Once racers have been playing Asphalt 9 for a while, they'll find themselves running higher-ranking races that require cars with a more competitive edge. While A-Class isn't the best tier of vehicles in the game, it is a crucial step to winning those higher payout races. With A-Class races, there are a few cars that stand out as great options.

10 Jaguar C-X75

Jaguar C-X75

The Jaguar C-X75 is a great starting point for A Class cars in Asphalt 9. With a stock speed of 354 km/h and a max speed of 369.2 km/h, it is above average for stock A-Class vehicles. It also boasts above-average handling and nitro to help you keep a winning edge.

Where the C-X75 lacks slightly is in its acceleration. It ranks below average for stock and maxed cars in this category. That just means racers will have to use their nitro a little more to stay at top speed. It's definitely not the worst A-Class vehicle.

9 Lamborghini SC18

Lamborghini SC18

The Lamborghini SC18 is a fine option for A-Class races. Starting with a top speed of 350 km/h at stock and rising to 362.1 km/h when maxed, it sits just above average for the class. It also has just above-average acceleration. But where the SC18 really shines is in its exceptional nitro. It is well above average at both stock and max with the second larges NOS tank of A-Class cars.

But with that extra boost, racers may have a little difficulty keeping the vehicle under control, though its handling stats are not too terribly below average.

8 Lamborghini Aventador J

Also made by Lamborghini, the Aventador J not only looks sleek but performs well too. With above-average stock and maxed speeds at 350 and 363.8 km/h, respectively, and above-average nitro, it can certainly keep up with the competition.

At stock, the Aventador J's acceleration and handling are ever so slightly subpar. But given a few upgrades, its handling can be brought up to well above average for maxed A-Class cars. At maxed stats, the acceleration is just a couple of points behind average, making this vehicle an excellent option overall.

7 Ferrari F8 Tributo

Ferrari F8 Trebuto

At stock, the Ferrari F8 Tributo is less than impressive. Its stock top speed is only 340 km/h, below average for A-Class cars. The only thing it has going for it at stock is handling that is above even the maxed A-Class average, but that is to be expected of a vehicle with little power.

However, with a little tender loving care, it can perform well at max stats. Its maxed top speed sits at 360.2 km/h, just below average. Its nitro is slightly below average as well but acceleration is positive. What really sticks out here, is an incredibly high handling score, with the second-best handling of A-Class cars. Though speed and nitro may be low, with increased handling racers should be able to corners easier to make up the difference.

6 Aston Martin Valhalla Concept Car

Awaiting the 2022 Aston Martin Lineup, the Valhalla looks a little different from other cars on the track, but boy does it perform. It has a stock speed of 354 km/h and a maxed top speed of 376.5 km/h. It also brings excellent acceleration and handling to the track.

Though this car is a superb choice in the A-Class lineup, its nitro is well below average at stock, though the gap closes a little when its stats are maxed out. But it will still give competing racers a run for their money.

5 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta

A stylish combination of speed and handling from Ferrari, the LaFerrari Aperta will be an excellent companion on the race track. With above-average top speeds of 350 stock and 366.2 maxed, its acceleration and handling are also well above average, keeping you at the head of the pack.

The LaFerrari Aperta starts a little ways behind on nitro at stock but that can be remedied. Once you manage to get it to max stats, its nitro is just slightly below average. It is a very notable competitor.

4 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

Though its stock speed of 340 km/h and maxed speed of 356.9 km/h are below average for A-Class vehicles, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport makes up for the lack of speed in its other attributes. At stock and maxed stats, it holds above-average acceleration and well-above-average handling.

At stock, the Clubsport's nitro is lacking but it is pushed above average for A-Class when maxed. So despite the lower top speed, racers can make ingenious use of the car's other attributes to beat the competition on the track.

3 Citroen GT

Citroen GT

Certainly the fastest car in A-Class, the Citroen GT blows the competition away with the highest top speed for both stock and maxed A-class cars. At 375 km/h stock and 388.7 km/h maxed, it's hard to pass up. But speed isn't everything. The only other thing going for the GT is above-average handling for stock A-Class cars, which is impressive given its speed.

When maxed, the GT is only a threat in speed. Its acceleration, handling, and nitro are all subpar. Racers may struggle to keep the lead.

2 Peugeot Onyx

Peugeot Onyx

The Peugeot Onyx is tied for the second-highest stock speed at 360 km/h but drops to the sixth fastest of maxed A-Class cars with only 370.6 km/h, which is still fast. That being said, it has an average acceleration and excellent handling at both stock and maxed levels.

The only place the Onyx is really lacking is nitro. At both stock and maxed, it has the lowest nitro capacity of all vehicles in A-Class. As long as racers don't rely on nitro, it remains a fantastic choice.

1 Pagani Imola

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport

Tied with the Peugeot Onyx for the second-highest stock top speed of 360 km/h, the Pagani Imola pulls ahead of the Onyx when maxed with a  top speed of 378.2 km/h. At stock, the rest of the Imola's stats are just below average.

When maxed, the Imola's acceleration is still just below average, but nitro is above-average and handling is quite high. Altogether, when racers make the investment to max this vehicle, they will get great speed and will be able to take advantage of well-rounded stats, giving a great chance for gold.
