The Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo (Gr.1) is a race car produced by Mazda. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7.
This car is an alternate version of the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo, which was adapted to fit the Gr.1 class, where cars with performance similar to that of LMP1 cars are competing. While there are no significant aesthetic differences, its power and aerodynamics were altered in order to balance the car with the other cars in the Gr.1 category.

This car answers the question: 'What kind of design does Mazda need to race in the top category at Le Mans?'. The LM55 name stands for 'Car No. 55 of Le Mans' and is taken from a legendary Mazda racer. I remember putting this car through a full aerodynamic simulation among other tests. We hired engineers whose expertise was in racing car development... And even made a full-scale model, which is now on display at the Mazda Museum. You'll notice my name is listed as the driver. This is because, should it ever compete at Le Mans, I want to be the one to drive it. The hypercar class regulations at Le Mans allow for a lot of freedom in design... So if we were to make a car like this and race it, why, we just might win!
