Red Bull X2010 in Grand Turismo Video Game

If you enjoy car racing game, you must hear GRAND TURISMO. (or called GT).
Grand Turismo 6 will be released later this year, but it already attract a lot of attention.

I am going to introduce a car appeared in Grand Turismo 5-Red Bull X2010.





The designated driver is Sebastian Vettel.
He is the youngest Formula One (F1) world champion now.

This car is also known as a FAN car.
What does it mean?
It means this car uses a fan technology which help the car stick to the ground.
Thus, when the car turn into a corner, the car still remains at high speed!

The X2010 is not the first FAN car. Actually, Fan cars appeared twice in formula one racing.
But they were banned immediately.
The reason is TOO FAST??
I personally think this technique can be applied to modern cars.
For example, when driving a car in mountain with many turns,
this technique might be a very good safety equipment. 

Ok, here are examples about how fast X2010 it is.
Just check the Nurburgring (ring time),  current records show:
No.1 Radical SR8 LM:    6min 48sec.
No. 5 Lexus LFA Nurburgring package: 7min 14sec.
No. 11 Porsche 911 GT2 RS: 7min 24 sec.

Vettel used X2010 simulator and made a Nurburgring GP course record at 1min 4sec.
Super FAST..!

Here are more photos about this car. (from Autoart 1:18 Signature Edition).
The Autoart did excellent job to develop this model car!
