With the release fast approaching next month, the teaser campaign for GRID Legends is gaining traction.
In the run-up to release, Codemasters has released a dramatic new trailer introducing us to a new driver in the story mode and a brand new hypercar never seen in a video game before.
Tushek TS 900 Racer Pro makes video game debut in Grid Legends
Making its video game debut in GRID Legends is the Tushek TS 900 Racer Pro. Limited to just 12 examples in real life, the Tushek TS 900 Racer Pro is the "world's lightest hybrid hypercar."
This insane hypercar weighs less than 1,350 kg, delivers a 1:1 power to weight ratio, and has a top speed of 236 mph. Under the bonnet is a 4.2-litre V8 and two electric motors sending power to the front wheels. Combined, this setup is good for 1,113 horsepower.
Built on a spaceframe chassis, the hybrid hypercar has a striking design with carbon-fibre body panels, aggressive aero, and a large rear wing keeping it glued to the track.
