Take a look at this comparison video that juxtaposes a Pagani Zonda R lapping Nurburgring in the upcoming Project CARS racing game with an actual Pagani Zonda R lapping Nurburgring. Suddenly it seems like reality needs a hardware update.

For those unfamiliar, Project CARS was crowdsource funded nearly four years ago by British video game developer Slightly Mad Studios, best known for the Need for Speed: Shift series. Community involvement in Project CARS’ development has been a centerpiece of the game’s design since the very beginning, and that continual feedback has helped to keep the game’s focus on realism at the forefront of Slightly Mad’s mission.

Over those years, Project CARS has ballooned in both content and the quality of presentation, and among simulation addicts and driving purists, it has become one of most anticipated racing games of the decade. With more than fifty real-world tracks and sixty cars said to be available at launch, Project CARS could end up dethroning the Gran Turismo series as the king of racing sims. It certainly appears to have the visual fidelity and physics model to give Polyphony a run for their money.

The video doesn’t specify whether the game is running on a PlayStation 4, Xbox One or PC, but given the incredible level of detail, our money is on a beastly PC gaming rig. Regardless, the visual presentation is nothing short of stunning in any context, making the wait for Project CARS’ release on March 17^th that much harder to handle.
