Best Cars?

[ashes619]

I would like to know what you think is the best car for each class. E.G Ford Mustang - C4, Subaru WRX STI - A6 (These are not necessarily the best cars but they are the cars I used)

Thanks

C4 - Lancia Delta
C3 - Ferrari 308
B4 - it's all good
B3 - Mercedes ML 63 AMG
A7 - Alfa Romeo Brera italia (this sucks too, just not as much as the golf or the slower alfa)
A6 - Nissan 370Z or Subaru Impreza, i took the 370z as its more powerful
A5 - Lotus Evora - Obvious choice since you win one and it has amazing handling
A4 - Audi RS6 Avant - Other choices are among jaguars and aston martins that handle like ****, the Audi is one the best handling cars in the game
A3 - Ferrari 612 - Caterham is untouchable on tight tracks but the Ferrari handles really well too while topping at over 200, making the top speed type events easier.
A2 - Ferrari 458 Italia - Nothing compares
A1 - Mclaren MP4-12c has the best handling and is cheapest (Atom will do it, but suffers major due to its low top speed, try it by all means), but there are much faster choices, if you wanna spend a lot of money then put it on the Zonda Cinque (fastest track car), or be like everyone else and buy the straightline rocket ship Bugatti Veyron (Fastest straight line car by miles).

Thanks Bigbazz. I really needed that

The subaru impreza is by far [in my opinion] the best car in the entire game.

In the entire game.

I think the Ferrari 430 is the best

The engine note of the 430 sounds like they used a church organ and modulated the pitch to match the revs and to finish it off, added some pops and bangs on the over-run. Weird.

I really have to disagree with this list expecially with the A4, A2 and A1 categories

If you really want a correct list of the best cars and how they compare to each other check this https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=181221

If you are looking for a dificult challenge them you can spend the money on those cars listed above but if you want it more easy you better check the list and do the maths yourself...

And i really have to disagree with you.

If you want to go by top speed and 0-60 acceleration times, be my guest and i'l be waiting for you at the finish line. A1 catagory i didn't actually state a car. Obviouisly for straight line biased tracks the Veyron wins, and on tracks with many corners the Zonda Cinque wins. Every catagory has cars that may perform better in different situations, but the list shows the best combination of handling and speed. If you want to race in 4mile straights then i would agree the above list is wrong, but if you're competing in the games single player challenges, winning 4mile straights does not help you much at all.

Facts

Mercedes SLR Mclaren - Fastest Top speed A2
Ferrari 458 - Best acceleration and fastest cornering A2 (though acceleration could be disputed vs level 4tuned cars, none of them can compete in a circuit race due to cornering, on circuits nothing even comes close)
Caterham - Fastest acceleration and fastest cornering A3
Ferrari 612 - Fastest top speed A3 (again, could be disputed due to tuning levels, but the Ferrari boasts superior handling aswel)
Bugatti Veyron (SS/16.4) fastest Acceleration and top speed A1
Zonda Cinque - Fastest cornering and braking A1


And no, the Atom V8 is not faster, its been tried and tested, the car is quite weak compared to what you expect, it is identical to the Atom 300 aside from its top speed. Cornering wise it can not compete with the Zonda. Mclaren Mp4-12c has really good handling and cornering speeds, but its acceleration and top speed are relatively weak, its performance is very close to the A2 Ferrari 458, however it is more than capable of winning the final championships and is only a fraction of the cost of some of the other A1 cars.

Im not saying that you dont have more skills than me, what Im saying is that from what I tryed the mclaren for example can hardly beat the bugatti in the A1 challenge and beleave me I tried - the car that can do it easier is the koenigsegg (besides handling very well is in fact the Fastest straight line car in the game by miles apart from the bugatti super sport DLC or pre order car) - just to name one
same goes for the other A challenges I named - and if the OP is not as skilled as you he will probably want a car that can beat the challenges easier
And as for the list - its not only accelaration and top speed - it also has handling - breaking - prices, etc, etc, etc...
But the Op can check for himself and get back to us - if he has the cash to spend on both cars for the IMO incorrect A4,A2 and A1 car choices you pointed out.

 

[Bigbazz]

The Veyron is well known to have weak handling, i own the Super Sport version, the PC version is bugged and does not benefit from the performance upgrades to top speed, but its still a very fast car. But you put that on a track and the guys in the Zonda Clique will run circles around you, i bought a zonda and it blew my mind, its so much faster in the corners there is just no comparison.

The Mclaren Mp4-12c is definitely not what i would call the best A1 car, i never said it was, i merely included it because of its very good handling and cheap price. I used this car to win the A1, and High A1, and the Veyron destroyed me at the start, but as soon as it came to the corners i was able to take them a lot faster, finishing most races with quite a substancial lead.

I did the final hawaii cup using both the Mclaren and the Zonda. The Zonda really is in a class of its own for cornering and braking ability, its acceleration is superb too, there is no doubt that the Zonda is a much faster car than the Mclaren in every single way, but it also costs 6.5x as much. The Veyron really only shines in straight line and is slower than other cars in the corners, its still not slow and its a great car for the tracks but its not the best car for the tracks. Veyron is the straight line king only.

 

[tribolik]

You are talking about the Pre order Veyron? the super sport? because the ones I have in my game are not as fast as the koenigsegg
I have to admit that the A3 car you pointed out is in fact one of the best in that category - but I myself got the CLK 63 AMG black edition - almost as good and half the price - won A3 easy

Koenigsegg is a really fast car, but its slower on the straights (in both acceleration and top speed) than the Veyron (16.4 or SS), its also weaker in the corners than the Zonda, but its a healthy compromise of both.

I realise that its stated stats stay that it should beat the Veyron 16.4 in top speed, but it just doesnt in reality. Like many cars in the game you cannot trust the stats, they are almost all very far off.


The Nissan GTR stated as having top speed of 193 will go well over 200mph as stock. The Koenigsegg states 259mph but its gear ratios are too long and the car struggles in the top speed area. Its handling is good but it suffers slight understeer in corners making it lose out to other A1 cars, the Zonda is slower in top speed than the Koenigsegg but not only better in corners but can easily match the mid range speed acceleration.


I should mention in A1 i own the Koenigsegg, Atom 300, Atom V8 500, Zonda F Roadster, Veyron Super Sport aswel as the Zonda Cinque and the Mclaren Mp4-12c (the cars i used in A1/Hawaii cup). In a previous save game i did own the Veyron 16.4 also, but replaced the save to get my money back.

 

[Tweetman_277]

I disagree with the veyron wins at anything speed based idea... i did an online speed points thing. In a stock imprezza, and beat a well driven, it seemed, veyron ss!!! And then i beat an ariel atom 500 on the same track!!!

Well we can always do a drag race - me in the Koenigsegg you in the Veyron (but not the super sports) and we will see - the Veyron gets first off the line up to second gear than the Koenigsegg takes it from there... I own both also and I know what Im talking about - again let me remind you that Im not talking about the Super sports - the fastest car in the game - Im talking about all the other veyrons

The Veyron 16.4 accelerates faster than the Super Sport up to a certain point, due to gearing, i don't currently own a standard Veyron + the servers are not up. But i have no doubt you would not stand a chance.

Against the Super Sport Im sure I wouldnt but against the standard veyron in a big straigh that would allow me to hit top speed Im sure I would

The standard veyron goes as fast as 410 kmh (dont know how much in miles) and the Koenigsegg goes past 420 Kmh and after the second gear accelarates much faster also.

Standard Veyron will pull off from 2nd gear, accelerate through and it keeps accelerating hard until around 235mph before it starts to lag, the Koenigsegg starts to lag by time it reaches 190mph, you then take it up to 205mph in 5th, change to 6th and the speed will drop back down to about 196mph and then you start accelerating again, it will not reach its maximum of 259mph.

Thats the problem, the Koenigseggs gearing is too slow and it does not reach its potencial, the Veyron will.


There really is no competition the Koenegsigg just doesnt stand a chance.


I will try to win some money in the casino, and i will buy a standard Veyron, if you're on the PC my name in game is the same as this forums

Dont waist your money, Im on the PS3

 

[rhys159]

I am just gonna post what I've used in the game so far and what I plan to use(this is not just trying to prove anything here and its not far at all I haven't played the game as much as some of you guys)

C4:Lancia Delta
B4: Hummer H3
A7: Alfa Brera
A6: Nissan 370z
A5: Lotus Evora

Plan to use:
A4: DB9 Volante
A3: Ferrari California
A2: Audi R8 Spyder, I won in casino so why waste money on another car
A1: One-77 will tune though

B3: Any

C3: Ferrari 308

I also might buy some cars JUST to cruise lol I love cruisin

On the PS3, the Koenigsegg actually reaches 266mph, so obviously the PC version is geared differently. I think, based on the PS3 version, the CCXR is probably faster than the standard Veyron.

I've hit 261 Mph going downhill in the Koenigsegg, but then i've maxed out the non upgraded Veyron 16.4 hitting the limiter at 267mph down the same hill. It doesnt really count as on a flat road the Koenigsegg lags where as the Veyron does not.

On the PC (and console as far as what i've read from others) the Koenigsegg also does not benefit from tuning/performance upgrades, the Veyron 16.4 does benefit from tuning (Though the SS version does not on PC), so will go over 280 on that same downhill section.


The problem with the Koenigsegg, which is complained about constantly on the TDU2 forums is the gearing, firstly theres a large gap between gear changes in sequencial mode, in automatic mode there is also the problem of it changing gears too early, and lastly theres the problem of the gear ratios being too long and not making the best use of the power.

If you have a H-shifter this actually eliminates gear change lag, so it makes you quite a lot faster accelerating but the power shortages over 200mph are still present and it just doesnt accelerate fast enough compared to the Veyron.


I bought a Veyron Grand Sport for the exact purpose of testing it alongside the Koenigsegg, and it is without a doubt a faster car. The downhill speed thing does not really count since it is the only road of its kind, and that is the only place i have been able to reach the Koenigseggs advertised speed, where as with the Grand Sport i went quite a bit passed the advertised speed and was only stopped by banging on the limiter, it got to 260 a fair bit faster than the Koenigsegg did.

The SLR does not have the Fastest Top Speed in A2. That title is tied between the Ford GT and the Zonda C12S Roadster, both of which will hit 233MPH while the SLR will do 222.

Perhaps tuned, both of those cars topped out in the 214mph range, Mercedes i've had at 218. Its hard to tell with tuning as on some systems tuning works and some it doesnt, the list is mainly refering to untuned cars.

In comparison, i have the 1.4m Zonda Cinque which is stage 3 tuned and tops out around 233-236mph, i have not tuned the above cars but id very much doubt the cheapest Zonda will match the much more powerful and more expensive Cinque.

Even untuned the C12S does about 220 or so, the Ford GT does 218 stock. Also, those two were Stage 4 tuned (The 233mph.) But yeah, some cars go slightly faster with a Stage 4 tuning, the Cinque I heard will do 248 and the One-77 will do 249.

 

[Lizard]

Whats the spyker D8 like was suprised to see its a B3 class.
Answered it myself its like the subaru great on mostly level ground aka ibiza but is too light and goes flying quite literally on Oahu's hilly and bumpy tracks.

 

[adam46]

There is a V8 Atom on the game?

 

[Xavier2342]

There is a V8 Atom on the game?

I too have been looking for this as well. A buddy of mine about this car today and he told me that it's won in one of the races.

On another note, isn't there supposed to be a Gumpert Apollo in the game? Also, how do you go about attaining the Shelby Daytona?

 

[roylan101]

You get the ariel atom v8 by beating the 2nd hawaii cup, after finishing all the other championships. the Gumpert Apollo is a car unlocked only in the club, and the daytona is found by finding 10 wrecks in one of the 4 hawaii areas, i forget which.
