In order to beat the latest addition to the biggest racing franchise, Need For Speed: Unbound, here are the best and fastest cars in each tier of the game as of May 2023. The game still has a total of 143 vehicles that are available to purchase at its official launch ranging from Porches to even Bugattis. NFS Unbound houses a lot of supercars that players can obtain in game and take them out for a drive in Lakeshore City. Within these 143 vehicles, only 5 of them stand out from each of the tiers from B to S+ in NFS Unbound. We will update this from time to time if there are massive changes that will be done for each update.

 

Of course, during the NFS Unbound Story, you'd want to get the best possible car while progressing through to have the biggest edge you can possibly get to win more races and do more tasks perfectly. Here's a list of the five best cars in the five tiers that you can use to step up your game. Do take note that you can still further improve these cars to perfection with the use of performance parts or engine swaps, which means more firepower in the streets.

B Tier – The Porsche 911 Carrera S (1997)
The Porsche 911 Carrera S is the fastest B-tier vehicle you can get among all other vehicles in its tier. It has a neutral handling with mixed traction on it, a top speed of 168 miles per hour, an acceleration of 5.2 seconds and an overall a rating of 156. It can be purchased from the first week of the game’s campaign and the Porsche costs $94,000 to obtain.

A Tier – The BMW M3 Coupe (2010)

They may not be the best overall in each tier but they can become an alternative when you encounter a difficult quest.
