Cars

A car in Ocean View City isn't decoration. It unlocks the Races location on the map, permanently raises your Endurance in S.P.E.C.I.A.L., and is the only asset you can put on the line in a wager.

Where to buy

Every car is sold in the Shop, Cars category. Cars are grouped by class: Supercars, Sports, SUVs, Muscle, Electric, Regular. Paid in TecktoCoins with a 7% shop tax on top.

Each model is bought once. Your first car becomes active immediately — otherwise the Races location would have nothing to drive.

Stats

• Max speed (km/h) — the ceiling in top gear. The number that decides a long run.
• Acceleration 0-100 (s) — lower is better. It's the base multiplier of acceleration and decides the first seconds of the race.
• Braking — brake force.
• Handling — not used in a drag race: the strip is straight, there are no corners.
• Gears — from 1 (electrics with a reduction gear) up to 8. More gears means a tighter box and more chances to hit the green zone. Gear ratios are per model.
• Endurance (+N) — a bonus to the Endurance stat. Granted on purchase and it travels with the car: trade it away or lose it, and the bonus is removed.
• Rarity — Common / Rare / Epic / Legendary. Sets how much the shop returns for the body on a trade-in.
• Weight — a reference figure only; it does not take part in race physics.

The full catalogue with prices and stats — the Cars section in Items.

Garage

The Garage location stores your cars. There you can:

• switch the active car — that's the one you take to the strip;
• check that particular car's stats: races run, best time, distance covered;
• upgrade engine, turbo, tyres and transmission — see Car upgrades.

Trade-in

You can put an old car toward a new one in the same place — the Shop: on the card of a car you don't own yet, a Trade-in button appears next to Buy. It only shows when you have something to trade. The offer has two parts:

• residual body value — a share of the sticker price: 55% for common, 60% for rare, 65% for epic, 70% for legendary;
• half of what you put into upgrades — exactly 50% of the coins actually spent on that car.

The sum is then adjusted by condition: wear takes 0.6% per race, capped at 12%.

You pay the difference between the new car's price and the offer — plus the same 7% tax as on a normal purchase. If the offer exceeds the new car's price the difference is zero and the surplus is not paid out in coins. A car that is on the line in a wager cannot be traded in.

The car's Endurance bonus travels with it: the old one is removed, the new one granted. The amount you pay also grants experience — 5% of the sum.
