundai on so many fronts. It
effortlessly combines beauty and function as a racing car, and it
boasts a fuel-cell powertrain that is as progressive as the
bodywork wrapped around it. It's exciting to know that players who
drive it in Gran Turismo Sport can now do so in pursuit of a real
FIA Championship that's exclusive to the game."
The N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo is joined by four other Hyundai
race cars, each based on the Genesis Coupe, and each tied to a
specific in-game racing class:
- Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track (N class)
- Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.3 (Group 3 class)
- Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.4 (Group 4 class)
- Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.B Rally Car (Group B class)
