The Elite S510 is a sports car that is featured in Split/Second. It is the first Elite vehicle that the player is gifted.

## Description

Dawning a road-going appearance, the S510 is based on a McLaren MP4 - 12C, based on the overall shape. However changes were slightly made. The grille is low down onto the bumper, with carbon fiber vents on both sides. A ridge starts at the front of the front wheel, angles down and wraps around the front bumper. Below the ridge before the front wheel well is a smaller vent with carbon fiber vents.

The headlights are curved and angled towards the ridges of the trunk, There are three lights in the cluster, with one of them being the turning signal lights. The front-end curves all the way up towards the windshield, giving the S510 it's distinctive shape. Although it isn't shown in the Vehicle Selection menu, the S510 has carbon fiber mirrors similar to the Vortex.

A good look at the side profile and one will notice carbon fiber slats on the lower section of the doors before the black skirts. The windows are slightly smaller and the A-Pillar is angled away towards the side louvers. Just behind the doors, there is a vent that widens the rear fenders as a result of the engine being situated between the middle and rear. The design of the rear fender is a trait that the Elite fleet has: Instead of being rounded, it is cut off halfway and angles at a 45-degree angle or curves much more down until it takes shape again at the base of the side skirt.

On the roof includes a lone antenna. Behind the antenna is ais where the engine is displayed behind glass louvers, places semi-deep near the rear, as the ridges start to form on both sides from the end of the roof and continues down to the rear bumper. A common theme of the S510 is the amount of horizontal slats it includes, especially in the rear, because the taillights consists of three light clusters with red LED lights inside them,

Spanning across the rear is an integrated spoiler that when travelling at moderate speeds, it will rise into the air. It will set itself in place when slowing down or coming to a full stop. The S510 comes with a pair of dual exhaust pipes and surrounding it is a medium sized diffuser.

All but the Goliath comes equipped with black 15-spoke rimes with red centerlocks and *Split/Second* written along the tire wall.

Like all Elite vehicles, the S510 comes in one color, a grey and faded baby blue color with a red pin stripe and a permanent black color for the rest of the body.

## Performance

#### *Split/Second*

Being In the only Elite vehicle in Class B, it is certainly the weakest of the original four. Off the line it has the second best acceleration out of the group (behind the GT12) and can rival most of the cars in Class B, but it's main weakness lies in it's speed. Although it has great acceleration, it reaches top speed quick fast, meaning other cars will slowly creep up and overtake it

This is further amplified when using it in Elite Races since the Elite Drivers are much faster than the S510 (even though Raptor and Vixen uses the same vehicle, they are coded to be much faster than the player).

The S510 has nice drifting capabilities. It can initiate a drift with relative ease and can continue drifting until the player corrects the position of the car. After every drift, whether small or large, the car will always accelerate depending on the current speed during the drift angle. It is one of the better accelerating cars in Class B, but falls a bit short in favor of other cars.

Against powerplays, the S510 is able to withstand most, with the cost of the car going into an immediate slide, but it can always be corrected if the player reacts quickly.
