So, Gran Turismo 6, the racing game, was just released yesterday. The Model S is included as one of the new cars (the Roadster was in the last game, and is in this game too). There's also a new feature called "Vision Gran Turismo," where automakers design cars for use in the game...or something like that.
Anyhow, the newest Mercedes concept car, the one which was rolled out recently, is the first of the "Vision Gran Turismo" cars in the game. There is also a list of other manufacturers/design houses who have submitted designs. You can see them all here: Vision Gran Turismo - PRODUCTS - gran-turismo.com
Take particular note, if you scroll down, there is an entry for Tesla Motors. If you click on it, you can see this concept sketch:
Now, this is not a car. This is not a future car. It's not a concept car. This is simply a design and nothing more and there's zero reason to think it will ever see the light of day even as a clay model. However, it seems that it will eventually be made into a car for the video game, which is pretty cool. I hadn't noticed anyone else share this on TMC yet, so I thought I would.
