The Montgomery Hyperion Rattler is the upgraded version of the Hyperion. It trades one speed point for one boost point. It remains the average car that it was except with a slightly lower cruising speed and slightly stronger boost. The better boost makes the Hyperion Rattler worse than the original since its handling under boost was already a problem. With less cruising speed, this upgrade actually makes the Hyperion worse. Like it's original version, the hood flies open whenever you're airborne. This also has the wheels of a Carson Inferno Van.

[edit] Description
The Hyperion Rattler is hot. Hot car. Hot spray-job. They've even managed to squeeze even more power out of the boost system too.

[edit] Resemblance
Like the base Hyperion, the Rattler may resemble the classic and iconic Jaguar E-type to some, with a bit of Porsche mixed in for flavor. However, from the side and oblique it most greatly resembles the TVR Cerbera which ties well with the other Montgomery vehicle, the Hawker, which resembles another TVR, the Sagaris. It is one of the few cars powered by a straight type engine model, you can see it if you rip of the hood in showtime, which the resemblant TVRs are known for. Both TVR and the fictional Montgomery manufacturer are based out of Great Britain, further enhancing the link.
[edit] Notes
- In Burnout Paradise's Free February Update, the Montgomery Hyperion Rattler's speed stat was lowered from 4 to 3. Because the Boost stat has been left untouched, this makes this version of the Hyperion actually better than the original, compared to its original performance before the 1.6 Update.
- Even if the Hyperion Rattler is in perfect condition, the hood can still fly open when airborne. This is because its hood is not properly secured.
