Hybrids and EVs

[Feral Pigeon]

Prius, CT, Leaf, Volt, and Roadster S. Talk about tunes, show off pics and videos, and brag about how you can destroy gas-guzzlers with your mean green machine.

Also, debate on future hyb' DLC cars.

 

[Talon Lardner]

Haven't tried any of the electrics yet, probably will next time I play. This Prius I upgraded to E class, not a bad drive to be honest.

Don't forget this bad boy is lurking in some people's garages:

 

[Feral Pigeon]

dammit, GroupB, I hate you until T10 releases a pack for the other pre-order cars to be available.

--EDIT--

nice Prius, The Ratling. I have an A600 Prius that while it's painfully slow off the line, when it gets up to speed, it'll destroy a Viper SRT-10 a C6 Z06, and almost unnotably, the Tesla Roadster S. the S is nothing against my Prius.

Might have to play around with these next time....see what one of these can do over the 1/4 mile

I'm loving the CR-Z.

The P.I. rating is awfully low, though. It should be a low E-Class car, around where the Fit is.

I need to get me a Prius and put drag slicks on the back, and some racing strips to make it go faster!

 

[Feral Pigeon]

You joke about it, Oni, but the Prius is already almost F200. It's freaking quick! When you get it to A600, it'll kill a C6 Z06 like it was a classic beetle!

Ill try it out, so we will see.

All-electric, all the time!

Oh yeah. S670 and ready to race. Any challengers?

Any day, friend. Any day.

too bad there aren't any more hybs or electrics that can match or beat that. If they have some more hybrids in the next DLC, say like, the Lincoln MKS hybrid, Ford Fusion hybrid, Camry hybrid, even the GMC Sierra hybrid, we might get some more competitive vehicles in this already interesting racing class.

This isn't mine but it's a buddy of mine's car that he uploaded to our club garage. I test drove the car last night and it takes awhile getting use to it being so quiet. As far as specs go, all I can remember is that it's a fully upgraded A-class car... lol

 

[Feral Pigeon]

the volt, i have to admit, is a very potent car.

 

[TheBigMan045]

Have to admit after having a session at the top gear track i was impressed with the Prius. Really surprised at the grip it had even when stock. Havent touched the turbo conversion or anything....but knocked off 20 secs off the standard cars time without any specific tuning, know I can go faster with a little tweak here and there (cant upload photos as I still have dial up where I am)

 

[Feral Pigeon]

BigMan, if you do end up keeping a Prius, it'll only get to S601, but DAMN is it fast! Terronium-12 and I actually got ours up pretty fast. 175mph...180mph...187mph... and then HE had to brake at Circuit De La Sarthe... I got up to 190mph, and crashed on Nurburgring

--EDIT--

I'm actually in the process of working with Wardez on a racing series only for A600 Prius racers.

 

[Shant J.]

I'm a bit disappointed that the Insight isn't in.

 

[local chap]

Haven't given the hybrids a shot yet in Forza aside from the Lexus in one race. Did win the Grand Valley 300km in the Insight on GT5. I'll have to pick one up.

 

[VXR]

Only tried the CT200h and my word that think is tragically slow stock - 11 seconds to 60 with 137bhp thanks to comedy gearing.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the CT200h'll get up to the same class as the Prius. Speaking of, I'm getting on tonight if Terronium-12 is online, and we'll be unleashing hell on a number of tracks to test how quick and how nimble our Prii really are.

 

[VXR]

Conceivably, with the aerodynamic qualities of the Prius it would be relatively efficient with a mild nat-asp V6 in it... I wouldn't say no.

When I bought the Tesla Roadster S to check out its tuning potential, I noticed it was a noncompetitive A class car in stock form (A505 I believe). With the Forza wing and front bumper, chrome Lexani rims, and a driveline upgrade to recoup a point or two, I turned it into a slightly gaudier-looking, class-topping B500.

It worked well enough that I've neglected to go back and try it out with actual upgrades, though I have to admit the stock handling is a bit disappointing. It's a light car by modern standards but you can really feel the heft of that battery pack.
