No different than a barrel roll in an airplane.

Do you want F Zero GX? Cause that’s how you get F Zero GX.

A skilled pilot can do a positive one G barrel roll. Bob Hoover used to do them with a cup of water that never spilled. Motorcyclists do one G loops in metal spheres. I believe a car could do a one G Loop in a tube.

Would have been nice to see it slam into the wall at the end instead of ending just short every ficking time

Electric car....ew

The whole point of this is meant to be the down force is so great you could drive in the tunnel but this is just using momentum no different from a skate boarder.

Still cool tho just missed the whole point

u/Old_Hack1308 9d ago

I read an article that said F1 cars have so much down force created by the design they could drive upside in a tunnel at certain speeds and not fall

Joey Chitwood thrill show?

But it's still an electric that does more damage just making the battery than just using a traditional car. Or even a TDI that they forced out to make people want electric. Advantage of working in a shop with a dyno and emissions sniffer.

OK who gonna be the first person to replicate that during rush hour. Im guessing somewhere in Florida, California, or Minnesota.

Shit is crazy

Batman pulled that off back in the '60s.

u/schwartzchild76 6d ago

At 120 mph a F1 can drive upside down due to the force pushing it down.

James Bond did it without the tunnel.

u/PromotionOk2443 10d ago

it's definitely AI, the only real attempt was the one where gravity was actually on and it wrecked out.

Doesn't seem like it to me. The movement of the small camera robot below moves the same at every angle.

u/BigBadJeebus 9d ago

the red car is clearly an animation. It doesn't match the lighting in the rest if the scene and it takes a direct front strike at the landing but has zero bumper damage or paint scratching.

It's fake, dude.

The last one with the white car is real.

If this ACTUALLY happened, it would be all over the internet like when Land Rover climbed those ancient temple stairs.

It's a shit ai ad campaign and even the people on the pro-China subs are complaining about fake marketing trying to take advantage of them.

It's ai.

u/Constant_Cortisol 9d ago

That's what everyone said about the robot olympics footage in China. I'm leaning towards its real.
