A while back we posted some info about a concept car (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8053&highlight=nissan) from Nissan which sported an XBox. It turns out, the car actually sports an XBox 360. On top of that, you can use the car itself (http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2005/dec05/12-27URGE360PR.mspx) to play Project Gotham Racing 3.
The URGE concept car is equipped with the award-winning “PGR 3,” which allows drivers to control a breathtaking trip through the streets of five photo-realistic locations: New York City, London, Las Vegas, Tokyo and the Nurburgring test track in Germany. “PGR 3” drivers view and play the game on a flip-down LCD screen, which doubles as a rear-view mirror when the car is being used for real driving. They control the action using the Nissan URGE’s race-inspired steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal. A Nissan URGE driver can, for example, maneuver through the streets of New York, park the car and fire up the Xbox 360, then virtually race through the same streets using the same steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal — blurring fantasy and reality in a way that the automotive world has never before seen.
Wow...that's pretty damn neat. That's one expensive XBox 360 controller.
