Is this thing really suppose to be under 1,800 lbs.? That's what I've heard and that's crazy if it's true.

The GTS-R is the lightest at 680kg and the X is only 35kg heavier, if I'm correct that'll be LESS than 1,700 lbs with a curb weight of 1,658 lbs.

Well if you think that's crazy than you must have missed the hp rating....

Which on its own would make it the most powerful car that wasn't hacked to grace the world of GT.
Combine the absurd power figure with the low weight and you have the recipe for ungodly performance.

If you can tame it, that is. This car is right up with the 2X when it comes to scary thoughts and equally scaring prospects of driving... You really need to learn to adapt with these cars, especially when they can be about as fast as a bullet train.
And people are lucky enough that SRT didn't decide to just go full sci-fi and add some strange laser and/or gas-based contraption...

I saw it, it's over 2000+ HP but to have a V10 engine that can produce that much power and to keep the car that low of weight?
That's Crazy man!! a 815kg car with 2,000+ HPEDIT: Will we see a 1,000PP rating from this car?

This is right past the 2x. Forget anything else we've ever seen before.If you can tame it, that is.

And of course, then the SRT will be defeated by the Bertone when (and if) it comes out. If you though the 2X looked crazy, once that hits the game, arrows will be fired left and right regarding the Italian Wipeout machine...

I'll stick my neck out and say that it could make the likes of the Red Bull X cars look tame in the right hands.

I didn't think it would cornering wise, but seeing that video I think it would take it. It totally ***** on the x cars for acceleration for sure.

What I'm Saying. The 2X caps out at about EDIT: 900HP.
That Bertone VGT doesn't even look like a car, lol I don't know what the heck that thing is
.....I'm still gonna drive it though.

The 2X caps out at around 900hp which means the X model has almost TRIPLE the HP of that rocketship.

Er... Isn't the 2X a 900 hp car? I could be wrong, but I believe that such a number is the correct horsepower rating...
Nevermind, slightly tree'd by Vic. The point still stands, though.

It's a F-Zero-meets-Wipeout-and-then-meets-crazy-Italian-designer car, that's what it is.
I just hope it comes with an inbuilt flame shield, because if the Tomahawk (which is a fairly grounded design all thing considered) can be as controversial as it is, imagine the response towards the Bertone...

Oop, damn, I had mistaken the 2X for the X2. My mistake fellas

Nevertheless, it's still impressive, whether you compare it to the 2X or any of the Redbull X cars. The Tomahawk X is so much more powerful it's not even funny. In fact, it's downright terrifying!
Exactly. I won't even bother to read any comments about the Bertone if there is a news article about its release, because I already know that many comments will brutally offensive and short-sighted (not to mention mostly hollow), featuring such "epic" lines including "Dis car sux, fake car." or "GT IS DED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I commend Bertone on being way out there, but boy the Urano will be polarizing unlike any other VGT car...

I agree, It's great to see that Bertone did not hold back on the imaginative end of this project. I for one love to see the creativity from these Car manufacturers. It really shows the true potential of these designers and what their minds are truly capable of creating.

That is some strong straw-grasping right there, haha. But well, it's rather spooky, I'll give it that.
Quite, but I still fear that Bertone may have gone beyond even the (somewhat blurry) limits of the VGT project. It's a futuristic sports car, but it's way beyond anything that one sees in most modern concept cars. But then again, Bertone's brand identity was never really clear to begin with, not to mention that they are still recovering from a bankrupcy... And they aren't working for any car brand in particular in this project, so just like SRT, they can have the luxury of going bananas.

Talk about a stroke of luck.
If you were in a car that weighed the same as one of them, then I would get kinda spooked.

Image the power output after you change the oil on the X.

You know what I'm worried about? PD trying to one up the SRT with X2017 in GT7. Probably has 3,000hp, weighs as much as a Caterham, completely wingless for reduced drag and has 2 full time fans
Well, if RedBull isn't interested on besting the X, I think we're good. They could always "borrow" the propulsion from the 2X and the multi-flaps from the Tomahawk to aid the aerodynamics of a future X2016 (shouldn't it be 2016 as opposed to 2017?). Couple that with ground effects and I bet you could have enough grip to glue yourself to the moon...

The Red Bull does not use a propulsion system, the fan is actually the reason for making a vaccume under the car, it sucks any air from underneath, kind of like a hoover yes, or reverse hovercraft, sucking the car to the ground (literally) the Chaparral 2J uses the same system, but instead of the fans being driven by the main engine, they're both drven by a snowmobile engine.
In order to have ground effect, you must need air, the moon does not have any air, thus, it does not work.

Oops, my mistake, forgot about the fact that the fan doesn't aid propulsion; it IS the propulsion. Still, the multi-flaps from the Tomahawk X could be used for the car. I'm not really sure that RedBull wants to give the X car even more horsepower, it's already hard enough to control the current, fan-ladden X2015 as it is...
But thanks for clarifying, nonetheless.

I think you're sort of missing the point, but oh well.
For the noobs oyut there, dont assume that the Tomohawk X is the only Tomohawk out there, you have one designed just for you guys, the Tomohawk S!
I mean cmon, even the pro's would be racting to the Tomohawk X like this:
(Cerial is the cornering & braking, milk is the power.)
