The Cobretti Centaur is a sports-styled muscle car that is featured in the Deadline Pack released on October 19th, 2010.

## Description

The Cobretti Centaur, combined with the power of muscle cars with the performance of sports cars alike, the entire body is based on the Zenvo ST1 and Lexus LFA while sharing various sections from the first-generation Audi R8.

The Centaur has a medium sized grill with several carbon fiber slats running across it. The same can be said for the side vents of the bumper. Inside all three is a black mesh grating cover. The front bumper is slanted forwards and at the bottom is an extended black splitter with the middle being sectioned off. Towards the left of the bumper is a tow hook and below it is a small section made of carbon fiber. Although exaggerated, the front fascia resembles more of the R8.

The taillights are a fusion between both cars as the LED strip that runs along the bottom is inspired by the R8 while the headlight cluster, consisting of only two bulbs, are taken from the ST1. In the middle of the Centaur's lengthy hood sits a hood scoop. Just before the doors is a side vent that is sectioned out as a result of the incaved design of the side profile, starting from the door seals. It also comes with carbon fiber skirts.

Reminiscent of the ST1, the body line starting from the front wheel well to the end of the rear fenders: It curves upwards, then takes a dive before inclining again, wrapping around towards the rear.

At the rear is where the Centaur is most known for. Similar to the front's appearance, the appearance of the rear take after both cars. For starters, the taillights' design draws inspiration from the entirety of the ST1's exhaust section, even the rear vents. However, the carbon fiber slats the run across them are derived from the R8. The rear fascia includes a license plate holder. Above it is a thin brake light and below it is a tow hook sitting offset to the left.

The Centaur features only one exhaust pipe. and surrounding it is a diffuser. On the roof, the car dawns a vortex generator with an antenna sitting on top of it. As the roof smooths out towards the rear, past the rear window is where the Centaur contains its retractive spoiler, only rising from low to medium/semi high speeds.

The Centaur comes with unique 6-spoke black rims and as per usual, sharing the "*Split/Second*" writing etched on the tire wall like majority of vehicles. The car's livery contains red and black accents placed below certain body lines of the car, such as the base of the bumpers, the lining of the car's side, below the side windows towards the rear, ridges between the rear fenders and rear window,

The roof and area shrouding the hood scoop is colored entirely black and a red outline wrapped around it. The rest of the car can be painted by the player's choosing.

The Centaur sports **5** colors:

* **Silver**
* **Grey**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Dark Blue**

## Performance

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

From a standstill, the Centaur provides little wheel spin as it has the better acceleration out of the other two. It doesn't have issues getting up to medium speeds. During cornering, the car excels just a tad more due to it being more planted to the ground while during heavy cornering, the Centaur can last a tad longer before being sent into a drift. Strength against powerplays is on average but it can be recovered fairly quickly. It may need counter-steering on some occasions.

The Centaur is one of a handful of cars that contain a powerful drift, With it being planted to the ground, drift entries and change of angle during cornering will help the car lightly extend the gap between it and other opponents. Similar to the Coyote, it maintains it's speed throughout the drift but the backend lags slightly before drift exits. It's close competitor, the Javelin, are almost neck-to-neck in performance but the Centaur gets the edge on drift edges, combining with it having slightly better speed. and grip.
