The Kerner Serpente R is a sports car in Just Cause 3.

Description

It is a high-end, high-performance two door car, with the front fascia based on the Bentley Continental GT (namely the headlights and grille) and the rear-end inspirations from the 2001-2007 Aston Martin Vanquish. It's rims are directly taken from the Aston Martin Vantage too. It reads "V12 5.8T" on the boot lid which implies it has a turbocharged 5.8-litre V12 engine.

The Rebel drop description: "Kerner's top sports model, boasting speeds in excess of 250 km/h. Tuned for Drifting, this monster combines ferocious performance with best-in-class luxury."

See Weaponized Serpente for the armed version of this car.

Performance

It is very fast. Its acceleration belies its weight and size, and its high torque output means it can gather speed quickly in almost any situation on the road. Handling is decent, but it is more a fast cruiser than racer with a seemingly electronically limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph). Its only flaw in fast driving is its lack of ABS and grabby rear brakes that are prone to locking under anything more than light, progressive inputs. As the description states, it can be a great choice for drifting, with a good mix of RWD and power.

Locations

Trivia

• "Serpente" means "snake" or "serpent" in Italian.
• It has a weaponized variant which is simply called "Weaponized Serpente".
