Top 15 Most Futuristic Cars From Video Games

At the end of November 2023, sales of the Cybertruck, a new Tesla car that looks like a vehicle from the distant future, began. At first glance, associations arise with iconic cyberpunk works – from Blade Runner to Deus Ex. We decided to recall other futuristic machines from the world of video games.

The rise of Cybertruck is directly related to Elon Musk. It was he who once popularized electric cars all over the world. However, the production models of the Tesla brand, which were released from 2012 to 2022, resembled standard cars. The idea of ​​Cybertruck arose from the desire to release its own pickup truck. During the work it was decided to make the vehicle as safe as possible for the driver. This was achieved thanks to the stainless steel body, especially the durable glass and angular shape of the electric car. As a result, the car acquired such an unusual appearance.

Cybertruck isn’t Elon Musk’s first extravagant idea to be brought to life. We talked more about it in a separate article.

Batmobile – the main innovation “Arkham Knight” (Batman: Arkham Knight) compared to previous parts of the series. The car develops tremendous speed and has excellent control, and with the help of a grappling hook the car can climb vertical surfaces. But its main feature is the ability to transform into a light tank. In this mode, the maximum speed of the Batmobile drops sharply, but it becomes possible to “shoot” left and right (move sideways, look forward), and destroy enemy drones with a powerful cannon.

Each of the fifteen racing cars in this game is a futuristic car with a bizarre shape. They do not ride on the ground, but float above it. As a result, cars can accelerate to prohibitive speeds. Of all vehicles in FAST RMX we chose Mech Guyva as the most interesting from a design point of view.

Action Tron 2.0 takes place in virtual reality. As you progress through the story mode, you will take part in a mini-game called “light bike”. In it, your task is not to overtake your opponent, but to force him to crash into the line drawn by your futuristic bike. Opponents understand this very well and try to trap you.

A classic hovercraft arcade racing series. They reach breakneck speed, making local control difficult on narrow roads, especially at first. But once you get the hang of it, you can not only overtake your opponents, but also push them off the track.

Like the most unusual car We chose Fatshark for the F-Zero GX. Outwardly, it resembles a chariot pulled by two mechanical sharks.

A sports car that essentially looks more like a tank. Xerxes 3 – the most armored of all cars Rage 2, but at the same time the slowest. However, the firepower of its cannon more than makes up for its shortcomings in speed. An excellent choice for attacking an enemy convoy, storming bases or fighting local bosses.

Online GTA 5 features futuristic hypercars. Among them, we’ve highlighted the Pegassi Tezeract, one of the fastest and best-handling cars in the game. It is interesting that, as planned, we have a car with an electric motor.

In the first In Mass Effect, situations often arise where the distance between the landing zone and the final destination is several tens of kilometers. To bridge this distance, a six-wheeled Mako, an SUV with a machine gun and a cannon on board, is used. The life support system allows you to survive in any conditions, and thanks to powerful engines, this car develops decent speed and can even make small vertical jumps.

In Night City you see both real cars, such as a Porsche 911, and futuristic supercars. Guinevere seemed to us the most unusual of them. The appearance immediately suggests that this is a vehicle from the distant future, which only the rich and the main character can afford. Cyberpunk 2077.

Another race that offers a ride on flying cars. But if FAST RMX and F-Zero GX remained exclusive to Nintendo consoles, then Redout 2 is available on all current platforms, including PC. It’s hard to distinguish one specific car: all the vehicles in the game look like cars from the distant future. We chose “Dragon” as the most stylish of them.

In the series Borderlands featured a variety of vehicles. But we were most surprised by the Cyclone. It is a huge wheel with a driver’s seat in it. This unusual vehicle is equipped with three types of weapons: devices for launching explosive games and saws, as well as heavy cannons.

The Regalia is a luxury car that Noctis drives around in Eos, the world where the action takes place. Final Fantasy 15. Externally it looks stock, especially by the standards of our selection. However, with one of the upgrades you can turn this sports car into an airplane. Moreover, ‘slicing’ the Regalia through the air is much more interesting than driving on local roads.

Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer is included in all the tops of the best Star Wars games. This is not just a game based on a movie license, but a high-quality racing game with adrenaline-pumping racing and well-thought-out physics of flying cars with huge engines. We would like to draw attention to the transport of young Anakin Skywalker. It was then that the future Darth Vader won the race in the first episode of Star Wars (Star Wars. Episode 1: The Phantom Menace).

Another car that looks like a sports car from the near future. It is equipped with electromagnetic cannons, turrets and a particularly powerful bumper that doubles as a battering ram. If necessary, you can switch on the autopilot. In this mode, the computer controls the car itself while you are busy shooting bandits.

The main feature of this SUV is its stealth mode, which makes the vehicle completely invisible. With its help, you can freely drive around enemies from behind and then deploy a turret or time dilation generator. Note that inside StealthBender was not found in the main game; it was added along with the Titan Pack update.

In the series Spy Hunter we drive in a transforming sports car. It easily turns into a motorboat, so you can sail it not only on land, but also on the surface of the water. In addition, the vehicle is equipped with machine guns, a rocket launcher, mines, smoke bombs and a flamethrower.
