The Montgomery Hyperion is an average stunt car, but has similar statistics to the Ikusa GT. This car does not seem to be as popular as other cars in the eyes of the players, unless they want to drive a classic. What really hampers this car is its unlock requirement; the player receives this car only after getting the B class license. Unfortunately, better stunt cars have already been unlocked by that time. It handles very similar to the Ikusa Samurai, but it is much lighter, so it accelerates a little faster. It drifts well and sports very responsive, yet stable handling. It is a solid all-rounder that sadly gets eclipsed by its later brethren. Despite this, the Hyperion and its upgrade, the Rattler, remain amongst the most controllable drift cars in the game, allowing for high speeds in races involving a lot of cornering.

[edit] Description
The Montgomery Hyperion has a few surprises up its sleeve. The problem isn't that it doesn't do what you tell it to, more that it does it all a bit too eagerly!
[edit] How to Unlock
Win 30 events, then shut it down.
[edit] Resemblance
The Hyperion model seems to resemble the classic, iconic Jaguar E-type & classic Lotus Europa. From the side and oblique it resembles the TVR Cerbera. From the back, the tail-lights are similar to that of the Chevrolet Corvette C2. It can be said that the Hyperion's design is also influenced by classic Porsche models.

[edit] Notes
- In Burnout Paradise's Free February Update, the Hyperion's speed stat was lowered from 5 to 3.
- Even if the Hyperion is in perfect condition, the hood can still fly open when airborne. This is because its hood is not properly secured.
- This is one of 2 Paradise cars that resembles a vehicle from Burnout Dominator: the American Classic.
