The first ever Mercedes-Benz concept car specifically-designed for a video game has created quite a stir among both car enthusiasts and game fans around the world.
Officially called Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, the gorgeous-looking car can only be driven in the latest game from the Gran Turismo franchise, the recently-released GT6, on Sony PlayStation 3.
As a surprise, the Stuttgart car manufacturer also made a real life 1:1 scale model of the Vision Gran Turismo and guess what? It's actually a life-sized RC car that you can drive using a remote control.
The working scale model recently went for a visit to one of the most famous garages in the world, Jay Leno's, where the TV presenter had a closer look at it and then let Gorden Wagener say a few words about its jaw-dropping design.
Coincidentally, the head of Mercedes-Benz design also let it slip that an SLS AMG successor is in the works and it might even share some common design motifs with the Vision Gran Turismo.
