Savage Rivale GTR

Not to be confused with the Nissan GT-R (R35) or Nissan GT-R NISMO.

Introduction
The Savage Rivale GTR is an upgraded version of the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS in the Asphalt series.

Overview
The Savage Rivale GTR is an upgraded, track-only version of the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS. Retaining the same front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout from the GTS, the GTR features racing livery and an added rear wing, as well as a stronger engine with 700-800 HP plus a new transmission. Only 69 units will be handbuilt, while there are 5 street-legal versions, named the Savage Rivale GTR-S.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The last car introduced in the San Diego Harbor update, the Savage Rivale GTR serves as the most powerful Class A car. Similar to the Koenigsegg One:1 and Lotus Evora Enduro GT, the Savage Rivale GTR features unique colors that range from differently-colored racing livery to innovative colors like camouflage patterns.

The Savage Rivale GTR, like with the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car, features performance improvements over its regular, road-legal counterpart. The GTR features very fast acceleration, thanks to its powerful nitro. The top speed has also been improved, but is still horrible in comparison to the McLaren P1 and Nissan GT-R NISMO. The handling is also superb, up among the ranks of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento and Peugeot Onyx. However, due to its rather short nitro duration despite its high-power nitro boost, the Savage Rivale GTR is unsuitable for use on Iceland, Tokyo, Venice, or Monaco.

The GTR has a starting rank of 1442 and a maximum rank of 1619, the same as that of the Nissan GT-R NISMO. If tuned with a Pro Kit, it gains a final rank of 1701, same as the Nissan GT-R NISMO but with a Tuning Kit on, the Savage Rivale GTR clearly becomes more powerful due to having a lower starting rank than the GT-R NISMO. The Savage Rivale GTR is the third most powerful Class A vehicle, behind the Volkswagen W12, with 1706, and Tramontana XTR, with 1711.

From November 2, 2014 to November 7, 2014, the Savage Rivale GTR was playable in the Savage Rivale GTR Division Cup (set in The Great Wall). The car was given out to the top player in each 5000-player division. The Rivale GTR also had a multiplayer event set in Nevada, which lasted from November 10, 2014 to November 14, 2014. As of November 21, 2014, the Savage Rivale GTR is available for purchase in the Garage, with a price of 750,000 Credits. The upgrade price is also 2,848,900 Credits, surpassing the upgrade prices of other high-end supercars like the Koenigsegg One:1 (2,693,450 Credits) and SSC Ultimate Aero XT (2,620,700 Credits); it is only second to the 9FF GT9 VMAX's record price of 3,047,050 Credits. Due to its extreme upgrade price, unless the player is willing to get the car for the extreme total price of 3,598,900 Credits (!!), the GTR is best replaced by cheaper alternatives like the P1 (475,000 Credits to purchase + 364,400 Credits to max out = 839,400 Credits total) or Volkswagen W12 (825,000 Credits to purchase + 1,768,050 Credits to max out = 2,593,050 Credits total), both of which have better nitro durations and top speeds than the GTR.

The Savage Rivale GTR has only one event of its own in Season 9, set in San Diego Harbor. It never appears as an AI racer outside of Season 9 or Quick Solo Race.

Trivia

 * Unlike its non-racing counterpart, which sounds as though powered by the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X's V10 engine or the Audi RS 4 Avant's V8 engine, the Savage Rivale GTR's V8 engine sound in-game is different; the GTR's is the same as that of the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car.
 * Unlike most other high-end Class A cars, the Savage Rivale GTR makes the same pre-race engine rev sound as several other cars, including the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Race Car, Chevrolet Camaro GS, Lamborghini Urus, etc. This is only if there are many Savage Rivale GTRs or other cars with the same pre-race engine rev sound.
 * The Savage Rivale GTR is the only car that shares its maximum rank with another car in the same class (Nissan GT-R NISMO and Savage Rivale GTR with 1619 when maxed out, 1701 when maxed out with all Pro Kit levels applied) yet is not a premium car.
 * Coincidentally, both cars have the same final rank as the Pagani Huayra (1701).
 * Strange enough, while the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS is in the Brave New World collection, the collection's portrait shows a Savage Rivale GTR instead.
 * Along with the Ferrari FF and Jaguar C-X75, the Savage Rivale GTR is also the only car whose upgrade price itself is over 2,000,000 Credits yet is not a Class S car.
 * Costing 750,000 Credits, the Savage Rivale GTR is the fifth most expensive vehicle available for credits, after the Volkswagen W12's 825,000 Credits, the SSC Tuatara's 950,000 Credits, the Hennessey Venom GT's 2,250,000 Credits, and the Koenigsegg One:1's 3,000,000 Credits.
 * Some car reviewers mislabel this car as the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTR.
 * The Savage Rivale GTR is in fact the most powerful track-tuned vehicle in the Asphalt series, even more powerful than the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione (this is considering both cars are maxed out and with all levels of Pro Kits applied).
