The DP Superior is an unusual one-off modified Coil Savanna making its first and (so far) only appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Nexus City. It is Blake Johnson's default vehicle, having been built from a 2028 Coil Savanna.
Appearance, Design & Inspiration[]
The DP Superior is based off of the Tesla Cybertruck and some design cues are taken from the DeLorean DMC-12 Time Machine from Back to The Future, most notably the variable-height anti-gravity repulsors replacing the Cybertruck wheels. The nature of this vehicle is based off of the Anti-Gravity Ships from the WipEout series by Psygnosis.
The most significant feature of the Superior is the Triple Thruster Block at the back. This consists of two DP AC-21 Combined Cycle Electro-Gravitron engines on each side as secondary booster engines for acceleration past Mach 1.6, and one DP WR-91 Open Cycle Thermal Pulse-Ramjet functioning as the main propulsion. To activate the Electro-Gravitron System, the player must press the jump button (PlayStation Cross Button, Xbox A Button [Applicable for Apple TV], Space Bar on PC/Mac/Linux), and the in-car computer will say "PLAID Mode engaged".
The Antimatter collection/containment tank is in the rear of the car, forcing Blake to use the front trunk to hold minimal cargo, or to teleport items onto the Pillar of Technology/whatever aircraft/spacecraft Blake is using. This is the only flaw that the car has, but to compensate, the car is slightly longer and can fit a third row of 3 seats, and the antimatter collection systems in the tank allow for the Superior to have a theoretically infinite range.
The interior of this car is not modeled directly on the real Cybertruck’s interior. Instead it uses an interior based on that of the 2022 Hummer EV, albeit with a 3rd seat in the front and a 3rd row in the rear.
The top speed of the car is 1975.68km/h (1227.631mph, Mach 1.6) using only the central jet engine, and 30870km/h (19181.729mph, Mach 25) using ramjet and electro-gravitron system.
There is a set of pionium cannons concealed within the front side bumpers of the car. Pressing the drive-by weapon aim button (PlayStation L1 Button/Xbox LB Button [Also for Apple TV]/Right Mouse Button on PC/Mac/Linux) will reveal the cannons. They shoot 800 pionium pulsed laser beams every second.

Trivia[]
- The throttle mechanism for the Superior's pulse-ramjet is rather unusual, being a foot-controlled throttle lever, where the acceleration pedal was, and the brakes are radial airbrakes that are deployed using the brake pedal (or alternatively, the paddles behind the steering wheel).
- This is the only vehicle from DP that is unlocked with your phone (as any Coil vehicle is unlocked using your phone).
- Due to its already unusually high top speed (thus making it the fastest car in the HD Universe), the DP Superior is unable to get any engine upgrades.
- As noted by many of the passengers, there is a significant thud when the Electro-Gravitron Propulsion System is engaged above Mach 1. Blake doesn't seem to notice, probably due to being partially detached from his surroundings.
- This (and the rattling when this car surpasses 300km/h) are due to the Coil Savanna not being designed to travel at such high speeds.
- The engine sounds for when below 900km/h are similar to the sounds the Auricom ship in WipEout Omega Collection makes. Between 900km/h and 1975km/h it sounds like the Triakis ship, while above 1975km/h it starts sounding like the Goteki 45 ship. Upon reaching 3058km/h, the sounds change to a distorted rocket engine.
