Never heard of the Ford GT? I'll be the first to knock Ford's consumer cars, but the GT was one hell of a race car. The Euro version of the Focus has some excellent variants as well. You might want to do your homework before you knock them. ;)

Believe it. The Xbox 360 has a tessellator that can procedurally smooth out a model by generating massive amounts of triangles from a lower definition model and a little control data. We're talking on the order of hundreds of thousands of triangles from a few thousand poly mesh.

ATI has included a tessellator unit in many of their graphics cards over the years, but no one really used it. Artists especially hated it as they wanted full control over their models, rather than programmers. However, between the 360 and DirectX 11, its likely to see its day in the sun. That is until Larabee comes along and people stop thinking in triangles...
