The Fastest Car Never Made Will Be in Gran Turismo 5

submitted by NetRunner

1 decade 3 years 6 months 1 week ago

Polyphony Digital asked the Red Bull Formula 1 team to design a car for them that wasn't limited by sporting regulations of any kind.

The X1 Prototype is the result.

200mph....in 4th.

If F1 cars were like that, it would have a lot more viewers.

But seriously. Someone should try to build this car.

Wait so, the footage at the end wasn't the actual car?

If built then F1 drivers would need to learn how not to black out out on hairpins, and how to pass without peripheral vision and how to recover from the 'funky chicken' due to g-forces. This is a video games only car.

I'd love to see a new "Formula Zero" racing series. The automotive regulations would read:

Vehicle must have 4 wheels.
Vehicle must be moved by torque to said wheels.
Vehicle must be controlled by on-board driver.
Vehicle may be no wider than 2 meters, and no longer than 6 meters.
Vehicle must be able to pass standardized battery of crash & safety tests.

Beyond that, go for broke.

Thing is, I'm not sure it'd be particularly fun to watch, because it'd be (like Enzoblue said) largely a contest of who handles g-forces best, and which team spends the most money on their car.
