X1 Prototype


RedBull X1 Prototype! It would be cool if they actually made a car like this...





"After pondering what a race car, freed of all regulations, would look like, Polyphony Digital rung up the Red Bull F1 team, and challenged aerodynamicist Adrian Newey to create the ultimate racer."

"Previous reports speculated the X1 design utilized a gas turbine powerplant, but Red Bull and Polyphony Digital have officially denied that fact. Instead, the car calls for a direct-injection, twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, which reportedly is capable of delivering 1483 horsepower at 15,000 rpm and 527 pound-feet of torque at 12,000 rpm"

"Polyphony Digital says the Red Bull X1 can sprint from 0-60 mph in 1.4 seconds, 0-100 mph in 2.8 seconds, and 0-200 mph of 6.1 seconds. A top speed has not been disclosed, but we're told the X1's maximum velocity is north of the 280 mph mark."
