.... has shipped for XBox and PC. I have been waiting for this title for a loooong time and now I can finally get my virtual mudflaps dirty. Looks great and I hope it plays just as well as it looks.

What Is It?

Toyota Motor Triathlon Race Car Concept

What's Special About It?

This multifunctional race car of the future was designed to go fast whether on a slick racetrack, bumpy city streets or a punishing off-road course. Its hydrogen fuel cells power electric motors mounted on each wheel to give the MTR the kind of power necessary to perform in a wide range of environments. An electronically controlled suspension senses the terrain and instantly adjusts ride height and shock settings for maximum performance while the "intelligent" tires also have the ability to adjust their grip for variable conditions. Both systems feed their information into a central data system that interfaced with the driver through a virtual reality helmet. If you want to get a taste of what driving the MTR might be like, check out the video game Gran Turismo 4 as it will feature the Motor Triathlon Race Car as one its many available rides.

Yep, played the demo. OUTSTANDING! Looks excellent. The cars handle amazingly well on the courses even. I love the race damage and the way dust accumlates on your car. Absolutely amazing.

I hate racing games on PC but I know there is just no way it will look that good on XBox. Gonna have to flip a coin on this one though, since I got rid of my force feedback steering wheel.
