Those 'Baby' Honda NSX Patents Were Actually For A Gran Turismo Concept
Remember those patent images that appeared to show a ‘baby’ Honda NSX? The car they depict has now been revealed, and it’s, err, not real.
Yep, a car that matches the images - right down to the F1-style steering wheel - has been outed as another one of those Vision Gran Turismo concepts. To give it its full title, it’s the ‘Honda Sports Vision Gran Turismo’. Colour us disappointed.
It’s been created for the franchise’s newest release, Gran Turismo Sport. Since it’s not the most outlandish of shapes, there is at least hope that Honda might make a full size, real life version, as has been done for past Vision GT concepts. But a production version? We highly doubt it, but if you remember, the first patent drawings we saw of this were a couple of years ago, so who knows - perhaps there were plans beyond just a video game car at some stage.
Is driving the virtual version enough of a consolation for you? Gran Turismo Sport is out on 17 October in North America and 18 October in Europe.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Forza fans be like:
They’re still enjoying their 700 cars(except Toyota).
Well look what happens when you don’t protect your patents. A baby is made
Always use protection, kids.
No glove, no love
Why are there so many gt concepts
Because GT asks companies to design concepts for their games
It’s made for GT’s 15th anniversary.
Why not just make real cars then put those into the game?
It’s not a definite no. Bugatti’s Vision GT Car previewed the chiron and MINI’s previewed the clubman
Sees Baby NSX in title
OMGOMG it’s been confirmed yaaas
Reads “Grand Turismo Concept”
Unsurprising. Honda fell out of love with sports cars at least a decade ago. They outsourced design and production of their flagship “supercar” to the USA FFS. Time to accept that it’s a very different company to what it was 25 years ago. The F1 results are testament to that.
GT: Boom.. You though it wasn’t nice.. But now you like it..
at least, you could drive a prototype in Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo have importance like IAA , SEMA, Tokyo Motor Show. So just wait what happens.
I think, that is intressting way, to see and feel a car insteat of a 1:1 model on a car show or anythink like this.
