"Vision Gran Turismo" Recognised for its Contribution at the Japan Car Design Awards Ceremony

On 23 January (local time), the Japan Car Design Awards ceremony (hosted by Car Styling) was held at “The Gallery Too” in Minato-ku, Tokyo, where “Gran Turismo” received the Golden Marker Special Award in recognition of the contribution made with the “Vision Gran Turismo” project for the following reasons:

“For being an instrument about learning how to drive a car for those who are below the legal driving age and for learning about cars in general”, and “For giving opportunities to car designers around the world while broadening the vision of the market”. Gran Turismo has been working with famous brands worldwide since 2013 and this is another official recognition by the industry professionals.

“Gran Turismo” series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi attended the ceremony and was awarded the Commemorative Trophy. Other production and concept cars were also awarded during the ceremony.
