All default cars available in Live for Speed

There is a total of 20 cars in LFS (most require S1/S2 license). Most can be loosely divided into different classes to keep racing fair and fun.

For S3 users, there is a vehicle mods system in place, where you can create your own cars in LFS.

  • FR class - A FWD hot hatch and a RWD sportcoupe with approximately 125 bhp/ton. They match each other well in terms of racing pace, and are heavily used in Fragmaster's GTi Thursday races.
  • TBO class - Turbo-aspirated sportcoupés with approximately 205 bhp/ton. One FWD, one RWD, and one AWD. As a class, used for example in league TBO Challenge.
  • LRF class - Much like the TBO-class, but a bit faster. All cars are rear-wheel-driven. The featured cars are very different in terms of horsepower and weight. All are in the range of 250-310 bhp/ton. Some favour acceleration and handling while others top speed.
  • FWD GTR class - They have approximately 300 bhp/ton, and due to their high power-to-weight ratio and front-wheel-drive, temperature of the front tyres are usually harder to keep under control.
  • GTR class - These racecars are similar to the Japanese Super GT (formerly JGTC) GT500 class. They have approximately 453 bhp/ton.
  • Single-seaters - Single seaters: four formula cars of different power, and the lightweight kart-like MRT.
  • Unclassified cars - These cars are mainly for racing against each other with the same car, as they don't fit in any of the other classes available in LFS.
