As a mobile racing game, it’s expected that Ace Racer would have a large catalog of cars to unlock and use across many of its different game modes. And in this regard, the game definitely does not disappoint as it does have many different vehicles of a variety of categories, types, and power levels to choose from. And while this is a very welcome feature of this game, it also raises an important question: Which is the best car in Ace Racer? This is what we aim to answer in this article, as we’ll be giving our own Ace Racer tier list where we’ll mention a few of the game’s many vehicles and rank them from best to worst.

Best Ace Racer Tier List (Vehicles)

1. S Tier Ace Racer Vehicles
2. A Tier Ace Racer Vehicles
3. B Tier Ace Racer Vehicles
4. C Tier Ace Racer Vehicles

Ace Racer has a pretty straightforward gacha summoning system that, sadly, has very low odds of actually resulting in new cars. And while there are many ways of scoring specific vehicles in this game, particularly through events, the vast majority of your pulls will come from opening Speedfest Supply Chests in the store. These chests have, among other things, a low chance of resulting in new vehicles, though they will most often result in either Gold, parts for a specific vehicle or, on rare occasions, Universal Parts, which can be used for upgrading any vehicle in your garage.

Meanwhile, the odds of obtaining full vehicles from opening Speedfest Supply Chests are very low, often far below a 1% chance per pull. In this sense, not only will you probably be spending a lot of time grinding for Gift Cards to purchase Supply Chests from the store, but it’ll probably be a while before you actually get a full car from them, let alone a top tier Ace Racer vehicle. Even if you’re rerolling in Ace Racer, it’ll probably take some time before you pull a good vehicle from these chests. Nevertheless, if you’re playing Ace Racer on PC with BlueStacks, you can get access to tools through which you can significantly expedite the reroll process.

Nevertheless, knowing which cars to look for in the gacha is still exceedingly important, as it often won’t be worth it to drop resources and upgrade materials on vehicles that are subpar or weak. And this is precisely where this Ace Racer tier list comes in. In the following table, you’ll find a breakdown of several noteworthy Ace Racer vehicles, divided into tiers of descending quality. 

S Tier

This list will serve as a quick help guide for those who are just looking to learn about the best Ace Racer cars. Moreover, further down below, you’ll also find a deeper dive into each of these vehicles so that you can learn why we ranked them in their respective spots, as a way to help you understand our choices and possibly create your own tier lists in the future. As such, if you don’t really care about the “why”, simply stick to the list above when trying to find the best Ace Racer cars. However, for those who want a better grasp of this mobile racing game, then we invite you to keep reading.

S Tier Ace Racer Vehicles

These are the best vehicles in the game of their respective categories. Simply put, these can basically win you the race singlehandedly, or are the ones that can provide the best boosts for your teammates, in the case of the Supporter vehicles on this tier. In other words, if you’re rerolling in Ace Racer, you’ll want at least one of these cars in your garage.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS

At the moment of writing, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is actually available for free in Ace Racer as part of the Rookie Program. As such, even if you have the worst luck when rerolling, you’re at least guaranteed to receive a top tier Speedster after you play for at least 7 days.

This car is so good that we don’t even know where to start when describing its strengths. First off, its Cyclone Charge ultimate is an excellent skill that sends your car into a powerful frontal leap, gaining a burst of speed as it corkscrews in the air, granting acceleration and auto-cornering while the car is in the air. This skill also increases nitro duration for a few seconds after the car lands back on the road. 

While its ultimate is great, this Porsche also has a variety of awesome attributes, including a massive speed burst in the first few seconds of the race; the ability to generate increased nitro when in another car’s slipstream, and increased ultimate charge rate when in mountainous stages. This combination of skills and attributes makes the Porsche 911 GT2 RS into arguably the best Speedster car in Ace Racer.

Aston Martin Vanquish

While overtaking vehicles with ease is something we’d expect mostly from Speedsters, the Aston Martin Vanquish can pull off this feat as a Supporter, while also providing important bonuses to its teammates.

With its ultimate, this vehicle can basically become ethereal, making itself immune to collisions and gaining acceleration for the duration. Moreover, while this ultimate is active, the Vanquish gains additional acceleration whenever it passes through enemy vehicles. On top of that, when activated, this ultimate also grants ultimate charge to all non-supporter teammates within 600m.

While its ultimate is quite impressive, and certainly makes it noteworthy, the Vanquish’s attributes aren’t as significant, only offering nitro bonuses when drifting, as well as the ability to generate nitro when in another car’s slipstream.

Ares

One of the most impressive aspects of the Ares is that it’s not only regarded as an S tier vehicle, but it’s also easily available from the very beginning, as you can choose to unlock it as your first vehicle.

Simply put, the Ares is a beast of an Interceptor, with an ultimate that makes it turn into a bumper car for a duration, significantly crippling the vehicles it bumps into, while also granting the Ares additional top speed when plowing through destroyable environmental objects. This ultimate is so powerful that it’s enough to single handedly catapult this vehicle into the S tier, especially when used correctly, as players can extend its effects considerably by crashing into enemy vehicles when it’s active.

Helios

Unlike the Ares, the Helios Interceptor is not available from the beginning. In fact, as a Legendary vehicle, it’ll probably be a while before you’re able to unlock it. Nevertheless, thanks to its powerful skill set, it’s probably easy to say that this is one of the best vehicles in Ace Racer in its respective category.

The Helios is basically a dominator when he’s at the front of the pack, being able to unleash fiery doom from its tires with its ultimate for a duration. Enemy vehicles that come into contact with these flames will lose durability, as well as lose their ECU and Slipstream benefits. To aid in the correct usage of this ultimate, the Helios has an attribute that increases its top speed at the start of the race. As such, getting the most out of it requires the player to be skilled and hold the leadership until the car’s ultimate is charged up.

A Tier Ace Racer Vehicles

Just like their S Tier counterparts, the vehicles in this tier are very good on most occasions. However, they lack the raw power that the cars in the above tier possess. Nevertheless, one of these babies can easily carry you far into Career Mode, as well as give you excellent results in most other game modes.

Volkswagen I.D. R

Like the Ares, the Volkswagen I.D. R is available from the very beginning, as one of the options that you can choose as your starter vehicle. 

As a Supporter vehicle, the I.D. R is a solid choice if you plan on helping out your teammates win races. In fact, this car has the same ultimate as the Aston Martin Vanquish, though they differ in attributes. Case in point, this vehicle is a bit more lackluster, with the only notable attribute being the fact that its turbos have the same duration as super turbos. However, while this bonus might seem quite small, it can actually play a vital role in this car’s capabilities to overtake other vehicles.

BMW I8

As an Interceptor, the BMW I8 is more about limiting its enemies’ capabilities rather than disrupting them outright, being able to delay their ultimate skills significantly while zooming past them with its own ultimate.

The BMW I8 is capable of creating an electric barrier around itself with its ultimate, which guarantees a constant acceleration boost for a few seconds, while also zapping all nearby enemy vehicles. While zapping them, they suffer from speed loss, and also lose some of their ultimate charge, making it harder for them to fight back. This skill is even more effective considering that one of the I8’s attributes allows it to start each race with a bit of ultimate charge, giving it access to this skill sooner than your opponents.

Ford Mustang

If you didn’t unlock the Ares from the start, then the Ford Mustang is the next best thing, considering that it has the exact same ultimate skill. The main difference comes from its rarity, as this car is an Epic vehicle, while the Ares is only Rare, making it much easier to obtain the latter. Nevertheless, if you luck out and score the Mustang from the gacha, then you’re in for a treat.

Another important difference here comes from their attributes. While the Ares has a chance to trigger boosts when colliding into other vehicles, the Mustang gains a ton of nitro charge per second, though this skill only activates passively 45 seconds into the race. When triggered, this skill ensures not only the speed boosts that come from using nitro, but it’ll also give this vehicle guaranteed access to its ultimate skill, considering that the main way to build up the ultimate gauge is by spending nitro.

While this car is significantly more difficult to obtain than the Ares, the passives more than make up for it.

Rocketfox

The Rocketfox is a pretty straightforward Speedster car, with abilities that not only give it powerful speed boosts, but also allow it to maintain them for prolonged periods. As such, this car has no real gimmicks or tricks up its sleeve—it’s just very fast and good at what it does. Though this lack of variety is both a blessing and a curse, as while it’s very easy to pick up and use, it’s still a Legendary car, which makes it very difficult to obtain, and also puts it beneath others in the same rarity that might have a bit more going for them.

Nevertheless, what’s there is quite powerful, as the Rocketfox’s ultimate sends it into a significant speed boost for a short duration, during which the car gains additional top speed and turbo throughout its duration, while also gaining some assistance in cornering, and loses less speed from collisions. This goes hand in hand with one of its most powerful attributes, which gives the Rocketfox a significant nitro charge every time the car passes through a boost. This not only grants it more speed, but also gives it frequent access to its ultimate skill.

B Tier Ace Racer Vehicles

These are the average cars that are neither good nor bad. And though these can also net you great results in the right hands, they’re nowhere near the S Tier and A Tier vehicles in terms of power and utility. As such, we recommend swapping some of these cars out as soon as you get something better from the gacha.

Volkswagen Beetle

One of the most interesting aspects about the Beetle is that, despite being the lowest possible rarity, it still earns a spot in the B Tier, which makes it quite competent despite the fact. 

The Volkswagen Beetle is a competent Supporter car that can provide significant ultimate charge to its teammates, while also offering interesting skills that allow it to stay ahead of the competition when used correctly. Specifically, its ultimate renders all teammates invisible for a duration, and makes it so that if the Beetle collides with a vehicle during this invisibility period, it’ll leap ahead and grant all teammates ultimate charge.

In addition to this helpful ultimate, the Beetle is great for maintaining its spot in the race as it gains automatic speed boosts whenever it overtakes an enemy, or when it is overtaken itself.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

As you’ll probably notice in this tier, the majority of our picks are Supporter vehicles, and the Camaro ZL1 is no exception. This is because these cars are generally very powerful when used correctly, and don’t rely on brute force as much as Interceptors or Speedsters. In other words, if the driver is good, then they can probably have lots of success when using any of these vehicles.

As for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, this car sacrifices its own speed with its ultimate, in order to provide powerful ultimate charge for his non-supporter teammates, while also increasing their flash distance bonus for a short duration. However, if you use this ult while you’re in 6th place, the deceleration effect is instead converted into a significant acceleration boost. This gimmick is the most powerful offering of the ZL1, though it’s understandably more of a recovery mechanic rather than a skill that can help press the advantage.

BMW M8 GTE

Remember when we said that the Rocketfox was a pretty basic Speedster? Well, the BMW M8 GTE is even more so, as its kit revolves around spending nitro to gain more speed than normal. Heck, even its ultimate is pretty simple, granting a massive speed boost for a short duration.

Granted, skill sets like this one are pretty underwhelming in terms of complexity, but then again, Speedsters aren’t supposed to be about any mechanical innovation; they’re just supposed to go really fast. And in this regard, the BMW M8 GTE delivers in droves.

Ford Focus RS

As far as this car goes, we’d dare to say it’s quite serviceable. It doesn’t have the best ultimate of all the Supporters we’ve mentioned here so far, but it’s easy to use and the ultimate charge it grants to its teammates makes it a welcome addition to any crew. In particular, the Ford Focus RS has a pretty cool attribute, which makes it generate a lot of nitro charge every 5 seconds, which means that this car essentially has easier access to its ultimate than other vehicles.

When it comes to its ultimate, the Ford Focus RS is able to fly at low altitudes with auto-pilot capabilities, while continuously granting its teammates ultimate charge. However, this ultimate automatically slows the car down when approaching tight curves. Luckily, you can activate the ultimate again at any moment to end the effect prematurely and return to regular driving controls.

If anything, considering that the Ford Focus RS is normal rarity, it’s a solid choice for when you don’t have anything else to replace it with.

C Tier Ace Racer Vehicles

If you’ve read any of our other tier lists in the past, you’ll know that the C Tier is reserved solely for the worst characters in their respective games, or in this case the worst vehicles. This tier is meant to help you identify which are the vehicles that you’ll want to avoid at all costs, either because their special skills are quite limited, or because their stats are just quite lackluster.

Lynk & Co O3

While the Lynk & Co O3 has a pretty good ultimate, which gives it a speed boost and generates a smoke screen around itself that disrupts other vehicles’ slipstream and ECU effects, this is pretty much everything it has going for it. 

This vehicle has a decent main attribute which helps it generate tons of nitro charge passively, but it only activates when the car is in 3rd place. As such, if you’re doing either good or bad, this attribute will do nothing to help you, which is a shame.

Aston Martin DB11

It’s just our luck that one of the cars that we get for free from the tutorial happens to be one of the worst in the game. This car is the definition of unremarkable, even by Speedster standards. Its ultimate simply gives you a slight speed boost while making you generate a large amount of nitro charge per second.

It doesn’t really get any more basic than that. However, in contrast with other basic Speedster cars, the DB11 doesn’t even have the speed to justify its lackluster kit. And the final nail on its coffin is its main attribute which, just like the Lynk & Co car mentioned above, only triggers when you’re in 3rd place, making it all but ineffective in most cases.

Of course, we’ve only mentioned a few of the vehicles that you’ll find during your time in Ace Racer. Nevertheless, with luck you’ll now be able to figure out which ones are worth keeping around, and which ones are better off avoided. And even if your opinions differ from ours, you should now be able to create your own Ace Racer tier lists as well, which we greatly encourage you to share in the comments below!
