Called the LM55, it pulls inspiration from past Mazda models, while adapting to Mazda's current "Kodo" design ethos. Specifically, the LM55 serves as a tribute to the stunning #55 Mazda 787B Group C prototype, which won the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. The LM55 is designed to evoke the same stance and similar front-end as the 787B, blended with an adaption of the current Mazda design language. Mazda gave no word on the engine which powers the LM55, but eagle-eyed viewers may see a Skyactiv badge on the vertical stabilizer, letting us know the LM55 does feature Mazda's Skyactiv weight-saving technology.

The LM55 can be downloaded for free after installing the Holiday Season Update in Gran Turismo 6, and in the meantime, check out the release video of the LM55 below.
