I quote Topspeed.com;
"A turbo spins very fast; most peak between 80,000 and 200,000 RPM (using low inertia turbos, 150,000-250,000 RPM) depending on size, weight of the rotating parts, boost pressure developed and compressor design. Such high rotation speeds would cause problems for standard ball bearings leading to failure so most turbo-chargers use fluid bearings. These feature a flowing layer of oil that suspends and cools the moving parts. The oil is usually taken from the engine-oil circuit and usually needs to be cooled by an oil cooler before it circulates through the engine. Some turbochargers use incredibly precise ball bearings that offer less friction than a fluid bearing but these are also suspended in fluid-dampened cavities. Lower friction means the turbo shaft can be made of lighter materials, reducing so-called turbo lag or boost lag. Some car makers use water cooled turbochargers for added bearing life."

oh my goodness... this is turning out to be WAAAAAYYYY better than I expected. It. Is. Beautiful. Dang, I really need to watch that video, but at the moment I can't 
still, I'm liking what I'm seeing from the picture dump, and from the info, dang. Hydrogen fuel cells? Hyundai's got some serious and massive balls to use that kind of powerplant, and a sort of KERS to top it off. And a turbo that spins at 200k rpm?? 
Wonder how that would sound like. Aaaarrrgghhh I can't wait for the next update so that I can drive this and the Bugatti VGT. 
Not bad, Hyundai. Not bad at all.

Beautiful car indeed, but it would look so much cleaner without that huge HYUNDAI on the fin

I agree, but acceptable to a race car.

Apparently the car's real name is the Hyundai Muroc, but I am not sure about it as it's referred to as the N 2025. The Muroc name also appears on the car's side skirt in ingame screenshots as well as the real model.

Actually 'Muroc' was a reference to the Muroc Dry Lake, so I guess it's name is in dedication:

I like the name of some cars, as they can reference something important to the company or could just be a beautiful name (Enzo Ferrari, Aston Martin Vanquish.. Etc) VGT car names add to their styling, I mean the Tomahawk sounds like a badass name despite it's unrealistic performance. The Hyundai Muroc sounds cool, although it reminds me of Morocco.

On a real race car yes, but this is a concept and I think they should have moved up the "N" or put an abstract "H" instead of just plain lettered Hyundai on the fin.
Anyways I'm just knit picking, this thing is gorgeous to look at and in my opinion better looking than the Mazda VGT from the rear

This might be a stupid question but, since this car is hydrogen fuelcell powered (ie electric), why does it have a turbo? As far as I'm getting it, the car doesn't have a 'regular' combustion engine, so there's nowere for a turbo to be usefull, atleast, if what I know about hydrogen fuelcell technology is correct..

I believe that turbo is called a Super Capacitor System for electric engines:

I think that when they mean turbo, they mean that regenerative system...? I'm just guessing

Hydrogen? Interesting choice of engine, I would never have expected that.

Whether you were talking about the engine or not doesn't matter. 200,000rpm refers to the turbine, and it's not only possible but actually already happens.
That notwithstanding, this car has no pistons...
A turbo is an air pump. Hydrogen fuel cells require both hydrogen fuel and air.
No, they mean an actual turbine. Albeit an electric turbine rather than a purely exhaust-gas driven one.

I was thinking a turbo in the traditional sense, but that isn't what they meant.

hmmm
i dont see the connection between this motor and the fictional one in this VGT besides being a 'fuel cell' and a Hyundai.
Fuel cells exist, we know that. Few people will make the connection to your mum's CUV in 5 yrs time.
