Company Overview
Vision Industries, LLC is an independent, privately held California Limited Liability Company, founded in 1997 by John Misumi. Vision Industries, LLC is an American specialty automotive engineering and design company based in Mar Vista, California, and is the sole manufacturer which engineers, designs, and constructs the Vision SZR, a mid-engine, high performance American sports car.

Company History
Vision Industries, LLC was formed in 1997 and in 1998 completed a white foam and fiberglass non-operational vehicle code named K/2, which was initially constructed for design evaluation purposes. (The name K/2 connotes "peak" performance with respect to one of the world's highest mountains.) The "muscular" design theme of the VISION K/2 is intended to connote power and performance in an American "muscle car" designed for the 21st century. In 1998 the VISION K/2 was exhibited at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and the Greater Los Angeles International Auto Show. The VISION K/2 was the last automobile designed by Tom Kellogg, a respected American automotive designer.

In 2005 the first VISION SZR running prototype was constructed, (painted charcoal gray), which retained the design theme of the original K/2, but differed in the respect that every body panel was modified to incorporate a longer wheelbase, wider greenhouse, in addition to various other modifications. In it's early stages, a 6.0 litre V12 engine was mounted in the VISION SZR.

With further engineering development, the VISION SZR was decommissioned and revisions with respect to the chassis, suspension, and interior commenced. In addition, at this time, the V12 engine was replaced by a Chevrolet 502 Ramjet V8 engine. In 2007, after the incorporation of these improvements, the car was painted PPG metallic pearl orange, (and remains this color today). The updated VISION SZR was first exhibited at the 2007 SEMA Show.

The VISION SZR is engineered, designed, and constructed in the USA, (Greater Los Angeles, California region), with over 90% of the components sourced from highly respected American companies.

The VISION SZR produces up to 750 horsepower from a 500 cubic inch V8 or a 6.1 liter V12. Alternative energy drive systems are currently being evaluated for range, performance, reliability, and overall cost viability.
