Talk:Volkswagen Beetle Turbo/@comment-27736210-20170419042649

The Volkswagen Beetle Turbo and Renault CLIO R.S. 200 EDC have very similar stats.

The nitro efficiency of both cars is the 2nd worst, at 9-14-19. Both cars, however, have identical accelerations of 3.62 seconds (MAX + PRO) and identical 69.2 km/h perfect nitro (MAX + PRO). The accelerations of the two cars are reasonably good, and when combined with the huge nitro boost, can become very good.

Both cars also have very good handling, with the R.S. 200 EDC at 1356 Gs (MAX + PRO) and the Beetle Turbo at 1336 Gs (MAX + PRO). However, both cars also have bad top speeds, with the Beetle Turbo at 261.5 km/h (MAX + PRO) and the R.S. at 257.2 km/h (MAX + PRO).

Clearly, the stats of the two cars are very similar.

However, there are 3 main differences between the two cars.

The Beetle Turbo adds 84 ranks from tuning kits, but the R.S. 200 EDC only adds 54 ranks. Also, the MAX + PRO ranks of the two cars are 1202 and 1230 (not much difference, however).

The Beetle Turbo also starts off as rank 527 while the R.S. 200 EDC starts off as rank 821.

The most important difference (3 differences) is cost. Both cars require 4x I4 engines and a slightly different amount of tech cards + tire/suspension/exhaust/drivetrain cards. Most of these are easy to obtain. However, the R.S. 200 EDC only costs $91,152 to fully PRO while the Beetle Turbo costs $201,175 to fully PRO.

Additionally, the cost of the R.S. 200 EDC for initial purchase is $45,000 while the initial purchase price of the Beetle Turbo is $75,000.

Finally, the R.S. 200 EDC only costs $140,600 to fully MAX while the Beetle Turbo costs an immense $660,920 to fully MAX.

Clearly, the Beetle Turbo is much more expensive than the R.S. 200 EDC but performs nearly identically; I also can't see the low initial rank helping much since it's very bad when at this rank, and the tuning kit also isn't worth an approximate tripling in cost from the R.S. 200 EDC. Overall, this car looks like a massive waste of money.
