This is the Mizutani Shion "Wendigo" in Wraiths Paint Job... I prefer this color over the "Coyote" in blue and yellow that is available for purchase.
This car performs like a dream in all conditions!
Managed to capture this rare, almost impossible to get, exhaust flame moment pause!!
Please share as a reply to my reply, a flaming exhaust shot of your car/bike, if you were lucky to capture one!
In terms of overall performance and drivability either the car above or the Type 66 "Javelina" are the best... in the Entropism class, that is... Read below... to know more??
However, since I'm a car designer and in terms of design, I would categorize the in-game cars according to the fashion themes of Cyberpunk Lore... 1. Kitsch, 2. Neo-Kitsch, 3. Neo-Militarism, 4. Entropism... and for each category, I have a favorite car, judged solely on aesthetic beauty.
The cars below, are listed in no particular order of level of beauty.
1. I call this one -- IL PADRE -- Beautiful, Elegant and easy to glide through Night City Traffic plus it not too expensive. Its unique feature of having a double front turning wheels makes it super cool... Gangsta Vibes much?
P.S. You can win a top down, absolutely, ridiculously, gold-plated version of "IL PADRE" from "Beating the Brat" mission in Glen for free (Kitsch).
2. I call this one "THE CAT" ... One of my most favorite cars to drive and oh yes... Hear!! ... Not only does this car have super luxurious styling but, this "cat" can purr, run fast and can change directions according to your thoughts... JK
... Super Elegant with its full, sky-view, moon roof & Super Friendly towards V!
(Neo-Kitsch)
3. I don't need to call this one anything other than its actual name, which sounds uber-cool btw, "THE AVENGER" is another variant of the Type 66 by Quadra and it seems to be a people's favorite in terms of looks with a unique wide body kit, making it one of the widest cars in the game covering ample lane space... (Neo-Militarism? / Neo-Kitsch?)
Soooo... weaving thru traffic?... you might as well take the opposite side of the road... also, did I mention it is hard to drive? ... take off is abrupt, but, uncontrollable at times... grip is ridiculously unreliable and turning can get nightmarish, often ending up killing unwary NC citizens unintentionally. A bit like when Skippy prematurely fires bullets without trigger input... xD but, my oh my, how beautiful its ROAR and dashing, it definitely looks! BAM and that's why it's on the A-list. If you want to avoid its drawbacks read the postscript below.
P.S. If you are on PC... don't hesitate to use a simple mod to improve overall vehicle handling on all cars, yet keep all unique qualities of cars intact... At least until CDPR matches or beats the performance improvement of a drivability mod. I am an immersive gamer and I am using only this single mod because I like to drive free, without breaking a sweat and since fast traveling has no visual or animation perks of being inside the elaborately designed NCART system... I half-heartedly and detestably avoid it unless absolutely necessary... just the way it is available to us... half-hearted, no subway using, animation enabled, loading screen that awesome game developers couldn't implement. Sorry, I try to keep my patience... but, sometimes...
Anyway, y'all must have noticed that I missed out on honorable mentions to the Rayfield Caliburn and the Rayfield Aerondite and that's because they are end-game cars (Neo-Kitsch)... I have a Rayfield Caliburn (free version) and driving it still requires getting used to... too fast for V to spot the next turn before it arrives... plus, I like to drive vehicles in context with the storyline... my V is a Nomad... if I'm doing a Bad Lands mission, I use an off road racer... if I'm doing a job in the city I'd change cars and so on and so forth! Maybe in the future when I play as a Corpo V then I will spend more time driving those high-end vehicles. -- I hope I didn't bore you all with my ramblings! Have a great day! Stay Safe all you beautiful people!
P.S.S. Bikes deserve a separate post! I'll keep y'all posted!
