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 let'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 admittedly 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 vehicle 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 horsepower 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 bullying 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 thorton 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 one 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  which 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 actually  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  disappear 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 don'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 effect 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 police 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 drive 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  Alvarado 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 basically 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 head 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 cool 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 heavyweight  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  makes 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 hole   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 down 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 of 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 Del 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   generate 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   you 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 look 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 its 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 thought 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 the 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 despite 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 starts 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 Night 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 Cortez'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 model  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 behind 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 same 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 off 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   stand 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 drive 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  and 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 than 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 whole 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 unto   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 tires 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 fair 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 price 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 can 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 discount 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 of 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 easily 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 territory 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 car 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 did 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 want 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 occurrence  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 mattress sometime within the   hour of 4:00 a.m. literally don't move or anything  for about 7 to eight real life minutes until this   happens we'll go through a cut scene get a glimpse  into the base code of the universe read about a   man quite possibly stumbling into God's office  before finally inheriting said same man's truck   is it a reward is it the key to something even  more well I'll tell you what it is for now it's   a set of four triple reinforced tyres a double  explosion resistant Chassis and with 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   landfill 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 still 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 completing the life's work  gig and saving Jake's life's work well'll unlock   the side quest sex on Wheels wherein we retrieve  this Ward absolutely free or I suppose technically   at the cost of venturing into one very deadly  garage and retrieving a far inferior vehicle   whilst the turbo r v tech may be the most iconic car  purely of this game's making Johnny's Porsche 911   Turbo is an opportunity to drive a beautiful piece  of real life iconography all modified to fit the   2077 setting with this update'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 and to anyone who doesn't know it's found   in a shipping container at the Ebunike Docks during  the chippin' in quest doesn't matter how we resolve   that one so long as we come up here and push this  button lowering the container to reveal my ride   hop in I'll even let you drive if you bring this  one to the date for blistering love Rogue will   also mention that her and Johnny used to drive  around in this when they dated this Johnny's porch where'd you get it that's what was in the  container the one 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 they 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 Liberty   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 rear 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 swerving 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 all 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 is 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 and 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 call 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 Rayfield'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   and 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 containing 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 the 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 performance 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 stuff 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 the 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 important to  you or is it a careful balance of varying factors   now huge thanks as always to the supporters over  on patreon for going the extra mile and keeping   these videos free of irrelevant sponsors thank you  for watching and stay tuned for part two covering   all the new vehicles from Phantom Liberty I'm  Sam Bram and I'll see you soon in another video
