The Five Axis xA Speedster
WORDS BY: OXM Staff
Got a spare $250,000? That’d buy you one seriously sleek way to take your Xbox 360 gaming wherever you go. The Five Axis xA Speedster began life as a standard Scion xA. Then the team at Five Axis removed the roof, eliminated the doors, added openings in the side panels, removed the rear seats, and wired the Xbox 360 gaming system of your dreams into this widebody conversion.
“Each of our cars has to have a wow factor,” explains Troy Sumitomo, president of Five Axis. “With this one, it was that you can game from the driver’s seat. Anyone can put in a screen — we wanted you to play from first-person.” Oh yeah, and when the gaming’s done, everything tucks away and the xA can cruise the streets like anything but a regular ride. “Wow” doesn’t even begin to cover it…
Control Frenzy
Settle into these Sparco Fighter seats, quick-release the steering wheel and attach the MadCatz MC2 wheel to the steering column, nestle your feet against the brake and gas pedals, and load up your favorite Xbox 360 racing game — you control all the in-game action right from the driver’s seat!
Screen Dreams
A rear-mounted projector beams the video onto this white panel — using a plasma TV wasn’t possible because the engine’s heat would damage it. But that means the front hood can be lowered, and a 40-feet-wide picture can be projected onto a wall 60 feet in front of the car, giving you your own rolling drive-in theater!
Rear Action
Using these two LCD monitors and wireless MadCatz controllers, two other players can compete against the gamer in the driver’s seat in a networked Xbox 360 match. A full 5.1 surround-sound system is also housed underneath the screens.

Matthias, the screen on the hood is a projector screen. They knew that if a TV was placed there, it would be destroyed due to the heat.

"So please, OXM, pimp my ride!"
Boy, oh boy, that's a geek's dream car right there. Only in red? Even if it is only in red, that's one smokin' car.
Now where did I leave that $250,000 bill...
