The folks at SRT have teamed up with Polyphony Digital to bring the next futuristic car to the tracks of PlayStation 3’s Gran Turismo 6, with the new SRT Tomahawk being the nastiest car in the racing simulator hands-down. Best of all, the SRT team designed three different trimlines so the new Tomahawk comes in Street, GTS-R and X trim, with varying levels of power and performance for each.
First off, all three of the SRT Tomahawk versions feature a high tech all-wheel drive setup with a unique V10 engine powering the rear wheels and pneumatic power (highly charged air) turning the front wheels. There are two air tanks built into the chassis that are filled by air pump system mated to the V10 engine when it is not accelerating, and from these two large tanks, the compressed air that helps turn the front wheels, control the active body panels and pressurize the driver’s G-suit. Oh, that’s right, the Tomahawk creates so much downforce in X trim that a human in street clothes would quickly pass out under hard acceleration and cornering.

All three of the packages for the SRT Tomahawk come with a 144 degree V10 engine and the pneumatic drive front wheels, but each package comes with its own unique tuning levels with different output. Also, only the X package comes with the active body panels that help the Tomahawk brake, steer and slip through the air when reaching a top speed over 400 miles per hour. Also, all three packages have high tech carbon matrix brakes, a suspension setup that included adaptive dampers and on-the-fly camber adjustments and a central seating position that is similar to that found in a modern Indy car. A dual clutch 7-speed transmission helps put the power to the road from the V10 engine, while the front-drive is direct variable drive.
SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo
In the 2035 SRT Tomahawk Street, the 144 degree V10 engine offers 792 horsepower and 501lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels while the pneumatic front drive system adds 215 horsepower for a total output of 1,007 horsepower. This V10 is unique from the current Viper V10, as it has a 144 degree layout that makes it similar to a modern Indy car motor and that design affords this engine an impressive redline of 9,500rpm. The Street package weighs 2,026lbs and can reach speeds above 250 miles per hour.
SRT Tomahawk GTS-R Vision Gran Turismo
The 2035 SRT Tomahawk GTS-R is designed for race use and while it includes many of the same components as the Street model, the GTS-R comes with a bump in power. The GTS-R V10 delivers 1,137 horsepower and 719lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels while the pneumatic front drive adds 313 horsepower for a total system output of 1,450 horsepower while having a 9,500 redline. The GTS-R weighs 1,459lbs and can top 300 miles per hour.
SRT Tomahawk X Vision Gran Turismo
Finally, the SRT Tomahawk X gets a huge bump in power, with the V10 engine packing a whopping 2,168 horsepower and 895lb-ft of torque. Add on the 422hp output of the pneumatic front drive and you have an output of 2,590lbs. This engine can rev to 14,500rpm as the 1,659lb hypercar reaches speeds over 400 miles per hour and unlike the Street and GTS-R model, the X has the active body panels shown in the image above, along with several body panels that we cannot see around the back and underside of the car.
So, if you have Gran Turismo 6 for PlayStation 3, log on and check out the SRT Tomahawk package, which is easily the best performing car on the game. The Tomahawk is so perfect, that Polyphony Digital had to adjust the physics of the game to handle the extreme performance. If you aren’t a gamer or don’t play GT6, check out the gorgeous new Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo in every trim in the gallery below!
Spied on the track, the SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo, a single-seat hybrid powertrain concept vehicle, gets ready for its debut in Gran Turismo®6.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
