The Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car developed by Lamborghini Centro Stile and presented in November 2019. Designed under the Vision Gran Turismo project, it embodies a futuristic vision of automotive performance and design.

History

On 24 November 2019 (the day of the 2019 FIA GTC World Finals), Lamborghini revealed the "Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo"—a single-seat performance car, loosely resembling a sports prototype.[1] Despite being unveiled when updates for Gran Turismo Sport were still active (with the last Sport update as of November 2021 being 1.66 in July 2021, which added the second-generation Toyota GR86),[2] the car was only first seen in action in the Gran Turismo 7 release date trailer.[3]

Lego released an official model of the Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo in May 2024.[4]

Design

The design of the Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo reflects characteristic Lamborghini lines, while exploring bold and futuristic ideas. The distinctive central line and hexagonal side windows recall the Lamborghini Marzal of 1968, while the "Y"-shaped light signatures at the front and rear reinterpret an iconic element of the brand.[5][6]

Specifications

The Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo is equipped with the same hybrid powertrain as the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. It combines a 6.5-liter V12 engine with mild hybrid technology based on a supercapacitor, producing up to 819 horsepower.[7]

Reception

Lamborghini designed this concept car to captivate a young audience, especially fans of video games and virtual racing cars. Stefano Domenicali, then CEO of Lamborghini, said that this project reflects the brand's commitment to new generations and technological innovation.[8]
