Silhouettes

"*If a ghost designed a high horsepower fire breathing race car, they'd get a Silhouette. They aren't meant for any vehicular combat. Instead, they're meant for running away from the opposition. Their acceleration sucks eggs, because of excessive turbo lag. Buuuuuuut, once those turbos spool up and allow them to get up to speed, it's hard for even the fastest of 'Stormers to catch up to them.*"

**Silhouettes** are a fanonical vehicle class created by The Cherrybomber that appears in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*. This class is known for the sheer amount of aerodynamic drag they produce, but are also known for having the greatest general handling out of all of the medium sized vehicles. In this class, most vehicles are Group 5 race cars.

Because of the sheer power that these machines offer, they are locked until reaching the civilized side of Pandrosia, which would be when the player reaches 60% completion of The Festival.

## Trivia

* Silhouettes are among the most hated new class in *Return to the Wild*, due to how overpowered they are. This is mainly because that it is nearly impossible to PIT maneuver them, even with a Big Rig. Surprisingly, certain Supercars are actually able to perform a PIT maneuver against them, most likely because of how low to the ground that Supercars generally are, almost being as low as the Silhouettes themselves.
* Amongst all of the Silhouettes, the Falfer Road Eagle would be the most popular model out of all of them, mainly due to because it is the most maneuverable in its class.
* Most of the older models of the Silhouettes can have period correct liveries fitted on them, referencing their real-life counterparts. This is most evident on the Wulff Silhouaero, seeing that a livery resembling the MOMO liveries seen on the real life Porsche 935s can be applied.
* Despite the Wulff DT566M not technically being a Silhouette, it is mistakenly referred to as a Silhouette race car.
