User blog:Azelfland/History of D class kings

it's finally here! the history of D class kings.

for those who don't know, this is a blog where we take a look at the history of every car and their reign as kings.

there are 4 categories on this blog: troll kings, multiplayer kings, kings of the class and meme kings. troll kings are the cars that are good at trolling people in multiplayer. multiplayer kings are the cars that are competitive in multiplayer. kings of the class are the cars that can beat every single car on its class. and meme kings are cars that are used on........ well, memes.

i'm gonna try to be as accurate as possible. if i made any mistakes, feel free to correct me.

now, let's get to the history of D class kings.

Audi S4 and Nissan 370Z(original D class kings)
back when there were only 47 cars, the Audi S4 and the Nissan 370Z ruled the streets. and now they're underdogs. so, here's why they were kings: they had 2 of the highest ranks in D class, they were rivals and able to outspeed the other D class cars and it was a time where multiplayer tuning wasn't a thing. the diferrences, however, are:

the Audi S4 had a better drifting capability than the Nissan 370Z.

the Nissan 370Z was 5 kilometers per hour slower than the Audi S4 and had a better nitro boost in terms of power.

that's all i have about them. onto the next king.

Ford F-150(D class troll king)
this car became well-known for this reason: its awesome nitro boost. but a stock Ford F-150 is really bad in multiplayer and if you overtune it, it's only good for trolling. now, this car has bad stats except for the nitro boost. it has the lowest top speed in the game, slowest acceleration in the game and one of the worst handlings in the game. also, it had a mediocre nitro duration, which is why is a troll king of its class.

2015 Ford Mustang GT( D class king)
the very first updates of Asphalt 8 brought us this awesomeness. even though this car was 10 kilometers per hour slower than the Audi S4, it was a lot better, because it had that very good nitro duration. and despite being a muscle car, the 2015 Ford Mustang GT could easily outspeed every single D class car AND hanlde and drift decently well. but there was a problem. it costed real money, so none of us could get it until the token system was added in the game.

Geely GC9( D class king)
this car came out of nowhere when it was introduced. it was fast, had some pretty good stats, but the only problem was its acceleration. but then again, it used to perform very well in multiplayer. it's still very good if tuned properly, but i still prefer the old-school "fully upgrade all the cars" method.

Renault DeZir( Low-Rank multiplayer king)
this electric car is definitely great at low ranks. if tuned propelry, this car is AWESOME! it still is awesome, but the only thing that's not so awesome is that it will struggle on long tracks.if you overtune it, however-which i did-, it easily gets beaten by Cobras, M2s and even Range Rovers. still, it's great nonetheless.

Subaru Impreza WRX STI( D class king)
it's basically another one of those sitting ducks in the game, but fully upgrade it and it's an ABSOLUTE BEAST for TLEs. still, this car easily rivals the DeZir and the Volkswagen Beetle Turbo. heck, it could outspeed almost every D class car with ease.

Alfa Romeo 4C( one-week D class king)
yep, this one only lasted for a week. the Alfa Romeo 4C was very good when it was released on its R&D. but it was king of D class for a whole week. still, it was a great car anyway and it's a great alternative to the Mazda RX-8.

Donkervoort D8 GTO( D class king of acceleration)
back when this car was released on the Rio De Janeiro update, this car was awesome. now, it lost its reputation as king of D class and became the D class king of acceleration. its handling isn't bad, either and it's fun to drive around Rio De Janeiro trying to grind those credits. and yes, i was talking about its farming race in season 9.

Mazda RX-8( D class king)
so, as we're here at this point, is the Mazda RX-8 going to ruin everyone's excitement? yes.......... yes, it will. this is what i've been waiting for! the Mazda RX-8 is known as THE elite car for a reason. it's got a great top speed, handling and acceleration and despite its nitro duration being absolute crap, this car is able to get those wins. it's been king of D class for a year and it still dominates. it's not just good. it's great!

Dodge Dart GT( meme king)
it had to be done. for those who think that the Dodge Dart GT is the king of the game-which is the purpose of the meme, by the way-, i'm sorry to say this, but it's the most useless car in the game. this car is the king of memes and the meme usage is too much for me to handle. i get that TheHawtDawg1 wants this car to be the fastest-everyone does-, but if Gameloft ever releases a special edition of this car, i would love to see it being the second king of Asphalt, alongside the Vulcan. and like TheGoldenThunder said, without this car, we would've had nothing.

Porsche 959( new low-rank multiplayer king)
and now it's time to end this blog with one of the best cars from the 80s, the 1987 Porsche 959.while most of the Porsches were bad-except for the 918 Spyder with Weissach Package-, the Porsche 959 is that Porsche that's worth getting. it can definintely beat Range Rovers AND DeZirs of its rank and because of this, it became popular in multiplayer, even if it's nitro reliant. looks like the Renault DeZir has some competition.

End of the History.
and that ends the history of D class kings. as i said before, feel free to correct me if i made any mistakes.

until next time.
