- "The ultimate road racer that draws its heritage from the glorious touring cars of the '70s."
- ―In-game catch text for the car, from GT7's car collection
The BMW Vision Gran Turismo is a concept car that appears in Gran Turismo 6 (as part of Update 1.07), Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7. Its styling is based off of a modern interpretation of the Group 5 silhouette racers of the 1970s, likely the 1970s BMW E9 3.0 CS as seen on its modern view of design.

Description[]
- "Inspired by the BMWs that made waves in the touring car championships of the 1970s, this BMW Vision Gran Turismo is sure to remind you of those classic race cars of yesteryear. BMW's own design team was responsible for bringing this creation to life. Under the hood is a powerful turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine. And, as you might expect, this FR model has a perfect 50/50 front/rewar weight distribution. Believe it or not, this road racer weighs a mere 2,601 lb (1,180 kg)!"
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
Following in the tradition of the successful BMW touring 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 fiber.
The paint finish in BMW M colors 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-liter 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.

Trivia[]
The teaser design as shown in GT6 before the car's debut.
- Its design would later influence the F87 generation BMW M2, produced between 2016 to 2020.
- Given the timeline, it is likely that it is based on the M235i Coupe from 2014.
- The originally planned design, as shown in GT6 (and the Gran Turismo website) prior to the car's reveal, have been interpreted by some to resemble the BMW i8 instead.
