At the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance yesterday, Kazunori Yamauchi awarded this year’s Gran Turismo Trophy to a head-turning 1960 Plymouth GNR Ghia Roadster concept car.
Created by influential car designer Virgil Exner (hence the concept’s name), it was intended to preview the direction of Chrysler’s designs in the 1970′s. It had enough muscle to back up its dramatic, asymmetrical look, producing 250 horsepower from a Valiant’s 225 Slant Six (more details on the car are available here).
