Cars are selected in the car selection screen after going to Garage from the game lobby screen. Cars can be controlled by real players or by the AI drivers.
There is a total of 20 cars in LFS (most require an S1/S2 license). Most can be loosely divided into different classes to keep racing fair and fun. There are 4 real licensed cars, the rest are fictional.
For S3 users, there is a vehicle mods system in place, where you can create your own cars in LFS.
Cars in LFS are often referred by their 3-character short names. For example, the XF GTI is abbreviated as XFG. These short names are used in car skin and setup filenames, reported via the InSim protocol. They can also be seen in the session results table in game, on the setups page or league listings.

- STD class - A lightweight old-schoold FWD, a FWD hot hatch and a RWD sportcoupe with approximately 125 bhp/ton. The XF GTI and XR GT match each other well in terms of racing pace, and are heavily used in Fragmaster's GTi Thursday races. Sometimes those two cars are reffered to as GTI cars.
- 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.
Car steering wheel lock angles
900°
All of these cars use the full 900 degrees of rotation:
XFG, XRG, XRT, RB4, FXO, LX4, LX6, RAC, UF1, FZ5
540°
These cars use a reduced lock of just 1.5 turns lock to lock:
XRR, FXR, FZR, UFR, XFR
450°
These cars use 1.25 turns lock to lock:
FBM, FOX, FO8
400°
270°
The only car to use less than one full turn, requiring a flick of 0.75 turns lock to lock:
