Resemblance

Acquisition
It is unlocked by beating Primo's first race, Seine Insane, however, it is not kept for the player, since it is given to Gina as a temporary car for the rest of Paris. Once in Tokyo, it is stolen by Ricky. By beating his two races, the player will unlock the car for their own driving pleasure.

Trivia

 * It is the only electric car to appear in the entire series.
 * The Vortex 5, despite apparently being an electric car, has exhaust pipes due to the use of nitrous and having an engine and gear changing sound.
 * The Vortex 5 is the only car to be owned by three racers, Primo, Gina and Ricky.
 * A vortex is a whirling mass of air, especially one in the form of a visible column or spiral, as a tornado, which explains its electric drivetrain.
 * It has the selection sound of the Kuruma Faasuto from Midnight Club: Street Racing, albeit 3 seconds longer.
 * It shares the same colors with the Saikou.
