All Cars Ranked Worst to Best in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0

in this video we're ranking every ownable car  in the base game of cyberpunk 2077 after 2.0 everything from lightning fast speed demons  monster trucks to James Bond inspired sports cars with their own guns I'll be diving into every  conceivable strength and weakness to decide once again which are best note that cars exclusively  from Phantom Liberty as well as bikes are getting their own videos else this one would be 2 hours  long but I will be making a tier list as we go through all three so l

et's get to it knocked down  to last place this time we have the regular thorton Galena still costing a very cheap 13k only now  of course all purchasable vehicles are bought via muamar El capitan Reyes' autofixer website as opposed to  out in the world itself bit less of an adventure I know but at least these purchases still come  with a small amount of lore apparently this one was immortalized back in 2034 after the punk rock  hits pounding Gina in my galena a much better rhyming coupletet adm

ittedly than PanAm and basilisk  this was designed to be an affordable people's car of the 2030s and that's about all it is barely  able to exceed 90 on level terrain a docked speed from 1.6 this is the slowest car in the game now  not to mention the crappiest looking though if beaten up pile of rust common inconspicuous car is  what you're going for then this is a winner just don't use your coupon discounts on it because  the ratio here is not prosperous apparently the guy who owned it last got

shot through his window  after a sheltered life of paranoia and apparently by buying this we're grabbing Life by the balls  and avoiding the same fate though I'd argue we could live a better life with literally any other  car and in fact with the dash double jump air Dash method of getting around on foot now this thing  is barely faster than us able to Traverse the same distance a mere 29% faster on the straight than we  can in 2.0 though it's not just about speed thanks to the addition of vehi

cle combat we now have to  test these things for toughness and ramming power too so I've devised a few tests for each vehicle  firstly how many arm cannons can they survive a measly one for the Galena how many mags of dying  night can we unload before the car explodes for which this survived three the tires shot out in  one and ramming power was pretty much non-existent with zero Road presence and being pushed around by  every other car looking at the scannable stats too this is a weak horsepowe

r especially when ratioed  up against its weight pretty indisputable bottom of the D tier this one bumped up to second  last now is the mahir supron fs3 a minivan that not even Reyes can defend in his sales pitch  describing it as quote like a group of hobos glued together a bathtub and a trash can and slapped on  some dinner plates for Wheels end quote and yeah it's not great but does for an extra 3K edies hit  a marginally faster 96 compared to the Galena that is when it's totally empty being

a minivan though  one might be tempted to you know load it up with stuff however the ease at which this thing can lose  control when making micro adjustments renders that a worrying Prospect with the thing receiving a  minus F in Crash testing mind du deliberately testing the crashing mechanic myself I found it  wasn't actually able to reach a high enough speed to cause any kind of notably disastrous Collision  that said despite being nothing special I found it still slightly effective at bullyi

ng other Road  users apparently oh sorry sorry sorry that is unless they just drive off since we can't actually  catch anyone in this though it did hold its own in combat for a solid 30 seconds at least before  we had to bail testing durability manually though it again took just one projectile and three dying  night mags to blow up not something you'd want to be caught dead in though that is a far more likely  possibility here another D tier obviously the classic American station wagon next thor

ton Colby  actually doesn't feel devilishly slow compared to the previous two though is still a far cry from  the majority of this list clocking out at just 100 mph but it definitely feels like it gets there  quicker contextually over 50 million of these were sold in North America by 2060 and it's easy to  see why at a cost of just 18,000 there's plenty of boot space and enough horsepower for it to keep  pootling along even fully loaded also I don't know if anyone noticed or cares but this is on

e of  the only vehicles to receive a total retexture in 2.0 now sporting a black and gray Vibe but as  opposed to the old style turquoise not sure why it was changed but I kind of like it combat Wise  It's again nothing special the tires shoot out in one hit three mags of dying night to the engine  will cause it to explode though In fairness it did survive a projectile once though when I reloaded  it blew up a second time in just one hit fluke who knows fun fact about the model we buy though  wh

ich could have even buffed up a few spots on a different day this car was actually formerly owned  by Nicholas Cage or a Nicholas at any rate though the inclusion of car Jacka Memphis and Nicholas in  the same sentence sounds very much like a Gone in 60 Seconds reference to me tempted to put it in  C tier for that but it was practically designed to sit at the bottom our fourth D tier vehicle then is  the VilleFort Columbus and the thing about these first four cars to their merits is that actuall

y  they're the only four you can order from autofixer prior to the heist granted they can't quite  beat the Archer hella starter overall but this one at least does have some bonus utility with a top  speed again of about 100 and a combat endurance that's nothing to write home about the Columbus's  only strength is the fact that we can drive with the back doors open maybe in cyberpunk Orion this  feature can extends to being able to park a bike in the back of this moving van as a cool way to  dis

appear from traffic I'm kidding that's not the only strength and given that this is one of the  only ownable pre-heist Vehicles the Columbus allows you to reach some higher places at a cheaper  price than tendons or ankles I think costing a mere 19k in fact it can even stack with the leg  cyberware to be stood on on top of later in the game and get to the occasional difficult to reach  ledge other than that since cdpr thankfully don't bloat their game with shallow meaningless fetch  quests we do

n't become a delivery driver and thus don't really need one of these the model we can  acquire was formerly owned by a drug dealer and Reyes even recommends we get something else  if we're not a fan of those kinds of smells basically it's the same as it's always been buy it  up if you do a lot of adventurous parkouring you may be wondering what a car that looks this good  is doing right down here in D tier let me explain the Shion bonewrecker used to be a second Shion  coyote that you could get

after making one of the worst decisions in the entire game I delve into  detail in my worst decisions video but in brief during With a Little Help from My Friends one of  Panam's side quests where we steal a tank we have the hidden option to go behind Panam's back and rat  her out to Saul making her look like an idiot and stopping her dead in her tracks afterwards as  a reward for our honesty saul will gift us this vehicle to pick up at the Sunset Motel if we were  assessing purely the car alone

it would be a lot higher up weaponized with mounted guns reaching  top speeds of 160 though generally staying around 140 and coming with reinforced tires though it  still blows up after 2.5 dying night mags it looks the same as it did before and it's quite good but  stats and name-wise it is quite definitively worse than the shion coyote which you'll find towards  the end of the video unsurprisingly worse still it means Panam will never speak to us again and  this will have more of a knock-on e

ffect than you think locking us out of not just choices in  the base game but also a few things for Phantom Liberty now too I just hope you don't have a  burning need to collect every unique vehicle in the game because now well this is very much  its own car in its own right but really if we just want to pretend it's still a coyote and an  inferior one at that with lower horsepower then that's fine too to stop you feeling like you have  to get it as far as starter cars go you you just can't beat

the well the starter car Archer Hella  not only has a little bit more speed and power than the rest topping about 102 but it can also  hold its own in combat I found out with a little more toughness tires take two shots to puncture  instead of one though In fairness I don't think I've really had my tires punctured by an enemy so  I'm not sure how important this is but I did sink over four magazines of dying night into this  thing before it finally gave up this definitely carried through into po

lice chases as well with  the car surviving all all the way up until being shot at by a hellhound contextually it's the  best people's car ever made with most lasting well over 54 years from their manufacture in  2023 the oldest car I've ever owned in real life by comparison is from 2004 and the chassis of  that is about to crumble into rust so this to me is exceptionally impressive especially given the  Hela is said to be made from cheap parts it was so successful in fact that the ncpd now driv

e around  in Legions of supped up versions suggesting it's got the best balance of economy and quality just  sucks for Archer that making a car that good and durable merely meant taking potential returning  customers off the market forever the quote unquote heaviest car ever allowed to roam the streets  now and first thing I'd like to pedantically point out is that this simply isn't true in fact  the Thrax Jefferson's whole thing at this point is to serve as a cheap fricking knockoff of the  Alv

arado delegate and its variants with the same top speed of 118 but a lower horsepower and  hilariously a lower weight some false advertising from chevillon there what this car is though is one  of the heavy duty vehicles of choice for night city gangers everywhere are you a Valentino prepping  for a night of war against sixth street well in one of these things survival isn't an entirely  off-the table Prospect with armored plating able to take over four dying night mags and blowing up  after two

projectiles not bad stats though I must say I'd hoped for better from a vehicle with  such a tough looking exterior according to Reyes it's the next best thing to a yacht you can  get when you're afraid of the ocean and costs a significantly cheaper 34k though since our  good friend Kerry Eurodyne has a yacht available to go cruising on that's not exactly a selling point  To Us buy it for completionist Vibes but otherwise there's very similar albeit slightly better  equivalents to this basicall

y a more elegant version of the Archer Hela or a cheaper but just  as good equivalent to the Thrax Jefferson The Villefort Cortez Valor comes in just 28,000 eddies as the  basis for all delamain cabs this needs to be stylish but not overstated sturdy yet elegant and whilst  labeled as sporting style over substance I still found it survived a fair onslaught of gunfire  before giving up it may only have reached top speeds of 116 but the reduced curb weight when  compared to the Jefferson makes it

accelerate just as well despite being cheaper however  it is a little less tough in combat where the Valor ultimately wins out for me then is well  two things firstly same as the previous video this thing still Sports a pink coloring and reminds  me of my favorite childhood game The Simpsons Hit and Run reasonably matching Homer Simpson's car  from that also though for those running the game Ray-traced this reflective strip on the roof is a  great way to appreciate the graphical power this game

has to offer honestly it's insane what the  red engine has been able to do here and makes me wonder if the Orion sequel on unreal 5 will look  anything like one of those photorealistic games we're starting to see crop up the Thorton Colby  but is now literally just a Thorton Colby lifted up onto higher suspension given stronger tires and  the rear of a pickup for these upgrades it'll set you back a little more 25k now as opposed to 18  if you want your model in green otherwise same as always hea

d out to the film shoot north of  Rocky Ridge where a Raffen shiv raid has just taken place to salvage this one for free it being  a Colby means it's still clocking out at about 100 but Sports a bit of extra horsepower and weight  for ramming though is far from the best pick up in the game for this now mind you it does still  Traverse the Badlands pretty well and rocking up to scanner hustles inside this thing will make  for a significantly easier time than say dashing around on foot also the co

ol thing about owning  two of them is you have a backup should the first take two projectiles to the chassis destroyed  cars indeed have a 5minute cooldown now before you can summon them again reyes then as before  sells this one on the basis it's good for hauling rugs to the junkyard I didn't have any rugs to  throw away but there were some sixth streeters that looked at me funny sadly any GeForce exerted on  the car still sends this lot sliding out of the back and renders that feature useless

fortunately  I was told by my smart gun that blood stains can be removed with one easy trick and vinegar for  those wanting the most classic looking pickup truck in cyberpunk 2077 though look no further  than the thorton Mackinaw mtl1 a car that I've had a soft spot for ever since I masterfully navigated  it from the top of a cliff into an Alleyway not wanting to tarnish that previous success though  I'm instead testing this today on reyes's selling points see apparently this thing is a heavywei

ght  which can use Street lamps in the way a bowling ball would use bumpers and cannot be tripped up by  obstacles whatsoever and to be fair it does Blitz through the collapsable Street lamps as though  they weren't there but as is the nature of most games anything indestructible in the environment  will still bring this car to a debilitating halt that said its tremendous 5,000 plus weight does  Bode pretty well as a ramming machine and what the car loses thanks to game physics it more than  mak

es up for in endurance it took three whole hits from the projectile launcher to blow this thing  up in my destruction tests though only four mags from dying night which is kind of upper mid  though it's still up there as one of the top 10 beefiest cars in the base game and beats the Colby  butte now thanks to its endurance just don't expect to outrun any pursuers it's still just got a top  speed of 108 but for a reasonably low 33k eddies can you really expect much more just beating the  Mackinaw

though in lower mid beefy muscle cars is the Villefort Alvarado delegate I spoke before  in 1.6 about how this is The Big Showmany mob boss car of the game cruising around with six  wheels like you own a place somewhere but there's a little more to it than that now whilst boasting  a slightly lower weight to horsepower ratio than the mackinaw his car makes up for that in handling  indeed the front two wheels aren't just for show and add a little more control when cornering  for that very slight

edge of course whilst the gangster V driving this thing has already paid  off the cops there's of course occasion where a display of power is required and at a relatively  reasonable 38k this ex car of a disgraced Valentino could be just the thing you're looking for to  survive any heated ordeals I found in fact that these extra tires can't be shot out whilst the  car itself can take 100 rounds or five whole mags from dying night direct to the engine  before blowing up or alternatively three ho

le hits from the projectile launcher pair that with  a speed topping out at 118 and you're looking at a pretty balanced allrounder that's just on the  slow side it may still be style over substance but that doesn't mean it's all of the former and  none of the latter and for some of you this will be an offer you can't refuse were you to type  in pimp car on Google you wouldn't get images of this car specifically but you would get results  somewhat similar albeit without the convertible aspect now

as far as we know El Cesar who we  can win this from in beat on the Brat is just a down on his luck boxer not a pimp but this is a  variant model of the Villefort Alvarado Playboy so you know getting this from Cesar is very simple  just beat him in the boxing wager and he'll be forced to Forfeit his ride to you of course you  can be a totally soulless MC and take your wager back too but then you'd be leaving the dude and  his girlfriend out to dry with their unborn kid on the way let me know do

wn below how you tend  to play this one the car pretty much matches the Alvarado delegate in terms of stats but did only  require two projectiles instead of three to blow up so is a little bit weaker that said it ranks  higher in my opinion due to the overly showy gold aesthetic and the fact we can get it for  free kind of potentially in 1.6 I compared it to greased lightning and that hasn't changed I do  think it could be a great setting for a musical number but more than that now it literally

can be  a stylish way to cruise around night city and get into fights with the local law enforcement sure by  the end your preem block of gold won't pick you up any dates but at least the police probably admired  your ride before they utterly ruined it be warned though its status as a convertible will indeed  make you the player more susceptible to getting hit and or dead so taking it out for combat  is kind of like a question of living a quiet life or going out in a blaze of glory delamain may 

have the same speed and endurance as the regular Cortes Valor and he may also be a way bigger  faff to acquire by rounding up all of his Rogue variants and then fighting your way through his  Factory but if you ask me Del is still Superior by quite a long shot and were we ranking these  cars on personality this one would be sitting right near the top alas Del sits comfortably in  C tier and here's some important things you need to know about getting this car quick spoiler warning  for the end o

f don't lose your mind so jump to the next time stamp if you haven't played it yet  so at the end of the quest You'll have to choose from three options incredibly reminiscent of  Mass Effect three destroy delamain and let his variants go reset him and bring them under  control or attempt to merge the personalities into one big old synergized synthesis I've done a  full breakdown for this in my toughest decisions video but in brief the only way to have full-on  philosophical conversations with De

l still is to reset him the other two you'll wind up with  one of two younger sounding variants who offer just a few insert lines here and there with  full-on reset delamain though we can discuss the intricacies of human nature the similarities  between ancient Grecians and night City gangers and a whole lot more not saying it's the best ending  overall and again I go into more detail in another video but purely for the most interesting use of  the car thereafter I'd say go this route and to gen

erate a new conversation with Del just get out  and fast forward another day more of lore flavoring I suppose than a really good car but still bumps  it a few spots above the Valor now something that would have been really cool is if we could have  just input way points and have Del drive us there maybe he drives and we fully focus on shooting but  I guess that would have meant implementing a whole new mechanic for just one car so I can see why  they didn't do it in this game so listen I heard y

ou all on the old cars video I now see even  more the magnitude of hilarity that comes with the idea of night City's resident cyber demigod  driving around in this MaiMai is practically a meme car at this point and for 22k you too can  create some utterly ridiculous looking crime scenes I wonder how many calls there are  to dispatch about a lone merc terrorizing night city streets in a Makigai MaiMai like one a month I  mean it's bound to happen to someone but still if you're looking for Speed l

ook elsewhere you can  barely reach a 100 in this now and the same goes for endurance believe it or not a thing made up  of barely any material Sports some pretty low HP though In fairness I did last way longer against  the cops than I ever expected and no doubt they were probably distracted contemplating the top  five worst decisions they made in their life which have now landed them in whatever the hell this  situation is in addition this one is a master of weaving through traffic thanks to it

s size with a  little more maneuverability than most a few extra points for that though considering bikes exist not  as important as it otherwise would be still with all things considered this one places right at  the top of C tier all right it's time we get to the B tier stuff the basic Archer quartz will set you  back a somewhat more Spenny 31k after being sold by a guy who loved it more than life itself to pay  for his divorce fees a situation which ironically came about because his wife thou

ght he loved the  car more than her now he's lost both but we have gained something reasonably Speedy docked in 2.0  to just 130 mph though that's still a damn sight faster than most of the cars from the previous  tier however this does come at a cost of being somewhat delicate it still took two projectiles  to blow up but just 2.5 mags from night maybe the engine is specifically vulnerable cool bit of  context though behind Archer's original expansion into sports cars and it's all because of th

e hella  that thing literally removed a huge portion of the boring A to B driving Community but by  diversifying with this Archer were able to capture the hearts and minds of both Nomads  and boy Racers everywhere certainly tailored for the got to go fast but on a budget Street kid  community and resultantly 17% of all collisions involve one of these even though they make up just  2% of road traffic the superior starter vehicle has and always will be though with the Thorton  Galena Rattler despi

te that now when you drive it it feels like it's choking to death thanks  to V's personal modifications that said on the actual Road it is still noticeably leagues above  the worst car in the game basic Galena hitting speeds of 130 this one is actually totally  viable for getting around quickly and still worth using for sentimental Nomads not the most  sturdy car in the world but it's Badlands life means reinforced tires and the ability to survive  one whole explosion so by no means terrible and

technically cheaper as well than the basic Galena  see sometime after the prologue V will scrap this and only Rediscover it after the heist receiving  a text that it's back up and running again this is thanks to somebody attempting to fix it up  for themselves who turns out to be none other than YouTuber Alanah Pierce or in this timeline  Lana Prince should have started with the step motor would have been quicker says who and why  cuz it's iffy starts sticking clear the carbon deposits and it s

tarts running like new again  [ __ ] I replaced the entire throttle now back in 1.6 we could buy this from Alanah for a mere  100 eddies which let's be honest was ridiculous that's been raised to a much higher 5K now though  it still doesn't feel like enough for her to get a new vehicle unless I mean maybe the prices on  autofixer could just be a total ripoff to which we're none the wiser hopefully Lana doesn't replace  the next cars brake fluid with water too though and does manage to escape Ni

ght City in real life she  also makes some pretty cool stuff and can be found on YouTube under Charahlanazard the prize for Effective  but affordable SUV goes to the emperor 620 Ragnar quoted as a tank made for City driving and the  ntpd did indeed commission for these things to be their heavyduty squad cars driving it we can  see why all right yeah it can only just about get get past 100 in very preem conditions but in terms of  raw power level this car is an emperor of the road and makes the C

ortez's claim of heaviest vehicle  look even more ridiculous now are there better sizable cars in the department of raw power yes  but generally they're only acquired from quests and if you want a powerful vehicle quick and easy  from autofixer this one will set you back just 38,000 edies they're also heavily utilized by  militech and any law breaking in the Badlands 2 will result in being descended upon by a whole  host of these able to carry up to nine people allegedly or Indeed heavy Weaponry

so yeah this  won't get you ahead of the competition but it will get you on par with it it's also got the kind  of toughness stats you would expect though it is going to get dethroned a little later on what was  once in the top 10 cars is now quite rightfully might I add right the way down here the Quadra  type 66 640 TS is the base variant we get of the car for which we'll have so many derivatives and  unique models back in 1.6 I praised this one for its Supreme handling and lauded the basic m

odel  as one of the best whereas now it gets up to a mere 150 on the flat and its traction control  makes it swerve a hell of a lot more than the other type 66s in my experience it's also got far  lower endurance for combats with zero explosion resistance and not great but not terrible 3.5  dying night mags before it blew up design-wise the green aesthetic is fairly Sleek to its merit  but not nearly enough of a standout when compared to any of the other uniques fortunately it's not  locked behi

nd a price tag and is instead gifted by Dino as a reward for completing all five gigs in  the city center which if you want an interesting breakdown on the intricacies and details of then  check out my video for it otherwise try using this as a baseline with which to compare every other  type 66 at least that's what I'm doing up next is the Quadra type 66 Jen Rowley still the  cheapest to buy Quadra in the game at just 52,000 eddies and now it's been docked in speed too down  to a Max of 150 sam

e as the regular on the flat I do kind of get why they've docked all these speeds  every car beforehand appeared to gravitate towards the upper end of high speed which kind of resulted  in a lack of variance between all of the cars and In fairness to this one there are type 66s out  there now with a slightly weaker endurance than this though they do announce on other merits I  mentioned in 1.6 how this Quadra in particular was a tough one to handle and that still does ring  true in fact this and

the base variant as of this update are the two to feel most similar in that  regard no doubt its handling is a characteristic behind why it's for sale in the first place after  the passionate six streeter who owned it last was quietly removed from life after driving into a  corpo during one of those damned deadly street races tell you what though far as the 66's go in  appearance this is definitely one of the winners in that department with coloration and also  it's designed somewhat modeled of

f of the iconic Dodge Charger from Dukes of Hazzard a fact that  I read in my comments pretty much every week if not day on the first cars video after labeling  this as an homage to Ford Mustangs I hear you all and here I am rectifying that mistake but  you got to understand that show ended a fair many years before I even existed so yeah sorry  about that and thank you to everyone who pointed it out after so many cars got a rebalancing speed  Nerf into 2.0 the Quadra Turbo R does to be fair stan

d out a bit more as one of the speedier  cars in the game maxing out at about 160 on the flat but accelerating like an absolute dream  as you could probably expect from a sports car in fact it's price tag of just 69,000 has made it  the bestselling sports car of the 2070s and after stat reworks for the cars all around it's pretty  clear why not only does it beat type 66s like the Jen Rowley in terms of speed it's also got  some new awesome unique sound effects when accelerating satisfying to dri

ve for definite  and either my driving's gotten better over the past 7 months or the handling of this has been  improved not entirely it can still struggle on Corners though not nearly as much as it did before  we're warned on the website that this thing won't stay available for long and I'm sure that would  have been the case if we weren't autofixers only customer furthermore and this may be a nothing  Factor depending on how damage is applied to vehicles but this one's engine is in the back  a

nd if indeed shooting the engine makes the car explode quicker something that seemed to be  the case when I blew them all up then this one is actually better driving towards pursuers rather  than away from them not that driving away at these speeds is too much of a problem either and this  one paired with some good maneuvering skills is actually fast enough to escape with a top speed  of 170 now Cthulhu is proof that not all type 66s are created equal and while sporting a less flashy  design tha

n the Jen Rowley there's no doubt that this one holds some ancient eldrich power under  the hood I mean that statement actually feels a little Hollow now in Wake of one of the new 2.0  vehicles but we'll come to that this vehicle 666 horsepower at least is a clear reference to all  that demonic imagery it also allows you to plow through most other vehicles with relative ease for  67,000 it can be bought from autofixer but only after completing the beast in me questline which  again I've got a wh

ole video going into but just briefly because it can be hella useful I will  explain the method to get it for free spoiler warning of course for the street races so  jump to the next time stamp if you know so after the Santo Domingo race Claire will ask you to help  her kill Peter Samson for inadvertently causing her husband's death we need to refuse her request  explaining we'll still race but only to win then in the grand finale we do need to leave the race  and follow Peter but after that you

should be able to convince Claire not to go through with it she'll  still give us beast but a few days later Peter will also gift us cthulu it's not overall the best  type 66 out there but it is one of the toughest in the base game losing out to just the superior  Javelina and the new Hoon making it actually the best for combat if you prefer your own guns  over vehicle mounted weapons the Shion mz2 may still very much live in the shadow of the Shion  coyote but I found it much more of a merit u

nto itself in 2.0 as another basic sports car it very  much feels like a superior version of the Archer quartz costing a grander 57 Grand its previous  owner was another example of someone who fancied themselves a racer but simply couldn't maintain  control prior to 2.0 I'd have understood but now I actually find it to be one of the niftiest  best handling nonunique racing cars taking bends like a champ and pleasantly surprising me  where I thought I was going to lose control it's a very popular

night City racing car and clearly  with good reason now as I'd imagine more drivers survive using them more that is not all when  testing durability though it was definitely on the more fragile side understandable it's built for  Speed not duration save for one thing the tires on this car they don't seem to puncture I'm  presuming that's a bug and it's going to get patched later but even still that would have  made it particularly effective in car chases if anyone ever really shot out your tire

s which  still after testing most of these at the time of writing this hasn't happened once not saying I  want that feature it would get kind of annoying after a while like it does in GTA but a tiny part  of me is screaming for that emerging element and saying this aloud now as we get later in the  video yes I do get my tire shut out but not that much to be fair oh and this Shion also  Sports some Prem new sounds have a listen these next two I've buffed massively  up the list for 2.0 and to be f

air back in the first video I literally did say they'd be way  more popular in the future the first of these is the thorton Mackinaw Saguaro or possibly saharo  rewarded by Dakota for completing all nine of her Badlands gigs which again the intricacies  and nuances for you can learn all about in this video but why does a truck with a top speed  of just 125 now manage to sneak its way into this position yep you guessed it this heavily  armored thing provides both an adequate amount of protection

and power for surviving all but the  most heated combat scenario ramming shooting at and to a lesser degree escaping in this one is  incredibly easy up until about four stars when the weaponized hellhounds come rolling in the  tires are very reinforced needing two shots to puncture in the front and three in the back with  over five mags of dying Knights to the engine to blow it up though this may have been an unfair  Advantage here in the fact that I couldn't pop the Bonnet and for the low low p

rice of completing  nine extremely dangerous life-threatening tasks what more could you really ask for there's a  reason Panam was was so desperate to get her variant of this car back and that is the fact  that outside of the Aldecaldo quests this is the closest thing to a tank that we get to drive  then of course we have Beast not a car we need to complete 9 gigs for this one but rather just a  few street races the two cars sport the same info snippet when scanned and are identical stats-wise 

in every single way bar one it would seem which ultimately pushes Beast a nose ahead for me this  time around see in my endurance-based tests the Saguaro blew up after getting hit by just two  projectiles beast on the other hand required three a tiny but nonetheless Superior Edge on  BEAST's behalf when venturing into the most high octane explosive battles though realistically  you won't notice a difference driving either so it's down to your personal aesthetic preference  be warned though you c

an lose out on this one during the beast in me final race if you don't  listen to Claire and do what she wants there's no point me spoiling it here but if you want a full  breakdown on the various outcomes and morality surrounding this Quest then go check out my video  on another five terrible decisions otherwise just like the description says this car is ready for  a wild ride a much more true statement now given we can get the full combat experience with it  look thorton Colby little mule was

already way too much of a facelift than the Colby deserved  previously able to reach speeds of 189 that has now been docked to 137 but in exchange they went  and slapped some guns on the thing fulfilling its Destiny as Warrior vehicle of the Badlands  and so far removed now from the family car of safety and warmth upon which it's based for  just 41k I do believe this to be the cheapest weaponized vehicle in the game and you can afford  that pretty early into act two especially if using the disco

unt coupons by stealing cars for Reyes  this is a stupidly fun mechanic that they've added now these guns seem to have the power of a  mk.31 HMG and never run out of ammo a drawback to this compared to just regularly firing your own  weapons though is the car can only shoot directly forwards and aiming as it were can only be done  by moving around and doing Nifty little Donuts on the plus side that means every time I drive  this thing and enter combat I do find myself recreating one of the best

scenes from no time  to die this is way better for blowing up enemy vehicles and it does so a lot quicker but when  trying to hit human targets accuracy and control can be an issue and I do wish that the weaponized  Vehicles would still let us switch out to our own guns please please correct me if we can do that  I just can't find a key bind that allows it on top of all this though the little mule comes  with very reinforced tires a fair amount of bullet endurance and some explosion resistance 

too if that's not a quality value battle ready Badlands car then I don't know what is and it's  a great first entry to the a tier Vehicles here's a vehicle that I wanted to leave in the top  10 but it's facing a lot of competition the quartz Bandit may not be a tremendous improvement  from the regular quartz on paper jumping from a speed of 130 to just 145 though it does get some  reinforced tires explosion and bullet resistance despite having a very pronounced and targetable  engine mounted on

the back which does to be fair lead to a swifter death in a chase it also costs  a way steeper 69 Grand compared to the basic ones 31 but none of this matters this car isn't about  stats it's about soul and with 2.0's Improvement to many of the engine sounds this one has  received some great treatment of its own it may not be too audible under the Rev of the engine  but I love the underlying new turbo sound just listen honestly this car just has so much  character to it regardless of whether or

not some lower on the list cars could technically  beat it in a race in fact with the relative Nerf the Widow Maker rifle has received in 2.0 it's  almost tempting to not go the extra mile for Panam and Ghost Town and instead receive this car from  Rogue for free immediately after Widowmaker will still crop up eventually but not until Queen  of the highway of course that all depends on whether or not you're happy to ignore Panam but  forgetting this car more easily now I just might be I think it

's great how the devs took their  deliberate worst car of the game and evolved it up to something this good the Galena gecko  was brilliant before don't get me wrong but now on the order of rankings I'd say it's even  better incredibly Nifty and maneuverable are two qualities you absolutely want in a vehicle whose  weapon system is entirely tied to which way it's facing this thing spins around quicker and better  in tight spaces than the little mule ever could and it reaches a higher top speed o

f 150 though do  be warned its endurance stats are all noticeably lower and it would take a mere three magazines  from dying night to the engine to end this thing however huge combat scenarios where this  would meet a swift end and not what it's designed for and there's far more optimized vehicles with  rockets and such for that which I'll cover in the Phantom Liberty followup to this what the gecko is  though is another weaponized vehicle you can get fairly soon into Act 2 with 45k for more eas

ily dealing  with out in the open combat just rock up to some scanner hustles in this thing and spin around  a few times till everyone drops dead it's that easy and for traversing the Badlands especially  this thing Sports a killer suspension perfect for bumpy terrain something that's always been the  case but I will reiterate here and I'm confident to say that it's one of the most Nimble Badlands  cars of the base game not the best it's too weak for that but it does maneuver brilliantly what do

  you get when you yet again take the quadra type 66 improve it again but more than cthuhlu and Jen Rowley  this time then top it off with a sick ass silver paint job and black Racing Stripes you of course  get the Quadra type 66 Avenger a Ford Mustang which as I said in the last video too Bears some  resemblance to the Batmobile that Robert Patterson drives now this may not be the the best or even  second best type 66 anymore before accounting for Phantom Liberty but it is without a doubt  one

of the sleekest designs that doesn't sport 50 million bells and whistles improving vastly  On Cthulu at least we have 777 horsepower and a top speed of 182 surpassing even the V Tech now  though do be warned its endurance stats haven't really improved at all upon the regular type  66 and I would recommend using this to escape the law but probably not to face it or any gangs  for that matter an overall improved model though of course comes at a steeper price and this one  is 75k getting into terr

itory now that's lining up with some of the best cyberware gear that's  going to make far more noticeable improvements on your game especially given you can get better  cars than this for free though I get for some of you it's all about design and in that regard  you are going to look and feel like a total badass cruising night City in this thing the Archer  quartz Sidewinder has been in the game since the beginning and if you ever stole someone else's you  two would know it was a really nice ca

r to drive all brilliant quirks of the Bandit but supped up  for badlands terrain sadly it was never ownable until now twice over there's the base Sidewinder  with rockets that I'll cover in Phantom Liberty cars but also now in the regular game you can buy  the quartz Spectre from autofixer for 79k that's just 10 more than the Bandit and whilst I love  that car I can't pretend this one doesn't beat it in every department whilst maintaining that same  look feel 160 top speed 520 horsepower and di

d I mention mounted guns yeah okay you don't get the  iconography of the Bandit and the two were pretty much on par in endurance testing but for the less  frequent time we need to use cars now thanks to air Dash I did find myself shamefully having more  fun with the Spectre and that Badlands suspension too makes the handling exceptional and I'm really  glad we can finally own this properly it may not be the best Badlands car or even second best but  if you like the bandit then you'll really like

this before we had literal Bond cars which could  actually do cool spy shit we had the Herrera Outlaw a Sleek yet powerful awesome looking car  that ultimately was just smooth to drive with a perfect balance of speed and handling today  it reaches speeds of about 175 but paired with that residual ability to cruise the streets with  immense control it is still one of the absolute best road cars money can buy to Traverse night  City with that money specifically totaling 92,000 eddies definitely w

ant to save up a few coupons  from car missions to buy first but totally worth doing so with allegedly just 1,000 left in the  world too this is undoubtedly a car for the elite and whilst V will be getting this sweet view of  modern yet not too futuristic dials we as players will predominantly be seeing a nice looking rear  Grill of pinkish lights and the Herrera logo which totally isn't a copy my homework just don't make  it look obvious rendition of the jaguar or Puma logos but whilst this is

a top tier street car  a street car it is only taking this to the bad lands is a bad idea not only will you ruin your  preem new ride but you'll also witness it in a far worse light getting snagged up on Every Little  Rock and shrub that it comes across couple that with the just okay resistance to damage not to  mention the fact it was the first time I actually had a tire shot out and okay yeah it was really  annoying I completely take back what I said I'm very glad this isn't a more common occu

rrence  please don't change it anyway all this is to say keep it out of the Badlands this car belongs  exclusively in night City where street corners to hide from pursuers are just around every Well  street corner now if you're wondering what a truck with awful acceleration that's barely  capable of exceeding 100 mph is doing so very high up the list well then my Choom why don't you sit  down and let me tell you the story of the arcade game the mattress and the hexadecimal code just  let me warn

you when we get to the end your grasp on what reality actually is well it might start to  slip the Mackinaw Demiurge is the reward for lack of a better word for solving for another lack of a  better word the ff06B5 mystery an often hugely blown out of proportion conspiracy that has been  so fun to discuss for the last few years finally in 2.0 though the devs gave back the same amount  of Love we put into investigating it and created a huge multi-part solution it involved Clues  from The Witcher

3 hexadecimal code conversions Wolfenstein clone arcade games and a fair amount  of sitting AFK it's one of the most interesting sets of videos I've ever created and I'd highly  recommend checking out my three-part series when you're done here for full context though I  wouldn't be able to paraphrase it in this video without spanning at least half of it but there is  a shortcut because all you essentially have to do for the truck has come to these coordinates in the  Badlands wait on this mattr

th an exposed engine a not particularly bullet resistant monster  it's also the weightiest thing we can own in the base game but packs a ton of horsepower to  compensate basically terrorizing the roads towering above everyone else and crushing those on  the ground it's sturdy but can still get knocked around by other vehicles so not definitively  the winner when it comes to power however it does traverse obstacles better than anything else  and can even have a good go getting into the huge landf

ill area a very unique vehicle and Driving  Experience unlike any other locked behind one of the absolute craziest most esoteric Mysteries  ever seen in a video game and it's predominantly that fact that makes it the first entry into S tier they say that some of the best things in life are free oxygen my videos and more importantly  this next car which is arguably the most iconic of vehicles in cyberpunk 2077 splashed across  promotional material and being one of the only cars to sport a Witcher

Bubblehead alongside the  starter hella make this in my eyes a car canonically owned by V though what is and isn't Canon won't  be a problem of course until we get to a sequel in fact I'm very curious to see how they deal with  all of that but alas the turbo r v tech is of course a supped up version of the basic model with top  speed increased though not by that much to be fair from 160 to 170 and in fact upon reaching this  you can actually kind of hear the engine reach its limit though it's s

till very much a car designed  with speed as a priority accelerating with extreme power and sporting a massive 740 horsepower a huge  boost to the first ones 480 these modifications seem to have been made out of gratitude by the  Sixth Street mechanic Jake Estevez after we saved his car from the ire of an angry mob boss who  was continually getting made a [ __ ] of his flirtatious wife had an affair with Jake and well  others too you can learn about it in my heywood gigs video anyway after compl

s rebalancing it  now reaches 150 on the flats as opposed to 160 before but but given the dock in speed for  most cars it probably makes it comparatively faster now in the overall ranking sitting in the  kind of upper Mid First speed of course with the twists and turns of cruising night city streets  handling and acceleration are equally important factors and not only does this one excel in  both but the sound of the turbo has this sort of understatedness you really don't want to miss this  one

ne Grayson was talking about h okay got a lot of memories in this car let's  go now look carefully at the passenger side dashboard and we can actually see the signature  of lead vehicle artist Jakub Przybeliwski very cool extra detail though do not expect this one to last long  in any fights though comparatively to the rest as it took just two and a half mags to explode this  thing with dying night though In fairness I do gotta say all vehicles last a hefty amount Longer  Now by defaults than th

ey would have done in 1.6 so as you can expect most of this car's points  are one simply for being a Porsche 911 which just about secures it its place in s tier do you  want to stand out be noticed be bold do you have an insanely High number of edies to burn and  genuinely can't think of anything better to spend it on than perhaps it's time you bought the  Rayfield Aerondight Guinevere for 155,000 not actually the most expensive vehicle in the game anymore  but we'll get to that in the Phantom L

iberty video as before this was previously canonically  owned by the ambassador of Argentina who had to pawn off his worldly possessions and flee the  city after his country instigated martial law previously it was just a very nice car and a huge  status symbol though ridiculously expensive by anyone's standards now it actually has a little  more utility as one of the beefiest hypercars in the game needing 5.5 dying nights to the engine  or three whole projectiles but as more of a street car no

reinforcement in the tyres which in this  instance did get shot out again and I'm starting to wonder if that's just a feature you get at  four or five stars a wanted level difficult to reach unless you're stopping and fully engaging in  combat with the police something again which this excels at and the lack of Windows made it very  hard for V themselves to get hits though that does also annoyingly mean that we can't fire straight  ahead but rather have to navigate our targets to the side or rea

r of the car kind of the inverse to  weaponized vehicles I guess it did survive though for a lot longer than most cars would in this  scenario and had I wanted to I could have easily driven away and not been caught with this thing  still topping 190 same as in 1.6 though of course that speed is a lot more meaningful since so few  cars can reach it now but with 950 horsepower too this is also one of the best cars for just barging  through traffic and where a stray obstacle would usually send me s

werving I felt comfortably in  full control at all times in this vehicle suffice it to say in 2.0 the Aerondight's overall stats make  it a lot more worthy of that Hefty price tag and I haven't even had to mention yet the fact that Aerondight references the legend of King Arthur or indeed that it's also the name of the best sword from  The Witcher games with all the changes in 2.0 I really expected this one to fall a little further  down the list but the shion coyote continues to be one of my al

l time favorite cars and now it has  bloody guns on the front what more could you ask for at 77 Grand it is on the more expensive side  of Badlands vehicles but a hell of a lot cheaper I think than the bonewrecker which of course comes  at the heavy heavy cost of locking you out of what a tenth of the overall game I mean the bigger  Parts at least despite that even the coyote is just better in every way with a top speed of 170  which yes has been docked and now places it below the Javelina but i

s still very good then a far  greater horsepower of 570 despite the same weight sure it's not going to let you tear into a military base mounted guns blazing and survive and in fact we won't really get to cars that can do that until  the Phantom Liberty video but the reinforced tires and basic resistance do offer some durability  and what with Militech being the more powerful law enforcement of the Badlands cruising around in one  of these stands you a better chance of surviving that Onslaught a

nd fighting back of course unless  you prefer it for the aesthetic preference though it is no longer the go-to Badlands vehicle  but might just beat the next entry still on suspension alone matching the Avenger for Speed  at 182 the Quadra Javelina then beats that one as the souped up Badlands variant in its armor  rating with an insane 1,000 horsepower despite a weight lower than that of the Avenger you'll find  few cars in 2077 or even Phantom Liberty for that matter packing so very much power

behind the hood  of course with Badlands suspension and armor too this car is a triple threat now of speed power and  endurance it's got triple reinforced rear tires and double on the front and over four mags of  dying night to the engine or two projectiles is what it took to take this thing down turns out  that explosion resistance extends to mines too by the way though they're a little weaker with the  car only exploding after i'd driven over the third one but actually that's not all let's ca

ll this  a quadruple threat with the mounted side cannons included too you can plow through traffic both  as a battering ram and a well just a weapon in general and in fact that's how Reyes described  it on the website when trying to convince you to part with the 99k Eddies in exchange again  don't forget the coupons but even without them that is absolutely worth the price even if we  took away all the bells and whistles this thing is still a roaring monster with exhausts poking  out the top of

the car so you can both feel and see the absolute furnace blazing inside clearly  not the best car in the base game in my opinion but depending on how you looked at it you could  definitely reason that it is if you thought the caliburn was getting dethroned as the fastest  car of the game then think again now I need to double check all the Phantom Liberty Vehicles  before definitively stating that but I'm 95% sure this is still the case the caliburn's relatively  unchanged top speed of about 208

now holds a lot more meaning when we consider that it's just a  small handful of cars that can now get anywhere near that I predicted back in the last Cars video  that after 2.0 speed and handling wouldn't be the only determining factors to the quality of a car  anymore and that this thing would be nerfed by the fact that it's fragile as hell actually though it  performed pretty well on the endurance test not as exceptionally as the Aerondight granted but that's  quite a good thing since Rayfie

ld's stupidly expensive other car is now at least better at  something but since both of these come with Crystaldome windows and no built-in weapon systems  there is again an inability to shoot straight ahead and results in this awkward opening of the  doors during combat mind you that's not to say this is a car to always run away from fights in  indeed its 1660 horsepower acceleration and just all round good handling give this one the ability  to maneuver tight spaces with exceptional control a

nd the speed at which it suddenly goes makes  it one of the few cars that enemies can't really sidestep so no shooting frontwards no problem just  drive forwards instead couple this with the fact that we can get murk man's model absolutely free  and you're still looking at one of the best cars in the game and still probably the best for simply  getting from A to B in my opinion just return to the Badlands tunnel after completing ghost town  until you come across this shipping container that's co

ntaining it equally you can pick up the  one from Auto fixer for 135 Grand which is white and gold though some people might tell you it's  blue and black if you get that reference why would you buy a second one well obviously in case you  lose the first one and still want to get to your destination as fast as possible without waiting  on the 5 minute cooldown which is actually more useful than you'd expect easy s tier and still  king of speed with some nice new sounds now as well but with all th

e new changes to cars in  2.0 the definitive best is no longer just a question of speed nor power handling Weaponry or  design but rather it's a culmination of all these things and the car I enjoy driving the most now  before getting to Phantom Liberty Vehicles has got to be the Quadra type 66 Hoon added in 2.0 and  discoverable in a warehouse up in northside you'll find the keys to the thing under a shelf nearby  after which the car will be yours absolutely free with the same toughness performa

nce as  the Havalina but just a top speed of 170 it of course doesn't win in the speed department  but consider the fact that it also has mounted guns and is of course free and we start to get  somewhere but really where this thing takes Victory is in its design it is of course modeled  as an homage to the hoonicorn and Ken Block who tragically passed away in January of this year an  incredible rally driver and absolute YouTube Star seriously type in Ken Block and just watch some  of the crazy s

tuff the man could do and this car well its handling is just fantastic brilliant  control both off-road and on allowing us just to attempt to recreate some of the crazy drifts  and turns that Ken Block was capable of pulling off not that I can drive nearly well enough in  this game to do that but maybe you'll have better luck on the side we can see Ken Block's initials  and year of birth and death alongside his rally number of 43 overall I'd say that the general  paintwork and decoration of this

thing really does make you feel like a rally driver and since  traversing the streets of night city is rarely a straightforward Drive I won't get hung up on it  not being the fastest indeed cornering well and maintaining good momentum are just as important  to getting around overall and now with fights to consider too this armored vehicle won't leave  you high and dry for that either whilst other cars can definitely beat it in individual  departments the overall makeup of the Hoon as well as th

e touching tribute that it also is  make it the top of the list for me and a solid s tier for now at least because we of course  still have about 20 Phantom Liberty vehicles to look into alongside now seven bikes which  I'm also going to revisit in Wake of the 2.0 update some of those cars are also going to  fire Rockets whilst the bikes now allow you to swing katas like some mounted cyber Knight for  now comment below your favorite car from the base game and why is speed still the most importan
