First up is theDiesel, a muscle car that seems to be ripped straight out of a dystopian movie. The vehicle is both sturdy and slick, boasting a considerable amount of weight while featuring an intricate design woven throughout.

With a low-hanging body typical of sports cars, complemented by sharp and intricate details, the Cyclone stands out as a stylish yet original ride.

Diving into real-world cars now withtheDodge Charger SRT Hellcat, featured heavily inFast & Furious 9.

A Retro Car With A Touch Of Modern Power
Next up is a more original design, one that may be inspired by cars from the Ferrari series. This is, of course, theDeistro, a retro-style car with just a touch of modern design. The narrow, long bonnet of the Deistro gives it a classic retro look, but with its intricate design and rear spoiler, one could easily imagine this car being mass-produced today.
The primary color players go with will cover most of the car’s body, while their paint style will mainly alter the trims, allowing for some neat designs — especially if players go forthe Deistro’s Gold Trim. This supercar alsocomes with six unique decals, with Old Flame and Sooo Fly standing out as some of the best. With the amount of customization players are offered, the Deistro may just be one of the best cars available.
10Dominus GT
A Modern Muscle Reimagined
Though the Diesel may appear to be a futuristic muscle car, theDominus GTis a true, authentic one. This vehicle has the look and feel of a classic muscle car, featuring a bulky design that just screams horsepower. The dark details throughout the default version of this car are sleek, along with the subtle sharp accents around the arches. What really sells this car, however, is the supercharger mounted on the engine.
The Dominus GT is no stranger to detail, with its intricate paintwork, narrow windows, and bronze exhaust pipes being just some of the standout features that players will appreciate. It also comes withsix unique decals for further customization, allowing players to create their own unique designs.

Megalo Don’s Iconic Monster SUV
Fortniteseems to be sorely lacking when it comes to skins for the SUV, but the few that are in the game offer a diverse range of designs. The very first SUV skin inFortnitehistory is theBehemoth, which many fans may recognize as the same vehiclethe Megalo Don bossused to cruise around the island inFortniteChapter 5 Season 3.
Keeping in line with the season’s theme, the Behemoth boasts a dieselpunk-esque design, taking the form of a monster jeep—a rather unique look compared to other vehicles on this list.

It also comes witha few notable decals, such asthe Behemoth Dune Hunter and Rubius decals, each offering a fresh take on the vehicle’s look.
7Lockjaw
Ringmaster Scarr’s Speedy Cruiser
Keeping in line with vehicles that debuted in Chapter 5 Season 3 is theLockjaw, another boss vehicle turned cosmetic—this timedriven by the Ringmaster Scarr boss. The Lockjaw features a design similar to the Behemoth, complete with a toothy, shark-like mouth and glowing eyes on the front.

At its core, the Lockjaw is a muscle car, boasting a rugged design reminiscent of something straight out ofMad Max. It also comes witha few unique decals, including Lockjaw Oasis, Lockjaw Heatwave, and Lockjaw Blackout.

Following the Lockjaw istheLamborghini Urus SE, another real-world vehicle, and one ofFortnite’sfew SUV car bodies. This four-seater may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a Lamborghini, but it looks incredibly impressive for a Super SUV. It boasts a broad, stylish design and one of the best-looking bumpers among most vehicles.
What truly sets the Lamborghini Urus SE apart is itsroster of unique decals, each offering a drastically different look. The most striking option is the Opalescent Decal, whichshifts between shades of teal, pink, and purpleas players rotate their camera. Another standout is Blue Shapeshift, featuring a deep blue hue with a dynamic, two-toned glossy finish.
