We’re pleased to announce a complete, fully-drivable virtual version of the Acura RDX is now available, part of the unique advertising partnership between Reuters and Acura.

We’ve distributed more than 50,000 Reuters heads-up and wall and floor displays, and they serve as virtual vending machines for the car, which is also available at Reuters Island.

Click on the displays’ Acura tab to receive the car, which was lovingly crafted by the wizards over at Electric Sheep Company using sculpted prims. We think it’s one of the best-looking cars in Second Life.
Along with the car, we’re introducing the first in a series of virtual driving tours which highlight some of the best places to drive in Second Life.  First up is the MyControl Speedway, which features a serpentine track with some tricky curves, including Giraffe Corner and the three-part Axis of Evil.

For beginners, the speedway offers a list of tips, which will help you to get started and get the best driving performance possible out of Second Life. Once you get comfortable behind the wheel, there are racing teams to join as you test your abilities against the best drivers in Second Life, including Linden dollar prize money.
