Sony & Polyphony Digitals Gran Turismo 5 vil uden tvivl være en af de store spillere, når november måneds titler ankommer. Alene spillets meget omfattende indhold bør være nok til at sætte gang i mundvandet på bilelskere og de seneste trailers har også imponeret stort. Sony kan i dag fra Tokoya fortælle, at de har samarbejdet med Red Bull Racing om at producere den ultimative racerbil helt uden restriktioner eller grænser. Red Bull Racings Formel 1 kører, Sebastian Vettel, har allerde “prøvekørt” X1 prototypen og slog omgangstiden på Suzuka-banen med ikke mindre end 20 sekunder. Bilen vil du kunne downloade til Gran Turismo 5 efter spillet er ankommet den 3. november. Vi har modtaget fire fordækte screenshots, som du kan finde i vores Gran Turismo 5 galleri.
Tokyo, 17th September 2010 – Sony Computer Entertainment today announced a unique partnership between Gran Turismo® and Red Bull Racing to create a virtual car which will push the boundaries of motorsports. The Gran Turismo development team at Polyphony Digital posed the simple question, ‘If you built the fastest racing car on land, one that throws aside all rules and regulations, what would that car look like, how would it perform and how would it feel to drive?” With the assistance of Red Bull Racing’s technology, Polyphony Digital were able to produce the answer in the form of the “X1 Prototype” which will be playable in Gran Turismo 5.
Red Bull’s aerodynamics expert, Adrian Newey, performed the role of technical advisor on the X1 Prototype project. Newey is renowned in the motorsports world for designing championship winning cars. Throughout the X1 design process by Polyphony, Newey contributed his vast experience, as well as a pure, child-like technical curiosity. As a result, the completed X1 Prototype became an extreme car, having a unique form and mechanism unlike any other racing car in history.
Performing the shakedown test and settings for this Gran Turismo 5 car was the world famous driver Sebastian Vettel. On his first virtual lap, Vettel achieved an unbelievable time on the Suzuka circuit, beating the course record by over 20 seconds.






























De screens er noget hø. Hvorfor må vi ikke se hele bilen? Nederen vi kun har fået de her.
“On his first virtual lap”
Det er vel ikke svaert at lave en bil der er hurtigere end alle andre i et computer spil. De faar med garanti ikke det samme resultat hvis den blev lavet i virkeligheden.
Det er ligesom i et af de første test drive spil, hvor man kunne holde sin skydeknap ind i svingene og så kørte den som var det på skinner.
Uha, Red Bull har altid været lig med extreme!
