I'm hoping it sound like a lightsaber
Maybe it'll play the sounds from the Darth Vader fight, complete with dialogue and everything! Really, how will PD tackle this sound issue? It's like they planned to release the 2X after the sound update to have a proper settings to handle a laser-powered engine or something...

Well, it's something different, that's for sure! Man, I haven't even had time to buy a 2D yet! That car's gonna be crazy, I can feel it.

Some quick internet conversions say the 671kW engine/thing powering the 2X VGT is the equivalent of 900hp. Quite short of the 1200hp the X14 fan car makes.

I can see it now - 2J to 2X - "2X - Jim Hall didn't tell you who your father was did he. Iiiiiiii am your father"
This thread and the laser beam propulsion makes me think of only thing -

This thread and the laser beam propulsion makes me think of only thing -
"No! You're not my real father! I won't join the dark side of the (fan) Force!"
And those Queen song lyrics fit the car like a glove: it is "Dynamite with a laserbeam" that is "guaranteed to blow your mind anytime".
One can only wonder how was the meeting that decided that the 2X's powertrain was going to be the one it is:"Sir, Subaru made a car based on fish fillet! How are we going to innovate with ours!?"
"Innovate!? Do people think we can't do innovation? Screw them, we will make our car run on lasers! Let's see people complain about this so-called 'lack of innovation'..."

@Jordan Not sure if this has already been posted, but there are 13 photos of the concept here....!!!

AND IT HAS THE NUMBER 66 ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT WHEEL ARCH AND AT THE BACK OF THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍
This was found from the GM website. The photos are copyright presumably so I cannot post them here I think? Anyway, you can see them easily there yourselves.

Ummm.... I prefer the slightly closer to production approach... but I guess they've taken the brief and really ran with it.

It's sci-fi to the max.
Man, this is one hell of a spaceship... er, I mean car.
GM took the name "Chaparral", put it in a blender with the words "Sci-fi" and "Vision GT" and then added a time machine for the hell of it. I'll say it again: GM has become my favorite VGT car designer; they did not settle for a rehash of an old concept car. They went balls to the wall and created a car with no fears nor constraints. I can already see many angry minds, complaining how this car doesn't fit in GT and that it is useless content. It doesn't fit in GT? That might be, but it fits in VGT perfectly.And that's all it matters.

No idea about the track as I'm not much good at guessing from pics.
That pic you posted from Facebook is the last of the 13 pics which are available at the link I posted above. 👍
And I'll say I've just looked at the reveal vid and:
a) the car is awesome
b) the music in the vid is awesome:tup:
c) the blond in the vid is awesome

- Sideways on GTPlanet
where's the driver? how does he sit in that? is he on his belly or something? where's the steering wheel? how are players only using the cockpit view going to play with that? it doesn't seem to have a lot of visibility where the visor is. It kind of looks bad*** but it doesn't seem practical at all... guess I'll just have to wait and see.
EDIT: Watching the video answered a few of my questions.

I feel bad for Subaru now. Their car is so cool, and it just got kicked in the nuts by this thing lol.

I didn't get it.
Don't worry, I got the joke. Because it's a fan car and Chaparral did those, right?
Yes, that's more or less my opinion when I was driving the Viziv today:
"You know, you drive reasonably well and you even have a interesting engine noise. But I'm kinda more excited by the 900-hp, completely unexpected laser-powered acid trip that came from one of the largest car companies in 'Murica. Sorry, it's not you, it's me. Well, it's more you than me, and it's also terrible timing on your part."

No words to describe my face right now. Hats off for an incredible and imaginative design. Pushing the boundaries of motor racing.
Bravo Chaparral-Chevrolet! The 2X is a true VISION GT.
......
However this racing car is not supposed to be driven with a steering wheel so I really don't know how it will feel in the game using a wheel, we will see...

I agree, the music in the trailer was very good. For those curious, it's "Murmer (Trailer Music)" by Daniel Heath Law.
