The Tomahawk VGT is a concept car, launched by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for the Vision Gran Turismo video game, that follows hot on the heels of contributions from the likes of Peugeot, Infiniti and a bunch of other automakers.
This is an extreme hypercar that offers performance specs that can only realistically exist in a game. The single-seater car features a hybrid powertrain with a V10 engine and air compression drive, allowing it to pump out a ridiculous 2,600 horsepower.
The Tomahawk VGT isn't just about wild performance specs however; it's a concept car created to be compatible with Vision Gran Turismo's philosophy, which sets it apart from other car-based video games. This car achieves that by "focusing on plausible future technologies that could achieve our vision of extreme performance."
