5 Fastest Cars In F1 23, Ranked
In F1 23, fans can rest assured that these cars are nearly unmatched in terms of speed.
Cars are divided into different classes depending on their overall Performance Index (PI), which ensures that races are fair and competing cars are of a similar spec. The R Class includes vehicles that fall anywhere between 800 and 899 PI. Vehicles can be upgraded to move higher up within their class, but their specs will be limited when competing with other cars of the same class if they exceed the PI limit.
10 2019 Bugatti Divo
With only 40 units ever being produced, the 2019 Bugatti Divo is most certainly a rarity and offers track performance that is equally impressive as its sleek and futuristic design qualities. The vehicle's main strengths lie in its straight-line speed and quick acceleration.
The car can be bought for 418,000 credits. The Bugatti Divo has some impressive stats with 10.0 Speed and 8.9 Acceleration. It can be a bit trickier in corners, however, with only 4.6 Handling and 4.8 Braking. Overall, the car has a PI of 870.
9 2016 Pagani Huayra BC
Supercar manufacturer Pagani arrived on the scene relatively recently when compared with some rival brands, but their cars can certainly compete with the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini when it comes to the track, as evidenced by the 2016 Pagani Huayra BC.
28 Most Realistic Racing Games Ever
There are plenty of great racing games on the market, but these examples are the most realistic.
The car has a very well-balanced performance, with its main strengths being 8.1 Speed and 7.7 Acceleration. While this may seem comparatively slow when compared with the Bugatti Divo, the Pagani Huayra is much easier to control through corners with 5.9 Handling and 5.8 Braking. Overall, this gives the Pagani Huayra a PI of 871.
8 1976 Ferrari #1 Scuderia Ferrari 312 T2
Driven by the likes of the legendary Niki Lauda and Gilles Villeneuve, the 1976 Ferrari 312 T2 won the Formula 1 Constructor's Championship and would have helped Lauda to a driver's title too, if not for his infamous crash at The Nürburgring circuit.
This classic F1 car is, unsurprisingly, excellent in some areas, while simultaneously showing its age in others. With 9.7 Acceleration, it is a fast starter, and with 7.9 Handling and 7.8 Braking, it can handle tough corners at high speed. The only real weakness is its top speed, with a rating of just 4.6 Speed. Overall, the car has a PI of 871.
7 1989 Ferrari F40 Competizione
The Ferrari F40 is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic designs ever produced by the legendary Italian manufacturer. Sadly, the car became more of a showpiece than a race car, with only 10% of produced models ever being driven. Fortunately, Forza Motorsport gives players the chance to test it out on track.
10 Best Codemasters Racing Games, Ranked
Codemasters are regarded as one of the best when it comes to developing the greatest racing games of all time.
The F40 is a well-balanced and versatile car that should be able to handle any track with its 7.8 Speed and 7.1 Handling. Racing can be a different matter though, with a comparatively weak 6.5 Acceleration and 6.6 Braking. Overall the car yields a PI of 874.
6 1976 Lotus #5 Team Lotus 77
The Lotus 77 is another classic F1 car from one of the sport's golden eras. Piloted by Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson, along with a guest appearance from Ronnie Peterson. The car achieved a Grand Prix victory at Suzuka circuit, as well as scoring podiums in Spain, Austria, Holland, and Canada.
The car is generally very strong around most circuits, though like many of the other classic cars, the Lotus 77 hasn't aged brilliantly in all areas. The vehicle's strengths include 7.9 Acceleration and 7.9 Handling, along with a very nice 7.8 Braking, allowing drivers to take greater risks in braking zones. The car may struggle to keep up with some newer models along the straights, though, with only 4.2 Speed. Overall, the 1976 Lotus 77 has a PI of 877.
5 2021 Porsche Mission R
Porsche's all-electric Mission R is scheduled to compete in the FIA Electric GT Championship next year, and it is easy to see why this car's racing debut is so highly anticipated. Originally conceived in 2021, The Mission R borrows parts from other iconic Porsche designs, including the 911 RSR and 718 Cayman GT4.
10 Best Tracks in Ubisoft's Trackmania
Trackmania allows players to create their own tracks in whatever style they see fit, and these are the best ones so far.
The car will cost players 326,000 credits to unlock, which may seem expensive given the relatively low base stats of the car. With a Speed of 4.2 and Acceleration clocking in at 6.1, along with a meager 6.0 Braking and 5.9 Handling, there is plenty of potential for upgrades. However, the Porsche Mission R still achieved an overall PI of 879.
4 2017 Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro
The 2017 Aston Martin Vulcan AMR Pro is considered to be one of the "wildest" models ever produced by the prestigious English manufacturers but in all the best ways. This track-only supercar is built very low to the ground with a sleek and modern aerodynamic design.
The statistics for the Vulcan are also impressive, with 7.6 Braking and 7.5 Handling being the Aston Martin's main strengths. The car's 5.8 Speed might not seem impressive at first, but with 6.4 Acceleration the car is still relatively powerful when exiting corners. Overall, the Vulcan has a PI of 885.
3 2021 Rimac Nevara
The 2021 Rimac Nevara is truly a cutting-edge piece of automotive technology. Limited to just 150 models, the Croatian-built electric hypercar is not a common sight outside the motor-centric principality of Monaco.
6 Best Upgrades In F1 Manager 2023
Players should prioritize these upgrades first in F1 Manager 2023.
The straight-line speed of the Rimac Nevara is one of its greatest assets, with a total of 9.4 Speed ranking it among the highest in the R Class. Elsewhere, the Nevara can be a bit of a handful, particularly for inexperienced drivers, and this is reflected by the 4.0 Handling, 4.3 Acceleration, and 4.2 Braking statistics. Overall, the Rimac Nevara has a PI of 886.
2 2015 Radical RXC Turbo
While British manufacturer Radical may be lesser-known than brands like Ferrari and Bugatti, the RXC Turbo does all of its talking on the track. As another electric vehicle, this car might not sound like much, but the lap times should speak for themselves along with the overall feel of the car.
Though the RXC Turbo's 4.2 Speed might not be much to cheer about, the car is very good in all other areas. With 7.3 Handling, 7.4 Acceleration, and 7.2 Braking, the RXC Turbo shows itself to be a purpose-built track car and is more than capable of racing alongside the best in the R Class. Overall, the Radical RXC Turbo has a PI of 891.
1 2019 Dodge #9 American V8 Road Racing TA Challenger
The Dodge Challenger is one of the most iconic cars ever to come out of America, and the 2019 V8 Road Racing variant is no different, representing the pinnacle of the R class in its unmodified state. Unfortunately, the car is hidden behind a paywall, and players will need to purchase Forza Motorsport's "Car Pass" to use it.
The TA Challenger has some modest statistics, but when combined overall, produces the highest Performance Index in the category. The Challenger has a mediocre 5.4 Speed, with balanced stats in all other areas including 7.3 Handling, 7.2 Braking, and 7.0 Acceleration. Overall, the Challenger has a PI of 898.
