HYUNDAI N 2025 VISION GT CONCEPT RETURNS IN GRAN TURISMO SPORT
Fuel-cell Racer Joins Exciting Roster of Unique Cars in PS4’s Iconic Racing Sim
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 17, 2017 – One of the most exhilarating concepts to come out of Hyundai’s design studios makes a triumphant return today in Polyphony Digital’s hotly anticipated next-generation racing simulation, Gran Turismo Sport, now on sale for the Playstation 4. The N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo is Hyundai’s entry in GT Sport’s top racing class, Group 1, where it competes against other manufacturers’ Vision Gran Turismo projects and a multitude of well-known real-world prototype racing cars from different manufacturers including Aston Martin, Bugatti and McLaren. “The N 2025 Vision GT is our ambitious take on what we think prototype racing could look like in the not-too-distant future. We’re thrilled to see it presented anew in one of the most visually stunning racing simulations ever created,” said Chris Chapman, Chief Designer at the Hyundai Design Center in Irvine, CA. “This concept is a point of pride for Hyundai on so many fronts. It effortlessly combines beauty and function as a racing car, and it boasts a fuel-cell powertrain that is as progressive as the bodywork wrapped around it. It’s exciting to know that players who drive it in Gran Turismo Sport can now do so in pursuit of a real FIA Championship that’s exclusive to the game.” The N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo is joined by four other Hyundai race cars, each based on the Genesis Coupe, and each tied to a specific in-game racing class: • Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track (N class) • Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.3 (Group 3 class) • Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.4 (Group 4 class)
• Hyundai Genesis Coupe Gr.B Rally Car (Group B class)
