Asphalt 8: Airborne
Summary
Added in the Dubai update, the Mercedes-Benz Biome is one of the three electric cars by Mercedes-Benz, with the others being the SLS AMG Electric Drive and Silver Lightning. It is placed as a mid Class B car.
The Mercedes-Benz Biome has the following rank statistics:
- Starting rank: 1192
- MAX rank: 1486
- MAX+PRO rank: 1590
- Tuning Kit bonus: +57
Despite now being all but obsolete, the Biome was once one of the most influential cars in the game. When it was introduced, it was the unrivaled Multiplayer king and B Class king, a position it held for a long time, as well as the car with the best handling in the whole game, a title it still holds.
Performance
The Mercedes-Benz Biome has very good top speed (however, better cars have emerged with superior top speed to the Biome), very good nitro efficiency (5/10/15), good acceleration, and, arguably, the best handling in the entire game. In fact, the Biome can take most corners without having to drift. The handling comes at a cost as the Biome has below-average drifting.
Due to its incredible handling, it has a tendency to go into skids. Skids are common if the player holds the Biome at maximum steering lock or swerves rapidly in both directions.
Usage (Multiplayer)
Due to its low starting rank and large Tuning Kit bonus, the Mercedes-Benz Biome is decent for Multiplayer.
However, as of now, it is nowhere near as good as new cars like the Shelby Cobra 427 or TVR Sagaris because it has an upgrade rank weighting of 65% for raw top speed, instead of the 30% weighting which the Shelby Cobra 427 and TVR Sagaris possess. So, even though it has a very low starting rank, the Mercedes-Benz Biome can't get extremely fast at low ranks.
The Mercedes-Benz Biome used to be a king of Multiplayer, triumphing its competition by far, but after the Multiplayer League Update, and along with it the introduction of the Sagaris, it lost its "king status". It has since been overshadowed by many cars, including the Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS and TVR Sagaris. The Mercedes-Benz Biomes runs at ~250 mph (~400 km/h) at a rank of around 1400.
Usage (Other)
The Mercedes-Benz Biome qualifies for its own race in Season 7, which is the final race of Season 7 itself. It also qualifies for the two Mercedes-Benz events in the game, both of which are also in Season 7 but appear earlier than the Mercedes-Benz Biome's event.
Its Season 9 event, set in Dubai, also doubles as a decent farming race, with a base payout of about 4,750 for 1 minute of driving.
Price
At 450,000, the Mercedes-Benz Biome was one of the most expensive Class B cars in the game available for purchase by credits upon its introduction. It was the second most expensive Mercedes-Benz vehicle in the game (excluding the Premium Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupé Final Edition) after the Mercedes-AMG GT3. The Biome also costs 1,276,425 to MAX. The Biome's buying price was reduced on March 24, 2018, to 150,000.
