Which automaker created the first Vision Gran Turismo car?

Mercedes-Benz created the first Vision Gran Turismo car, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo.

The virtual concept debuted for Gran Turismo 6 on November 20, 2013, launching a series in which automakers designed futuristic cars specifically for the game. Mercedes-Benz developed the model through its AMG performance division, giving it a long-hooded coupe shape influenced by the 300 SL, SLS AMG and classic racing cars.

The car was not merely a game-only sketch. Mercedes-Benz also presented a full-size design model at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, and several of its styling ideas later influenced the Mercedes-AMG GT. Its fictional specification included a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 producing 430 kW.

A common mix-up is BMW, whose BMW Vision Gran Turismo arrived later, in May 2014. Toyota and Audi also became Vision Gran Turismo participants, but neither created the inaugural entry.
