MAX this car if you don't have enough spare parts to PRO it.

The current three best cars for each class:

Class D -

(1) Mazda RX8 (King of Every Track): Rank D1407, Speed 378.2 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 8/13/18, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 325,000 Credits or 1850 Tokens (for purchase), ~1.4mil Credits (for upgrades), x10 Each Class D Part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x4 Rotary Engines (Legendary).

''[With the recent purchase price change, the Mazda RX8 is now further cemented as the best Class D car. The Mazda RX8 is relatively cheap to purchase and upgrade compared to its rivals, and it also has very high performance in every aspect apart from Nitro Efficiency. The Mazda RX8 is only very good with Extra Tanks (and the other two boosters); otherwise, it's only slightly better than the nanoFlowcell QUANTINO, Ariel Atom V8 and Donkervoort D8 GTO.]''

(2) Ariel Atom V8 (Fake F1 Car; 10 Pro Kit Upgrades): Rank D1372, Speed 366.8 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/8/10, Extremely Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - Championship-Obtainable, 1.3Mil Credits (for upgrades), x10 Each Class D Part, x22 Initial and Early Tech, x68 V8 Engines (Common).

''[It's uncertain what the exact status of the Ariel Atom V8 is. Apparently, it's slightly better than the nanoFlowcell QUANTINO on French Guiana, also beating the Donkervoort D8 GTO by ~1 second (despite reports that the Atom is inferior to the D8, it seems like the opposite is true). Overall, the Ariel acts as a combination between the Porsche 959, Donkervoort D8 GTO and McLaren M14A (Class C). It is the first F1 car in Class D (it's not a real F1, but follows the stat-build of an F1). The Ariel Atom V8 was easy to obtain from its Event, aside from the huge requirement of V8 Engines (this hurdle could be overcome by stockpiling). Outside of its Event, it's currently not available. The Ariel Atom V8 is superior to the Mazda RX8 and nanoFlowcell QUANTINO in that it isn't Elite.]''

nanoFlowcell QUANTINO (Elite): Rank D1317, Speed 372.7 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/9/12, Mediocre Acceleration, Mediocre Drifting, Bad Handling.

Price - 975 Tokens (for purchase), ~1.8mil Credits (for upgrades), x10 Each Class D part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x4 Electric Engines (Rare).

''[This car is the overall second best in Class D. However, it's quite sluggish, so it does have a disadvantage against the Mazda 6, Ariel Atom V8, Donkervoort D8 GTO, and Honda S2000 on tracks like Venice and Sector 8. The nanoFlowcell 'QUANTINO' is significantly more expensive than the Mazda RX8. Both vehicles are Elite, so they must be maintained. The nanoFlowcell's advantage over the Mazda RX8 is its better Nitro Efficiency; also, it uses a more common Engine in its upgrades.]''

The Mazda 6, Donkervoort D8 GTO, Buick Avista Concept, SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI, Honda S2000, Porsche 959, and Alfa Romeo 4C are all decent competitors.

Class C -

(1) Sbarro Sparta (King, Elite): Rank C1582, Speed 428.6 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 5/10/15, Very Good Acceleration, Mediocre Drifting, Bad Handling.

Price - 16 Rare Blueprints, 2.1Mil Credits (for upgrades), x13 Each Class C Part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x8 Mid-Tech, x8 Hybrid Engines (Rare).

''[The Sbarro Sparta is the king on every track except for Sector 8, where it ties with the Renault Alpine Celebration. The Sbarro Sparta is less nimble than the Renault Alpine Celebration, but it displays very high top speed and similar acceleration.]''

(2) Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Racing Series (Elite): Rank C1557, Speed 425.0 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 5/10/15, Mediocre Acceleration, Mediocre Drifting, Bad Handling.

Price - 495,000 Credits or 2,400 Tokens (for purchase), 1.8Mil Credits (for upgrades), x12 Each Class C Part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x8 Mid-Tech, x12 i4 Engines (Common).

[The MB CLA 45 AMG RS is the second-best vehicle on every track, though it does face considerable competition from the Renault ALpine Celebration, which is far more nimble, but slightly slower.]

(3) Renault Alpine Celebration(Tied King Sector 8): Rank C1582, Speed 420.1 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/11/16, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 6 Legendary Blueprints, 2.1Mil Credits (for upgrades), x13 Each Class C Part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x8 Mid-Tech, x12 V6 Engines (Common).

''[The Renault Alpine Celebration gives the Sbarro Sparta and MB CLA 45 AMG RS some competition, but generally cannot beat either of them. It isn't Elite and it's very nimble, making it a decent alternative.]''

The Honda Civic Type-R, Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7, Mitsubishi Eclipse, BMW M2, Renault Trezor, McLaren M14A, ED Design Torq, Buick 2013 Riviera, and Toyota Supra RZ (Mark IV) are all decent competitors.

Class B -

(1) BMW M2 Special Edition (King): Rank C1687, Speed 466.9 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/10/15, Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 70 Common Blueprints, 3Mil Credits (for upgrades), x15 Each Class B Part, x12 Initial and Early Tech, x20 Mid-Tech, x8 i6 Engines (Legendary).

''[The BMW M2 Special Edition is the king on most if not all tracks. It has very balanced performance and is seemingly an improvement on the model of the Ferrari GTC4Lusso.]''

(2) McLaren MP4/8: Rank C1665, Speed 448.7 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 5/10/15, Extremely Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 18 Rare Blueprints, 0.9Mil Credits (for upgrades), x11 Each Class B Part, x6 Initial and Early Tech, x16 Mid-Tech, x48 Serial Racing Engines (Rare).

''[The McLaren MP4/8 is a very nimble alternative to the BMW M2 Special Edition, performing just slightly worse on most tracks. The MP4/8 has very good acceleration as its main upside. The MP4/8 is very difficult to upgrade outside of its Event, however.]''

(3) Mercedes-AMG GT3(Elite): Rank C1692, Speed 465.2 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 8/13/18, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 6 Legendary Blueprints, 3.7Mil Credits (for upgrades), x13 Each Class B Part, x10 Initial and Early Tech, x16 Mid-Tech, x16 V8 Engines (Common).

''[The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is a decent rival to the BMW M2 Special Edition and McLaren MP4/8 on all maps, performing slightly worse. Its Nitro Efficiency is not very good though, so it needs Extra Tanks.]''

The Holden Coupe 60, Ferrari GTC4Lusso, Lamborghini Estoque, TVR Sagaris, Apollo N, Falcon F7, Lotus Evora Sport 410, and 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports are all decent competitors.

Class A -

(1) Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition (King, Elite): Rank A1828, Speed 539.8 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 9/14/18, Extremely Bad Acceleration, Extremely Bad Drifting, Extremely Bad Handling.

Price - 18 Legendary Blueprints, 4.2Mil Credits (for upgrades), x14 Each Class A Part, x6 Initial and Early Tech, x12 Mid-Tech, x8 Advanced Tech, x12 Forced-Induction V8 Engines (Legendary).

''[The MB SLK 55 AMG SE is extremely fast; it's the fastest vehicle in the entire game. However, this doesn't completely compensate for its other terrible stats. Therefore, some other cars can outrun it in certain situations.]''

(2) McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 (King of Medium/Twisty Tracks): Rank C1766, Speed 488.7 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/12/16, Extremely Good Acceleration, Extremely Good Drifting, Extremely Good Handling.

Price - 30 Rare Blueprints, 1.2Mil Credits (for upgrades), x14 Each Class A Part, x2 Initial and Early Tech, x16 Mid-Tech, x8 Advanced Tech, x40 Custom Racing Engines (Legendary).

''[If one can manage to obtain and fully upgrade the McLaren Mercedes MP4-25, it will serve very well on most tracks. It compliments the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage or MB SLK 55 AMG SE for TLEs. The McLaren Mercedes MP4-25s dominates shorter, twistier tracks.]''

(3) Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (Elite): Rank C1807, Speed 518.9 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/10/15, Bad Acceleration, Mediocre Drifting, Bad Handling.

Price - EDD-Obtainable, 4.2Mil Credits (for upgrades), x14 Each Class A Part, x6 Initial and Early Tech, x12 Mid-Tech, x8 Advanced Tech, x16 V8 Engines (Common).

''[The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport can only be obtained from its Event. It serves as a more balanced variant of the MB SLK 55 AMG SE.]''

The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, Icona Vulcano V12 Hybrid, SIN R1, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, Jaguar XJ220S, Aston Martin One-77, McLaren 657LT, Mosler GT3, Bentley EXP10 Speed 6, Chevrolet Corvette C3, Ferrari 330 P4, Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014, Sbarro Alcador, and Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 are all decent competitors (to varying degrees; the Hommage is the most competitive by far).

Class S -

(1) Apollo Intensa Emozione (King): Rank S1815, Speed 510.1 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/11/13, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - R&D-Obtainable, 3.8Mil Credits (for upgrades), x27 Each Class S Part, x56 Mid-Tech, x28 Advanced Tech, x48 V12 Engines''' (Legendary).

''[The Apollo Intensa Emozione is the new King of Class S, dethroning the Aston Martin Vulcan and McLaren MP4-31. The Apollo Intensa Emozione is very similar to the Aston Martin Vulcan, but it's slightly faster.]''

(2) Kawasaki Ninja H2R (King of Twisty/Airborne Tracks; Bike King): Rank S1788, Speed 494.2 km/h (~527 km/h Supercharged), Nitro Efficiency 10/15/20, UNKNOWN Acceleration (probably good), UNKNOWN Drifting (probably good), UNKNOWN Handling (probably good).

Price - Special Event-Obtainable, 2.5Mil Credits (for upgrades), x8 Each Class S Bike Part, x8 Mid-Tech, 16 Rare Tech, 16 Pro Tech, x16 Forced Four-Stroke Engines (Rare).

''[The Kawasaki Ninja H2R is a loose cannon. It displays extreme Supercharged speed. However, its Nitro Efficiency is terrible and it can easily be Knocked Down by cars, as it is a Bike (also, it cannot Knock Down cars under normal circumstances).]''

(3) McLaren MP4-31 (King of Short Tracks; F1 King): Rank S1813, Speed 501.5 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 8/14/18, Very Good Acceleration, Extremely Good Drifting, Extremely Handling.

Price - Championship-Obtainable, 1.4Mil Credits (for upgrades), x23 each Class S Part, x24 Mid-Tech, x32 Advanced Tech, x52 Custom Racing Engines (Legendary).

''[The McLaren MP4-31 has very good handling and acceleration, making it formidable on very short and flat tracks, such as Dubai and Rio. It is also good on twisty tracks like Tenerife and Sector 8.]''

BONUS: (4) Aston Martin Vulcan: Rank S1806, Speed 507.3 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/10/14, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 14,250 Tokens, 5Mil Credits (for upgrades), X23 Each Class S Part, x32 Mid-Tech, x24 Advanced Tech, x32 V12 Engines (Legendary).

''[The Aston Martin Vulcan has very good stats all-around. It has recently been dethroned for all purposes by the Apollo Intensa Emozione. The Vulcan, like the Intensa, is superior to the Kawasaki Ninja H2R and McLaren MP4-31 in most situations outside of their niches.]''

(5) Arrinera Hussarya GT: Rank S1803, Speed 503.0 km/h, Nitro Efficiency 6/12/16, Very Good Acceleration, Good Drifting, Good Handling.

Price - 20 Legendary Blueprints, 5Mil Credits (for upgrades), X24 Each Class S Part, x36 Advanced Tech, x24 Mid-Tech, x56 V8 Engines (Common).

''[The Arrinera Hussarya GT was introduced after the Aston Martin Vulcan. For a few months, the Hussarya GT served as a cheaper alternative the Vulcan with similar performance. The Hussarya GT is slightly slower and has worse Nitro Efficiency. The Hussarya GT cannot beat the MP4-31 on any TLE track, though it is certainly better for Multiplayer, where the MP4-31's frequent skids put it at a disadvantage. The Hussarya GT can defeat the Vulcan and Kawasaki Ninja H2R in Multiplayer, frequently. It is unknown whether the Hussarya GT stands a chance against the Apollo Intensa Emozione... though it will certainly fare better than every other vehicle not listed above.]''

The Lamborghini Aventador SV, Devel Sixteen Prototype, Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package, TRION NEMESIS, Mosler Land Shark, Arash AF10, W Motors Fenyr Supersport, McLaren P1™ GTR, Pagani Huayra BC, Renault Sport R.S. 01, and HTT Pléthore LC 750 are all decent competitors.
