The Cobretti Slipstream is a supercar featured in Split/Second. It is the first car to start Class A and the first Cobretti vehicle given to the player in Class A.

## Description

Curvaceous, low down and wide, the Cobretti Slipstream is loosely based on the 2003 Porsche Carrera GT and the 2010 Koenigsegg Agera, based on the body design, however changes were made.

For starters, there are two angled bumper vents in the front with a small groove in the lower section in place of the tow hook. The front bumper itself is large as it's starting point is from the middle of the headlights. Between the bumper and the trunk is a groove right in the middle. The trunk itself has two individual vents angled downwards into the car. On the upper vent, the player's racing number is situated there.

The headlights themselves have three smaller bulb housings slanted downwards like the ridge of the front bumper does. On top of the front fender are four fender scoops. The side profile of the Slipstream is interesting because of how the body lines intersect with each other at the door. Starting from the rear of the front fender, it spans across the side until reaching the beginning of the rear fender. the doors' lines then intersect through the line until it reaches the base of the side skirt, leaving the side vent separated.

Another interesting part of the slipstream's design is how most of the middle section slopes down, to then slowly make its way up, giving shape to the rear. Thus, this design makes the cockpit and roofline appear smaller. The mirrors are covered in carbon fiber. Behind the windows are four thin vents that decrease in length the further back they go.

The rear fenders include five fender scoops on top of the wheel wells. Just next to the engine vent is a racing gas cap. The engine vent itself sits behind the rear window and is covered by carbon fiber louvers angled forward. Behind the engine bay is an indent within the body work that houses the brake light. It is a thin strip with red LED bulbs inside of it. The taillights themselves include eleven small red bulbs that are placed in the light housing.

Between the taillights is a long piece of body work that is cut out specifically for the rear spoiler that raises in the air when reaching moderate speeds. The bumper is essentially rounded off from the base of the rear bumper to the middle, where it leaves space for the large rear diffuser. It holds a singular exhaust pipe just the Vortex.

The Slipstream comes with black five-spoke rims with the design of three thin lines running against each other to the middle. It is one of a few vehicles that has blue center lock caps . It also has "Split/Second" written in it's tire walls.

The livery for the Slipstream consists of white stripes and contour lines that increase in width the further it reaches towards the rear. The rest of the car can be colored by the player's choosing.

The Slipstream has **8** colors:

* **Red**
* **Dark Red**
* **White**
* **Grey**
* **Black**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**
* **Orange**

## Performance

#### ***Split/Second***

From a standstill, the Slipstream demonstrates great acceleration, enough to make a few positions from the starting grid. With this, it can reach moderate speeds fairly quickly, but does fall short in the top speed category.

In terms of speed, it will gradually lose it's pace with other vehicles that are speed orientated. In the corners, it proves to be nimble, but the slightest bit of oversteer will send the car into a slide. When it comes to slides or drifting, it is one of the more firm cars when planted to the ground.

During a drift, the back end will stay until the player wishes to gain control of the car again. The Slipstream can be entered into a series of chain drifts, making it a good choice for Air Revenge as it can easily increase the power meter to full capacity within seconds. In a deep drift during curves, the car will gradually decrease in speed but only a tad to ensure a corner is cleared before leaving it.

Against powerplays is below average as it can force the car into an automatic slide but can be easily recovered, granted the player does not over correct, or else they will start another slide.
