The Three Kings of Gran Turismo 5

The top three fastest machines of Gran Turismo 5 based on everyone's experiences (especially showing it on Special Stage Route 7, the favorite racetrack for those who want to push their cars to the max) are the ones everyone's bragging about. I know it's rude to brag on others or what we Filipinos say, Payabangan ng mga mabibilis, If Goin Bulilit's going to make a sketch on "Payabangan ng mga mabibilis na kotse", I say go for it.

Anyway, based on my research, experience, and test drives, here are the Three Kings of Gran Turismo 5 and how to obtain one and my 100のヴィ学 on these.

Number 3: Bugatti Veyron 16.4

Bugatti Veyron

Bugatti Veyron

How to get it: Find one in the used car dealer for just a whopping 2,000,000 credits. It's a rare find! An alternative way to get it is to win the Supercar Challenge in A-Spec.

100のヴィ学: The world's most expensive and the most fastest supercar on the world takes its center stage on GT5. Don't think that this is new to you because this king was appeared in various video games, especially the Gran Turismo PSP video game. On straightways, the Veyron is invincible but on corners, the Veyron is somewhat extremely hard to handle despite its 4WD drive-train. Supercars like the Lexus LFA, Nissan GTR, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and especially the original king, the McLaren F1, are afraid to challenge this ultimate monster, but I say that challenging a Veyron to a Le Mans Prototype is strictly not recommended because of the weight. I see why most GT5 players often try it out on some tracks or show it off on Special Stage Route 7. It only blows away normal production, concept, and tuner cars, but not recommended against LMPs and lightweight race cars.

Number 2: Formula Gran Turismo

Formula Gran Turismo

Formula Gran Turismo

How to get it: Rare find at the used car dealer or better yet, ONLINE DEALERSHIP! The cost of the Formula GT ranges below the 5 million credit mark. Save up some cash on that one!

100のヴィ学: Since GT3 and GT4, the Formula GT is the new king, dethroning the original Gran Turismo king, the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Version/Dirt Trial Car. It also came in the GT PSP game. The Formula Gran Turismo is not just a required car for the six-track, 20-lap, Formula GT championship, but a perfect car on almost all A-Spec races. Even more than the Ferrari F10 and the F2007, the Formula GT is a Standard Tier car that is forced to be reckoned with. In online battles, most players may find them challenging.

NUMBER ONE: RED BULL X2010 (FORMERLY X1 PROTOTYPE)

X2010 (S. Vettel special model)

X2010 (S.Vettel special model)

How to get it: For the special S. Vettel model, complete the Red Bull Challenge on the Special Events section. Please take note that relying on the stick controller alone may not help you win the Red Bull Challenge. It's a trial and error process so try and try until you get the target time. If you're not into that, you can get the original X2010 model but the process would be difficult. Reach the maximum A-Spec level of 40 and gain 20,000,000 credits to obtain one. The Red Bull X2010 is the most expensive car on this game. If you can't afford, find an online buddy who has an extra X1 Prototype to share it but your online buddy will ask you that he/she will give you the X1 Prototype in exchange of a more expensive car. Think of the Ferrari F10 and F2007, Jaguar XJ13, Ford Mark IV, Ferrari 330 P4, or even the forbidden (banned in real life but not in GT games) Chaparral 2J. If you received his/her X1 Prototype, keep that in mind that there is only one phrase you shall remember; Utang Mo, Please? (Your Debt, Please?) To repay the debt, you have to play hard to reach A-Spec Level 40, have 20,000,000 credits, and obtain your own X1 Prototype in order to repay the debt he/she owes you from the X1 Prototype.

100のヴィ学: The fastest racecar in the history of Gran Turismo, outranking the Formula GT and henceforth be known as the King of Gran Turismo cars for now. With over 500kg of weight and over 1000PS of power output, the Red Bull X1 Prototype or X2010 now is the ultimate racing machine everyone dream to have one. In B-Spec races, this is a great way to level up your low-ranking driver on extreme races. If they show it on online races, what they expect? They will just bow down. Honestly, I borrowed it from a fellow GT5 player in exchange for a 12,500,000 Ferrari F2007 and I promise not to show it on an online race. I made my promise not to brag and remain humble on the X1 Prototype. Bragging is a total waste and it may disappoint the previous owner of this machine.
