Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing Team present two visionary super sports concepts Two visions of Design and Craftsmanship Roar into the Miami International Boat Show: • Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo • Cigarette Racing 50' Vision GT Concept Two legendary brands with legendary visions will unite once again at the Miami International Boat Show on February 13, 2014. Cigarette Racing and the Mercedes-Benz high-performance brand AMG join forces for the fourth consecutive year to present futuristic visions, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept car and the Cigarette Racing 50' Vision GT Concept. For the new PlayStation(®)3 racing game Gran Turismo(®) 6, Mercedes-Benz designers developed the ultimate concept of a super sports car - the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo. Extreme proportions, sensual contours and intelligently implemented high technology blend to form a body that visually brings to life the breathtaking performance of the AMG V8 front-mid engine with 577 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft of torque. Realized as a 1:1-scale model, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo celebrated its world premiere on November 19, 2013 at the opening of the new Mercedes-Benz Research & Development Center in Sunnyvale, California. The super sports car with its hallmark Mercedes gullwing doors made its auto show debut in Los Angeles on November 20, 2013 and then took to the virtual racetrack when the new racing game went on sale in December 2013 - as the first of the “Vision Gran Turismo” series of vehicles.
