Class	Car
Manufacturer	Herrera

The Herrera Riptide GT2 is a sports coupe that hides a modern racing car under a vintage shape. It opens with a single canopy instead of doors, so getting in feels like climbing into a cockpit. Rear-wheel drive and a light body make the back end step out when the throttle is held through a bend. Drivers who like a car that rewards a careful right foot pick it over the heavier all-wheel-drive sports cars. The Riptide GT2 is a Phantom Liberty car that turns up in Dogtown traffic.

Performance

Power goes to the back wheels alone, so the Riptide pulls hard in a straight line and slides if the throttle comes in early. The supercharged and twin-turbocharged engine answers at once, which makes it quick between corners rather than only fast at the top end. The light body helps it change direction, and it also means a hard hit does real damage. An on-board computer tunes the power delivery as the car accelerates.

Look for it in Dogtown traffic and take one from the road.

Lore

Herrera is a Spanish carmaker whose name sits on the Outlaw as well. The Database tells the story of the second Riptide as a faithful copy of the first one, built after the crisis that bankrupted the original marque. The old Riptide was a class-leading luxury sports car. The new one keeps the luxury and adds the speed, under a body cut in the neo-militarist style.

The company sells it only to customers who already bought an Outlaw, which keeps the car rare and the showrooms busy. The Database notes that both models leave the showroom about as fast as the Riptide GT2 leaves a traffic light.

Notes

The canopy lifts as one piece, so there is no door on either side.
