Welcome to the next part of "Be The Rival" guides for Need for Speed™ Rivals!

Cars listed in this guide won't be divided into sections or Tier lists like previous guide but rather how they're shown in the car selection menu.

DLC content cars were released after game's release within a span of few months and then included as a whole package released a year after base game's launch.

This collection includes a great albeit small variety of cars into already small car roster of base game so any new additions were welcome at the time. If they were really worth purchasing is questionable as there are only two Tier 4 cars (excluding free One:1) and most of the vehicles in this pack are more of a "sidegrades" instead of upgrades. Again, great if you wanted to expand your garage but base roster was fine enough for gameplay.

With an exception of Koenigsegg One:1 being included as free DLC, all of the listed cars needed to be purchased before the release of mentioned Complete Edition.

One huge flaw with these cars is that they're not part of game's progression system and they're available right from the start (exception being One:1 that is only unlocked after "Grand Tour").

SUMMARY

Twin Turbocharged V6 provides enough power to keep up its top speed with some of the Tier 4 cars and offers reasonable Durability and Strength, however it's best utilized on highway or events with straights.

Handling feels heavier and definitely handles grip better than drifting as you're forced to slam brakes harder before turning into corner. Also, it suffers from mild turbo-lag so acceleration is probably the biggest weakness of this car.



SUMMARY

Jaguar's second offering is a Tier 4 vehicle that provides you with excellent Top Speed and Acceleration thanks to its hybrid engine in exchange for weaker Strength and Durability.

C-X75 Prototype has better maneuverability than XJ220 without a doubt, but suffers from similiar problem as its predecessor - initiating drifts at highers speeds. However it's still a great vehicle to use outside of Hot Pursuits or PvP.



SUMMARY

Part of the old-school world record setters, this "light as a feather" car has great Handling that's more grip focused and acceptable Top Speed and Durability/Strength for a Tier 3 vehicle.

Where this car fails unfortunately is its Acceleration as it suffers from HEAVY turbo lag from the very first gear. It struggles to keep up speed on the 6th gear unless you're on a highway and becomes heavily dependant on Turbo Pursuit Tech or Nitrous outside of it, so keeping these options as your reserve is a definitive must.

Unfortunately the worst Tier 3 vehicles you can use in the game.



SUMMARY

Next generation of prancing horse's flagship vehicles is a V12 F50. Whereas its predecessor could be positioned as a lower-Tier 3 vehicle, this one is definitely one of the best ones to use in that category and can be ranked as high-Tier 3 vehicle with the likes of Porsche 918 Spyder.

If you pick this car over, you'll never have a reason to switch or use F40 again. With an exception of slightly worse Strength and Durability, this car does everything better - ranging from Top Speed, Acceleration and friendlier, easier drifting Handling.



SUMMARY

Track-only Super Trofeo can be regarded as a sidegrade to the Racer's Gallardo Superleggera included in base game as they both have identical statistics on paper, but Trofeo handles straights better due to its more grippier nature and even slightest turns on those don't cause massive speed loss.

It's hard to recommend and compare both Gallardos as it comes down to personal preference what you like more and what suits your style of play better. Super Trofeo is better suited for grip and Superleggera does drifting better.



SUMMARY

Not many games have this car available for you to don this vehicle for use which makes it quite an unique experience in Rivals. Easily one of the best Tier 3 cars you can use in the game, 2006 Miura Concept will surprise you with how versatile it is. Really great handling and overall feel of the car with okay Durability and Strength and less okay Acceleration in comparison to other cars. Recommended for use with events where corners are more prominent.



SUMMARY

Might be one of the most common cars to be seen in multiplayer lobbies and on speedwalls for a good reason (or bad one - depends on how you look at this). All carbon fibre Lamborghini is easily one of the most overpowered vehicles in the game (and might be in every other game that this car is featured in - even outside this franchise).

With an exception of very average Durability and Strength (rightfully so), this car excels at every stat imaginable - especially Handling. Drive it for yourself and you'll see what I mean exactly. Only real adversary might be One:1 for this vehicle, because Sesto Elemento's Top Speed is similiar to that of Aventador's, thus not breaking 400 km/h / 250 mph line.



SUMMARY

Spania's quirky effort with borrowed engine from Viper's V10 might polarize people with its styling and design, but inside this game it's really one of the most fun cars to use in the game.

Filling similiar role as base game's Porsche 918 Spyder that it bridges the gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4, this vehicle's drifting mechanics are really entertaining without losing too much speed. Even when you're using Turbo Pursuit Tech, you can manage taking corners full speed with ease having it activated.

But don't get too obsessed doing that because it takes some practice doing so and with its weaker Acceleration as well as Strength/Durability, it may become unforgiving making mistakes like these when crashing constantly.



SUMMARY

Joint work forces and product of Mercedes-Benz and McLaren finds a way in this game too and has the best Top Speed among Tier 2 cars. With that stat mentioned, there's unfortunately not much to say about this car because it doesn't have any unique characteristic with its very average stats overall - plus with it being a Roadster it feels a bit heavier than other cars in its Tier or car roster.



SUMMARY

World's first megacar and special variant of Koenigsegg's Agera, this amazing beast of a vehicle is capable of crossing little over 450+ kph / 280+ mph making it the fastest vehicle in the game for both Racers and Cops.

Unlocked after completing "Grand Tour" event or being Level 21, it's one of the most used vehicles in the game in current meta with mind-boggling stats where some compromises had to be made in exchange for its ludicrous speed, thus being weak Strength and Durability.

Mentioning that, One:1 sports huge forces of downforce so keep that in mind when you're driving this vehicle as it's very unstable if you want to maneuver with it, let alone avoid something in your way - crashing it is not advised all.
