"Born on the ovals, the Nobuo Talladega's unique asymmetric design adapted well to road racing. Active aero keeps it firmly at ground level, though pilots may find left hand turns slightly easier. As its founder Saikin Tetsuo famously said, "Winning is easy. Winning with grace is hard." Acceleration - 3 Speed - 8 Handling - 4 Shield - 5 Firepower - 5 Asymmetry aside, this ship has improved ground effects, causing it to stick to the ground more and bounce less. It is fast and has great grip despite its slow turning response. Comes with the standard BNG liveries (Default, Alt, Neon, Clean, Stealth) and the Obaruresa livery. (XGL) An experimental offshoot of the AGL with few rules, aimed at encouraging experimental ship designs. Most serious innovations in the AGL found their roots in the XGL.
