Red Bull Project X2010 prototype - the construction

Red Bull has released a new video that shows how the X2010 (aka X1 prototype) was transformed from a Gran Turismo 5 fixture into a full-scale model.
Built by Industrial Design Consultancy, the real life X2010 features individually milled sections and a design created by Red Bull's Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.
While the mock up doesn't have a powertrain, the virtual X2010 has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 that produces 1500 PS (1103 kW / 1479 hp) and 714 Nm (527 lb-ft) of torque. This immense power in combination with a fan that creates a suction effect with immense downforce allows the futuristic car to accelerate from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 1.4 seconds, 0-200 mph (322 km/h) in 6.1 seconds, and onto a top speed of 280 mph (450 km/h). Lateral acceleration can reach 8.75G - at the very limit of what the human body can withstand.

[@redfurylanden4527]

This car is an absolute marvel. The fan technology paired up with Newey aerodynamics have created a monster! 615kg - 1450 bhp :)) This also proves that a proper v6 turbo can sound great too! But thats a 3000cc 15k rpm.... Of course an average of 6g on track is prohibitive, the smallest mistake and you die no matter how safe the track is. If the top G doesn't kill you first.. I prefer the looks of this car compared to F1s, compared to ANY car really. The most fascinating thing is this car creates huge amounts of grip even in slow corners because of the Fan tech

[@Kommando786]

wow, i didn't know that they actually built it! Im much more impressed now as I thought it was just purely virtual, in which case they could just "say" it can go at 600 kph or something and then it would.

[@michaelmeier9085]

Its just the chassis without proper tech

This is the F1 without Bernie Ecclestone.

[@mateagoston7113]

+HMHD Lol, this is far from death and it's way not too fast.

[@mateagoston7113]

***** Maybe I don't have to build one if I ask you what do you mean under "too fast" and I will explain it.

[@mateagoston7113]

***** 8.25 G is the max cornering speed of it. Red Bull Air Racers often has 12 G. Drivers wouldn't able to push it as hard as a current F1, but they could get used to it.

[@2008calander]

Just the most beautiful car in the world. Those carbon fiber upper and lower control arms are just amazing to look at as well. Thats gonna be in the history books for sure.

[@dazleeders]

a few laps in an actual working one would be possible but the wear on your neck would cause you to black out

[@miguelpereira1262]

Not really,its all about practice,at least is what jet pilots say...they can reach 9gs.

There could be proper suits to drive it.

Yes!!! it has to be built into a full race series now!

[@dylanparker-stephenson5533]

I hate to break it to you...

[@ReaperStrain006]

I'm not a betting man, but if this car was introduced into the F1 world, the sport would gain an entire new legion of fans. Along with adventurous leaps and bounds in science, technology, and engineering in order for man (drivers) to tame these beasts.

[@kumpel1531]

...its easy to drive...uhhmm, I dont think so.

[@lozy497]

if you try to go as fast as possible no but thanks to it's mechanical grip and huge aero downforce then it's not that hard to lose control

[@mewtwo.150]

Actually it is easy to drive, you just have to get used to the speed

[@xaviercarter8675]

I can't believe they actually built this car

haha mark webber's reaction is just like wtf is this insanity

[@legendofwagen1016]

An f1 car and a LeMans prototype had a child. They had this.

[@KeiichiRX7]

@gp75motorsports No, Turnbull is right, the throttle readout is indicating TCS intervention. However, there's not a single F1 driver on the cricuit that doesn't use TCS, for various reasons.

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

Finally something that can stop Mercedes domination

[@symustafa1996]

@DJGTFO What are you, a aerodynamics expert? There are cars with a fan engine before. The air sucked underneath wouldn't increase or decrease, it would stay the same the whole time. So you can actually go around corners at faster speeds.

[@TheTaco11223]

Now that they've built a scale model, they should build an engine, and fully realize this car's potential in the real world, sure, it would take fighter pilot training to be able to withstand the g-forces, but if there was a sanctioned race series for x cars like this one, it would be awesome

[@CallOfDutyJJ]

@Niyologist read the description its says that its made to go to the highest amount of G's a Human can endure so it would be possible to drive just you wouldd need to train for it.

[@arthuriscool1994]

is it like...drivable I mean its probably not like the game but is it drivable at all? because if its not why isn't it? I mean you don't have to have a million hp or anything just something so its drivable can you imagine seeing this as a kid in a parade?

[@PragmaticAntithesis]

Too much cornerspeed results in the driver suffering from fatal acceleration pulling all of their blood out of the brain.

@ what is the name of the first music on the begging of the video?

[@GTACIP]

no, the g-forces would be crazy for a car, imagine going round a sharp corner at 200mph

[@steveneppler5301]

De tune it slightly. Remove that fan from the rear and you might have something that could race in the "real world". I'd love to see Red Bull build a working prototype of this and run it up the hill at Goodwood...

[@superswede97]

Or enter LeMans

[@dghdh97]

Why should they remove the fan? Do you think that it is fake? It was actually used on a F1 car 1978. It was banned, beacuse it was too good. Look it up on google or something! "F1 car 1978"

[@-GA-MancsFinest]

raskemenn4444 ,it was very unsafe too ,people didnt like the fact the fan was like a blender on the chapparal 2j,depends where and at what angle the fan is i guess,but large spinning blades attacted to a car are a no no

[@dghdh97]

-GA- Mancsfinest As long as it`s at the rear end of the car and no one overtakes it should be fine. Relax XD No, but I understand the problem. As long as they make the car in some way I won`t complain ;)

raskemenn4444 ,sounds like exciting racing,lol 8-0

[@snailzgt5]

@Oockeshoek From '83 to '89, Honda produced 1.5L V6 twin turbo engines for Formula 1. The RA168E, the last of the breed, produced over 1000ps@12500rpm during qualifying and detuned to 700 during race. The X2010 uses an engine with double displacement of 3L with twin turbo, easily producing over 1500ps @ 15000rpm. Modern F1 engine outputs are nerfed by the FIA. X2010 has a modest power output to provide power while still being relatively reliable. It can be stronger, the technology is there

[@TheYoungSuccess]

I hope red bull put this into production at some point

[@superhippy8619]

Omg if that car is not the future of F1 racing I will DIE..

[@LancerloverLL]

they should build it with everything (enginge etc.) and then drive it with a remote control.

[@janaekuz]

@fizzer82 thanks for the back-up... it was actually an oblique hit in my case, and let me tell you, 3inch seat-belt sure do stretch (and leave bruises!!!) when you hit like that... NOT something I would like to repeat!

[@sanander]

@kayu38 The car is "under constrution", they've only made models of it, its not actually made or working as they want it to be. In other words its not as fast as they want it to be... :)

[@AnubisDark]

The dude have a lot of pressure, horde of players want him to win so we can download this new car for GT5 !

[@DcEvoIX]

@Powertampa it's 8 lateral g which is borderline for the human body

[@mustardjunkie]

@Powertampa Na, a trained young man can do 11 horizontal G for 60 seconds and be just fine although passed out.. US air force used to do that out in area 51 with rocket sleds using horizontal Gs. One guy did over 50 Gs for several seconds. The hard part about this car would be staying alert while being knocked around and pulled about so much. I would think the winner in this type of car would be a real athlete.

[@stormcrow724]

@Powertampa It's survivable, just not for a very long time. Fighter pilots and top fuel dragster drivers hit those kinds of numbers but not for extended periods of time. The blood drains from the brain and almost literally suffocates. Pressure suits and techniques exist to combat extreme g's but it's not practical to do over the course of the 2 hours of an f1 race.

[@bigplopy]

@mrmadd001 There is a fan underneath the car witch sucks the air out from underneath the car. The result is a high amount of downforce produced at a stand still.

[@NightMareql]

the song is dirty car (remix) from leiana : )

[@dudley150]

@DJGTFO that why it's call a "fan car" so it ca go that fast in corners. there only have been to cars like that in history and they both were banned after the first race.

[@buddingvideos]

whats that pink stuff they used to model the car?

[@fizzer82]

@SurvivorFirst Actually the human body can easily survive dozens of instantaneous Gs. Race car crashes are often in the 15-50 range or more. Here's a quote regarding a NASCAR crash: "If during the impact, you’re 25 to 30 Gs or under, we consider that to be a moderately low impact,” said Sicking, who had not yet received any information on Gordon’s hit from NASCAR when we talked earlier this week. "If you’re anywhere above 30, that’s a hard hit.” The highest survived decel was ~180Gs. google it

[@kaisercity7]

@Powertampa The stig has an x2010 and goes to the park in it to feed the ducks

[@him89]

@MrAnnihilated it has 1500hp how much more do you want?

[@marcusdu1518]

@Tastyigor very hight octane petrol and I think that`s possible because in 2013, formula 1 will be limited to 1.6 litter and they will choke out 750 hp

[@eskimodude812]

@pcatp well they could use one of those special suits that can resist that much speed, I think they used it for that one car that went 700 miles per hour

[@Falador321]

so its a front engine front wheel drive car?

[@optimusboy1]

@Oockeshoek its f1 they dont use regular production engines like most ppl

[@yomama629]

@tohtorigyro I just thougt you couldn't, since the 800 bhp F1's had V10's and the Veyron has 16 cylinders

[@mattman937]

@Powertampa a fighter jet pilot in a pressurized suit can withstand 9Gs for a limited amount of time.

[@janaekuz]

@Powertampa With proper seats and a g-suit on legs and torso, a driver would be fine... well, as long as they learned to huff while cornering... well, they'd be fine for a few turns... then, they'd likely lose it from pure exhaustion!

[@jcadlols]

@Powertampa Vettel is a prat... so let him have it. But fighter pilots can take in excess of 12G, for short spaces of time. This is vertical G forces but 9G in a horizontal direction wouldn't disembowel you.

You could throw twin turbos on it and maybe change a few other things, but it just seems a bit far-fetched. I could see getting it to maybe 1000hp, but that extra 500hp would be hard to squeeze out.
