Overview[]
Bill's old favourite is one of the fastest rides on this side of the planet!
The Sports Car is a car that is great for races with flat ground or lots of dips due to its good aerodynamics. It is also the third fastest of all vehicles in the game, topping out at 27.8 m/s (100 km/h), which is ironically faster than Formula and Supercar, being slower than Racing Truck and Hoverbike in speed, but it has worse acceleration characteristics. Surprisingly, its aerodynamics also allow it to climb steep hills and glide a few meters forward, avoiding high jumps that might not let the car land on flat ground and end up going backwards. Upgrading the downforce increases its acceleration, and preserves speed in mid-air due to the gliding feature. Contrary to this, its acceleration is below average, making it not very good for sport events. This also means that this car struggles in Adventure maps like City and Mines, due to the giant pits you have to jump over, which require speed. Upgrading the gearbox is probably one of the first things you should do, because the Sports Car comes with a fixed boost. Using the Start Boost Tuning Part in Cups will solve the acceleration issue. In Adventure, it needs to already have speed in order to jump over big pits. The Sports Car is a racing car, so it doesn't have the Air Control Tuning Part.
This car is one of the oldest vehicles in Hill Climb Racing 2, as it was in the game in the last update before the full launch of the game - 0.99.0. Sports Car and Monster Truck were the best vehicles in the game, until the Formula got released.
The only issues are that it's quite slow acceleration-wise, compared to cars like the Rally Car and the Supercar. Its fuel tank is also small compared to vehicles like the Super Diesel or the Tank. Speed-related Tuning Parts help the Sports Car for races, such as Jump Shocks and Landing Boost, Fuel Boost, and Start Boost. Moreover, it is very prone to suspension bugs, especially at high speeds.
Masteries[]
In the 1.61.0 Update, with the introduction of Vehicle Mastery, Fingersoft added some buffs for Sports Car. These buffs can be unlocked after maxing out the vehicle's tunes. Said buffs make the vehicle better in various ways.

| Mega Tank | 
|
Increased fuel tank size | Fuel Tank: 190 -> 210 (38 sec -> 42 sec) |

Sports Car's masteries don't bring anything new to the table, but rather improve on the vehicle's weaknesses. Rev Surge tackles its first weakness which is its weak acceleration, whereas Mega Tank improves its second being its low fuel tank capacity. Additionally, it is also given a boost to its top speed through Overdrive, and the 4th tuning part slot for its last mastery buff which is standard for every vehicle. Overall, Sports Car's masteries are well-balanced and buff its weaknesses to become more of a jack-of-all-trades vehicle.
Customization[]
See Vehicle Paints List for pictures and more information.
The Sports Car comes with 16 different paints and 18 different wheels that can be obtained (Excluding the VIP paint and wheel, which come with the VIP subscription). After purchasing, it has 3 free paints (red, magenta, and yellow) and two variations of wheels to start with.
Trivia[]
- The car is based on the '67 Ford Mustang Convertible, 1970 Ford GT or Mercedes Benz 280SL 1970.
- Unlike Muscle Car, the car is less powerful in the Acceleration and Fuel aspects, though it sounds like the true american V8-powered rat rod.
- Its windshield can be broken off if the car is head-on damaged or neck-flipped. Another way to break it is by jumping up towards a sharp edge, like a container or an bubble tube, with only the front of the vehicle, and not where the driver's neck can be snapped.
- Sports Car is the very first vehicle to have received the Vehicle Mastery's advantages, including the 4th tuning part slot, in May of 2024.
- Sports Car was bigger, faster and had a detachable hood in early versions of the game.
