Best Cars in L.A. Noire, and Where the Hidden Cars Are
📅 Checked on
The most powerful car in L.A. Noire is the Duesenberg Walker Coupe: 265 horsepower and a 140 mph top speed on its showroom card, far ahead of the Phantom Corsair and the Talbot GS26 at 190 hp. It is one of the 15 hidden vehicles, parked in a garage behind the Automobile Club in Hollywood.
L.A. Noire has 95 drivable vehicles, and the showroom in the Extras menu gives each one a horsepower figure and a top speed. This page ranks them on those figures. One thing to know first: the top speed is the car's card, not what you reach on the road. Players report topping out around 86 to 87 mph on the speedometer, even in the Walker Coupe.
