#REDIRECT [[:Category:Cars]]
There is a total of 20 cars in LFS (Most require S1/S2). Most can be loosely divided into different classes to keep racing fair and fun.
 
 
 
For S3 users, there is a [[Vehicle Mods|vehicle mods]] system in place, where you can create your own cars in LFS.

*'''FXO Turbo''' (FXO) - Front-wheel drive, front-engined coupe, similar to the Vauxhall/Opel Astra G Coupe
 
*'''LX4''' - Rear-wheel drive, front engined, LFS gets it's very own Lotus Seven replica, not too dissimilar to the Caterhams and Westfields of this world
 
*'''LX6''' - Much like the LX4, this sports a more powerful engine, although this weighs it down more, you'd never realise given the way it accelerates
 
*'''MRT''' - Small open-wheel racecar somewhat larger than a kart, based on the real MRT5 built by the McGill Racing Team to compete in the Formula SAE championship
 
 
 
It is worth noting that in various leagues etc. the term "'''TBO'''" is used.  This is simply class of 3 cars and includes the RB4, FXO and XRT.

* 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.
