🎉 Celebrating 5,000 Cars in Top Drives! 🚗✨

A major milestone deserves a major celebration - and we’re marking hitting the historic 5,000 car milestone with a month-long series of content, rewards, and special variants!

Starting December 2nd, a collection of limited-time modes and objectives will roll out across December and early January, all tied together under our 5000 Cars celebration!

🔧 Earn 5000 Cars Variant Tokens

Throughout the celebration, various pieces of content will reward a new universal currency: 5000 Cars Variant Tokens.


These tokens can be used in special exchanges to unlock five exclusive variants:

  • Porsche 935 “Moby Dick”

  • Mazda Furai

  • Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

  • Aston Martin Bulldog

  • Subaru BRZ tS

Collecting all five requires 250,000 Tokens, and you’ll earn them steadily across the entire festive period.

🚗 23 Special Variants to Collect

In total, 23 unique 5000 Cars variants will be available during the celebration. With the choice of cars bestowed with the honour of a 5000 variant being based around how the community voted in a past survey held at the start of September, which asked them to name their most memorable/iconic cars in the game.

Here's a link to the full list of 5000 Cars variants

5000 Cars Variants List

  • 17 variants will be awarded through seven different limited-time modes released across December and early January.

  • 1 variant (the Mighty Boy) will be available in the Free Advent Calendar.

    • Lotus Elise Sport 135

    • Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (2015)

  • Logging in

  • Winning events

  • Spending Cash

  • Fusing

  • Collecting cars

  • And, uniquely, collecting the 5000 Cars variants themselves

Upcoming Prize Cars

This festive season we have many prize cars up for grabs including the Koenigsegg One:1 and the coveted McMurtry Spéirling Prototype - Goodwood Edition 22, our highest RQ prize car ever!



2014 Koenigsegg One:1

The Koenigsegg One:1 is all about numbers and records, something reflected by the car’s name. It refers to the car’s power-to-weight ratio (one to one), which is 1,360hp to 1,360kg as well as the conversion of that power figure to watts: one megawatt. It generates that power with a 5.0-litre V8 and delivers it with rear-wheel drive only.

Koenigsegg claims that the One:1 can go from 0 to 400km/h and back to 0 again in 30 seconds. That’s 248mph and let’s not forget that evening being able to reach that figure puts the car among the very fastest production cars ever made. It’ll go down in history forever as one of the fastest internal combustion-powered cars, too, since modern efforts to breach the production car speed record are centred around electric power.

Slippery bodywork and a completely flat underside, unique Michelin tyres capable of handling sustained high speeds, carbon-fibre chassis tech and cutting-edge suspension meant the One:1 was a revelation when launched - and more than a decade later it still deserves its place on the list of the fastest road cars of all time.


2022 McMurtry Spéirling Prototype - Goodwood Edition 22

The McMurtry Spéirling is one of the oddest cars to appear on any list of the fastest cars in the world. It’s so tiny that it looks like it could be an overgrown go-kart rather than a car, but it’s actually a blisteringly-fast track special that set a record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb course in 2022.

It uses electric motors to deliver huge power - around 1,000bhp - and despite the featherweight construction (under a tonne) the use of aerodynamics and fan tech means it has ultra-strong downforce. The fan effectively sucks the car down onto the tarmac to allow record-breaking cornering speeds, and it’s so powerful that a McMurtry Spéirling has been driven on the roof of a tunnel, completely upside down. 

The fan is reportedly able to create up to two tonnes of downforce. The tiny Spéirling even managed to set a record on a famous TV show circuit, beating a Renault Formula 1 car’s long-standing time. It’s more of a show piece than a real race car, though, as it would run out of charge in about 25 minutes in a real race.
