How to Get Cars in Midnight Chasers
Every unlock method for all 20 cars, sorted by how you actually earn them: level unlocks, race wins, events, tournaments, and achievement milestones.
5 Ways to Get Cars
1. Default (Free)
The Starter Coupe is free from the start. Every other car must be earned or bought.
2. Level Unlocks
Most cars unlock by reaching a level, then buying them with cash. Level 15 gives the Drift King, Level 50 gives the Hurricane GTR.
3. Race Wins
Some cars unlock by winning races — 50 wins for the Apex GT, or night-race wins for the Ghost Runner and Shadow GT.
4. Events & Tournaments
Limited-time events and weekend tournaments drop exclusive cars. The Crimson Fury was event-only; the Phantom S7 needs a top-3 finish.
5. Achievement Milestones
Complete in-game milestones: drift 10,000m for the Razor Edge, use nitro 100 times for the Nitro X1, finish the EV challenge for the Jolt EV.

Fastest Way to Earn Cash
The most efficient grinding method: pick the Bolt R (best acceleration for its price tier), run short city tracks, and aim for 1st place consistently. Short tracks = more races per hour = more cash. With the Bolt R on city tracks, you can earn roughly $80,000-120,000 per hour at level 20+.
Recommended Unlock Order
- Starter Coupe (free) → Save $180,000
- Flash Z ($180,000) → Better acceleration for city races
- Drift King ($380,000, Level 15) → Best handling for technical tracks
- Bolt R ($500,000, Level 20) → Best acceleration-to-price ratio
- Eclipse RX ($620,000, Level 25) → Well-rounded stats
- Apex GT ($850,000, Win 50 races) → Endgame speed machine

How to Get Cars FAQ
What is the fastest way to unlock cars in Midnight Chasers?
Focus on leveling up and earning cash at the same time. Run short city tracks for the most races per hour, and buy the Flash Z ($180,000) as soon as you can — it earns its cost back by making every race easier to win. Then follow the path Flash Z → Eclipse RX → Apex GT.
What is the first car I should buy in Midnight Chasers?
The Flash Z is the first car to buy. At $180,000 it is affordable after a couple of hours of racing, and its 92 acceleration is a huge jump from the free Starter Coupe. Save for the Flash Z first, then move on to the Eclipse RX at $620,000.
Can I still get event cars like the Crimson Fury?
Event cars like the Crimson Fury are only available during their limited-time event windows. Some have returned exactly once and may not come back. Check the in-game events board every Friday — if an event car is listed, prioritize it over regular racing.
How do I earn cash fast in Midnight Chasers?
Run short city tracks and aim for first place consistently — first place pays 3-5x more than last. The Bolt R is the best acceleration-to-price car for grinding, and at level 20+ you can earn roughly $80,000-120,000 per hour.
