Video Games

Thanks to its silly one-in-the-front, two-in-the-back wheel setup, and complete lack of balance, the Reliant Robin is best known for its desire to roll over at the slightest attempt to corner. This was seen by many of us in a classic episode of Top Gear. 

Russia isn’t exactly known for their cars. Most of the ones I’m aware of are either highly utilitarian, boxy trucks and vans, crazy military style off-roaders, or junky sub-compacts held together with bubble gum and spit.

The Nissan GT-R is perhaps the most precise and predictable sports car on the market. It’s incredibly responsive, and sharp as a tack going around a road course. I speak from experience. It’s like a precision scalpel that makes anyone behind the driver’s seat look like a pro.

It seems as if car companies are starting to look outside of the traditional auto show venues to make announcements. There were several big car companies on hand at CES for the last few years, and now Porsche turned up at E3 with a new car to show off.

As video games get more true-to-life, and technology allows more manipulation of media, game-makers have gotten more creative with ways to promote their wares. Case in point, this 360-degree promo video for the game Driveclub, which puts viewers inside the cockpit of a Mercedes AMG S65 coupe as it races through epic landscapes around the globe.

Earlier this month, I mentioned that Bugatti was going to be bringing a full-scale version of its Vision Gran Turismo race car to Frankfurt. The car has now made its official debut, and it may be the hottest thing Bugatti that has ever been made.

One glance at the teaser images that Hyundai has offered ahead of the unveil of the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo and you can see that the car looks like the love child of a Le Mans racer from the future and a fighter jet.

If you play Gran Turismo 6 on the PS3, you may recognize this awesome race-prepped Bugatti. This Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo car was made specifically for the game. Bugatti has announced that it will be bringing a full-scale replica of the car to the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

You gotta figure that Master Chief can’t always be on duty, he has to have some off time from blowing away the Covenant. I don’t think he would ride around in a taxi, he would need something awesome to drive around.

The latest and greatest concept vehicle to break cover from the Vision Gran Turismo series comes to us from the SRT division of Fiat Chrysler. The futuristic SRT Tomahawk Vision is a serious beast on wheels, rocking a 7-liter V10 engine, along with a compressed-air based secondary power system, as well as active aerodynamics.

Normally, when the Peugeot gets to design a concept car that never has to be put anywhere near a production line, things get a bit odd. We get amazing looking cars that don’t have a proper engine bay and things like that.

Sadly, we’re not all race car drivers. That’s because we didn’t train, at great expense, for years as children for a shot in a career that usually requires another job as an actual source of income and almost never results any sort of stability.

iRacing has made a name for itself by putting a lowercase “i” in front of a single word describing what it’s about because that was really trendy for a while providing a very, very accurate racing simulation that is accessible to people who aren’t employed by Red Bull Racing.

The Sony PlayStation 3 racer Gran Turismo 6 continues to be a hotbed of activity for car companies to show off their futuristic concept cars. The latest concept to make its way to the game comes from Lexus.

If you’ve been looking forward to test driving the new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, you’ll be waiting a few more months. But the good news is you can get behind the wheel of the car – at least virtually – starting on March 17.
