Another legendary car is the 1932 Ford Roadster which gets introduced in this latest update. In the 1930s especially in the US, the Hot Rod was popular and an iconic part of American culture. The Ford Model T and the later Model A and Model B were heavily modified by their owners. These got exterior modifications such as removing wheel arches, and over the years, powerful engines were then added.

The base version of this beautiful car uses the 1,340 cm3 (1,340 cc) Hayabusa engine linked to 3 high-power electric motors on an all-wheel drive powertrain. Gr.3 version has a different version: it changed to a simple front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout with a V8 twin-turbo powerplant comprised of 2 Hayabusa engine blocks for a total displacement of 2680 cm3 (2,680 cc). The engine becomes a monster that offers a maximum of 577 BHP at 10,000 rpm.
