Vehicle Specs
| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 8.0 | Upper end tapers off a bit — tune the final drive to fix this |
| Handling | 7.5 | Feels lighter than the spec sheet says it should. Rotation is crisp and predictable |
| Acceleration | 8.0 | Mid-range torque is the sweet spot — 3rd and 4th gear pulls are brutal |
| Launch | 7.0 | Sticky tires and good weight transfer make for consistently strong launches |
| Braking | 7.8 | Consistent lap after lap. No fade even after 20 minutes of pushing hard |
| Off-Road | 3.0 | Actually fun on gravel with the right tires. Who knew? |
| PI (Stock) | 810 | Strong S1. Holds its own against anything in class |
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Sounds like motorsport. The audio team earned their paycheck on this one
- PI efficiency is excellent — punches well above its number in the right hands
- Turn-in response is immediate. The front end goes exactly where you point it
- Power delivery is smooth and predictable, making it easy to drive fast
- Absolutely glued to the road in medium and high-speed corners
Cons
- Fuel consumption is rough in longer races. Plan your pit strategy accordingly
- Rear tires give up if you're not smooth with the throttle. Punishes ham-fisted driving
- Oversteer on lift-off can catch you out if you're not paying attention mid-corner
- Hard to get. If you missed the seasonal event, you're stuck refreshing the auction house
- A bit one-dimensional. Excels at one thing, mediocre at everything else

How to Get It
Autoshow
Straight from the Autoshow at 72,000 CR. Price is a bit steep but it holds value well.
Seasonal
Dropped as a seasonal championship prize. Worth the grind if it comes back around.
Wheelspin
Wheelspin-only acquisition. I've seen people pull it in 5 spins and people still trying after 500. RNG is cruel.
Best Events For This Car
| Event Type | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Road Racing | B-Tier | Usable, not optimal. You can win with it, but you're working harder than the competition. |
| Street Scene | A-Tier | Strong choice. Not quite meta-defining, but you'll podium consistently with it. |
| Speed Zones | S-Tier | This is where the car lives. If you're not using it for this, you're leaving time on the table. |
| Speed Traps | A-Tier | Strong choice. Not quite meta-defining, but you'll podium consistently with it. |
| Drift Zones | S-Tier | Genuinely one of the best cars in the game for this event type. Full stop. |
| Dirt Racing | C-Tier | Can be made to work with a dedicated tune, but honestly why bother when other cars exist. |
