The Rai-Jin Turbo is an online car that was released in the Cagney update. Like the Hunter Olympus, it is a Boostless vehicle. Nonetheless, both vehicles can still do Showtime. Once you start the event, a gray and white bar shows up equivalent to the size of a normal stunt boost bar. Its handling is a little unstable and drifting may cause it to spin out because of its extreme rear weight. The Rai-Jin's top speed rivals an Extreme Hot Rod's, and it is also capable of outrunning the PCPD Special and GT Nighthawk at full boost. With a strength of 4, it's not suited to battle tougher vehicles like the Inferno Van or the Takedown 4x4. Still, it can take on lighter vehicles of equal strength such as the Touge Sport & Hawker with ease.

[edit] Description
The all new Nakamura Rai-Jin Turbo is a Boost-free, back to basics reinvention of the GT sports car. High mechanical grip makes it quick and nimble through traffic, but the rear engine/rear wheel drive configuration means that when the back end does step out, it steps out with conviction!
[edit] How to Unlock
This car is currently available to any player who is in an Online Freeburn. Just drive to the nearest Junkyard and the Rai-Jin Turbo will be waiting for you there under "Online Cars".
- Please view this article's Notes for more details.
[edit] Resemblance
The general appearance of the Rai-Jin Turbo is similar to that of an Audi R8 with Aston Martin DBS taillights. However, from the side and front quarters, one can also sense that the 2001 Nissan GT-R Concept was another big influence on the Rai-Jin's design.
The hood of the Rai-Jin bears some resemblance to a Bugatti Veyron's, while the wheels appear like ones that come standard on the Lamborghini Gallardo.
