Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spawns Real-Life Car

Car Analogy Please writes to tell us that a new car unveiled at the Paris Auto Show was modeled after the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue car. GTbyCITROËN is the first car that has been designed in tandem with a video game to then spill out onto the actual pavement. "The GTbyCITROËN is the product of a partnership built up during the creation of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Takumi Yamamoto, from Citroen and Kazunori Yamauchi from Polyphony Digital Inc, the games developer were inspired by each others industries to design a concept car for the game that then flowed further into the real-world. The game version of the car mirrors the real-world performance of the concept."

Not exactly the same, but the T-Rex has fairly similar looks.

And of course, a body-heat powered vehicle (or whatever it was) is a really stupid idea IMO, even if the Nike One does look pretty cool. ;-)

Designed by videogame?

That actually looks pretty cool. Though TBH I don't see how much the video game aspect can help,
since you could design whatever you want that looks cool in a game but have it not work in reality.

But good publicity.
