Our recent crowning of Nissan->ke62 as the most enthusiast-focused brand continues to hold true as the automaker just released this teaser image of what’s likely to be the Vision Gran Turismo concept->ke169 -- a vehicle that is slated to bridge the gap between the virtual world of Gran Turismo->ke3689 and reality. Nissan says it will “reveal the next chapter in its story” in the press release below, and we can’t think of a better place than the Goodwood Festival of Speed.->ke3879

Backing up that notion is a Tweet from Nissan Vice President Andy Palmer saying, “Think it’s worth coming to Goodwood????” with a link directing followers to a cloth-covered vehicle perched atop a date that reads June 10, 2014. Well, today is that day and Nissan has released the impressive image above accompanied by a press release giving yet another date, this time June 16th.

Also included in the press release is a statement about Nissan revealing the car to “an audience that has always shared our passion for performance.” Perhaps the lucky group of performance-minded folks will include pro gamers from the Nissan GT Academy.

As for the car itself, we could be looking at an early version of the next generation GT-R. Its mean looks and angular design, along with a large rear wing means this car is ready for business. But it looks like we’ll have to wait till the 16th to get the full run-down on the twice-teased car.

Next Generation GT-R

We’ve already been hearing plenty of rumblings about the upcoming Nissan GT-R, including its inclusion of a hybrid powertrain. Back in March, we reported->ke1592 the new GT-R would make roughly 830 horsepower, thanks to a revised version of its twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter V-6 and a new Kinetic Energy Recovery System. Rumors claim that the KERS will add 250 horsepower and the revised V-6 is said to generate some 580 horses by itself.

The question to focus on now is whether the world is ready for such a radical-looking Nissan to be terrorizing Ferraris,->ke252 Lamborghinis,->ke44 Corvettes,->ke1280 and Porsches.->ke1 Check back Monday, June 16 for all the info.
