From the BBC: General Motors is showing a physical version of the 2X Vision GT for "Kazunori Yamauchi's seminal Gran Turismo racing series." The car was unveiled "at the 2014 Los Angeles auto show, . . ."
The article does not make clear whether the physical version contains an actual engine. In game, the 2X "packs a 671kW laser (cue Dr Evil close up) powered by a pack of lithium-ion batteries, and an air-powered generator to produce a cool, clean 900bhp." Further:
"How does it work? The mid-mounted laser beamed energy propulsion system, we're told, pulses beams of light that focus in a shroud, to create shock waves that generate massive thrust." (Of course, that's a description of the in-game version.)
The driver's position is described as "face down with your arms and legs splayed out towards the wheels, with suspension and propulsion built around [you], . . ."
