One of the most stunning cars shown this year, the Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo concept
, was developed purely for the virtual world, as it was commissioned by the creators of the popular Gran Turismo for the recently launched sixth instalment of the popular racing sim. Sadly, this meant a production version of the Vision GT would never be, or at least that’s what we thought.
A company specializing in custom rides has posted an add on luxury retailer James Edition offering a Vision GT for the princely sum of $1.5 million. That company is Florida-based J & S World Wide Holdings, which plans to build the Vision GT around the chassis of a regular Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT.
J & S World Wide will build the stunning body out of carbon fiber, meaning the final version would weigh around 200 pounds less than the SLS AMG GT, whose body is mostly steel and aluminum. To ensure the production Vision GT adheres to the exact design of the concept, the car will be finished in a special chrome paint and its wheels will be a custom set developed by ADV.1."

Any cockpit views or that up to artist interpretation? If they made it available for public viewing I might be game to travel across state.

I think the article says there is no in cockpit view and the manufacturer is leaving that up to/working with the buyer as to what they want?
