It really isn't. If you have proof of this claim I encourage you to provided it. Otherwise, you're merely confusing a real car with the fibreglass* model that was built.
(*I think it was fibreglass, may have been wood thinking about it.)

I believe Adrian Newey (RedBull F1's aerodynamicist, engineer, designer, and chief technical officer) described the car as more of a "thought exercise". "What could we do in F1 if we weren't constrained by the rules? What would the limits be?" - that was his basic premise. Find out what the car would be capable of. It doesn't defy physics; it obeys them. It's a *feasible* idea, if there were anyone capable of really driving it, or courses safe enough for it. Courses are designed around the idea of 200-mph cars, for the most part, with gravel traps and runoff areas designed to slow down a car leaving the track at top speed. When the top speed is more like 350mph, that becomes an order of magnitude harder to do.
There is no real, actual, running version of the X1/X2010/X2011. There is a body mockup, but that's about it. Everything else that exists about the car is only digital bits and bytes...
From an article at the time GT5 was coming out:
"We all know Red Bull's technical director Adrian Newey can design incredible fast cars, but the Brit has really outdone himself with his latest contraption, the Red Bull Technology's top-secret X1 Prototype. According to a report from the GMM news agency, the aforementioned prototype lapped the Suzuka racetrack 20 seconds faster than an actual F1 car.
The X1 Prototype was driven virtually by Sebastian Vettel and was created by Newey for the new PlayStation game Gran Turismo 5, due to be released in November this year. With total freedom to design a racing animal not bound by any technical regulations, the Red Bull technical lived up to his name and created the fastest car of Gran Turismo 5.
“We all have a dream about pushing the boundaries, where the performance of the car and the experience of the driver take precedence over the rules,” said Newey about his latest project..."

The car was driven *virtually*. As in, not for real, but only in the game.

You do have a point but will this change your mind? 💡

Oh look, it's the car I was talking about that is made out of wood & bog and doesn't have an engine, isn't a prototype in any way and is merely a model..
You sure showed me.

NO it won't...Will you please understand that does not run drive, or work in anyway.. It is a giant model.....END of Story
This horse has been beaten to death 1000 times.. Please stop, please!💡💡💡

No, you're posting false information trying to claim a model is a prototype for a real vehicle, which it isn't and it has been made so damn clear through its development and afterwards that it will never be a real thing. It is a purely fictional scenario of "What if". I wouldn't care but you're outright claiming it's real and then using a model car as evidence.
That's like me saying this car exists and is a prototype for the real thing because we can clearly see it in the real world here
I reckon they might build a similar car to the X1 in the future (Probably in 50 years time)
They really wont.
The amount of money required to sink into something which isn't enjoyable to watch would be financial suicide.
F1s go slower than they can for many reasons, safety, cost and crowd appeal.
People don't find seeing a car for the a split second as it grips around a corner at monstrous speed before taking off entertaining. If that weren't true, it is at least how those in charge see it.
STOP DELUDING YOURSELF, IT HAS NEVER REALLY EXISTED AND NEVER WILL.
