VIDEO: Beyond Gran Turismo 5 - Koenigsegg CCX
Koenigsegg CCX rendered - Click above to view the video after the jump
We're pretty excited about the new Gran Turismo 5 video game for the PlayStation 3 and PSP, and the sneak peeks we've seen so far have been astonishingly good. We know GT5 will have some sweet damage rendering capabilities, night racing and weather changes. Plus, we know the graphics are damned impressive. But clearly there's more on the table.
GT5 will be all well and good, but what we're about to show you is about as eye-popping as anything you're going to see. After the jump is a video rendering of the rare and alluring Koenigsegg CCX done by a company called Proper Graphics. It is not, as originally thought, a teaser from GT5.
The clip is only 1:47 long, the engine doesn't start and the tires don't even budge. It's just a series of hovering camera shots of the CCX on a beautiful cobblestone road, and the detail is just shy of breathtaking. The sheetmetal, carbon fiber and interior appointments are about as detailed as anything we've ever seen, and we're hoping that we can expect a taste of this sort of thing in future GT installments. Hit the jump to see it for yourself.

Maybe it's an unannounced preview for PGR6?
Just a thought.....

That really looked like the real car itself, too bad that there were no engine sounds.

the only part of this that looks fake is the rendering of the metal on the wheels

Very impressed, needs an extra coat of AA, but still the best in terms of graphics, and even an improvement over the prologue!
I can't wait. Definitely buying on day one. I loved the prologue and I will love this.

Holy cow that is nothing short of phenomenal.

Looks very real. Although rendering is different than in game. Looks amazing though.

Dont compare Forza graphics to this ! You have lost your mind. You bring shame on GT5.
All I ever need in life is a PS3 and GT5 =D

@ JDM
Except this has absolutely nothing to do with GT5...
RadicalxEdward 8:20PM (9/19/2009)
lol i posted that comment when there was only one other, didn't know it wasn't from gt5, but still, modern rendering in general is super impressive.
