It’s time to learn all about the vehicles coming at the launch of Season 4 in Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown! Before we get into that, we want to remind you that this month our upcoming TDUSC Season 4 and Year 2 Documentary arrives! Be sure to keep posted on our Nacon Racing social media pages to not miss the reveal and date!
WHAT’S INSIDE THE LETTER?
Casino Vehicle
Vehicles Arriving In Dealership

Console Performance Improvements In Season 4
🎰 Casino Vehicle
In Season 4, the Casino arrives. At launch, the 'Macao Lights' slot machine can offer the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series as its primary jackpot, or 77,777 Casino Chips as its secondary jackpot.
Similar to TDU2, there will be 2 versions of slot machines. One is meant to provide a vehicle as a jackpot, the other to provide a lot of Casino Chips. That said, we mentioned earlier on our social media pages the Mid-Season 'Golden Dragon' slot machine can offer a jackpot of 1,000,000 Casino Chips. Although not at launch, when you convert your chips back to Solar Coins in a following update, that's 2 million Solar Coins in earnings due to 2 Solar Coins = 1 Casino Chip!
You’ll also be able to find a clothing store, and a car part store! However, as we are focusing on vehicles, here’s a tease and some rims you can expect to find in the store!
Don’t forget, you will also be able to find Poker arriving in the mid-season update too! You’ll see gameplay of this in the S4/Y2 Documentary!
🚗 Vehicles Arriving In The Dealership
This season will have a surplus of vehicles as we changed a gameplay mechanic. To quickly recap, before Season 4, we had a ranked vehicle that players could earn if they achieved Solar Court or above in the previous Season. That vehicle was then available to all players in the dealership the Season after. This meant when we marketed a vehicle for a Season, players could not access it for another 3 months, and then all players couldn't access it for 6 months. It was also an issue because ranked is currently not an optimal experience. So starting Season 4, Ranked no longer rewards players with a vehicle, only money, and what vehicles were ranked, arrive in the dealership on day one! Here’s a full reveal of all the vehicles arriving in the dealership on day one in TDUSC’s Season 4 launch!
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is the Season 2 ranked vehicle reward arriving in the dealership for all players in Season 4! Good news, you will finally see its wing work, along with many other vehicles!
Although arriving at the start of Season 3, this vehicle finally makes its accessible debut in TDUSC, and is the first time the Aston Martin Valour makes it into an open-world racing game! Enjoy this beautifully crafted vehicle with a manual shifter, and a great sound!
Nothing screams TDU more like cruising in a convertible car with the roof down! The Aston Martin DB11 Volante is the perfect vehicle to experience some of those summer vibes in Ibiza! Head to the dealership to pick this vehicle up on day one!
☀️ Solar Pass Vehicles
Last but not least, let’s go over what vehicles you will be seeing for Season 4’s launch! Just like the ranked vehicle distribution, we have improved the Solar Pass too. Here is how it will work for Season 4:
At Level 50, all players can unlock the signature vehicle of the season.
If you own the Solar Pass, you’ll get even more:
At Level 1, instantly unlock an exclusive vehicle the moment you buy the Solar Pass.
At Level 15, you can grab another vehicle. (This vehicle can also be obtained instantly with the VIP Solar Pass as it unlocks 20 levels)
And at Level 50, join everyone in unlocking the signature vehicle of the Season
So now that we explained this, let’s go through what vehicles you will see!
First, let’s introduce the Level 1 (Premium Tier) Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe VR Widebody Kit! This is the first time we are introducing bodykits in TDUSC, and you will see some more things that we are working on to improve the customisation aspect of TDUSC over the next Seasons. We still understand the TDU community doesn’t want to see ‘wild’ customisations, and we think what we have in store for you will be exciting!
The DeLorean Alpha5 arrives for the Level 15 (Premium Tier) slot in the Season 4 Solar Pass! If you have the VIP Solar Pass, this car will instantly unlock for you because the VIP Solar Pass will skip 20 levels. Don’t forget to take your pictures of this car when the wing is up!
The Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato arrives to all players upon reaching level 50 of this Season's Solar Pass! Explore all of the trails found throughout Ibiza and Hong Kong Island to get the most out of this vehicle!
And these are all of the vehicles arriving in TDUSC’s Season 4!
🎮 Console Performance Improvements In Season 4
Good news console players! In Season 4, you should see a slight increase in performance, especially those who are on PS5 with stuttering issues.
More fixes are planned for the Season 5 KT Engine update which will be applied on all platforms. With this, you can also expect an improvement in the game's graphics. The areas that are set to improve focus on the games lighting, weather, water shaders/reflections, shadows, vehicle reflections, and an improvement on performance/optimisation. As we said before, we will be able to share before and after screenshots/gameplay of these improvements in the Dev Doc, and closer to the release of the Season 5, we can confirm the specific gains on performance for all platforms.
Our Final Message
Our amazing vehicle artists are working hard on the next seasons ahead, and we are really excited to show you what vehicles we have coming in Year 2 of TDUSC! Don’t forget, you’ll be able to find the S4/Y2 Documentary released on our Nacon Racing YouTube and Twitch. Follow them now to make sure you don’t miss it!
