So, I have the Jaguar XKR-S GT and the BMW M4 GTS at full Pro now in A8+. No MP there, but I can get a feel for them using them in Career and Mastery races. Also, A8+ has a Quick Race mode similar to Quick Solo in A8. The difference is that A8+ Quick Races have coins to collect on the track that are worth 500 credits each. It is a good mode to farm and a good chance to see how controllable the cars are when trying to collect the coins and how fast you can make your lap times with them.
Overall, I like both cars. Great acceleration with both, good TTS and decent NE. Handling/drifting are good on both, but I find myself wishing for better. I’m still learning to generate tight drifts with these. I’ll get there, but it is harder than with some other B class cars like the NSX or the excellent 4/8. (Don’t ask me to compare with my beloved RX8SE which, sadly, will soon be gone from the class… 😔 )
Both cars will be quite good in MP, I think, but the Jag will have trouble with MAX/PRO F7’s which are gonna be able to matchup with the Acc, TTS, and has, I think, equal or better NE and handling/drifting. I’d rate the F7 > XKR-S GT. The BMW however, might be the best around its rank. I don’t have my NSX or Clubsport upgraded to full PRO; so, I can’t say for sure, but my gut, and other folks comments, indicate that the BMW has the best Acc and close enough TTS and NE to compete. The BMW’s handling is slightly inferior to the other two cars, but I think it is not enough difference for the other cars to overcome the Acc of the BMW. It will depend on the driver’s skill, but I think any decent player can turn in better laps with the BMW on most tracks. So, I think my opinion, (based on my gut and NOT REAL DATA) is BMW > NSX > Clubsport by extremely small margins…YMMV. But all definitely in the top group for B Class, IMHO.
I will also note that I will have the NSX and Clubsport at full PRO very soon in A8+, but I cannot use them for comparison in this topic; because, the A8+ versions of those cars are not at the lower, nerfed 2021 Lunar update tunes. They still have the higher original A8 tunes. So, in A8+ they are superior to all the other cars in B class. Dunno which of the two is best in A8+, but I’ll post over in the A8+ chat sub-forum when I get them to full PRO. 👍
I think there is one wildcard near the top of B class and that is the SCG. It has really great Acc and TTS. Not the best, but really good. Handling is a problem, but not as terrible as a car like the Devel. What really makes this car interesting though is its NE. This car can cruise on Nitro forever. With the AR8SE gone, This car now possesses the best NE in the class by a wide margin near the top of B class. Maybe some lower ranked cars like the 4/8 come close, but the SCG is the undisputed B class NE champion. What this means in MP, is that if you get stuck behind another racer that is sucking up all the nitro, then you can hang with them for a surprisingly long time, and you’ll be the car that can last between bottles best on nitro starved tracks. Additionally, you can use triple tap more often and still be safe from not running out until the next bottle or drift point where other cars need to use perfect nitro to conserve.
So, don’t sleep on the SCG, it might surprise a few people. And if you come up against a racer in an SCG that has tamed its mediocre handling, then beware. It is a tireless racing machine that will track you down at the end of long lonely track sections when your nitro runs dry… 👹

nice 😃. I remember struggling with the wide drift of my SCG in R&D in Dubai. I have it 5555 3343. I liked your description and that's why I'll do it maxpro.

oldman65 - Excellent analysis. I will integrate your rankings of the Falcon F7 versus the Jaguar XKR-S GT into the list, and I will promote the SCG 003S.

oldman65 - Excellent analysis. I will integrate your rankings of the Falcon F7 versus the Jaguar XKR-S GT into the list, and I will promote the SCG 003S. Thx. Its a bit of apples to oranges comparison going back and forth between A8 and A8+, but I tried to ensure I flagged anything that was different between the two games. The physics and tracks are identical; so, theoretically, identical cars with identical ranks should perform the same… So, I think it is a fair evaluation of the Jag and BMW. Like I said though, I can’t compare the Clubsport and NSX. They are different in A8+ from what A8 has. 👍

Lol. Bro I am abig noob in bikes section of game. I can't even handle my d class pro ktm duke. That's why I only own two bikes. D class suzuki at max pro and d class ktm at max pro. But I agree that many bikes have negative supercharge speed. More info on bikes can be give by Sayaneechan . Although, she is inactive on her game due to some microsoft store installation issue, but I think, she does have some golden info... No, sorry, I do not have any info to give. I am still stuck in 2020, I do not know what has changed and what not. Seems pointless anyway since GL keep changing the stats. I am able to play A9, but A8 refuses to work. Sorry

We don't have a Class C analysis article yet (my fault), but I must say, the performance of the newly-buffed Arrinera Hussarya is exceedingly good. It's basically at the equivalent level of the BMW M4 GTS or Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport but at ~1500 instead of ~1680.
For reference, the Hussarya used to be utterly useless in the past, with abysmal acceleration and nitro efficiency. It was heavily buffed in these two areas in the most recent "2021 Holiday" update.
From my first impressions (no precise measurements yet), the Hussarya's new performance is on par with the Rezvani Beast X and TVR Sagaris SE and superior to the Ferrari F50, Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and Porsche Cayman GT4.

The Arrinera Hussarya has always been my number-one-favourite car in Asphalt 8, long before its recent buff. So, in spite of all of the nerfs to some of my other favourite cars, such as the TVR Sagaris SE and Rezvani Beast Alpha, I am really rather quite pleased with the buff to the Arrinera Hussarya.

I have this at stock, my little side project to upgrade this, wondering if I got it too 1410-1430 if it would be competitive with the Beast Alpha

The Arrinera Hussarya has always been my number-one-favourite car in Asphalt 8, long before its recent buff. So, in spite of all of the nerfs to some of my other favourite cars, such as the TVR Sagaris SE and Rezvani Beast Alpha, I am really rather quite pleased with the buff to the Arrinera Hussarya. On the topic of the Arrinera Hussarya, an interesting detail is that it is one of the few cars that was not included in the "Garage Kingpin Decal Pack" bundle that used to exist up until early-2021. I purchased the GKDP and received most Credits decals for most cars in the game; I did not receive Credits decals for the Hussarya. For a long time, I have only possessed a handful of decals for the Arrinera Hussarya, including the "Polish Hussars" Tokens decal, three TLE decals (in fact, one of these decals, "X-13", looks really good in my opinion), the "Team Dream" Credits decal, and the two Mastery decals ("Dragonflame" and "Darkest Knight"). Over the past two days, I've now purchased a large quantity of the Arrinera Hussarya's decals, including four additional Tokens decals (meaning that I now own five of these in total) and twelve additional Credits decals (meaning that I now own thirteen of these in total). In total, I now own twenty-three decals for the Arrinera Hussarya. There are twenty-seven decals in total that I can see; I have neglected to purchase the four remaining generic low-level Tokens decals, and I have purchased only the unique Tokens decals. I'm unaware of there being any other TLE decals or Lunar New Year-themed decals for the Hussarya; the Wiki doesn't list any others apart from the three that I do own. The Arrinera Hussarya is now the car for which I own the most Tokens decals.
More comments... The "Polish Hussars" decal is perhaps the highest-resolution decal in the entire game. The look of this decal reminds me of that pencil company "Faber-Castell" somewhat. The "X-13" decal, which was obtainable from a TLE and/or MP and/or the Daily Login Bonus in the past, reminds me a lot of the art-style of Asphalt Xtreme (which perhaps explains the "X" in its design). Unfortunately, that game has been discontinued. The look of this decal is similar to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport's built-in decal, with black paint splotches and various other bold livery-like features. The other two MP decals are not as good in my opinion. It's also interesting to note that the default paint jobs of the Arrinera Hussarya have some different characteristics between them. The green, yellow, brown, purple, and white paint jobs all feature a black carbon fibre roof, whereas the black, red, and blue paint jobs all feature a plain roof. For the three paint jobs that have a plain roof, decals are not displayed over this plain roof, i.e. they stop abruptly at the margins. The black paint job features the following unique details: - There are red highlights lining the front left and right grills.
- There are red highlights in front of the wind screen that occupy two triangular-shaped indentations on the left and right, whereas these indentations are instead black for all other paint jobs.
- There are red highlights underneath the rear-end of the car on the left and right.
- The nameplate "Hussarya" (but not "Arrinera") at the rear is black, whereas it is silver for all other paint jobs.
- The symbol-plate "
33" on the front-left-side and front-right-side is black, whereas these plates are silver for all other paint jobs. - The insignia-plate of the Polish Hussars on the rear-left-side and rear-right-side is black, whereas these plates are silver for all other paint jobs.
- The roof is plain rather than carbon fibre (as mentioned in the paragraph above).
Regarding the black paint job, it is notably featured underneath the "Darkest Knight" Mastery decal as well as under the "Polish Hussars" Tokens decal, both of which do not have selectable paint jobs. However, interestingly, the "Polish Hussars" Tokens decal combines elements of both the black paint job and the other paint jobs, which include: - There are no red highlights around the front grills.
- There are no red highlights in front the windscreen.
- Red highlights are present underneath the rear-end.
- The "Hussarya" nameplate is black.
- The two "
33" symbol-plates are black. - The two Polish Hussars insignia-plates are silver instead of black.
- The carbon fibre roof is present, whereas it is usually absent for the black paint job.
Note: I may move this comment of mine to the decals thread. Note2: I also need to create a Class C performance analysis thread. I will try and do that over the next week or so.

the free ad reward car, asterion, is it good for mp? It's actually not a terrible car... It has great nitro efficiency and good handling+drifting. However, its final rank and speed are non-optimal since it lies right underneath the B1680 rank bracket... B1670 makes the Asterion a sitting duck against the Class B kings. Furthermore, the Asterion's acceleration is relatively weak... I've previously measured the Asterion's launch acceleration as 3.7 seconds (to its full speed from a standstill). Overall, the Asterion is nowhere near the level of the kings, but it's not a terrible car either. It's worth investing slightly in, but I wouldn't go all the way... I'd get a better car if you're planning to go to MAX+PRO or full-PRO.

Formula E Gen2 is a good car with excellent acceleration and nitro efficiency. It is a light weight car in the game but it is sometimes hard to handle especially when the car is in full speed and we have to turn which is followed by a bump on the track. At that situation, this car always tends to skid which causes a wreck and a fall of position in the race. A good replacement for this car is Porsche 911 GT3 RS which is not that much lightweight as compared to Egen2 due to which it does not leave the ground so early on a bump which prevents the skid. Moreover, the 911 GT3 RS is a Legacy Car so it is easy to .

Ronan🌻 Leigton I have finally tuned my 599xx evo to rank 1567, you can say it is a better version of H2 speed in terms of acceleration and handling(H2 feels slightly heavier). i.ibb.co/pRfw1R9/Asphalt-8-Airborne-18-02-2022-15-43-10.pngTuning is 10-6-10-9 With tuning kit it can reach 423kmph and acceleration is much better than H2 speed, couldn't find many IDRs to compare with. A comparison of how fast it accelerated(at a lower tuning of 9-5-10-9) against Leigton's SR1(at 1592): youtu.be/yO0D9zXYXgI

Your Evo starts like a rocket....
