MINI Debuts 395-HP Gran Turismo Concept
MINI is the latest automaker to show off its Vision Gran Turismo concept.
Joining the virtual race track in Gran Turismo 6 is the MINI Clubman Vision Gran Turismo that is powered by a 395-hp engine that propels the concept to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Mated to the engine is a six-speed sequential transmission that directs engine power to the permanent all-wheel drive system. While MINI’s concept isn’t as crazy as what other automakers have developed for the video game, the Clubman Vision Gran Turismo concept still follows the trend of aggressive body work and aerodynamics, race-inspired styling and a variety of options for gamers to tinker with.

At a glance, the Clubman Vision Gran Turismo carries all the hallmark signature MINI styling but the massive 22-inch wheels and flared wheel arches hint that there’s more than meets the eye.
The MINI Clubman Vision Gran Turismo is available in Gran Turismo 6 starting immediately.
“The MINI Clubman Vision Gran Turismo combines all the hallmark MINI design features presented in the sportiest and most exciting style,” said Christopher Weil, Head of MINI Exterior Design. “A MINI like this has never been seen before.”
