TRION NEMESIS

The TRION NEMESIS RR (known as simply TRION NEMESIS in-game) is a hypercar made and produced by Los Angeles, California-based boutique supercar maker TRION SuperCars. Boasting 2,000 HP from a 9.0 L twin-turbocharged V8, the TRION NEMESIS is among one of the most powerful non-fictional vehicles to ever have appeared in a video game, topped only by the 5,000 HP Devel Sixteen. The car made its video game debut in Asphalt 8: Airborne and has since appeared in CSR Racing.

Overview
The TRION NEMESIS was revealed in 2014 by California-based outfit TRION SuperCars. The company is described as making an "advanced ultra-luxury, high-performance line of vehicles designed around the driver". Aesthetically, the NEMESIS has an aggressive aerodynamic shape that makes the car resemble the McLaren P1, even more so on the wide-arched style rear end. Whereas the P1 has butterfly doors, the NEMESIS has suicide-scissor doors.

Internally, the TRION NEMESIS contains a digital dashboard and Internet connectivity, as well as a "Predator Mode" switch (the counterpart of the P1's "Street/Race/Track Mode" switch), allowing the car to change its height, suspension, exhaust noise, and rev limit, as well as its interior lighting. The car has a cockpit suitable for tall drivers up to 6'4" (193 cm).

The car uses an eight-speed sequential automatic transmission and is all-wheel-drive.

The TRION NEMESIS features a 9.0 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine that produces 2,000 HP (2,028 PS; 1.49 MW). With that much power (along with an unspecified but extreme amount of torque), it is expected to do 0-60 mph in less than 2.8 seconds and reach a blistering top speed of over 270 mph (434 km/h), aimed squarely at the likes of the Koenigsegg One:1, Hennessey Venom GT, and Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, the former of which currently holds the record for the fastest production car, at 273 mph (440 km/h).

The car was shown in person at the 2016 Silicon Valley Auto Show. Production is expected to begin by late 2016 with the first production models hitting the streets in 2017.

The TRION NEMESIS rivals the Koenigsegg One:1, Hennessey Venom GT, Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport, Devel Sixteen, and the "Holy Trinity of Hypercars".

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The TRION NEMESIS was added to the game in v2.2.0 and is the last car introduced in that update, despite that the Monkey's Year Update actually arrived by the time the TRION NEMESIS' cups were taking place. The TRION NEMESIS is among one of the highest-ranked vehicles in the game. It has an extremely high starting rank of 1636, the highest of any car in the game and the first starting rank above 1600; additionally, maxing it out increases the rank of 1737, the second highest MAX rank in the game; and installing all Pro upgrades further increases the rank by 68 rank points to 1805, also the second highest MAX+PRO rank in the game. However, having an upgrade rank increase of just 101 rank points, Tuning Kits add only 25 rank points to the car's rank, allowing for a legitimate maximum of 1830 rank points.

The TRION NEMESIS has the fastest launch and best acceleration in the game, owing to its extreme horsepower and torque figures and its AWD drivetrain; thanks to these, the TRION NEMESIS beats the Audi R8 LMS Ultra, Lamborghini Egoista, Shelby Cobra 427, Donkervoort D8 GTO and Savage Rivale GTR in terms of acceleration. As a car intended for the best acceleration, its nitro power (including its excellent nitro efficiency ratings of 6/12/16) is also superb, equal to the W Motors Lykan HyperSport (an old Class S king), and while it has superb handling, its drifting capabilities are actually worse than those of the McLaren P1™ GTR and more similar to those of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. Despite this, the TRION NEMESIS is capable of the fastest lap times around almost every single track in the game, including Iceland and Venice.

On the Tokyo and Monaco tracks, however, the TRION NEMESIS does have a disadvantage. Its real top speed, at MAX+PRO with a Tuning Kit, is quite less than the HTT Plethore LC 750, just a little faster than the McLaren 675LT. Additionally, at MAX+PRO with a Tuning Kit, its real total speed is 305.28 mph (491.50 km/h), meaning that it can get left behind by the Devel Sixteen Prototype, BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, HTT Pléthore LC 750, and Renault Sport R.S. 01, all of which have higher total speeds and top speed stats than the TRION NEMESIS. Fortunately, compared to the HTT Pléthore LC 750, which has a speed multiplier of 91.46%, the NEMESIS has a slightly better speed multiplier of 91.60%, the same multiplier used by the Mosler GT3, McLaren F1 XP-5, and Lamborghini Estoque.

Despite these shortcomings, the TRION NEMESIS is the best non-tokens Class S car in the game. Even when just maxed out, it already performs well in Time-Limited Events and multiplayer, all thanks to its extreme acceleration power. Players who encounter the TRION NEMESIS in multiplayer are very likely (if ever) to finish after the TRION NEMESIS drivers finish the race, so long as those drivers don't wreck a single time. The NEMESIS is even more likely to be encountered if the player enters a multiplayer race with a car ranked above 1586, so unless the player is lucky and wins the race in first, it is no longer recommended to bring in old cars like the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 2013, McLaren P1, and Savage Rivale GTR, as depending on the driver of the car, the TRION NEMESIS is likely to simply outrun them all but can be challenged with a car like the McLaren 675LT (very unlikely though), BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, or Devel Sixteen Prototype (except on twisty tracks though).

The TRION NEMESIS is the most expensive Credits-purchasable car in the game, costing a whooping to buy and  to max out: a total of ! However, ultimately, it proves to be a worthwhile car for the time being, as the Devel Sixteen Prototype and BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage can only be purchased with tokens (the latter also obtainable via Research & Development).
