― Hanzo FX350 description.
The Hanzo FX350 is a vehicle that is featured in Split/Second.

## Design

### *Split/Second*

Designed in the appearance of a smooth and sleek racer, the FX350 appears to be loosely based off of a combination of the 2006 Koenigsegg CCX, 2010 Agera, and the 2004 SSC Ultimate Aero, evidenced by the general shape, the front fascia, the greenhouse cabin. The back fascia however is unique as most part of it is dark similar to the Renault Dezir. It combines curves and aggressive styling to show off it's great power and show dominance on the race track, curvaceous, the vehicle is built as a low ground, downforce type of supercar.

In the front of the FX350, there are two air vents that is built into the front bumper, with a red tow hook in the right air vent. Below is a split carbon fiber splitter. The headlights are angled and curved along the sides of the front bumper. There is a hood scoop built into the hood itself.

On all sides of the vehicle, the FX350 has large fender flares to accompany the large wheels that are fitted within the car. The wheels itself consists of thin five-spoke rims with red center locks in the middle, finished off with "Split/Second" written along the tire walls. Behind the wheels lies air vents that shoot from below the front fender flares and all the way back to the rear fenders, creating a one way air duct system. The driver and side door are also in the middle of this airway, making it's sleek design all the more prominent. Both driver and passenger windows are equipped with air vents that goes throughout the FX350's cockpit. It comes with a roll cage and racing window nets. The mirrors are attached to the door, just behind the "A" Pillar. The rest of both door windows are partially cut off, going into the "B" Pillar.

In the rear, behind the roll cage, houses the FX350's engine, that can be partially seen with the rear window. Just behind the engine, are dual air vents. Like most cars in Split/Second, the FX350 has a retractable spoiler that raises up around moderate to high speeds and will return to it's resting position once the car comes to a halt. Below the spoiler is a functional third brake light.

The taillights are with a large carbon fiber rear panel, making this car distinctive from the rest. The taillights are two angled cluster lights that gets more narrow as it reaches towards the other side of it's individual light cover. In the center, are what appears to me faux exhaust exits. The real exhaust, being split by the body work of the rear bumper, are twin exhaust pipes directly in the lower center of the car. A tow hook can be seen just to the left of the left taillight. The racing tank is just above the end of the side vent.

The FX350's livery consists of conjoining black circles in a linear pattern that gradually gets smaller as it further advances across the car. The livery starts where the rear fender is and ends just where the doors are. On top, the roof itself is black, with the circles coming out just around the hood area and gradually ends at the bottom of the hood. The rest of the body color can be changed by the Player's own choosing.

The Hanzo FX350 has **7** color schemes:

* **Orange** (stock)
* **Blue**
* **White**
* **Grey**
* **Black**
* **Dark Red**
* **Red**

## Performance

### *Split/Second*

Being the third to last car in Class A that the Player can be rewarded with, the FX350 does not fall short with it's performance. It is one of a handful of cars in Class A that be really competitive with other vehicles. Matching in Drifting in terms of statistical number, the car's speed is good among the rest of the cars in Class A but will fall short in straightaways where few cars will have the edge on.

As the vehicle's description says, the FX350's main strength is not just it's speed, but with it's drifting. Regularly turning with the car can result in heavy understeer, even in bends and long corners. It's drift is very tight, making it easy to get through hard turns and winds and still maintaining it's speed throughout, making it a force to be reckoned with. Corner heavy courses like Downtown Central and Power Plant are where the FX350 shines the best.

Acceleration is great off the line, able to keep up with the pack of cars in the beginning and slowly creep it's way through positions. However with having weak strength, this makes driving the FX350 all the more difficult, due to the fact that if it gets hit by a shockwave from a powerplay, the car will always be sent into an uncontrollable drift, and sometimes hard to recover from due it being a traction and drift type vehicle, and may result in a crash, either slowing the car down or wrecking it.  Braking takes the longest as it takes seconds to stop the vehicle.
