[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6443830, member: 61026"] From the [URL="http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20141120-meet-chevys-manic-chaparral-vision-gt"]BBC[/URL]: 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."
