Description | |
"Behold my Wonders." |
Jadead is one of the 50 original cars from Carmageddon: TDR 2000. It first appears in HiRise, being encountered halfway through the game.
Design
It is a beat-up one-seater resembling the 1997 Chrysler Plymouth Prowler in passing. It has spikes in each of its fenders and wheels, as well as a spiked front and pointed rear.
Performance
Jadead's strengths are its acceleration and handling, which makes this car a decent option for racing, but is unfortunately outclassed by other vehicles of the same tier. The car is not good for wasting opponents and doesn't have a great top speed either, only reaching 206mph when fully upgraded. It may not be a good idea to buy it, especially with the price of 1,360,000 credits[1].
Driver
The driver, named "Jay Dead" in the files, is a pale man with a gothic appearance and without a mouth. He wears full black clothes.
