I am starting a new thread for the performance analysis of Class B cars and how they rank against each other.
Clearly, I don't have enough information about these cars. Firstly, there is a relatively low demand for this information in comparison to Class S performance analysis. Secondly, most Class B cars have mediocre performance in various areas compared to Class S cars, most notably in acceleration and nitro efficiency. Thirdly, I only own around half of the Class B kings or fewer with high levels of upgrades, mostly due to the aforementioned two reasons, both of which have deterred me from exploring Class B. Class B is my weakest class in Asphalt 8.
As always, and especially for this thread, users can contribute in the comments. I do require input from other users about the relative performances of Class B cars. I think it will also be helpful to include information about low-tuned Class A and Class S cars, if possible. Cheers!
Another comment - Class B is gigantic, so a lot of these cars shouldn't even really be compared to one another. It might be more useful to split Class B up into two to four subsections, rather than to have just one big catchall for all Class B cars.
A further comment - The top end of the list in this post is not highly accurate. Also, there's a lot of nuance that has been left out. The BMW M4 GTS is technically the best car in Class B, but it has worse handling and drifting than many of its nearby competitors, so it's not an absolute king, unlike the Lamborghini Centenario and Koenigsegg Jesko in Class S.
EDIT1: In high Class B, the Acura NSX GT3 Evo and Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport have both been promoted from Tier 2 to Tier 1, while the SCG 003S has been promoted from Tier 4 to Tier 2. Meanwhile, in Middle Class B, the Jaguar XKR-S GT has been demoted from Tier 1 to Tier 2.
EDIT2: The Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo Evo has been added to Tier 2 in high Class B.
EDIT3: In high Class B, the Exotic Rides W70 has been demoted from Tier 3 to Tier 4.

High Class B cars ranked according to overall performance (by MMS):
(Note: Vehicles are listed in alphabetical order in their respective tiers, rather than by performance.)
Key: Green is fully upgraded, Blue is highly upgraded (>65%), Yellow is medium upgraded (35%–65%), Pink is lowly upgraded (0%–35%), Purple is unowned
Legacy cars are underlined. Cars that are above rank B1682 (B1683+) arestruck through.
*The Acura NSX GT3 Evo (B1685) and Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport (B1688) were both nerfed slightly in early 2021. From Tier 0 to Tier 1 in high Class B.
**The Suzuki Hayabusa has a buggy Supercharge speed boost, wherein its speed actually decreases in Supercharge, rather than increases. It has been broken for years.
EDIT1: McLaren 570S promoted from B1678 to B1679. Same position as before in Tier 5. - September 20, 2022 (MMS)
EDIT2: McLaren 650S GT3 reshuffled from B1695 to B1679. Demoted from Tier 4 to Tier 5. - November 12, 2022 (MMS)
