Aquiris Game Studio, developer of FPS Ballistic Overkill has announced their retro-inspired racing game Horizon Chase Turbo [Official Site].
It's actually a revamp of an older title of their's named Horizon Chase World Tour, only this time it's not locked to mobile platforms and it will be getting a Linux version too! Honestly, it looks like a really fantastic attempt to bring out a classic-style racing game for a new generation of players.
Check out the trailer that just released:

This is what i've been looking for on Linux for split screen multiplayer! Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 is back =)

OMG, it even has a soundtrack by Barry Leitch ! Amiga hero !That's a good sign. :)
As I've said before, realistic racing games are probably the genre I like the most, but I have to say OutRun Online Arcade is one of my favourite XBox 360 titles (and let's be honest: it has a lot). If this does non-specific-'90s-2.5D-racing-games as well as that updated OutRun - and it certainly looks right - it'll be an absolute winner.

I play this game on Nintendo 3DS and is a great game. Many tracks, good music, etc.

For me it reminds me Top Gear, even when the car crashes against the rock, it seems crash animation on Top Gear 2.

I want to be hyped but have been disappointed in the past with someone successfully executing a Crusin the World mechanic style game.
If they pull it off I'll be super down to play 4 - 16 player. local, online, whatever.
I just want to keep my excitement-o-meter in check since so many who try to do this formula just fail spectacularly.
Though, so far from the video it looks to have promise.

Never really played outrun, but played tons of Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge and its successor.
Also, the Steam page says it releases on 15 May, not the 25th. Typo or did they change it?
