Aston Martin is preparing to unveil a new concept car with a twist - gamers will be able to drive the new Aston Martin DP-100 in Gran Turismo 6.

DP stands for Design Prototype and this concept car is destined to remain a digital only experience for now; it joins the other digital prototypes created for the popular computer game's 15th anniversary.

Polyphony, the maker of Gran Turismo, is launching an anniversary edition of GT6 with 20 exclusive cars from the likes of Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz.

The Aston Martin DP-100 is bound to join the likes of the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo and Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo.

These two teaser images show snapshots of the DP100, suggesting it is a low-slung, racer-inspired supercar with petrol power mounted amidships.

Aston Martin will unveil the DP100 at the Michelin-sponsored Supercar Paddock at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday 27 June.

Come back on Friday for the full story and proper photos of this digital Aston.

PS3 players will be able to download the Aston Martin DP100 from July 2014.
