Yes, it's yet another major
manufacturer to contribute a car to Gran Turismo's Vision Gran Turismo series of
pie-in-the-sky virtual vehicles — but this one has a real-world twist to it.
The Hyundai N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo is
an 872-horsepower monster, getting its power through four in-wheel motors
connected to a hydrogen fuel cell system. As for the design, Hyundai says it "draws
inspiration from aeronautics and the testing ground called ‘Muroc Dry Lake’
where pilots and astronauts train, risking their lives for the pursuit of space
travel." I'm not seeing any real connection to a dry lake here, but it's
apparently strong enough that Hyundai also refers to this car as the
"Muroc."
Never mind that, though:
this car represents the launch of Hyundai's N brand, a new
division that will focus on high-performance cars — think Nissan's Nismo, BMW's
M, or Cadillac's V. So while you're not going to see the Muroc on the road any
time soon (or ever, actually), you will eventually see N cars driving around. (Still,
the quickest option for trying an N car will undoubtedly be the Muroc download
into Gran Turismo 6.)
If you've ever wanted an
all-out version of the Sonata, now's the time to make your case.
