The fan car project that started as a partnership between Red Bull Racing and Gran Turismo continued at full throttle after the blockbuster release of Gran Turismo 5. Red Bull Racing's Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey and Gran Turismo Producer Kazunori Yamauchi further refined their radical concept to create the Fastest Race Car on Earth, no holds barred.
The result was the X2014 series, announced at the end of 2013 in Gran Turismo 6.
At the pinnacle of the X2014 series is the Fan Car.
The turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 of the X2011 was tuned to achieve a much more tractable power curve. While maximum output decreased from 1479 HP to 1183 HP, overall performance was enhanced thanks to several improvements throughout the car.
Efficiency of the rear axial flow fan was improved, and along with careful refinement of internal air ducts, the downforce achieved with the ground- effect skirt was boosted significantly-and maintained regardless of vehicle speed. To complement the increased downforce, body aerodynamics were streamlined to reduce drag so that the new car is able to reach the same maximum speed without the need for an extremely high-powered engine.
The refinement of the X2014 results in a vastly improved driving experience. It is the birth of the ultimate racecar.
