The Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo has been revealed for Gran Turismo 6, perhaps hinting at a future Nissan GT-R.

It’s rapidly becoming the rage amongst car makers to turn out futuristic – and fanciful – concept cars bound for Sony’s Playstation.

We’ve recently had the Mercedes AMG Vision Gran Turismo, closely followed by Toyota’s FT-1 Concept and now it’s the turn of Nissan with the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo.

Interestingly, although these Gran Turismo concepts are aimed squarely at the virtual world, there are more than a few hints that they could make production reality in one form or another.

The Mercedes AMG Vision Gran Turismo is rumoured to be a short-run plan of just five cars – at doubtless silly prices – for Mercedes, and the Toyota FT-1 does look like it previews a new Toyota Supra. But maybe both are wishful thinking.

But the same applies to Nissan’s Concept 2020 Vision, a project created by Nissan’s design team in London with input from engineers in Japan, which it’s rumoured could be a clear indication of where a future Nissan GT-R is heading, albeit a generation or two in the future.

Nissan hasn’t given any indication of what would power the Concept 2020 in the real world, but if it is to turn in to a future generation GT-R it would doubtless come with a tweaked version of the ridiculously competent 3.8 litre twin-turbo V6 from the current GT-R.

The Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo will be available to download for Gran Turismo 6 in July 2014.
