Sebastian Vettel driving GT5 RedbullX1 prototype at Nürburgring GP Course

Find more GT5 videos on http://gtchannel.com. In a world where modern professional racing is restricted by regulations, the X1 is a machine born from a fantastic "what if" dream of Gran Turismo: "What would the fastest racing car on Earth, free of any and all regulations, look like?" And the only way to experience it is in Gran Turismo 5. Initially the X1 Prototype was a single-seater canopied prototype wing car with covered front wheels. Powered by a 1500ps direct-injection V6 Twin Turbo, on paper the performance would have been spectacular, producing a top speed of 400km/h (248.6mp/h) and a maximum lateral acceleration of 6G. But once Red Bull Racing was brought on board to be a partner, the X1 really took off. Adrian Newey, master aerodynamic engineer and Red Bull Racing's chief technical officer, suggested "Fan Car" technology, a long-held dream of his, be added to the design of the X1 Prototype. A "fan car" is a vehicle having a fan mechanism which forces the air out from underneath the car to reduce air pressure under the car's floor. The resulting suction draws the car to the ground surface and creates a massive amount of downforce. And because it can create downforce regardless of the vehicle's current speed, it dramatically raises it's cornering speed capability even in low speed corners. Thanks to the insight of Mr. Newey, the X1 Prototype design was transformed. A large fan was added to the rear end of the body to implement the Fan Car technology. Plus, Newey provided additional input into the the design of the front and rear wings and rear diffuser, dramatically refining the vehicle's aerodynamics. As a result, the virtual X1 Prototype was able to achieve an astonishing level of performance. Its new top speed was 450km/h (279.6mp/h), with a maximum lateral acceleration reaching up to 8.75G, pushing the vehicle to the very limits of what a normal human body can withstand.

So technically it's the fastest car that was NEVER built?

I've been searching for 2.5 hours and was not able to find a Demonstrate for your statement. So, either you're the only person on the entire planet knows of it OR your statement is incorrect ...

[kelvingan725]

@UrielTheRealOne it has been built, they are just waiting for approvals from tracks for them to test it on

@theantichristmong09

I have bad news for you, that what is built is just a model. It consists of foamed plastic, has no engine, no gearbox and no tires. If you call that "real", then I have a "real" ferrari f40 and f50. Please do not get me wrong, I would find it great if they would really build it (!).

@UrielTheRealOne this car is the fastest car :P it has been built

@ILoveMotorsport It would kill you if you tried to go round a corner at racing speeds.
