Car Index (GT7)[]
- "The Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo offers a glimpse into the future of single-seat super sports cars. Designed by Lamborghini's internal design department, Lamborghini Centro Stile, the car features y-shapes and hexagons all over its sleek body. The drivetrain is a hybrid system, with electric motors and a V-12. The so-called "digital cockpit" has various augmented reality features, providing a new experience for drivers."
- ―In-game description of the car, from GT7's Brand Central
The Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo was developed by the Team of Centro Stile Lamborghini in Sant'Agata Bolognese, led by director of design Mitja Borkert. After going from initial sketches to a 1:3 digital model — approved by Kazunori Yamauchi and Mitja Borkert — a full-size model was developed in 2018 and 2019. The virtual race car adopted a single-seater layout with a cabin designed specifically for the game player. Providing an atmosphere of a fighter jet, the interior featured a seat located in the center a la formula race cars.
The exterior exuded a strong influence of the visionary design language of Marcello Gandini. The car's profile was inspired by the 1970 Bertone Stratos Zero concept car, with the signature upsilon and hexagon graphical elements visible in every detail, while the "Y" shaped headlights hinted of future Lamborghini designs.
The powertrain was derived from the Lamborghini SIAN FKP37, a hybrid system with a mid-mounted V-12 gasoline engine. It produced 819 BHP (818.5 HP), complete with a melodious growl, making this virtual race car one of the prettiest and meanest that the folks from Automobili Lamborghini have ever created.

Trivia[]
The unique driver suit used.
- It shares cues with the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, Lamborghini's first limited production hybrid car. Both cars also share the same combustion engine and hybrid system.
- A non-functioning model was built in real life, and currently residing in the Lamborghini Museum.
- Driving it will make the player's driver avatar wear a unique racing suit, similar to the Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Coupé, its SV variant, the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo, and the Honda Project 2&4 powered by RC213V. The color of the suit depends on the car's purchased color.
- It is treated as a road car in GT7, as it comes with Sports: Soft tires when stock.
- The Military Green paint chip was misspelled as "Hilitary Green" while in the Livery Editor, although it is spelled correctly when the player purchased it. This typo was fixed in version 1.32.
- Out of all the revealed Vision Gran Turismo cars, it would require the longest wait to get featured in a game (taking two years and three and a half months), beating out both the Bugatti and the Hyundai N 2025, which took roughly two years and one month.
