    It's been more than four years since the first Vision Gran Turismo concept was rolled out but there's still no end in sight. The cars are the result of a challenge put out by the makers of the “Gran Turismo” video game to see which design team could come up with the best-looking grand touring car. The latest comes from Audi, and unlike some of the concepts of the past, which were only based in the virtual world, the Audi will be turned into a real car that will do duty as a race taxi for the Formula E Championship.
