" tag comes up in the car dealerships without a new car being present. A bug in which tire wear and handling were affected after a pit stop seems to be corrected.

Smoke, snow, dust, water spray etc. much improved and no longer pixellated. This reverses a previous update which seemed to induce pixellation in these effects in favour of improved framerates.



Bug is gone where races didn't count as wins when doing the Vettel races.

Fixed a bug where you couldn't hear the Subaru BRZ (and other cars) engine sound in chase cam.

Overall best lap time is now displayed during a race as opposed to just in practice.

Fixed the bug with the Arta Gariya base model and Elise 111R Race Car where painting the wheels didn't actually change the colour. This bug persists with the Dodge Challenger R/T Race Car '70

cars of the 1970s, the BMW design team has created an uncompromising road racer for the modern era.

Crisp proportions and a dynamic silhouette give the BMW Vision Gran Turismo the appearance of speed, even standing still. Front and rear spoilers ensure optimum down-force, while all air conduction elements reduce drag and lower the vehicle’s total weight through the use of carbon fibre.

The paint finish in BMW M colours traces the flow of the airstream, recalling BMW Motorsports successes.

The technology in the BMW Vision Gran Turismo is just as impressive as its uncompromising design. A powerful three-litre six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology delivers a maximum power of 404 kW/541 BHP between 6,200 rpm and 7,300 rpm. Its peak torque of 680 Nm/69 kgfm is developed at just 1,900 rpm. A sequential six-speed transmission, operated by gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, distributes engine power to the driven rear axle.

The outstanding performance characteristics of the BMW Vision Gran Turismo, which weighs only 1,180 kilograms, include perfect 50:50 axle load distribution. Click to expand...
