The biggest advantage the B2 has over most Class A cars is handling. It is very responsive and does not tend to fishtail at any speed. This makes the B2 more effective in corners than any Class A Porsche and even the Lotus Elise.
Acceleration is another strong trait of the vehicle, as it is up to par with any high-performance Class A car. Its nitrous boost is average, but can be improved with skill mods. Top speed is 202 mph (325 kmh).

Edit
The B2 was released on October 26th, 2012 in a Treasure Hunter trim. It is modified with multiple aftermarket parts including a body kit as well as Gromlen race tuned performance upgrades and two-star rated skill mods. It has an overall rating of 737 and is purchaseable for ![]()

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)
Edit
The B2 was revealed to be featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) during a gameplay demo at EA's 2012 Gamescom Conference. It appeared as an AI controlled rival.
It was officially revealed to be featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) on August 29th, 2012 via the official Need for Speed Facebook feed.
The B2 appears as a Sports classed vehicle and can be found in various Jack Spots in singleplayer. It is unlockable upon reaching a certain SpeedLevel in multiplayer.
The overall performance of the B2 is among the best in the Sports class due to a quick acceleration and a high top speed. Its outstanding straight-line performance does come at the expense of handling in comparison to the Nissan GT-R Egoist and other nimbler cars.
