Real Cars In City

In Real Cars In City you start with four unlocked cars and zero progress toward the other sixteen, which matters more than it sounds like it should once the game's two separate currencies come into play.

What You Start With in Real Cars In City

The full roster is twenty sports cars, but only four are available from the very beginning. The remaining sixteen split into two unlock paths: eight bought with coins earned through regular play, and eight bought with keys, a separate currency that comes in much more slowly. The priciest coin car runs well into six figures of in-game currency, and the priciest key car costs 95 keys, which is enough that most players will spend a long stretch of early play driving nothing but the starting four.

1. Career mode hands out stars for completed objectives, which double as the main way to earn coins.
2. the no-objective mode drops the objectives entirely and adds secluded keys scattered around the map to find.
3. Hot Pursuit puts a police chase on top of normal driving, raising the stakes of every turn.
4. Crash Derby strips away the police and the objectives, leaving straightforward car-to-car destruction.

Coins Buy Speed, Keys Buy Patience

Coins come fast enough through Career stars that the coin-locked half of the garage feels like a normal progression curve. Keys are a different story — the no-objective mode is the main source, and since they're described as secluded, finding them usually means slowing down and exploring a racetrack instead of driving it at full speed. That's a real shift in pace for a game otherwise built around going fast, and it's the part new players most often misjudge, assuming key-locked cars will arrive at the same rate as coin-locked ones.

The Garage Handles Looks and Performance Separately

Once a car is unlocked, the garage splits customization into aesthetic changes and mechanical ones. The aesthetic side covers how a car looks; the mechanical side is where actual performance upgrades happen, and it's the mechanical side that matters once Hot Pursuit or Crash Derby start punishing a car that hasn't been upgraded to keep pace with later tracks.

How many cars are there to unlock in Real Cars In City?

Twenty total: four available immediately, eight unlocked with coins, and eight unlocked with keys, with the most expensive key car costing 95 keys.

What's the difference between Hot Pursuit and Crash Derby?

Hot Pursuit adds a police chase on top of standard driving, so evasion and speed both matter, while Crash Derby removes the police entirely and focuses purely on wrecking other cars.

Why does unlocking key-locked cars take so much longer than coin-locked ones?

Keys are earned mainly by finding secluded ones hidden around the map in the no-objective mode rather than through steady Career progress, so collecting enough for a 95-key car takes deliberate exploring instead of just playing through objectives.

Real Cars In City turns out to be less about any single racetrack and more about which of the thirty-six tracks a player is exploring in the no-objective mode, hunting down the keys that eventually unlock the other half of the garage.
