This game definitely looks promising. Combining the top down racing mechanics with WG is heavenly. As for car suggestions, I have a few of them. The first two would be good ideas if there was a barn find mechanic, where you could find certain special cars around the map to restore and use, like in the Forza Horizon Game Series. From left to right, is the Shelby 427 Cobra and the Jaguar E-Type.
For more modern cars, you could have the Porsche 911 (The regular and if you are doing things like offroad versions, the Dakar) or the Hennessey Venom F5 (for fast American Hypercar Performance)
Finally, for a more meme car, you could do the Amphicar. That way, if you implement water areas, you could have a vehicle that’s slow on land and slow in the water, but can go on both!! The mid of both worlds.
