This thing of beauty that’s on your screen is the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo – a virtual Le Mans prototype racer designed for the PlayStation 3’s Gran Turismo 6 video game. It’s not quite as real as the Furai Concept, but wow isn’t it a looker.
Mazda says the LM55 “blends agility and elegance with its dynamic silhouette,” whatever that may mean. The front face is a futuristic iteration of the current KODO design language, with a familiar grille flanked by slim headlights.
Another way of looking at it is as a futuristic interpretation of Mazda’s legendary 787B, which beat the odds (not to mention Porsches, Mercedes-Benzes and Jaguars) to win the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. The LM55 shares the same menacing cab-forward stance.
To the uninitiated, this is the latest addition to the Vision Gran Turismo project, which has given us wild concepts from Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Infiniti and Chevrolet. Don’t you just love the virtual world?

Stuff of dreams. Forza Mazda.
sure looks nice, but those headlights won’t shine far.
It would be even more wonderful if it’s back with new improved Rotary engine or even better, a hybrid of electric motor for low rev range and switch to high rev range with Rotary engine.
wow~~~ damn!
NICE ;)
