The Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo

Lamborghini is known throughout the automotive industry due to its unique design terminology and dedication to mechanical innovation — a pair of characteristic trademarks that’s led to the creation of some of the world’s most beautiful high-performance vehicles. The company’s most recent project, a futuristic platform dubbed the “Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo,” is equally as polarizing; but it won’t be making its way onto the streets of Sant’Agata Bolognese any time soon.u


The monstrous, but seductive V12 has made its debut just ahead of the World Finals of the 2019 FIA Certified Gran Turismo Championships, which are slated to take place in Monte Carlo, Monaco. In the spring of 2020, fans of the fabled Sony video game series will gain access to the illustrious vehicle. But until then, the company has revealed some details about the concept — including its futuristic single-seat cockpit with virtually-projected driver diagnostics, an 812HP powertrain pulled straight from Lamborghini’s lauded Sián FKP 37, and enhanced aerodynamic properties to keep all of its assumed power at bay. To pay homage to the company’s past, a variety of the Italian automaker’s signature attributes were tapped for inspiration. The 1968 Marzal, for example, has lent the V12 its hexagonal side windows, while Lamborghini’s signature Y-taillight adorns the rear.

Thought the Lamborghini Sián unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show was extreme? Lamborghini’s Vision GT car, simply known as the Lambo V12 and revealed at the Gran Turismo Championship World Finals in Monaco, is a pearl-clutcher’s nightmare. Designed as an uncompromising, forward-looking single-seater track car, it’ll appear in virtual, driveable form in Gran Turismo Sport in Spring next year.

Based on the same hybridised V12 as the Sián, which mates a supercapacitor to the Aventador’s 12 cylinder block, the difference here is that for this design Lamborghini has taken a scalpel to the bodywork that surrounds it for a concept that is as much about what isn’t there as what is.

The Gandini Line profile is still present and correct after this crash diet, but all four corners have been disconnected, leaving a floating, fighter jet inspired monoposto. According to Sant’Agata Bolognese’s calculations the entire thing would weigh a dainty 819 kilos, flirting with the mythical one-to-one power to weight ratio.
