Carbon fibre is a very strong material, you know. So is kevlar.
Also, it doesn't have CVT.
I'm getting tired of this now. The Red Bull X1 DOES NOT have a gas turbine engine, NOR does it have CVT. Those were just rumors made up by a magazine. We've ehard the car and seen the stats, and it does not sound live a CVT, gas turbine engine.

I like how some people were all negative to the fact of the x1 was made in GT5, saying " it's some F-Zero bull and what not and it's a waste of time for PD, and it wont be made in real life..blahblah." and then you get this magazine. 
This is some amazing stuff.

As far as I can see, that X1 is a 1:1 scale mock-up model, not a working prototype.

Correct, Newey even says it's unlikely they'd ever make it in the text.
About the RB6, they might be able to stick that in the game, and they'd probably want to if possible, but there could be licence restrictions while this season is still going.

I'm not sure it could be thrown into GT5 (unless as a "Update" and not as a patch), seems far too late to sqeeze one more since the discs have already been printed.

It's the principle that they are taking an idea that derived from a game this far. It's a stepping stone for the potential of this project, and future projects not just for games, but furthering the technology and progression of racing and stepping towards the boundries of physics.
It's like hey cool Star Wars created an idea of a 3D projected hologram, now that's become a reality.

I hope the RB6 is in the game. BTW, it clinched the constructors' championship today

It's just a model. To even make it with half the tech would cost a fortune, let alone to do every single thing to replicate the car in the metal.
Then there's the fact that they'd need to develop a series of braces/restraints as well as a regimented physical program just so drivers could survive 10 laps in the car.

It's not up to RBR when it comes to licensing their F1 cars. It's Ecclestone and the governing FIA body. The individual teams do not have the say on licensing the cars. As far as I know, the 2010 F1 license belongs to Codemasters alone.
