The X1 is a collaboration between Polyphony Digital and Adrian Newey, the Chief Technical Officer over at Red Bull Racing, forGran Turismo 5. The car has been designed around the following idea:
“If you built the fastest racing car on land, one that throws aside all rules and regulations, what would that car look like, how would it perform and how would it feel to drive?”
For some interesting stats on the design, be sure to check out the following article from Red Bull.
