Best Speed Trap Cars

For speed traps specifically, you need the right balance of acceleration (to reach speed before the trap) and top speed:

Short/Medium Speed Traps (most common):

  • Rimac Nevera — Instant acceleration wins more speed traps than raw top speed
  • Bugatti Bolide — Best blend of launch and top-end
  • Porsche 918 Spyder — Excellent middle-ground, easier to control

Long High-Speed Traps (highway sections):

  • Koenigsegg Jesko — Only car that consistently hits 300+ mph
  • Hennessey Venom F5 — Close second, more stable at high speed
  • SSC Tuatara — Slippery, excellent aero at speed

Best Highway Racing Cars

Highway sprints are about sustained top speed and stability:

1Koenigsegg JeskoTop speed king, stable at 300+ mph
2Bugatti BolideBetter handling at speed, safer through gentle curves
3Koenigsegg RegeraSingle-gear direct drive means no shift lag
4Rimac NeveraCatches up from behind faster than anything
5Hennessey Venom F5Excellent aero, very stable in traffic

McLaren 570S175k250 mphLightweight, handles speed well

Tuning Tips for Maximum Speed

  1. Gearing: Extend final drive for higher top speed, but don't sacrifice acceleration entirely — most speed traps are shorter than you think
  2. Aero: Reduce downforce for top speed runs. Add it back for speed traps with corners
  3. Tires: Drag tires for pure top speed runs, Sport or Race tires for speed traps with curves
  4. Weight: Every kg counts — carbon fiber parts are worth the credit investment
  5. Engine swaps: Don't always swap to the biggest engine — lighter engines often yield better power-to-weight ratios
