Cheval Surge Appreciation Thread

Recommended Posts

I got this car as a bit of a joke since I already had a Prius. I wanted to add another Hybrid/Electric car to my garage. However, I love this car. It's surprisingly fast, and looks great with the mods and paint job. Matte paint FTW lol.

 

The only knock against it so far is that there is no Turbo option, but I guess that's not too surprising since it is electric lol

 

Anyone else have this car? If so post some pics! Here are a few I snapped today just to get this thread started up!

Great car (even if it's electric)

I love those blue lights turning on when you start up the engine.

Get a Karin Dilettante, a Coil Voltic and a Hijak Khamelion and you'll have all 4 electric cars!

 

I have yet to see someone with all electrics :p

I'll never own one, but I am always grateful when I come across one when I need a quick getaway vehicle and I don't have a PV handy.

LOL! That would be pretty hilarious. I'm halfway there now. Can I get a Khamelion, or is that only if you have a special edition? I'll have to start a quest for the Coil Voltic too!

Last time I checked, pretty sure it was Collector's Edition only.

Oh well. Maybe it will become available for the rest of us in the future. Still loving the Surge. That and the Prius are two of the vehicles that I drive the most. My character is clearly concerned about saving the environment lol

I love the Surge. Just sold mine though as I wanted a Faggio...

 

That and the Surge always seems to show up in LSC so its not like ill struggle to find one.

 

Great acceleration. I always feel lie its very easy to destroy though due to its lightness.

Yeah. The Surge is a good vehicle. I used it as a personal vehicle for a good while a long time ago. It got the job done. Oh and the Coil Voltic is awesome too!

Still loving my Surge! I was out on an epic store robbing campaign earlier today and the Surge was my vehicle of choice lol. Proud to say that I never got caught, but the Surge definitely suffered some battle damage lol!

 

I had to post some pics! The damage was pretty intense!

I'd love to have Tron wheels on this car! Great fun to drive either way though.

 

No turbo but how about a 'tesla button'.. that sucks all of the available electricity within a block radius to give a turbo boost while the city goes dark lol

I love the Surge, they have been great cars to escape shoot-outs and spawn kills until I can get the proper ammo. I just got a garage and the first car I put in there (beside my personal Granger) is a blue Surge. So far it is stock because I don't want to seep money into until I recuperate from buying the garage, but soon I will have it tuned up.

Yeah, it's just too bad all that electricity comes from a coal fired power plant!

LOL! Good point Forager. I guess that it is only fitting that my character isn't really 'eco-friendly' since my character also causes a lot of death and damage to the environment while roaming about each day lol

 

Great pics NikkoCharger! Everyone keep them coming!

 

ALSO: I purchased a Voltic to add to my electric car collection. I now have the Prius, Surge, and Voltic all lined up in my garage! I'll post a pic of it tonight!

I like how the front grille lights up, glows in the dark. Also it shares the vapid bullet rims. IMO the nicest rims in the game.

I love all things about this car. It is fast, quiet, unique noise, and the LED lighting is like on no other car. It is not flashy but it definitely performs upgraded. Great car, great thread about great car. Try it in the ultra blue paint.

Like the coil voltic, the acceleration and handling is there when compared to its sedan classmates, but it suffers from low top speed which is the trade-off for electric cars. Its definitely an alternative to all the tailgaters and super-diamonds you'll see at the starting grid.

Much like the Coil had to let it go as it can't be upgraded properly.

Lovely car though minus that horrible plastic face plate.

Only hybrid I can stomach is the Blista, it's fast and can fit anywhere.

Ummm, Blista isn't a hybrid, standard 4 cylinder engine powers it.

Also Voltic is pretty awesome.

i got one :

0_0.jpg

the reason why this is regular surge for improved stealth capability while off radar ( although depend on line of sight players and my accuracy )

 

this is it . customization includes :

- armour 100% = allows surge whitstand tremendous bullets it furter augemented being eletric car , it will not explode by bullets or fire but kill battery doing so

- braking = lv 1 brake enchances surge's braking , allowing little precise stop

- engine = lv 2 engine makes surge quicker to accelerate

- bulletproof tires = render surge's tires impossible to punchture

- paintjob = silver paintjob is near to identical found in street . however , it has dark green pearlscent but it seems impossible to distinguish one ( unless one is expert at colors )

- remote bomb = used for vehicle disguise assassination ( such as replacing a parked surge with this surge )

only way to identify my surge is this lisence plate :
