We’ve been talking about this for a while, but today Polyphony Digtial has ‘fully revealed’ the “X1 Prototype”, the Red Bull Racing collaboration. Built on the concept of “what if?”, the X1 is the answer to “what would the fastest racing car on Earth, free of any and all regulations look like?”
“The results were thrilling. X1 is about evolution,” says Adrian Newey, Chief Technical Officer at Red Bull Racing. “Delivering the optimum combination of tested technologies in a single integrated design. This would be the future of racing were we not bound by regulations, but one that is achievable today.”
“Today thanks to PlayStation 3 and Gran Turismo we can test drive the future.”
Can we? Today? Well, it would have been next week, but we’re still waiting on that release date, guys. In the meantime, click the link below to watch the brand new video, which, by all accounts, is utterly fabulous (and there’s a rack of new screenshots too, which are well worth looking at).
Oh, and the specs of that game conquering car? 3 litre, 1483bhp. Zoom.

Surely, Sony and Polyphony Digital must use this as a TV advert for the game! That Red Bull Racing X1 Prototype is the best thing since sliced bread!
After that video, all 360 fanboys must have had their resolve weakened by seeing a millionaire F1 racing driver (Sebastian Vettel) have a huge smile on his face from playing Gran Turismo 5, whilst using a 410km/h car! :D
CLASSIC!!!
