- Cobretti 455 GT description

The Cobretti 455 GT is a coupe styled supercar that is the first car that the player drives if they play the Tutorial Stage, and automatically given to the player when starting the game fresh, alongside two other vehicles.

## Design

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

Sporty, simple and curvy, the 455 GT looks to be your average modern supercar. The car takes majority of its body shape and design cues from the Saleen S5 Raptor and elements from the Ferrari 360 Modena and F430 models, however the rear section resembles the Volkswagen Nardo W12.

The 455 GT sports two bumper intakes at the front of the car, surrounded by pieces of carbon fiber that takes up most of the lower front bumper. on the outer edges of the front bumper are two side ducts, and just before the ducts, are individual stickers showcasing the player's achievements. The hood only sports one air intake and the player's decal number is placed just below. The hood's shape is perfectly fit as it groves into the windshield creating a more profound shape. The headlights only come with a pair of the main light and turning indicators, one for each housing.

The roof is designed in a low-profile shape. On the roof itself, it includes dual air intakes that directs air into the engine bay, right behind the driver's cab, and the design grooves in nicely into the glass window in the rear where it showcases the engine, protected by a roll cage. The section of the rear hatch is cut off to make space for the spoiler that hides within the body lines of the window. At a certain speed, the spoiler will rise up fully for stability.

On the sides of the car are massive air intakes that takes up half of the doors in which are designed to have air channel through it's sides and into the back. Carbon fiber accents are complimented past the doors itself. The mirrors are permanently painted in a solid black color.

At the rear, the taillights feature dual brake lights housed into one single light cover. A third thin brake light can be seen just behind where the spoiler hides. The Cobretti logo is placed onto a large black plastic mesh with slates that goes vertically and horizontally across the plastic piece of body work. The rear bumper is split in two, and on the lower section houses the dual exhaust pipes, surrounded by only a black piece of body work and sports a small but noticeable diffuser. On the outer edges of the rear, there are singular stripes of intakes grooved into the body work. On the left side of the car, it features a racing fuel cap.

The 455 GT is equipped with black 15-spoke rims with red center lock caps on all four wheels, and the tires have *Split/Second* printed on them. The car's decals include three black stripes that extend from the front of the car and all the way to the end of the rear were the spoiler rests. It dawns yellow and black accents that intertwines with the stripes and placed within a pattern on the side profiling of the car and partial areas on the roof, the top of the doors and the rear outer sides. The rest of the car's paint can be colored in this selection by the player's choosing.

The 455 GT includes **5** colors the player can choose from:

* **Black**
* **Grey**
* **White**
* **Blue**
* **Red**

## Performance

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

The 455 GT has strong qualities of a beginner's car, such as a moderate top speed that perfectly fits within it's spot at Class C. It competes nicely along its other contenders within Class C like the Brawler or the Bandit. The speed is able to propel the car into podium spots in a racing scenario, but will sometimes be outmatched by vehicles that are tiered higher in Class C. It is a very stable car and combined with this, it makes it a slick drifting car.

However, with its drifting capabilities is what one would expect from a car of this caliber. It is mediocre at best and slows down greatly when entering a large drift but can gain the player a full power bar if they were to extend the drift behind exiting a corner, and with doing that, it will retain it's current speed. The backend comes out really wide while drifting at around tight curves. Upon exiting a drift, the car will shoot itself forward to gain speed but it's only slight. Acceleration is on par with certain cars in it's class but sub-average against every vehicle in the game.

Against powerplays and shockwaves is sub-average. Any powerplay will send the car into a slide but thanks to its stability and strength, the player can easily gain control of the car and straighten it out with relative ease. It can take wall hits nicely if said powerplay were situated in close quarters.
