In Gran Turismo[]
Red Bull Racing made their series debut in Gran Turismo 5. In partnership with Gran Turismo, they have produced the fastest and most powerful cars in the game, namely the Red Bull X2010 '10 and, with the addition of the first set of DLC, the Red Bull X2011 Prototype '11. In Gran Turismo 6, other four new RBR vehicles are introduced. These vehicles are the Red Bull Racing Kart 125 and three models of a new evolution of the X2010, the Red Bull X2014. In Gran Turismo Sport, a new model was launched in the form of the Red Bull X2019 Competition, which was a slower, more realistic version of the car designed for the FIA Gran Turismo Championship events.
Red Bull Racing also sponsors the Beat the Pro event, a special time trial event that allows players to challenge lap times set by their Formula One drivers.
Menu Book Description[]
- This menu book description refers to the Red Bull X-series cars.
It wasn't long after the first car was invented that people became obsessed with how fast they could go. The first petrol-powered car was revealed to the world in 1886, and less than ten years later, in 1895, the world's first automotive race was held in Paris, France. Since then, for more than a century, we have been pushing cars to the very limit of speed. Gran Turismo has played a part of this historic challenge with its "Red Bull X Series" race cars. Developed in partnership with Red Bull Racing, best known for its involvement in F1, and Adrian Newey, the esteemed race car designer behind several F1 masterpieces, the X Series unlocked the most thrilling speeds for the world's top drivers as evidenced by countless victories at the Gran Turismo World Series Championships. Created to realize our collective need for speed, the X Series has rewritten the history of motorsports!
