    Earlier this week I wanted to know what the fastest car in Beam is. So I tested them all by picking the stock vehicle type that seemed the fastest, (ex: Bolide 390 GTR, Covet Race, etc.) flipping them over, and flooring it with a wheel speed speedometer. Here are the top speeds in fastest to slowest order:

    Bolide: 224 Mph
    Sunburst: 203 Mph
    Grand Marshal: 198 Mph
    D Series: 181 Mph
    Covet: 144 Mph
    H Series: 141 Mph
    Moonhawk: 135 Mph
    T Series: 120 Mph
    Pigeon: 76 Mph





    This will be updated every game update to check if the speeds have changed.

    These are the top speeds that the wheels can rotate unimpeded, not the top speed that the vehicle can travel. With the bolide for instance, youll struggle to get it past 205 miles per hour while driving it. Factors such as air resistance, rolling resistance, surface type, etc. have great effect on the vehicles speed

    Yes this test is for the maximum speed the wheels can turn at.

    So...what are the point of these tests then? Do you ever see manufacturers measuring the maximum speed that the wheels of their cars can turn at?

    It was more because I can than anything else honestly.

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

    You're missing a lot of information here, such as what kind of drivetrain used, Not to mention this thread makes zero sense anyways...

    Eh... This isn't really an accurate test tbh. Fun to do but not accurate. All you have to do is add another gear to any of these and get a much higher number.
