When I searched around Simpleplanes.com, I could not find Chaparral 2X anywhere (plenty of 2J though). It seems that because Chaparral 2X has complex geometries and is not mind-numbingly fast like the Tomahawk, no one bothers to build it. Therefore, I decided to tackle this crazy concept car with some experiments of my own.
The car features laser propulsion. This means the thrust from the engine is not continuous but a series of pulses. To recreate this feature, I used a 0 damage gun to fire at the rear of the car to push it forward. It works sufficiently well.
The car also features a hinge-damping-based suspension. When the hinge damping value is too low, has no mass, or is scaled down, it would flop around. I realized I could use this bug as a feature by using it as a very stiff suspension. Unfortunately, the suspension on this car is still too stiff but the massive amount of downforce should mitigate this issue when driving around terrain.
FireGuns to drive forward
Roll to steer. Change control in variable tab
I did not test this car on low physics so I am not sure what would happen
Hope you enjoy!

I added too much shine to the main color of the car. Change the first color (white) to the following stats for better results: Metallic: 50%, Smoothness: 80%.
Also, change the upper limit of the input from 1 to 2 in the InputController XML editing tab of the jet engine hidden inside the car if you wish for a sound that is closer to that of Gran Turismo.
Hmmm.....
I think your remarks are a little partial. I hope you spend more time browsing cars, because it will allow you to find more cars with more parts.
@Ownedpilot fair enough but okay 👌
@V Because this car is powered by bullet impact. I do not know how to remap the firing gun control with funky trees.
@Jmplane678 I admit my laziness got the best of me. I thought that since the default HUD element is right where the screen sits, it would just be covered up.
oh my god a VGT
That's beautiful.
My 2nd favorite fake car in Gran Turismo.
@Ownedpilot the 3 screen from the driver prospective
@SimpleDynamincs I think they are in the rear wing that connects the main body and the wheels. The arms are either tucked in near the body or shoved into the front wing.
But of course, the only people that have answers to this are Chevrolet Chaparral team.
@Jmplane678
I am kinda curious about what you are looking for. From the driver's perspective, the only interior he can see are 3 enhanced reality screens, which are easy to add. However, the whole clam shell opening and closing to let people in is too complicated to build since there are no good references.
@Ownedpilot ahhhhhh, okeh.
I wish this car have interior details
:(
Why is fireGuns the throttle?
@keiyronelleavgeek566 No. The farthest Chevrolet Chaparral got is a rolling chassis model displayed during 2014 LA auto show.
nah bro is this real?
Gran Turismo 7 moment
Pretty damn sleek.
Looks incredible!
@Ownedpilot yupp
it has 1k perf cost
i can handle that
@Gastonplanes A quick Google should tell you that it is a Vision Gran Turismo car from Chevrolet Chaparral. This car is inspired by wingsuit flying. It is basically a car wrapped around the driver. The driver drives in a prone position. The power source is a laser that ionizes the air and produces thrust. Click the hmmmm... link of ThomasRoderick to see more details.
WHOAAAAAAAAAHH! WHAT… IS… THAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!
@Ownedpilot okay
@AirNK Propulsion. This thing is powered by bullet impact.
Is the gun meant for sound effects or a pedal simulation? This is interesting!
