Cars

Cars are the central part of Drift City and what you will use to get around the Island and complete tasks. Cars can be bought from the Dealership (with some requiring a coupon to purchase) or when the Car Auction House is open. They are often expensive when first unlocked, thus it is advised to skip certain V tiers when starting a new character.

Cars are divided into V tiers, starting from V1 with the cheapest cars up to V9 featuring the fastest (yet most expensive) cars in Drift City. A car's V tier can also be increased by buying the corresponding upgrade in the Boost Shop. A car's V tier will determine what drops a player will recieve from combos, HUV activities, and Rush Time Events. Each V tier has a constant amount of total points for cars that tier, and those points are distributed across different stats for each V tier.



Car Types
In Drift City, any car can be used for any activity. However, the term is better used to describe a car and its stats. In general, cars are devided into three types.

Race
Race cars have stats allocated towards their Speed and Acceleration. However, they will often have lower durability than other cars in their tier. These are often used for races and deliveries on flat roads, where dealing damage is not important.

HUV
HUV vehicles will have the highest durability out of all vehicles, but will often feature less speed and acceleration than their more nimble counterparts. Aesthetically, HUV cars appear larger and "tougher" than others. They are often used for HUV calls or rarely deliveries that require uphill driving (such as Cras Station 2)

Field
Field vehicles are a balance between the Race and the HUV type, featuring stats roughly equal in each category. While not necessarily the best in a certain stat, they seek to provide the player a use in all activities, or those that require both high mobility and damage, such as Undercity and Rush Time

Progression
General progression of a new player is to go V2 -> V4 -> V6 (optional) -> V8 -> V9. More skilled players are able to skip as far as V2 -> V8 / V9. Car stats do not have as big of an impact as parts do, so you should only look to upgrade your car if there's nothing else to upgrade or you're looking for better drops from daily activities.
