User blog:Azelfland/History of A class kings

it's finally time.

continuing from where we left off, we'll check out the history of every A class king introduced in Asphalt 8. also, keep in mind that i'm actually a bit inaccurate. so, feel free to correct me if i made any mistakes.

let's jump right into it.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento (original A class king)
not only is this car my signature car, this car is the A class king of the original A class cars in the game. which made me realize: just because a car has the highest rank in its class (RUF RT12 S from back in the day) doesn't mean that it will be good. even when multiplayer tuning wasn't a thing, the Sesto Elemento was a huge threat back then. now, it's a Hommage alternative, but still fun to drive. the fact that it's made out of Carbon Fiber parts makes it unique. awesome design, very good acceleration, good nitro duration, excellent handling and drifting. while challenge 15 of mastery takes long when it comes to farm credits, challenge 14 is better. but why on earth would Gameloft make it a tokens-only car? sure, 175.000 credits sounds expensive, but new players won't be able to experience it for a long time.

dick move, Gameloft. dick move.

McLaren P1 (A class queen)
introduced in The Great Wall update, the P1 became everyone's new A class queen, beating even the Sesto Elemento in mere seconds. while the LaFerrari comes close to being a threat to it, the P1 still stands a chance against it. it has the same traits with the Sesto Elemento, only it had a better nitro duration. and despite being a psuedo A class queen, as of 2017, it's still very good. but again, tokens-only for new players, which is another dick move.

Nissan GT-R NISMO (king of Japanese cars)
this car, introduced in the Dubai update, became the beginning of this logic: putting an aerodynamic spoiler on a car makes it go faster. i don't know why, but okay. this car has a better top speed, nitro, handling and acceleration than the GT-R (R35). in other words, it's the regular Nissan GT-R (R35) on steroids. and it's still the best car from Japan in this game.

McLaren 675LT (king of farming)
while this car isn't the king in anything, it's the best car for farming in the game. MAX PROing it means that you get the best race to use for farming. and challenge 15 in its mastery is this race. but then Gameloft made the third dick move, as of the Munich update, making this car tokens-only. good god, someone has to make a petition to tell Gameloft that the messed up with those price changes........... big time.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4( king of Lamborghinis)
yes, being a king of the brand is a thing. don't ask how, but it is. while it's better than the Sesto Elemento in many ways, the regular Aventador is really good. it has a good mastery challenge 15 for farming, it's decent for multiplayer. and while we're on the subject, it's HannaLeinH's favorite car. and for the fourth dick move? you guessed it! tokens-only car. that would devestate and trigger her A LOT!

Ferrari 330 P4( A class king)
this car, while it costs tokens only, which didn't change, i guess, is just so good! this is the first car to actually compete against S class cars and it's so good. it's still one of the best cars out there, which makes token-grinding more worthwhile. and while we're on the topic this car feels good to drive. there's nothing else i need to say about this car.

Aston Martin One-77( queen of Aston Martins)
this EDD car -now a blueprint car- is a great one, too. while it's nitro reliant, this car feels so good to drive, but problem is, it's far from being the A class queen. still, it's a great car to have if you don't have the Hommage or the Corvette Grand Sport or even the SLK 55 AMG Special Edition, despite being the second EDD car. also, it was the best Aston Martin before the Vulcan was in the game.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS ( A class king of top speed)
seriously. F@#K THE 2016 CAMARO SS! this car is just overpowered as crap. because of its high top speed. it may be more expensive for new players, but it's still worth getting. while this car is number one on my least favorite car list, you have to admit how awesmoe it is. one has to pick 2 laps in multiplayer to stand a chance, as this car's acceleration and handling are absolute crap. and to those who like it, i'm sorry. i really am. it's just that.......... i hate seeing this car everywhere in multiplayer.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage (A class queen and queen of BMWs)
i still hate this car, even if it's one of the queens of A class. and what makes it good, you ask? well, it's top speed, of course! it starts off at a low rank and ends at one of the biggest ranks in the game. it's nitro duration could've been better, it's handling is below average, but its top speed makes up for everything. hopefully, Gameloft will revive this R&D for christmas, so that my hate for it will go away, once i get it.

McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 (A class queen)
it's weird how a Formula 1 car can beat some supercars and Sports cars, but i got no quarrel with that. no, seriously. i really got no quarrel with that. this car has excellent handling and drifting AND has the second best acceleration in the game. i'm not kidding. it really accelerates even faster than the TRION NEMESIS itself. it easily competes against the Hommage on short and twisty tracks. heck, if you're skilled enough, you can beat some Vulcans, if tuned properly. it may need 30 rare blueprints, but it's so worth. hopefully Gameloft will revive its championship, so i can get this car without relying on blueprints, which is why we need "Lazyloft" to strike again for the rewards, just like they did with the revival of the Aventador SuperVeloce EDD. you know, because they didn't change the rewards.

the original 1967 Chevy Impala( queen of multiplayer)
back when this car was introduced, this car was amazing. but let's face it. all of us reacted like this: "a 1967 Chevy Impala? really?". to be fair, it has it's flaws, but it's cool-looking. HOWEVER! as of the Lunar update, the 1967 Chevy Impala got MASSIVELY nerfed. from the best Elite car to the worst Elite car. and you know what? despite being massively nerfed in every single factor, it STILL somehow is viable. sure, it's bad, but you gotta love how it has some viability left in it. 14 blueprints doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport( A class queen and queen of Chevies)
oh, boy. i never thought i'd say this, but the Corvette Grand Sport is so good. fun fact: this car helped me get "the boat", after winning its EDD, during my pre-christmas exams. but that's for another time. this car is one of the best cars for multiplayer, because of its top speed and nitro efficiency being higher than the Hommage. think of this as an Elite version of the Hommage with a better nitro duration and with an okay handling and drifting.

Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition ( king of multiplayer)
and now, the king of multiplayer, the fastest car in the game. it is the one, the only MERCEDES-BENZ SLK 55 AMG SPECIAL EDITION. now, when i said it's the fastest car in the game, i wasn't kidding AT ALL! it really IS the fastest car in the game. yes, even the Devel Sixteen Prototype doesn't stand a chance. and if tuned properly, it is so overpowered that it beats anything that it gets matched up with in multiplayer. except for Vulcans on one-lap races and short tracks. with Gameloft making an assembly cup for this car, the invasion of this car hs already started........ even though i only got one box out of it, because personal life and all that kind of stuff.

End of the history.
i'm happy that i got another class out of the way, but i'm a little sad the history series will end. because the last one is about the S class kings, AKA Asphalt kings. again, if i missed any cars or if i got anything wrong, feel free to correct me.

until next time.
