Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Gran Turismo: Yes, Please
For today’s entry in “Things That We Wish Existed in the Real World and Not Just in Video Games,” we’d like to introduce you to the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Gran Turismo, which has also secured itself a place on our list of “Things That We Wish Existed in the Real World and Not Just in Video Games But Also Wish Had Slightly Shorter and Easier-to-Remember Names.”
The—deep breath—Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Gran Turismo is based upon the Concept XR-PHEV that made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show back in November. The Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV EVO GT is available as part of Update 1.08 for Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation®3, and can either be purchased from the [Vision GT] area within [CARS] section in “My Home,“ or unlocked by completing a lap in the limited-time-only Seasonal Event.

There’s no indication whatsoever that Mitsubishi will make a corporeal rendering of their digital creation, but if we may, we’d ask Mitsubishi to reconsider their stance. Because the world would definitely be better for having the Mitsubishi Concept XR-PHEV Evolution Gran Turismo in it.
