Performance
The nanoFlowcell QUANTINO's top speed and acceleration are quite impressive, and its launch is relatively good. The QUANTINO also has a high nitro efficiency rating of 6/9/12.
Unfortunately, the nanoFlowcell QUANTINO's launch, top speed, and acceleration are inferior to those of the Mazda RX-8, a similar Class D elite car. While the QUANTINO's 6/9/12 nitro efficiency rating is considerably better than the RX-8's 8/13/18, its drifting ability is far worse. Most notably, the RX-8 has a higher top speed than the QUANTINO when both cars are upgraded, kitted and tuned for maximum speed. For these reasons, the QUANTINO is often overlooked in favor of the RX-8.
Price
The nanoFlowcell QUANTINO costs 1,325 to purchase. As of the 2019 Spring Update, upgrades cost 736,000 while Pro Kits require 245,600, 40 of each Class D Part, 50 Early & Initial Techs each, and 40 Electric Engines. Tune-ups cost 1,200 and take 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete.
