RB4 GT is an all-wheel drive, front engined road car.
The only road car to sport an AWD drivetrain, this makes it the ideal car for all the rallycross courses. The RB4 GT is also fun to drive on the road tracks, but is slightly slower than the GT Turbo and FXO due to the mechanical loss inherited from the AWD layout. It is the easiest to drive out of the trio, however.
Introduction
The RB4 GT was first teased on May 10, 2023, in a news piece about the S1 release plan (a screenshot of the RB4 in South City). The community first got their hands on the car in test patch 0.2E1, on June 1, 2003. It was released on July 17, 2003 as a part of the initial S1 release (0.3A).
Revamp
A revamped version of the RB4 GT was released in the 0.7A patch on Dec 16, 2021, along with vehicle mods[1], featuring more detailed exterior, interior and 10mm shorter wheelbase. The new 3D model consists of ~43,000 triangles, which makes it the most detailed car in LFS to date.
The car has undergone several modifications, including more indented side skirts and more detailed, smaller side mirrors. An LFS style chrome barge has been added to the front of the bonnet and the steering wheel. The headlights now feature 3D-style reflectors, and the side indicators have been relocated from the front bumper to the front fenders. Additionally, a fuel cap has been added to the right rear fender, and the door handles have been painted to match the main body color. Windshield washer nozzles have also been installed, and the "RB4" text has been removed from the default skin on the side of the car.
Setup tip
Understeer is your enemy here. Only add as much as you feel you need into the suspension and push the torque split back until you can push the rear out slightly with the throttle. This will also help even out tyre heating & wear.
