Luxury Rollers Car Club is a club that appears in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and specializes in Luxury cars. The club challenges the player after defeating Bishop in his first and only encounter.
Summary[]
After the player defeats Bishop, a cutscene players where Oscar will tell the player that the Luxury Rollers Car Club has invited the player to challenge them. The club only accepts racers who drive luxury cars. If the player drives a different vehicle type, they must go to the garage to switch to a luxury car.
Upon returning to Cruise Mode, after getting the Luxury Rollers invitation, the Balboa Park Tournament will open, in which the tournament awards a Chrysler 300C DUB Edition, which is given as a starter vehicle for the club races. The player can also win the 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T from the Ginza Tournament in Tokyo, which requires the player to use a Class D car. Like the 300C, the Magnum is awarded in a DUB Edition state, though the player can save the club races until after the U.S. Championship Series, which will increase payouts, ranging from $12,000 to $23,000, as well as the difficulty being reduced, with the player likely having a 4-nitro Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG, which is won from the San Diego DUB Tournament.
The club will set a total of 14 races across the three US cities, divided between 5 or 6 races per city. The player is awarded the Agro ability for luxury cars upon winning their third race in the club (or Zone for the Lexus SC430 and both Mercedes-Benz SL (R230) cars), and the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG will be rewarded for winning all races in the club (or $141,000 if the car was obtained early through hacking/cheating or having a full garage).
In the Tokyo Challenge mode of the game, the club organizes a tournament where the winner will be awarded an Infiniti G35. It opens after the player wins their 22nd Tokyo City Race.
Notable Racers[]
- Bishop (San Diego)
Strategy[]
As the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG is a C-Class Luxury Sedan, but with it's performance unable to keep up with high-end Class A opposition late in the game when it is unlocked, and with payouts tied to story progression, it is highly advised to skip the Luxury Rollers club races until after the U.S. Championship Series, which will raise payouts ranging from $12,000 to $24,000.
The best vehicle to use in the club races, is the Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG, being a reward for winning the San Diego DUB Tournament. As the SL55 is an AMG car, it already has very high performance for a Luxury car, which makes it unupgradable except for Nitrous, and uses the Zone ability.
Despite the game giving out the Chrysler 300C DUB Edition as an introductory vehicle for the club races, it isn't recommended to upgrade and use the 300C for the club races, owing to the SL55's availability, and the higher earnings when done after the U.S. Championship Series.

Trivia[]
- The Luxury Rollers are the only Car Club that does not have a racer represent them in the U.S. Championship Series
- However, according to planned car codes, it was originally planned that Angel would represent them, driving the Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG, until it was decided he would drive a Cadillac Cien instead, which is slower than the Saleen S7 (naturally aspirated), though has a larger engine and higher horsepower.
- As the Cadillac CTS-V is commonly encountered in the Club Races, even after the U.S. Championship Series with the Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG, it is one of the instances where the player can encounter a Class D vehicle under the said situation.
- Due to the fact that the CTS-V can be commonly encountered, and with the Lexus SC430 almost impossible to encounter late in the club races, the CTS-V can be considered more of a Class C Luxury Sedan.
