Rocket Racing is one of the most recent additions to theFortniteecosystem of games. It smartly utilizes the blueprints created byRocket Leagueand adapts them into a package that works wonderfully as an arcade racer. It was made by the developers of RL and features cars that are shared between the two games, even if they weren’t in RL previously (we’ll get to that later).
The game released with six car bodies in total, which are cosmetic only and give you no competitive advantage at all in the game. More car bodies will be available in the future, with continued cross-ownership between the two games.
These car bodies bring no gameplay advantage whatsoever. As such, this isn’t a ‘best of’ ranking. The car bodies are ordered alphabetically instead.
1Cyclone
A Rocket League Classic Makes Its Return
Cyclone is a car body that made it to Rocket Racing from its older brother. It was released in Rocket League back in 2018, and if you already own it, you can race away from the get-go. If you don’t, you can acquire it in a bundle in Rocket Racing’s item shop. You can also buy it in Rocket League, as the car bodies are cross-owned between the two games.
It is a slick-looking supercar that really shows its cool design when you are drifting through the maps. It has the Breakout hitbox.

2Diesel
This is one of two new car bodies released alongside Rocket Racing. It wasn’t available in Rocket League previously, but it is now. You can acquire it in the item shop. Purchasing its bundle in one game will make it available in the other one, too. It is also available to purchase directly in Rocket League, if you prefer that method.
It feels like a classier version of RL’s Ripper (although it actually uses the Breakout hitbox), but it still looks like it came straight out of a Max Mad movie.
3Jäger 619
European Sturdiness
The Jäger launched in Rocket League all the way back in 2017. It has a very European appearance and looks much sturdier than a car like the Cyclone. It looks like a race car that can take a beating and mostly shrug it off, and it looks cool while doing so.
It has the Hybrid hitbox, sitting in a much more balanced area than most other cars available. Just like the Cyclone, it can be acquired in a bundle available in the Item Shop, which will unlock it for both games. The bundle is also available to purchase in Rocket League.
4Lamborghini Huracán STO
The Only Licensed Car In Rocket Racing
This is only available in Rocket Racing if you own it in RL already. Unlike the Jäger 619 and Cyclone, you cannot acquire this at all, at least for now. It isn’t available to buy in either game, so you’ll have to wait for the bundle to return to Rocket League or to make its way into Rocket Racing’s item shop.
The Lamborghini Huracán STO is the only real-life car available in Rocket Racing, and it looks fantastic. It shares a hitbox with Dominus.
5Octane
You Just Can’t Go Wrong With The OG
Octane has always been THE Rocket League car. It is the default body that comes with the game and the car you can see in the RL logo. The devs kept the tradition going with the release of Rocket Racing, where you’ll also be presented with Octane as your first body to use.
It really looks like a miniature toy car that was transformed into a real one. People who’ve played Rocket League will feel completely at home using it in Rocket Racing.
6Scorpion
Even Dominic Toretto Would Love This One
This is the second of the two new bodies added with Rocket Racing. Unlike the Diesel, you can only acquire the Scorpion through the Battle Pass, allowing you to use the car in Rocket League.
This car looks like an absolute tank. It looks like someone got a Takumi and transformed it into a car worthy of being driven in a Fast & Furious movie. It uses the Dominus hitbox.
