Summary

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 system in place, where you can create your own cars in LFS.

Demo Cars

XFG and XRG
Demo cars
Model Abbrev Layout Drive Engine Output Weight
XF GTI XFG FF hatchback FWD 1.3 L inline-4 86 kW (115 hp) 942 kg (2076 lb)
XR GT XRG FR coupe RWD 1.8 L inline-4 104 kW (140 hp) 1150 kg (2536 lb)

  • XF GTi (XFG) - Front-wheel drive hatchback, similar to sporty hatchbacks such as the Peugeot 106 Rallye/Citroen AX GTi
  • XR GT (XRG) - Rear-wheel drive, front engined coupe, similar to a Mitsubishi Starion
  • Formula BMW (FBM) - Formula BMW FB02

S1 Cars

XR GT Turbo XRT FR coupe RWD 2.0 L turbo inline-4 184 kW (247 hp) 1223 kg (2696 lb)
RB4 GT RB4 4WD coupe AWD 2.0 L turbo inline-4 181 kW (243 hp) 1210 kg (2667 lb)
FXO Turbo FXO FF coupe FWD 1.9 L turbo flat-4 175 kW (234 hp) 1136 kg (2504 lb)

LX6 LX6 FR roadster RWD 1.8 L inline-6 142 kW (190 hp) 539 kg (1188 lb)
MRT5 MRT MR single seater RWD 600 cc turbo inline-4 48 kW (64 hp) 221 kg (486 lb)
  • XR GT Turbo (XRT) - XR GT with a larger engine and turbocharger
  • RB4 GT (RB4) - Four-wheel drive, front-engined coupe, similar to a Toyota Celica GT4
  • 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.
