The Hanzo Indus V8R is a supercar that is featured in Split/Second.

## Design

Appearing as a sporty type coupe, the Indus V8R is loosely based off of a 2003 SEAT Cupra GT, judging by the overall profile of the body, especially the large grille at the front. The Indus V8R appears curvy and wide as a result of the widebody kit it sports.

The front fascia includes a large semi-circle styled grille with it's slats being covered in carbon fiber. Hanzo's manufacture logo is situated just at the top center of the grille. Both headlight housings are angled downwards towards the grille and below are extra air ducts. Both air ducts are covered in mesh grating with having a piece of thin body work separate the top portion of the air ducts. A red tow hook sits just between the grille and the air duct. The hood starts off smooth, then slopes down to fit the styling of the front and grille. The player's racing number is stickered just at the top.

Seeming as the Indus V8R having a body kit, there are yellow body kit bolts on the front and rear quarters of it's large fender flares. Lines groove along the side profile of the car and meets at the end of the passenger and driver side doors. The car has an integrated side air vent that curves from the top of the driver door, to the near edge of it's side skirts. It includes small window mirrors, a racing net for both doors and a roll cage on the interior.

The roof of the Indus V8R has a large rear window, showcasing parts of the interior's roll cage. Dual gas caps are places on the left side of the car just behind the driver side door. The body line that starts from the lower portion of the grille also makes it's way acorss the middle of the side profile and wraps around the rear, giving the Indus V8R a low-profile, sleek body style.

The Indus V8R also comes with a large carbon fiber wing that sides at the rear of the trunk. The styling of the car's rear end angles slightly upwards, boxing in the taillights. The taillights are angular and starts thing, but suddenly expands onto the outer edges of the rear-quarter sides of the car. It comes with smaller red lights outlining the entire shape of the taillights with regular lights throughout the middle section. Separating the taillights and the rear bumper comes with a long and narrow panel covered with carbon fiber.

The Indus V8R comes kitted with 6-spoke black rimes with a unique design, red centerlock caps and *Split/Second* racing tires to accommodate the widebody kit. The car's livery design starts off at the base of the hood and fades to black, before fading back to the color red, then orange, the yellow and white.. From the A-pillars and end of the front fender flares are blotches that angle upwards and fades at the middle of the door.

From there, the white color starts to fade from yellow, to orange, to red, to dark red and them fades to black, shrouding the entire rear of the car. The same can be said with the roof as the livery merges with the top-quarter portions of the doors and rear quarters. Within the car's livery includes small stars with smaller dots scattered within the surface area of the stars themselves. Outside of the livery, the Indus V8R can be changed to the player's choosing.

The Indus V8R has **5** color schemes:

* **Black**
* **Gray**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Orange**

## Performance

### *Split/Second*

Situated deep within Class C, The Indus V8R has average performance on the track. From a stand still, the car accelerates really well, getting up to speed fairly quickly. Unfortunately the car suffers from a low top speed but with it being more agile and light, it can take corners with ease, although turning will slow the vehicle down a little bit due to body roll.

Due to how light and stable the Indus V8R is, it can hold a drift relatively well as it is far more easy to initiate a drift. It can stay sideways at moderate speeds but increasing the angle of a drift will slow it down. After a hevay drift, it doesn't necessarily give off acceleration unlike most cars (unless the player prolongs the drift via slowly shifting the car straight after a few seconds). It is important to keep the car sideways between a light and heavy drift angle to keep momentum.

The car can withstand some powerplays and does not get shoved around by nearby shockwaves due to it being firmly planted to the ground takes to it's widebody kit and stability opposed to heavy shockwaves, it will get sent slightly side ways but it can easy be recovered.
