Going to get one tomorrow as hit the trade limit of today
got an insanely good deal for one, a 700bhp skyline and a 800bhp lambo murchielago 670 sv for an x1 :) spent about 200,000 on the skyline (found it in used car dealership for about 30,000) and not sure how much on the lambo but it doesn't even hit 1,000,000cr alltogether

I think, if you would ask it nicely, you could get one for free...

I quite like the drive, but only when I have my wheel attached to the ps3, with the DS3 it's just to much of a fight keeping it on the track.
 
What?

The X2010 does exist, I have one in my garage in an awesome Red Bull Livery. Its a shame that GT5 only has it as a clay model in the game. It would certianly destroy anything....


.... I may have my details mixed up. I'll check with my co-Driver, Diego West and confirm later.

People who say it can't be built IRL... It can. They built it IRL. Albeit only a proof of concept, but they built it. I don't remember where I read it, but it was a fairly trustworthy source.

They built a model of it without any working parts.

Well I duped my lambo earlier so I dont really mind. Only loosing the skyline

Remember, the Veyron was beat around the Top Gear Test Track by a 263HP Caterham. Sure it won't beat the Veyron in a drag race, but weight makes a huge difference.

True, when you are speaking about the standard Bugatti Veyron. But the "2010 Bugatti Veyron - Super Sport" beat everything on the Top Gear Test Track. Coincidentally I just saw that episode last night. The fastest car ever on their board - 2010 Bugatti Veyron - Super Sport. :)

Do you guys think we need a general X2010 thread?

A lot of topics nowadays are centered around that car.

I think we're reaching the stage where a lot of people will just turn lv 30. I haven't grinded at all, done all but one of the A-spec races and one enduro, and the seasonal XP has just brought me to lv30. I would imagine there's a lot of people in the same boat.

As mentioned before they only built a model, but nevertheless the whole point of the X2010 is that it could be built

How do we know it could be built? There's no design (would probably be a 100 page document), no plan of manufacture, etc.
 
I may have been scammed for that x1, I gave the skyline while he was offline, I come back online to see if he has given the x1 and i'm not on his friends list -.- I have sent him another friend request and will give him until tonight to trade it to me, if nothing happens I'll post his PSN to save y'all

PSN: F1_DRAGON_USA I'll give You one if you got ripped off.

Ok, I'm seeing a lot of misunderstanding about G's. The human body can withstand a lot more lateral G's than vertical (which can cause "blackout" lack of blood to the brain) and inverted (which can cause a red out, where theirs too much blood in the brain). Typical fighter pilots (depending on type of jet) can handle sustained +7g's. This is different in a car, it's lateral and the blood is moving from side to side and not down to your feet or to the head. Therefore the G-factor would not be an issue to driving this beast if it were real.

Because the chassis designer from Red Bull (and others) actually designed it all as if it would be made. It's built around the laws of physics and existing technology.
It's not like the "cars" in wipeout or something that are just fast as all get out because the game designer set all the speed sliders to 10 and made them hover.

The numbers I was quoting were specifically for lateral Gs.

Good to know 👍

I wonder how quickly fatigue would become a factor with these forces?

Sorry but absolutely disagree with you. Physics major here, and although I don't have any medical background, there is zero chance of a human being, conditioned or otherwise, surviving a 'gold' lap around the nurburgring GP. First of all we are talking about a very large number of G's here....more so than an jet pilot would come in contact with. Going 200 mph and turning and breaking on a dime would put it in the 12-20 G range. Every single bump in the road would be like getting hit by a Buick. I really don't even want to go on with this explaination. As far as the realism of the car, I believe it to be just about realistic theoretically. With a large amount of money I respect Adrian Newey enough to trust his design. Now I say theorically because no one will ever build a car of this magnitude because it isn't possible to sustain these types of G's! Short 90 degree corners going 180 mph just isn't possible to handle....I find it ludicris that someone, after watching the X1 challenge replays, would think it possible for a human to pilot this.

I think that would be the problem. After a few laps I'd expect the driver to be pretty sore and tired. Keeping your neck straight with a heavy helmet on at those speeds/g loads has got to be rough.

The game says it can pull 8g. This is less than a modern fighter plane.
Physics major or not, I'll trust the in game information on their own made up car over your estimates.

It exists, but it will never perform like it does in the game. Im not sure you can actually get a car to take tight turns at the speed that thing does, and even if you could, I dont know if the human body can take that.

Sure you take turns real fast in a fighter jet, but that is spead out of a much larger space.
 
In the end, I think it's the slow reactions on part of the driver when going at those ridiculous speeds he's going at.

I'm really not convinced they designed it as if it would be made. If that were the case, Newey would have needed to take a year out of work. You can't say it's been designed for manufacture when there is essentially no design.

If there is even a concept design (e.g a schematic of all major components) then I'd love to see it.

The Ariel Atom 500 beats the Veyron SS by a monumental difference of 1.7 seconds. The Ariel Atom 500 costs about 6% of what the Veyron SS does.

I think I read that when filming the X1 video way back when, Vettel hopped on it for the first time, did an out-lap and then set three consecutive identical times (to the second). I don't think F1 drivers would have a problem controlling the X1 - lateral G survivability question notwithstanding.

However F1 drivers currently pull 5G around Interlagos, Turkey turn 8 etc for many seconds without any problems.
 
The Funniest conversation I've heard online in GT5 was when some very intelligent people were conversing about the X2010. They were talking about how "they actually made one in real life." And how the first time anyone drove it the turbo blew up and it crashed, killing the driver. I was laughing so hard. If they build it functionally, i doubt it would be 1500hp
