I was fortunate enough to spend acouple weeks in Salzburg a few years ago and made a visit to the RedBull Hanger, very impressive. Anyways, if i do this correctly you can see my photo. Way cool place.

I think so. It would seriously be amazing, if it could do as stated on the image.
 
Dude, that's simply amazing :D Have any more pic's ??

But I also think that indeed that's just a body with wheels :(
 
I would love to see it move under it's own steam . Obviously not at those stated figures, but at a reasonable pace around a track.
 
Nice Pics. 👍

This was posted in the 'DYSAGT' thread a while back. I would love to see that model.
 
It doesn't exist (my theory) I think it would be written to some magazines if it would exist. And, try to look for some video of x2010 IRL and I bet you aren't gonna find one.

It doesn't exist as a real car IRL. The G-Force that car produces would tear your head off.

The car in the picture is a shell/model.

The G forces aren't too much. Humans can handle up to 17 lateral Gs before passing out. F1 cars I believe can hit 6-7ish? So 8.25 isn't too much more.

About David Purley:

'He returned to Formula One in 1977 with his own LEC chassis designed by Mike Pilbeam and run by Mike Earle. It was this car in which he suffered serious injuries in an accident during pre-qualifying for that year's British Grand Prix. He survived an estimated 179.8 g when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to 0 in a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.[3] For many years, this was thought to be the highest g-force ever survived by a human being.[3] He suffered multiple fractures to his legs, pelvis and ribs.'

I'm saying before passing out.

Ok, cheers for clearing that up. :cheers:
I just assumed the G-Forces would be way too high.
 
Only a turbocharged V6? Not sure how I feel about that....I mean F1 is already planned to head that same way for next year as I have read.

Yeah, more cylinders basically means more weight, but they can work around that.

Someone shed some light on this kind of stuff, because I feel like I may be a bit uninformed thinking that such low cylinders in a race car is wussy crap.
 
JK83, how did you post my pics?
I do have a few more of the inside. Shots of some of the redbull planes, etc.

The place is just like the tour that's offered at the main screen on GT5.

Jet fighter nowadays can pull 9G's, and pilots can handle it, so I don't see why 8+Gs would harm the driver, a fit and healthy driver.

Just imagine trying to do the hick maneuver while running a lap around Monza. Umm.... Yeaaaa...... Lol
 
I reckon it would cost about 1 billion US$ to float that project. All new tire compound technology would have to be created

But it is all possible

as for the driver handling the G's;

A: G-suits do exist
B: I doubt a driver would push the car to the limits in which it is pushed in GT5

also. New tracks would have to be constructed around this car's ability. I.E no walls anywhere
 
For demonstration/commercial proposes this could've been build with a decent engine without the jet fan and been driven around real race tracks? I'd imagine the risk of building the car like the concept was meant to be would've been a too high risk, imagine a world class driver crashing (and possibly dying) during a demonstration drive in it...
I'm speaking in the past tense though, as this would've happened somewhere around GT5's release when it would have made sense to be used promotional.

Maybe we'll see a X2014 promoting GT6? :)

If they put a smaller engine in it (400-odd horses) do you think it would still be lethal? They could do that to see how the form itself preformed.
 
Very nice, I never knew a chassis was produced! I remember the X2010 was one of the cars that made me buy GT5 in the first place when I had not yet owned the previous 4 games.
 
I didn't mean that human can't handle 8g. But, try to make that kind of G-force. For example corvette Z06 can produce about 2g (with extra soft tires) and that is amazing feel! I love it. But if you'd try to handle two hours in 8G, you'd be in bad condition (like F1 championships) sorry for my bad English but you get the point?
