Cars that look cool, and drive fast, are a pinnacle of an open-world game. Many games set in a modern world will have vehicles, but none embrace the fun more thanSaints Row. With an abundance of cool cars tohelp the player look as good as they feelas The Boss of the Third Street Saints,Saints Row 2has plenty of cool cars to ride.

Cars are a great feature for any action game. High-speed chases across a highway with the law are thrilling and entirely exciting to dodge and weave between other civilian vehicles. Fast cars are lovable, and cars that look cool are the icing on the cake.Saints Row 2certainly accommodates players by having a bounty of cars, with some being the very best of the series.
7Raycaster
A sports car that seats two people, Raycaster features in all theSaints Rowgames. What makes the Raycaster fun is its ease of vehicle customization. It has a total of 23 vehicle customization options, withmodifications and paints availableto the player to make the kind of sports car of their dreams.
With butterfly doors, the Raycaster is a sought-after car by the Chop Shop in the Apartments District. It can be found rather commonly at the University, Arena, Museum, and Downtown Districts. This ease of availability makes the Raycaster a great car forSaints Row 2, as all players will be able to find it.
6Bulldog
SUV class vehicles are an absolute powerhouse of a vehicle. Their size is intimidating, especially on long roads against smaller and inferior vehicles. The Bulldog packs a lot of bark, and its size and ability to crash into other cars give the Bulldog an equal amount of bark. The pickup truck can also be modded with a roof-mounted .50 cal gun turret, meaningthe player and a Saint friendcan ride straight into the carnage.
Problems with the Bulldog arise from its size, as it has a wide turning radius. Yet, the Bulldog’s exceptional speed and control are on the better end of a truck-like vehicle. Players need to be careful with hard turns, as the Bulldog may flip over due to the high speed and sudden breaking. It can also dent easily, so if players are scared of a beaten-up car, the Bulldog may have to be driven normally rather than breaking the speed limit.
5Five-O
The Five-O is the name of the Police car used by the Stilwater Police Department, and the Ultor security officers with a 1-4 stars in Notoriety. The vehicle seats 4 people, meaning that theplayer and their crewcan rock with the police radio, andenjoy the mayhem they can causein a vehicle that isn’t their own and makes people believe that the law has gone truly mad.
The Five-O is a lot of fun to drive around because when the police lights and sirens are activated, all vehicles on the road will abide by the law and move to the side of the road to allow the police car to get past. Its high speed and damage resilience make for a great choice in early game missions, and to roleplay as a police officer.
4Vortex
As a Coupe-styled car, the Vortex is a convertible that can hold two people. The vehicle may appear rather rare and spawns in Hotels & Marina, High-End Retail, Downtown, Saint’s Row, and Red Light. InSaints Row 2, the Vortex can be purchased for $20,000 at Foreign Power dealerships.

The Vortex is more accessible than the same vehicle in the firstSaints Row. It has a great speed, with amazing handling. It’s one of the best vehicles in the game and the perfect choice for weaving between cars and using its grip to take sharp corners at incredible speeds.
3Bezier
Commonly spawning in the Hotel & Marina and Downtown Districts, the Bezier is a car to be looking out for. The vehicle is slick, and exciting to look at. It’s a high-end and exotic sports car, which can be enjoyed by two people. The Bezier is one of the fastest cars in the game and reaches intense speeds on par with some of the best cars in the game.
The Bezier can also be used as aGang Customizationcar after beating 30 Hoods. Or, players can enjoy a non-modifiable Bezier with racing decals if they complete all 10 car races. It’s a great vehicle worthy of an individual paint job and modification to enjoy showing off to the NPCs in the game what a cool vehicle looks and feels like.
2Attrazione
With a top speed of 100, the convertible vehicle will be sure to have the wind attacking the players’ hair. The car harbors an amazing level of sharp handling, speed, and a cool design of scissor doors. It’s by far the fastest car in the game because it does not need a Nitrous boost. Even using the Nitrous boost, the Attrazione does not increase its speed past its 100 top speed.

From Foreign Power, the Attrazione can be purchased for $40,000. It’s also adesired car by Chop Shopin the Truck Yard District. Players can rather easily find the vehicle inSaints Row 2, as it is commonly driven by civilians in the Saint’s Row District and the Rounds Square Shopping Center.
1Superiore
There’s a reason that the Superiore is named after something “superior.” The car is an exotic sports vehicle, which although can’t break a 100-top speed without a Nitrous boost, has utterly superb handling and quick acceleration. Players can reach very high speeds very quickly, meaning that they can easily get to their location without being late, and can avoid the police if they caused a tad bit of mayhem.
If players have a spare $60,000, they can pick up the Superiore from the Foreign Power car dealer. It’s one of the fastest cars in the game, with an array of customization options that range from over a selection of 35. It’s got a great personality for each player, with speeds to impress and match the look.
Saints Row 2is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
