The Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning (also known as the Silver Arrow) is an electric concept car that first appears in Asphalt 8: Airborne.
The Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning appears to be
front-engined by design (although the Nissan GT-R NISMO and Savage Rivale GTR
are actually the most powerful front-engined cars in the Asphalt series). The
Silver Lightning runs on omni-directional wheels that can turn it to virtually
any dimension except upwards. Another feature of the car is the Mag-Tech Roof,
which uses small lightweight magnetic squares. They can be quickly put together
to make a roof, or easily contracted to make a convertible.
Asphalt 8: Airborne The Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning
Is one of three electric
vehicles by Mercedes-Benz, alongside the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive
and Mercedes-Benz Biome. The Silver Lightning is second most powerful electric
vehicle in the game, beaten by the NanoFlowcell QUANT FE. It is also the second
most powerful Mercedes-Benz in the game, beaten by the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe
Touring Car 2014. Even if the QUANT FE beats the Silver Lightning, the Silver
Lightning will still a better choice for most electric car events, due to the
QUANT FE having beyond abysmal drifting capabilities.
The Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning has a starting rank of
1542 and a maximum rank of 1647. Being an electric car, the Silver Lightning
accelerates rather slowly, even with the nitro activated. This allows even cars
with low nitro efficiency like the Koenigsegg Agera R to knock down a Silver
Lightning at the beginning of a race. Top speed, however, is very decent, but
not the best. Despite what the game shows as the handling, the Silver Lightning
actually handles quite well when drifting. The nitro lasts somewhat long, which
is a big help to this car, and is a better choice than Koenigsegg Agera R in
time-limited events involving middle S Class cars, alongside Bugatti Veyron
16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
