Aston Martin Vulcan[]
Summary
The Aston Martin Vulcan was added to the game during the Championship Update. It was unlockable through its Multiplayer Season as an exclusive prize for the top 100 players. The Vulcan is now permanently on sale for 14,250 Tokens.
The Vulcan is a high-end Class S Track-Day Car.
Tuning
The Vulcan is currently the best car in Class S, with the lowest starting rank in Class S by far. The low starting rank allows the Vulcan to dominate at ranks from 1500 to 1700, and also at 1800. A low-ranked tuning for the Vulcan should roughly consist of a 0504 5050 base tuning, with various other tweaks such as a few acceleration upgrades or exhaust upgrades. With a MAX + PRO tune, the Vulcan has a rank of S1806.
Performance
The Vulcan is the fifth-fastest car in the game, behind the SLK SE, Devel, Corvette GS, and Hommage. All of these faster cars have worse acceleration, drifting and handling, which makes the Vulcan the fastest car with high performance in all aspects.
The Vulcan has superb acceleration, though slightly worse than the MP4-31, and it has excellent drifting and handling, though it is easy to "oversteer" with the Vulcan. The Vulcan also has a very good nitro efficiency of 6/10/14.
Strategy
The Vulcan, though the "best" car in the game, still has to be used strategically at all times. The Vulcan can lose to the Hommage and similar cars on long tracks, and the Vulcan can also lose to the MP4-25 and similar cars on short tracks.
Perks
The Vulcan is generally the best balanced car for high-ranked Multiplayer games, and it is also not Elite, so it doesn't break down after a few games.
At MAX + PRO, the Vulcan is the overall king of Class S TLEs and it also has a decent Season 9 Farming Race set in Westminster Bridge, with a lap time of around 45 seconds or less.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage[]
Summary
The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage was added to the game during the Elite Cars Update. It was unlockable through its Research & Development, which was also revived during the Lunar Near Year 2017 Update. The Hommage is sometimes sold for 12,000 Tokens. The Hommage is unavailable for Blueprints.
The Hommage is a high-end Class A Concept Car, sometimes nicknamed "Piggy".
Tuning
The Hommage has an extremely low starting rank for a Class A/S car, beating both the Camaro SS' and Vulcan's, but still far from the SLK SE's starting rank. However, due to its very high raw top speed upgrade weighting, the Hommage cannot compete with the Camaro SS to its full potential, until a rank near 1560. At that rank, the Hommage is essentially a Camaro SS with slightly better acceleration/drifting/handling and worse nitro efficiency. With an Extra Tank, it usually defeats the Camaro SS. The Hommage's large Tuning Kit also makes it quite usable at a MAX + PRO configuration, which gives it a rank of A1773.
Performance
The Hommage's top speed is the fourth-highest in the game. However, the Hommage suffers from medium-poor acceleration and drifting. The Hommage's handling and drifting are slightly better than the Corvette GS'. The Hommage's nitro efficiency of 8/13/18 is not the worst, but still far from the best.
Strategy
The Hommage cannot compete with the MP4-25 on short and technical tracks, and it can barely compete with the Vulcan on these tracks. The Hommage is best used on long and simple tracks like Tokyo and Area 51.
Perks
At a low-ranked tune, the Hommage is slightly inferior to the Vulcan but it can be considered to be slightly superior to the MP4-25. At MAX + PRO, the Hommage is technically slightly more useful than cars like the 918 Spyder and Aventador SV, due to its higher speed than the Vulcan. However, the Hommage is often a worse Multiplayer choice at MAX + PRO than these cars.

McLaren Mercedes MP4-25[]
Summary
The McLaren Mercedes MP4-25 was added to the game during the Championship Update. It was unlockable through its Championship. The MP4-25 is available for 30 Rare Blueprints.
The MP4-25 is a high-end Class A Formula One Racing Car.
Tuning
The MP4-25 has a lower raw top speed than the MP4-31 and a larger nitro, at MAX + PRO. Despite this, the MP4-25 is actually quite suitable for Multiplayer at a lower-ranked configuration, due to its reasonably low starting rank.
Performance
With a top-speed-oriented tune at a lower rank, the MP4-25 is faster than most "civilian" cars but it isn't as fast as the SIN R1, Vulcan, Hommage, Camaro SS, or SLK SE. However, despite this, the MP4-25 is still a deadly adversary for the Hommage and Vulcan in Multiplayer at ranks between 1560 to 1660, due to its extremely impressive acceleration. Combined with its "not too bad" top speed and excellent handling/drifting, this can reward the MP4-25 guaranteed victories against the Hommage on short and technical tracks, and this can give the Vulcan a big challenge on those tracks. Regarding nitro efficiency, the MP4-25 is decently proficient, with 6/12/16.
At full PRO, the MP4-25 has superior acceleration and nitro efficiency to the MP4-31, but it is significantly slower. The two cars are roughly equally-matched at rank 1800, though the MP4-31 does have a slight advantage overall. Both cars are very susceptible to skidding.
Strategy
The MP4-25 is best used on short and technical tracks like Sector 8, Dubai, Rio, and London.
Perks
The MP4-25 offers quite decent performance all around, at any given configuration past a rank of 1560. It is non-Elite, so it can be used infinite times without breaking down, unlike some of its competition.
At full PRO, the MP4-25 is the best car for Class A TLEs on short and technical tracks.

SIN R1[]
Summary
The SIN R1 was added to the game during the Car Blueprints Update. It was unlockable through a Blueprints TLE. The SIN R1 is available for 18 Legendary Blueprints. The SIN R1 can be bought for 12,850 Tokens occasionally.
The SIN R1 is a high-end Class A Sports Car.
Tuning
The SIN R1 is a unique car in the game. Despite being found near the top of Class A, the SIN R1 only runs slightly faster than the TRION at MAX + PRO, due to its low raw top speed and large nitro, compared to cars like the Hommage and SLK SE. However, the SIN R1 has a decently low starting rank, like the MP4-25, so it can be tuned for Multiplayer at a medium-low rank. The SIN R1's upgrades for raw top speed and nitro each carry 5% less weight than the Vulcan's upgrades, so the SIN R1 is best used in the 1580-1680 rank range, where it can "catch up" to the Vulcan, which has a lower starting rank (and as such, is significantly faster in Multiplayer at lower ranks). The SIN R1 is an acceptable car for Multiplayer at MAX + PRO, but it is more viable at a lower rank.
Performance
The SIN R1 is very similar to the Vulcan in Multiplayer, with good nitro efficiency, drifting, and handling. The SIN R1 has slightly better acceleration than the Vulcan, but it is slightly slower.
The SIN R1's nitro efficiency is 5/10/15.
Strategy
Overall, the SIN R1 should be used in much the same way as the Vulcan. Short and technical tracks, with 2 laps, are optimal.
Perks
The SIN R1 is a decent rival for the Vulcan, and certainly a cheaper option to obtain if one is lucky enough to find all of its Blueprints. It is non-Elite, which gives it an advantage over some of its competition.

Arrinera Hussarya GT[]
Summary
The Arrinera Hussarya GT was added to the game during the Munich Update. It is currently unlockable through its Championship. The Hussarya GT is available for 20 Legendary Blueprints.
The Hussarya GT is a high-end Class S Super Car.
Tuning
The Hussarya GT follows a similar upgrade pattern to the Vulcan. However, the Hussarya GT has a higher upgrade rank weighting on raw top speed and it has a higher starting rank (though still decently low). The Hussarya GT can be used at MAX + PRO with slightly superior performance to the 918 Spyder, although it is also decent at a medium-low Multiplayer tune, at ranks similar to the SIN R1.
Performance
The Hussarya GT is slightly worse than the SIN R1 in most performance aspects apart from its total speed (which is similar) and its raw top speed (which is higher). However, the Hussarya GT is still acceptable for use in Multiplayer at similar ranks to the SIN R1 and Vulcan.
The Hussarya GT's nitro efficiency is 6/12/16.
Strategy
Overall, the Hussarya GT is capable of handling any track, though it excels best on short and technical tracks, with 2 laps, like the SIN R1 and Vulcan.
Perks
The Hussarya GT is a very good rival for the Vulcan and SIN R1. It is currently available via its Championship, which makes it much easier to obtain than the other two cars. However, the Hussarya GT consumes a very high amount of Credits and Pro Kit Cards for its upgrades.
