Zenshi GTX Vision Gran Turismo
Zenshi is well known for applying emphasis on natural performance onto their vehicles. So when it came to designing a VGT, it would be a no-brainer as to what their vision of a car would be: A hardcore track monster.
Using the current-generation GT as the basis, the GTX’s body is composed almost entirely of carbon fibre, allowing a lot of weight to be shed from the GT body.
While it isn’t exactly as technologically bound as other VGTs present in the auto show, ZMD made sure to use an efficient amount of technology to allow the GTX to be a perfectly capable high-speed track star with its abundance of aerodynamic elements and various other components, such as pushrod suspension, transmission, exhaust system, and the engine. Inside the GTX VGT is an advanced version of the AIGCS, which can tell the driver what is up ahead, giving directions similar to that of a co-driver in a rally.
The engine, which is a 4.0L Twin Turbocharged V8, is similar to the engine used on the Seiryu ZMD, given major altercations. The engine makes a high output of 1000 HP and 848 lb-ft of torque, allowing the car to attack the track with ease. The transmission is a heavily modified version of the GTZ 5.6R’s 7-Speed Manual, designed to withstand a whole lot more abuse, as well as be thrown about easier. This combination results in a monster that can hit 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds, and top off near 400 km/h.
Two GTX VGTs will be presented on the floor: One with bare carbon, the other with a beloved colour, Ramune Blue Mica.
