Class D[]
Class C[]
Despite being put into the Tuner Class, the Lotus Elise 111R lacks body customization options.
Class B[]
Despite being put in the tuner class, none of them are actual tuners and are pseudo-exotics due to lacking body options in the Body Shop, being limited to wheel customization, while the Dodge Charger SRT-8, despite having body upgrades, uses the Luxury cars body set instead due to being part of the Chrysler LX platform, which is shared with the Dodge Magnum R/T and Chrysler 300C.
Body Upgrades[]
- For more info on the body parts for Tuner Cars, please see Body Shop/Body Upgrades (Tuners). The body parts are the same for every Class D and Class C Tuner, except for the hatchbacks' spoilers, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS having no taillight options, and the Lotus Elise 111R and Class B tuners having no body options. The Dodge Charger SRT-8 instead uses the Luxury body part options

Trivia[]
- Despite being classified as Import Tuners, the Lotus Elise 111R and all Class B Tuners are technically a de facto Exotics/Concept, as they do not have any body kits available.
- The Dodge Charger SRT-8, despite being described as a new world Muscle Car, is put into the Tuner Class, but uses the Luxury Cars body part set.
- While the Dodge Charger SRT-8 is listed as a Class B Tuner, it's opponent selections are slower than the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34), which get low-end Exotics or Class B Sport Bikes as their typical opponents.
- Despite being a Class C Tuner, the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34)'s performance when fully upgraded is at par with the low-end Exotics.
- This is likely due to it's higher upgrade costs, in which, the nitrous upgrade matches that of the Exotics.
