10 Best Cars In Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty made Night City all the more fun to explore with a fresh selection of new vehicles and updates to old models. The question is: which cars are the best? What makes the best car, anyway? Its ability to soak up a barrage of gunfire? That it can shoot back with state-of-the-art weaponry? Or just how cool it looks?

Gotta cruise Night City in style!

Ranking the best vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty boils down to personal taste. Maybe you’re looking to make mincemeat out of your enemies with machine guns. Or maybe you just want to fit in with the NPCs by driving something, shall we say, ordinary. Either way, Phantom Liberty has you covered.

10 Herrera Outlaw Weiler

Weiler ticks off all the boxes you can think of: speed, responsiveness, and lethality. It shares similarities with the Herrera Outlaw GTS, but it outshines it in practically every aspect. But what sets it apart, though?

The Weiler is equipped with bulletproof tires and CrystalDome technology, making you, the driver, nearly invulnerable to damage. Despite its elongated design, the Weiler feels incredibly agile and responsive, which is a huge plus.

You can acquire this sleek, weaponized vehicle at no cost by completing the Baby Let Me Take You quest.

9 Militech Hellhound

If you’ve ever faced the fury of Hellhound’s wrath with a four-star wanted level, now you have the chance to command it yourself. But it doesn’t come cheap. This neo-militarian juggernaut comes with a hefty price tag of €$160,000. That being said, it’s the closest you’ll get to driving a tank in Night City, plowing through vehicles, and leaving a trail of destruction in your wake. With unpoppable tires and a full-blown Militech arsenal at its disposal, boasting front-mounted machine guns and rockets, the Hellhound makes short work of anyone – or anything – in its path.

Although similar to the Trailbruiser, the Hellhound feels more state-of-the-art. Its standout feature? Unmatched durability. It makes you feel untouchable in the driver’s seat. Yet, there are drawbacks to consider. Despite its robust design, the Hellhound’s suspension system can be a recipe for disaster and you’ll see it clumsily bouncing over even the smallest of cars.

8 Quadra Sport R-7 Chiaroscuro

If you’re an artist, you’re likely familiar with the term ‘chiaroscuro’, an artistic technique that, when translated literally, means “light-dark.” The Chiaroscuro’s backstory sets it apart. It’s the final creation – the culmination of artistic creativity – of Georgia Barberis, a Quadra designer.

Cyberpunk 2077 has seen many changes since its initial launch, and here we look at all the best updates CD Projekt Red has made to the game.

Yes, it’s a speed demon, but what truly defines the Chiaroscuro is its aesthetic and in Night City, everything is about aesthetics. From the exposed engine to the crimson-red leather seats, every detail ties nicely into the backstory, breathing life into this work of art. The Chiaroscuro is a darker, more grim interpretation of the Vigilante, making it a great choice if you’re looking for immersive transportation.

7 Makigai Tanishi Kuma

Going off-road? The Kuma is your go-to choice. Once you’re behind the wheel of this rugged, jeep-like vehicle, nothing is off-limits. A steep hill to climb? A river to cross? In the eyes of the Kuma, everything is an open road. Sure, it’s always a bit of a rough ride, but in Cyberpunk, there’s no better option for navigating uneven terrain.

The Kuma is on the slower side of the spectrum so if you’re not a patient gamer looking for immersion, you might want to skip this one.

Yet, driving the Kuma feels different and unique. Maybe it’s the open-top design, making it easy to actually see where you’re going. Just don’t drive straight into a fight unless you want to catch a bullet or two.

6 Quadra Type-66 Wingate

If you’re looking to get from point A to point B as fast as possible, the Wingate is one of the best choices. It ranks as one of the fastest cars in the game. Plus, it handles off-road terrain like it’s nothing. Although armed with machine guns, their placement is far from ideal. So, the barrels end up collecting dust.

Like all supercars in Cyberpunk, the Wingate’s speed can be a double-edged sword. One mistake and you’re airborne. What sets the Wingate apart, though, is its ease of steering and handling, even at breakneck speeds. If you’re driving in first-person, you’ll love the Wingate’s interior design and, more importantly, the visibility it offers.

5 Archer Quartz Sidewinder

Surprisingly, if you’re looking to drift, the Sidewinder might just be your best bet. Whether this feature was intentional or not is up for debate. But Cyberpunk has received countless changes since launch, including to cars. The Sidewinder handles like a bar of soap, but mastering it feels rewarding. It falls into the category of a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Sure, it ticks off all the boxes, but it won’t make you feel like you’re driving a high-performance sports car.

Equipped with front-mounted machine guns and rockets, the Sidewinder is reliable and versatile in any terrain. This makes it an ideal option for those looking for a well-rounded nomadic vehicle.

4 Thorton Colby Vulture

Now, the Vulture is an incredibly satisfying vehicle to drive. Fast, durable, and armed to the teeth – it’s the complete package. The icing on the cake? It’s easy to handle. Just spend five minutes behind the wheel of the Vulture, and you’ll struggle to switch to other cars just because it’s so responsive.

If there’s one thing questionable about it – it’s definitely the interior. The details are there, but if you’re driving in first-person, visibility is severely limited.

3 Mizutani Shion Samum

The Samum shares similarities with the Mizutani Shion, except it’s a bit slower and more forgiving to drive. Plus, it comes equipped with rocket launchers, making it an obvious choice for anyone looking to sport a dependable, robust, weaponized vehicle that can expertly tackle off-road terrain.

Its slower acceleration and top speed actually make it a more practical option and the Samum always guarantees a smooth ride.

2 Herrera Riptide Terrier

The Terrier is a real eye-catcher. Hard to resist. Its sleek white design is pristine to the point you might even hesitate to drive it. Not only is the Terrier one of the fastest cars in the game, but its cool factor is off the charts. When jumping inside, the entire front of the car opens up and invites you to slide into the driver’s seat. Even riding shotgun in this marvel of technology feels trancelike. With a beautifully designed interior, it’s no wonder the Terrier is a top choice for those who prefer a first-person driving experience.

What’s its handling like? Is it armed? Sturdy? The Terrier isn’t the vehicle you select for combat missions; it’s a racing car. But, beyond that, it’s a statement of style. And aesthetic. The Terrier isn’t just a mode of transportation. It’s a means to further immerse yourself in the futuristic world of Night City.

1 Thorton Merrimac Warlock

The Warlock isn’t just another armored vehicle. It’s not built for speed, it looks bulky, and the durability leaves much to be desired. So, what sets the Warlock apart?

The answer is simple: its exceptional handling. In that regard, it stands out as possibly the best vehicle in the game. The Warlock turns corners effortlessly, allowing you to navigate the twists and turns of Night City without worrying over missed turns or ramming unsuspecting pedestrians. It makes driving easy. And when it’s easy – it’s fun.
