First Red Bull X2010 “5G” Screenshots, GT5 Gameplay Videos

Jordan Greer · · 178 Comments

As announced last month, a new model of the Red Bull X2010 is being made available in Japan for the energy drink company’s “5G” Gaming Championship.

First pointed out by Claudio Tanner on GTPlanet’s Facebook page, screenshots and videos of the new car in action are appearing on GT5’s Photomode Photostream websites from around the world.

They show what appears to be a slightly slower version of the car, with its suction fan disabled, replaced by larger aerodynamic wings.

More screenshots are being collected and discussed here in our forums. Availability of the car outside of Japan is still unknown at this point. Thanks to all of you who sent this in!

    In the video at the top it has ‘Speed Test’ as an option…WHEN IS THAT COMING OUT??? I used to really enjoy that on GT4

  3. Tweetman_277

    This car looks like a lot of fun, but what I’m not sure about is how fast is it compared to modern F1 cars? I honestly can’t tell… It sounds a bit slower round suzuka, but that could just be the lack of a fan.

    Also, calling this car unrealistic is like calling a robotic moon base a bad way to spend money. You really can’t say that, because no one’s ever tried to do anything like it. I mean, it could be horribly unrealistic but no one really knows.

    I dont think the Red Bull is arcade, its just extremely fast haha, cant wait to drive this new car. Wonder if it has higher top speed since the fan is disabled.

  9. TurboProp

    Hey Kaz!!! I think you got your “Human Drama” right here!!! This place is a trip…back to Forza 4 until PD fixes the fixes. Later

  11. Maddens Raiders

    Cheers to PD and GT5 for the updates and continued support of my favorite racing title at the moment. I must say though, the only reason I’m here is hoping someone reads this and continues to spread the word that Update 2.08 has broken online stability and it has made my online experience unplayable.

    I just got kickied out of a race which I hosted and had 9 people in it, including myselt. 4 laps into a 5 lap race at Sarthe and I got the dreaded “disonnected from server lobby” error. It’s the 3rd time it’s happened today and despite my love for the game, just can not drag myself to give it another go. From here on out I’m waiting to play again until this issue is completelty resolved and I urge you to do the same if you enjoy racing online as much as I do. Trust me, this experience will make you hate the game at times, so it’s better not to get your hopes up and plan a big day/night of racing b/c this error will cruch your soul.

    1. Pit Crew

      Consider me crushed. Weekend League event got Red Flagged because of the “Online Disco Bug” and night time break in room was barely up 45 mins before the evictions began. Im truly at a loss for words. It goes without saying PD should be ashamed.

      Quality Assurance must be an “Alien” concept at PD.

    2. Progress823

      GT5 2.08 – fixed major issues, but causes many more. What the f**k PD?!?!? I have a near T1 connection and I’m getting disconnected due to your servers!!! Fix them!!!

    3. TheEzekiel

      this update is really…really bad and PD proved again that they are not doing their job properly…lack of DLCs…big amount of bugs..GT2 was the best GT ever and no one can tell different..btw I hate this game already..so so much but I play it only because I bought PS3 and G27 only because of this game..but f….y… PD :-)

  12. starwars22

    For all the people about to bash GT5 or Forza let’s all agree to disagree k, each game has there pros and cons, I have both I know, but I know something we can all agree on, that Need for Speed Shift 2 was an epic failure good customizing but that’s it. Also we all love cars so no matter what car game it is, it’s still a car game and we all love cars..

    2. starwars22

      Shift 2 was bad and if u think otherwise why are u on this site, if u have even played gt5 once you would know gt5 is better

  14. GTrf

    if someone didn’t know. To increase stability of FPS (frame per second) you need to reduce the screen to 90%. Display settings > Set display size (HD)=90%. This works! sorry if my english is bad. bye good luck…

  15. BMfan

    God, most of you people love to complain about nothing.
    I think it’d cool that PD changed one of their cars slightly just for a competition.

    This is a news post about a car and competition in japan and some how the comments make there way to Forza again.

  16. GTrf

    My best racing game: Gran turismo, Colin mcrae rally 2 (PS1) & 3 (PS2) not CM DIRT hollywood style. WRC 3, WRC 4 (PS2) by evolution studios. I miss good rally game like old colin-mcrae-rally or WRC by evolution studios. AND FORZA die already!!! sorry if my english is bad.

  19. Revoy

    Whenever I need a laugh, I just head over to GTPs front page articles for some of the most sarcastic comments you can see on any gaming forum. Puts me in a good mood, every time.

    3. TheEzekiel

      in my career..RB X2011 was used only in b-spec..f.e. 24h Le Mans…I just went to work and letmy drivers to enjoy this piece of garbage

  22. fortbo

    it pains me to say this but i got forza 4 yestrday and it is so much better than gt5 i miss the old gt ps: i am not”fanboy”

    1. omgitsbees

      Ooh totally, Forza 4 just has so much better customization (create racing vinyls, gigantic paint options, create your own races), a huge career mode, and lots of really good cars and DLC. It doesn’t look as good as GT5, and doesn’t have weather and dynamic day/night cycles, but that’s just a neutral feature for GT5, it isn’t something that is in the games favor, it really doesn’t matter.

    3. TokoTurismo

      I just love Forza 4 because its so much fun. I dislike comparing stuff but FM4 takes the cake. I just adore creating license plates and will do the same when Forza Horzion comes out. Already made a concept version of the plate in FM4 already from last night, since you’ll be able to transfer vinyls over to FH I think. :)

    4. panjandrum

      Personally I’m just waiting for a future X-Box that supports industry-standard FFB controllers. I spend a lot of money on equipment that works great on PS3 and Windows; and no matter how much I would love to play Forza it just won’t happen until Microsoft get’s with the program (or, at some future time, a wheel that I buy just happens to also support X-Box).

    5. LHswe

      Forza is better in terms of two things, one is usability and the other is the cars, they’re just the right cars for the job, a slew of Koenigseggs, Pagani’s, Ascari’s, Noble’s…all cars that are no shows in GT5. Where Forza falls short tho, is in the in the number of tracks, GT5 just has soo many and Forza so few, its such a shame, hopefully one of the two IP’s will built upon where the other falls short and make one with the best of both worlds.

    6. raoul1138

      @LHswe There are Pagani’s in GT5, just not many as far as I know. It has the Zonda R which is in the “recommended” section in online matches. Also, it has the Zonda C12S. I have one fully modified and drag tuned.

    7. LHswe

      Raoul, you obviously missed my point… I know there is a Zonda R and a C12, but the C12 is a standard model and that says it all…Where Forza has 4-5 Pagani’s GT5 has 16 Honda Civics, and even the Japanese should know that the civic isn’t that bloody interesting. GT5 is the greater game in soo many respects but the diversity of cars is just nowhere near the standard most fans want it to be. They have done some good jobs like including the Aventador, Aston V12 Vantage…but with almost 8 million copies sold they can afford a bigger team getting out there and adding many more cars like the Bugatti SS or Vitesse, Koenigsegg Agera, CCX or CCXR, Ascari’s, Noble’s, The new ferrari FF, GTO, GTOXX…The Pagani Huarya, more spyker…Do you see where I am going? These are the cars people want to own but probably never will, thats why it’s important to add those instead of a Civic which in all likelyhood you can afford.

    4. another_jakhole

      We’ll know if GT is ruined by the next GT game. One game and they get this much uncertainty from supposed fans that know what the other GT’s offered and especially didn’t offer. Giving them a break for this one after 13 years of GT’s development isn’t silly to do when you look at their track record. It isn’t like being on a rollercoaster and having it end in a raft. GT’s stuck at the peak of the rollercoaster, so now we have to wait and see if it’ll drop forward or roll backwards into the station. Any kind of update to GT5 isn’t going to tell us how it will turn out in the end.

    2. m8h3r

      The third sentence!

      “They show what appears to be a slightly slower version of the car, with its suction fan disabled, replaced by larger aerodynamic wings.”

      You have time to comment but not to read?

  25. jasr73

    @MuoNiuLa
    A fair call and agree. PD do need to do promotions to keep sponsors happy. Sometimes it will be regional based and not entirely applicable to the planet wide GT5 community. That’s business folks. However 2.08 did seem to bring some online stability issues, it certainly did in Australia. Down here we put some of it down to the school holidays and resulting spike in traffic on servers. Then random disconnection issues started to occur out of host private lobby’s with fast stable connections and associated (807XXXXXX) error messages which I haven’t seen since ‘The Great Anon Hack’ of 2011.

    Jordon / GTP crew – can you let us know if you’ve heard anything through official channels re server stability issues post 2.08?
    Cheers guys :)

    1. Pit Crew

      @Muoniula Stupid updates bugs forced the League event I participate in to be Red Flagged till tonight. I suspect we may see version 2.09 soonish maybe.

    2. raoul1138

      We’d better see it soon and I swear, if they create more bugs this time I will be back to TDU2, SHIFT 2 and DiRT 2 and 3. That I DO NOT want to have to do!

  26. SavageEvil

    Look at this ssdd, hey look prototype car the size of a toy years later becomes real car. How unrealistic is that…!!! Some people should shut up instead of talking. This is for a blasted promotion you bloody cry babies, for the love of God, PD does have to do certain things to use licensee trademarks you know, none of it is free. Get over yourselves, 2 years later they still actually update and fix things in the game, if you still can complain after countless free updates and fixes, you might need a bit more time in the good old outdoors.

    1. mercgoat

      Sick of special treatment…..not the first or last time
      they have Alfa Romeo museum cards and an exclusive seasonal Tesla roadster race….why? No reason for any of the three. Better get this car but who knows.
      Besides the two corporate sponsored cars since they have all chrome and stealth they got basically every car.

    2. MuoNiuLa

      So funny. We should be happy they are still updating the game yet PD managed to mess up the servers with the latest update, making online borderline unplayable.

      Give me a break.

    1. another_jakhole

      The fan was the problem for a lot of people so it’s a good decision in a lot of people’s eyes.

    2. raoul1138

      You know what would be a good idea? Porsche, Koenigsegg, Ascari, Ariel, Noble, Zenvo (no video game has this), Radical, and more non-Japanese cars. Did you know that aproximately 60% of GT5’s cars are Japanese?

    3. another_jakhole

      Did you know approx. 80% of the cars are from previous versions of GT? Look at the Premiums for those statistics if you can.

  28. jergto

    What a joke, lol GJ PD I visit GTP just to see this BS.

    Least I can have fun with my SRT Viper and ’13 Boss Mustang and a slew of other cars.

    I’m really surprised they haven’t added a GTR that can beat LMP racecars yet. Really glad to see PD and these Japanese companies not listen to fans.
    Come over where the grass is greener and play a game which caters to EVERYONE, not just Japanese/fantasy BS racecars.

    1. smartie

      I played forza 4 at my friends the other night, it doesnt feel anywhere near as good as gt5! It’s not a challenge at all….and I dont get why people say the graphics are better in FM4-they really aren’t! Enjoy your arcade street racer horizon lol

    4. TomBrady

      He’s not being a GT5 fanboy at all. It may be fun for some people regardless but he’s 100% that it’s not a challenge at all, “good” is a matter of perception, but I think he means it doesn’t feel as natural or realistic which is obviously the case to any unbiased, and real world experience driver. But people really say it has better graphics? Who are those people? LOL

    5. MuoNiuLa

      Someone bashes GT5 and says FM4 is better > people come to defend GT5 > people defending GT5 retilatie by bashing Forza and saying it has bad physics when they most likey don’t even know what they’re talking about > huge fight, blah, blah, blah.

      Never ceases to fail.

    6. Slurpee

      I personally own Gt5 and Forza, Forza is a good game don’t get me wrong, but it just doesn’t have the same feeling to me, I love being able to make my own Liverys but it just doesn’t feel the same.

      I wish the online community was better on it, it’s nearly impossible to find a room that isn’t full of bashing and crashing 12 year olds who will kick you if you place better than them. Also the cockpit FOV is horrible, makes me feel disconnected from the car and a mile away from the steering wheel.

      I like Forza, but it doesn’t feel established enough for me to commit to it.

    8. HeXoSKEL3t0n

      Wow jergto, you must have so much time to appreciate your beloved Forza, especially with all the time spent on your constant visits to GTPlanet to spite us.

      Please, tell us more about your superior experiences with Forza, since you have so much time to hang around here instead of playing your so called ‘better game’

      Both games each have their own pros and cons, so shut up and deal with it. The end.

    9. starwars22

      I have both gt5 and forza too and while forza is fun for maybe 3-4weeks, I still play gt5 almost exclusivly and it’s just more fun. The only thing going for forza is Porsche and the new viper, and the trees look better. That’s it.

      And to be honest F1 2012 is better than than both, but that’s my opinion cause I love F1

    10. Progress823

      If more than one person, more than two people, etc. is saying something about the physics of Forza being bad….hmmmm…….maybe it should be looked at and taken into account, just as the poor engine sounds of GT5.

  33. NFSCARBON1

    Am I the only one that thinks there is more to the ‘5G’ than it appears? Many people have said the greatest flaws with the Red Bull becoming a real car are the G forces involved and having tyres, let alone drivers that can cope with the high lateral G’s. Is it possible that a fully working RedBull 5G might be produced? I’d love to see one being given garage 56 at Le Mans.

    1. Dekropttiv

      I never thought I’d agree with someone with the username NFSCARBON, but I was thinking the exact same thing.

  36. darklaser12

    /watch?v=o34FHry-Rfs&feature=related

    I think this shows the Red Bull X2010 5G is free by looking at the gray small box.

    3. Hentis

      Err Dont hold your breath.
      Dont think it will be hitting the US or any other store for that matter….hmmmm I wonder!!!!

  37. Filip_Ovik

    We all hate the X1, don’t add one more pd! Fix the black screen issues ( as we got from the 2.08 update) so we all who still play GT5 can do it without getting disconnected!!

    5. TheEzekiel

      I dont like X1 they are piece of garbage..and hey..you are so right..that black screen drives me crazy!!!!

  38. lalaurentide

    Man, PD are the masters of copy-paste, making iterations after iterations of the same car. This is the Skyline all over again.

  39. Hentis

    Its available on the Japanese store.
    You download a 100kb key file, so I presume its in the 2.08 patch.
    Upon loading GT5 (on my Japanese account, oh shut up and start with the “your not suppoised to have one of those accounts , im so jealous and im gonna tell) i cant see a way of getting it. There are no competitions and I cant see a way of unlocking it.

  41. Crazyglues

    When Can I get this car on my PS3? Why does Japan get a special one and we get nothing…. come on’ Just because I’m not in Japan doesn’t mean I don’t want to celebrate the energy drink company’s “5G” Gaming Championship.

    Where’s the Love….

  42. GTrf

    If someone didn’t know. To increase stability of FPS you need to reduce the screen to 90%. Display settings > Set display size (HD)=90%. This works! sorry if my english is bad.

  44. Amac500

    See this looks like what it should have been the whole time. Slower speeds make it more raceble, and the engine sounds better, doesn’t it? I like that low grumble to it. I think the livery is sweet to. Lower speed, disabled fans, I hope they offer it as a 99¢ DLC, I’ll buy it!

    1. AmericanStig

      more race-able? the X2010 is fantastic , really separates the skilled drivers from the rest, this is just a dumbed-down noob friendly version.

  45. carfreak13

    Though it has one of the already made engine sounds, i like it altogether. More like a normal Race Car. Up there it says it’s slightly slower. Um, that looks a lot slower to me.

    1. amg63

      Not necessarily. In my experience, if you hop out of the x2010/11 you will start to under steer due to being used to not braking so much.

      Driving the x1 vs a normal car has no real skill I my eyes.

    2. TokoTurismo

      ^ +1 That’s the reason I like it. Its drives more realistic than the other two X1s, and I really adore it. I wish we had this X1 at the start of GT5, but glad to have it now. It should hopefully come soon to us for free. :)

  49. FuelAirSpark

    What’s the ‘local storage’ pop-up for Adobe Flash Player and why would you allow someone to store information on your computer? Sorry if this is a dumb question, my 10 year old niece knows more about computers than I do. Nice to see content constantly being added to the game, by the way.

  50. slowman

    I don’t normally like the fantasy cars but this may be a much more interesting car to drive with the suction fan disabled. Looking forward to the possibility of testing it out. :)

  52. Pit Crew

    Even if it comes to other regions, im still booting anyone foolish enough to “Blue Up” in it when visiting my race lobby lol but seriously… (-__-)

    1. Borna12345

      It isn’t nearly as much of a cheat car as the original-the fan is offline and the car is about on the same level as a FGT, but with buffed stats.

    2. Pit Crew

      Its still gonna be faster then anycar in my lobbies, (and many others) and unless room comment specifically invites it, its presence will be null and void. We race for commradre and social interaction, not to entertain imbeciles who just gotta troll the main lobby and disrupt your fun.

    3. gamerdog6482

      You are saying that every person who uses an X series is an imbecile who just trolls?

      That is a very sweeping generalization and I am offended by it.

    4. RACECAR

      Nice unfounded assumption, Surely that must mean I’m an Imbecile as are my friends because we’ve driven ours several times. Generalizing much?

    6. Pit Crew

      My comment says if its not a X1 room dont bring it.

      Im refering to anyone who visits my non X1 race lobby and uses an X1 when they can clearly see no one else is using it and the Lobby comment is specific to what cars we are using.

      That to me is an imbecile because that person is clearly disrespecting my friends and lobby.

      The X1 is cool with equal competition (other X1s) but not much else. I have to kick people all the time for using the RB when others are not.

      Who actually comes into a 220 MPH lobby to slaughter a bunch of drivers with that thing just so they can have a ego boost over beating a bunch of street cars? An Imbecile.

    8. gamerdog6482

      Now you’re saying that people are disrespecting you just because we use it?

      That seems very ignorant to me.

    9. Pit Crew

      Look dude you can ignore the basis of what im saying all you want. You are classifying yourself in that way. Thats on you. Im talking about 1 thing and your on a personally offended razzle, putting words in my mouth.

      The RedBull doesnt belong in online Race Lobbies, when the Room Comment specifically says 220 MPH top speed only. Its that simple, so flip it flop it anyway you want. I know what I meant, its in my OP in plain and simple english.

      I have RedBulls (4) also but only use them online in RedBull only lobbies so all this stuff about me saying everyone who drives a RedBull is an Imbecile is not accurate . If your going into non RedBull lobby, a clearly stated non RedBull lobby and use the X1 anyway then yes again you are an Idiot, and being disrespectful. I could care less if you drive it, tune it, wreck it, flip it, just so long as players use it amongst even competition (Other RedBulls) online.

    11. gamerdog6482

      I agree that you shouldn’t use them in rooms that specifically say no X2010, but what you said made it sound like they shouldn’t be used except in RB only lobbies, which is ignorant and plain BS.

    12. another_jakhole

      He’s only saying that if it’s specified “No Red Bulls”, then people should oblige and show no disrespect. Open rooms for cruising or whatever else that make no mention of it should mean that the host will allow Red Bulls into their room.

  55. raoul1138

    So, uhh.. Is the original X2010 available in Canada? I really want it because apparently you can paint it..

    6. gamerdog6482

      @grazbro

      1: I am going to make assumptions about what you meant. Your poor grammar prevents me from being sure.
      2: Why not?
      3: The X series is what the FGT was always trying to be. Why not bring that a step further?
      4: The fan was disabled, so it can’t suck anything anymore. Didn’t you read the article?

  59. SilverArrow

    why couldn’t the hsv sound like that? That x2010 sounds much closer to the real hsv than the dyson they used to record it.

  60. thunderjolt

    Question: How are you meant to drive something slightly less powerful than an X1 without a suction fan o.o

    2. raoul1138

      Possibly also like a Ferrari F1? They have 850+PP if I remember correctly. I don’t have one, but they must be extremely difficult to drive.

    3. FdkVeilside

      raoul1138 the only hard Formula car to drive in GT5 is the Formula GT, the Ferraris are extremely stable

The Real Story Behind the Mysterious Cat in Gran Turismo 5

Jordan Greer · · 30 Comments
When Gran Turismo 5 was released, something unusual in the game’s Kyoto Photo Travel Location caught the attention of our community: a curiously detailed little cat. He blinked, turned his head, looked around, and generally drove people crazy.
