Ah, Tokyo Xtreme Racer. The series that lets you pretend you're the king of Tokyo's highways while your neighbors wonder why you’re making engine noises at 2 AM. With the reboot dropping in early 2025, car enthusiasts and casual gamers alike are gearing up to fill their digital garages. Let’s break down how to unlock new cars and keep the rubber burning.

Starter Cars

When you kick off the game, you’ll have the budget of a broke college student. You get three options:

  • Mazda Roadster RS (2015) – For those who like curves, both on the road and on their car.

  • Suzuki Swift Sport – Zippy and fun, like a caffeinated hamster.

  • Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex – Because everyone secretly wants to relive their "Initial D" dreams.

Earn credits by beating opponents in SP Battle races and gradually climb your way up from these humble beginnings. Or lose and blame it on "input lag."

Unlocking Cars in Dealerships

Here’s where things get interesting (or frustrating, depending on your patience):

  1. Beat Rivals: Rivals aren’t just random AI—they’re quirky, named characters with cars tuned to perfection. Take them down, and you’ll unlock their sweet rides under the “Custom” category. Who wouldn’t want to drive something called "Rolling Guy No.1"?

  2. Skill Tree: Perk points, or BP (because acronyms are cooler), are earned by racing. Use them to unlock specific car models in the game’s skill tree. Think of it like a fancy menu where the price is pain and victory. Once unlocked, these cars show up in the dealership, waiting for you to fork over your hard-earned credits.

The Cost of Going Fast

Each car has a price tag, and they’re not exactly cheap. For example:

  • Mazda RX-7 Type RZ (FD3S) – 4,086,000 CP. Expensive, but worth it for that sweet rotary engine.

  • Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (BNR34) – 5,571,000 CP. Your wallet will cry, but your heart will sing.

Pro tip: Don’t blow all your credits on upgrades for a slow car when you’re eyeing a beast like the Toyota Supra RZ.

Bonus Tips for Grinding Credits

  • Focus on Rivals: They’re tough, but beating them gets you credits, BP, and cool cars.

  • Choose Upgrades Wisely: Slapping a turbo on a Swift won’t turn it into a Skyline.

  • Replay Races: Grinding is part of the charm—or torture, depending on how you see it.

Final Blurb

Unlocking cars in Tokyo Xtreme Racer isn’t just about beating races. It’s a mix of patience, strategy, and the occasional urge to throw your controller at the wall. But hey, that’s all part of the fun, right?

So, get out there, pick your battles, and start building your dream garage. And remember, losing is just winning with extra steps.
