Nissan, Microsoft Create Xbox 360 Car

Nissan and Microsoft have teamed up to create a concept car that includes a built-in Xbox 360 gaming console. While parked, the driver can play Project Gotham Racing using the car's actual steering wheel, gas and brake pedals. The game is displayed on a flip-down 7-inch LCD screen.

The car, named URGE, will be shown off at the Detroit auto show on January 9 as the first vehicle to fully integrate a gaming system. "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," Microsoft said in the announcement.
