O'Neill's reputation was unmatched. With just a single shout, he drew out every major name on the West Coast.
After Bumblebee's Camaro rolled in, even wilder machines followed one after another.
First up: the car of choice for James Bond himself—
Aston Martin DB11.
Finished in a matte glass-blue, its flowing waistline and floating roofline exuded pure elegance and power.
Its rear LED taillights glowed like a vision from the future.
Under the hood roared a brand-new 5.2L twin-turbo V12, pushing out 600 horsepower and topping out at 322 km/h.
Then came something out of Men in Black—
a 2020 Lexus RCF Track Edition.
It wore the signature spindle grille, sharp LED headlights, and new carbon-fiber body panels that screamed race-bred DNA.
Its 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 pumped out 478 horsepower, launching it from 0–100 km/h in just 4 seconds with its electronic launch control.
And it didn't stop there.
McLarens.
Ford Mustangs.
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
Koenigsegg hypercars.
Even the ultra-rare Spania GTA Spano, a car that looked like it drove straight out of GTA V.
The Spano was the first production car to use graphene in its construction, paired with an aggressive wedge design.
Up front, massive intakes framed with LED running lights gave it an intimidating stance.
Inside, an 8.3L V10 (sourced from the Dodge Viper) screamed with 900 horsepower, 0–100 in 2.9 seconds, topping at 350 km/h.
The Violence District had turned into a supercar showcase.
Every car glowed with underbody lights, their presence overwhelming.
Young heirs and playboys stepped out, slapping hands with friends.
Models and club girls threw themselves onto hoods, kissing drivers in dramatic displays.
The music grew louder. The crowd grew thicker.
Every new arrival drew roars of excitement.
And then—
Dominic Toretto arrived.
But he wasn't driving his usual Dodge Charger.
That muscle car, iconic as it was, couldn't compare to the beasts prowling here tonight.
Instead, Dom rolled in with a monster—
the Hennessey Venom F5.
Gasps ripped through the crowd.
"The Venom F5! No way! That's insane!!"
Born to break records, the Venom's aerodynamic design was ruthless—
giant side intakes, a razor-sharp front splitter, towering fenders channeling downforce, a massive rear wing, and a wild triangular exhaust that made it instantly recognizable.
Its twin-turbocharged V8 blasted out over 1,817 horsepower.
0–300 km/h in under 10 seconds.
Top speed: 480 km/h.
Dom looked every bit the king.
But then O'Neill rolled in.
And he wasn't in his Bugatti Chiron anymore.
This car looked like it had been dropped from the future.
Jagged, predatory lines.
Exhaust pipes shaped like jet nozzles.
A triangular nose like a bullet chambered and ready to fire.
The crowd lost their minds—
"Devel Sixteen! It's real! The legend!!"
The beast from Dubai.
Packing a 7.2L quad-turbo V16, built with F1 technology, producing a staggering 5,000 horsepower.
Its exhaust system was modeled after jet turbines, made from aerospace-grade ceramic composites and titanium alloy.
0–100 km/h in 1.8 seconds.
Top speed: 560 km/h.
It was a track monster.
The moment it appeared, every other supercar looked dull.
The Devel radiated pure dominance—
a car that belonged in myth, not reality.
"Too strong!"
"This is hopeless!"
"That guy with the van? He's here to die tonight!"
"Hahaha, he's done. Total trash."
"If he somehow wins, I'll patch his roof myself!"
Laughter rolled through the crowd, sneering at Leon.
To them, it was a joke.
Against monsters like these, what chance did a delivery van have?
Even at his best, Leon's van could maybe scrape 200 km/h.
That wasn't racing speed—that was warm-up pace.
In contrast, O'Neill's Devel could hit 500+ with ease.
And the final stage of tonight's race?
A 10-kilometer straight-line sprint.
Pure top speed. No tricks. No shortcuts.
Just raw machine versus raw machine.
On that road, the slower car had no chance.
O'Neill was already holding all the cards.
Even Dom's Venom F5 would struggle against him.
And Leon?
The crowd laughed harder.
The idea that his mystery "Silver Marauder" could stand against these gods? Impossible.
