When driving this model, the pilot needs to keep in mind that the downforce on the car changes greatly along with vehicle speed. The engine is a 2,000 cc turbocharged V6 that is downsized from the X2014 Fan Car, producing 788 BHP.
It is governed by the same rules of aerodynamics as a modern day racing car, in that its downforce will increase as the inverse square of vehicle speed. The shape of the rear floor has also been optimised for this configuration. It is equipped with the same front and rear-wheel covers and glass canopy that reduces air resistance, but is given a double plane front wing that produces high downforce. The X2014 Standard, the mid-range model of the X series, is a conventional Venturi car that takes away the axial-flow fan and skirts from the X2014 Fan Car, the top model of the series. The result was the X2014 series, announced at the end of 2013 in Gran Turismo 6. Adrian Newey, the chief technical officer of Red Bull Racing, and Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi further refined the concept of the "fastest racing car on earth, untouched by any and all regulations", and pursued the optimisation of the design even further. The fan car project that started with the collaboration between Red Bull Racing and Gran Turismo continued even after the release of Gran Turismo 5. "A traditional Venturi car with the axial-flow fan and skirts removed from the X2014."
