    If anyone is in doubt about buying the Ferrari FXX, here's a link to the exact sound of the engine on A8.

    http://youtu.be/U-rRtLRY-i4


    I personally decided not to buy because I did not like:

    The sound of the engine (NOT REAL).

    Wheel color (NOT BLACK).

    Front design (Looks like a leggy mosquito face).


    ;)

    I dont really know if I should buy all the cheap cars to get more stars, or whatnot.

    I prefer the 458 Italia, but I think the general belief in the thread is that the GT-R is a better purchase option.

    I personally prefer the 458.
    Some prefer the GTR but I skipped it and went straight to the Italia and I have to say it served me very well long term.

    @Outspoken. There's an add me thread for this so if you look that up, there's a good few of us in there that you can add. Just be sure to mention its from the forum.

    Asphalt 8. Citroën Survolt in Monaco.

    [​IMG]
    (Click/tap for orig. iPad 4 resolution.)

    Citroën Survolt is a concept electric racing car produced by Citroën and presented at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The Survolt is a small-sized racing car based on the concept car REVOLTe. Because the car runs on battery power alone, it is classed as a zero-emissions vehicle.

    The Survolt is 3.85 metres (12.63 feet) long, 1.87 metres (6.14 feet) wide and 1.20 metres (3.94 feet) high and features a design with the front dominated by the vehicle's badge located above the large oval-shaped grille.The car has horizontal LED headlamps which have lower power consumption than traditional filament bulbs — important in a battery-operated vehicle. At the back, the Survolt maintains the light cluster design used on the REVOLTe, and has a spoiler to increase rear downforce.

    The Survolt is powered by a pair of electric motors with a combined power output of 300 bhp (223.71 kW). Its top speed is 260 kph (161.56 mph), and it can accelerate from 0–100 kph (62.2 mph) in less than 5 seconds.[1]
    Citroën claims that the batteries provide a range of 200 km (120 mi).

    @habakuk nice find :D one thing that would be interesting is knowing it's range at full speed, as we would drive it in A8.

    I remember a Top Gear episode once with an electric car like this that didnt last very long when it was driven fast!

    Yup. Would like to know that as well. Maybe some1 has upgraded more than me:

    I think the gray parts of the (mostly blue) bars indicate max upgrades.

    Must be frustrating if you lead the crowd as #1 and run out of battery ten meters before finish. (Good that there is infinite and free gas/electricity in A8 cars but the Cit should last even those five minutes races in A8.) :D

    But looks pretty good in my opinion (didn't regret to buy it as my first tier B car some days ago):

    That Survolt sure is a nice looking car. ;) I'll have to save up for it in this game.

    Does anyone know if the songs that play in the menu are licensed? If they are, what are they called?
    Two of them sound pretty sweet

    Thanks a lot!! The one called moby glitch sounds amazing
    Just went through the entire list but couldn't find one of them (the one (of the few) which plays when you start the game).. Starts off with guitar picking till a beat kicks in later)
    Guess I'll only be hearing it when I play the game :)

    Dunno really, I didn't do anything special other than choosing the right cars as I was going along.
    I found the Veneno, Ferrari F12, Audi S4, Lotus Exige and Ferrari F12 to be the most productive cars for me personally.
    They did need upgrading at different stages but not too much which left me with a lot of cash to have 41 or 42 of the cars before I did a reset and started over.
    I did also focus at one stage on five starring all my races also as the challenge stars are key to further unlocking.
    In saying that the Sesto Elemento is great fun and both Rufs were good buys.

    After the reset I'm finding it extraordinarily easy to progress as I bought the C and D packs (I thought the game deserved it) and I've a lot of cash to focus on buying differently to see how it works.

    Can't really off we much advice beyond focus on getting five stars as much as you can and buy/upgrade wisely and only when you absolutely have to.

    Oh and handling upgrades are the best upgrade. They make everything easier. Don't go to max handling as it won't be necessary for anything other then the Agera (very unruly car but ever so fast, not easy to control though). About level 3 should be as far as you need.
    And the Ruf 12 is the best car in the game. Acceleration aint great on it but at full upgrades its quite a machine.

    @underage, I love the Bleach one myself.

    I believe we are still in the process of uploading songs there so it's possible it might appear later on!

    I'll be checking the page frequently then, haha

    Rip, I like that one too, actually. Just hoping the guitar one gets uploaded sometime

    Edit: I has this question since asphalt 3. Why are the Porsches called RUFs? Is it because gameloft didn't get the rights?
