Quadra Turbo R vs Turbo R V-Tech

Comparing The Quadra Turbo R vs Turbo R V-Tech

Intro

After unlocking the Quadra Turbo R V-Tech I've noticed there are some differences between the V-Tech and the regular Turbo R (740). I tested both of them to see if the differences are cosmetic only or if there is any difference in performance... Here are my findings:

Visual Differences

Front

The biggest visual difference between the 2 vehicles is the Body Kit. The Turbo R V-Tech has a wide body kit at the front and the back. Also, the regular Turbo R has exposed wheels at the front while the V-Tech has a cover added. The V-Tech has a larger Front Bumper and it also has 2 air intakes on the hood.

Back

At the back of the car the major difference is that the V-Tech has a Spoiler and the regular Turbo R doesn't. The V-Tech also has a more complex exhaust system. and some other pipes. It also has 2 metal bars in a V shape just behind the back window. The back wheels are much wider on the V-Tech.

Interior

The interior is exactly the same in both cars, except the V-Tech has a mini figure near the door.

Performance

The Turbo R V-Tech feels a bit faster. Acceleration from a standstill is around the same, however at higher speeds the V-Tech picks up speed a lot better than the regular Turbo R.

In terms of top speed the Turbo R V-Tech has a top speed of 188 MPH, while the regular Turbo R only manages to reach a top speed of 181 MPH. Not only does the regular Turbo R has a lower top speed, but it also reaches that top speed slower than the V-Tech.

Acceleration:

	0-60	0-100	0-160	Top Speed
Quadra Turbo R (740)	3.07 s	5.33 s	16.13 s	181 MPH
Quadra Turbo R V-Tech	3.02 s	4.57 s	12.19 s	188 MPH

Handling & Sound

Handling feels about the same, except The V-Tech has a bit more grip around the corner. However, both can slide out especially at lower speeds and high RPMs...

While we are at RPMs the V-Tech revs way higher. It also redlines for a bit before it goes into the next gear. The regular Turbo R has a much calmer sound, and it's more relaxing to drive around.

The regular Turbo R struggles to pick up speed after taking a sharp corner, but the V-Tech has a very aggressive pull out of corners. It feels like it has way more torque.

Regular Turbo R Worth 129,000 eddies?

Definitely not!

129,000 eddies is a lot of money to spend on a car. You could buy the Quadra Type 66 Javelina for almost half the price, and that car handles better than both Turbo Rs, and it also has around the same top speed. So the regular Turbo R definitely does not worth the money. Although if you have the money it has a unique blue paint job.
