Vehicle Database
Complete specifications and details for all drivable vehicles in My Winter Car. From the reliable Sorbett to the legendary Corris Rivett.
About My Winter Car Vehicles
The vehicle roster in My Winter Car is a carefully balanced ecosystem designed for winter survival. The Sorbett provides an FWD safety net for daily tasks, the Kekmet offers heavy utility for recovery and hauling, and the Corris Rivett stands as the ultimate goal—a complex RWD machine that demands mechanical mastery.
Unlike standard racing simulations, My Winter Car simulates the granular physics of cold-weather automotive survival, from battery chemistry at -20°C to oil viscosity during a cold crank.

All Vehicles
Corris Rivett
Ford Taunus TC1
The main project car. A rear-wheel-drive European muscle car that demands mechanical mastery to build and driving skill to tame on icy roads.
Sorbett 1600 LTD
Talbot 1510
Your starting vehicle. A reliable front-wheel-drive hatchback that provides superior traction in snow and predictable handling.
Kekmet 502
Valmet 502
The indispensable heavy utility vehicle. Only vehicle capable of traversing deep snow without getting stuck.
Bachglotz
Oldsmobile 98 (1965)
Fleetari's loaner vehicle. A massive American land yacht that acts like a sled on ice.
Gifu
Sisu M-Series
Heavy-duty vacuum tank truck. Immense mass means stopping distances on ice are measured in football fields.
Jonnez ES
Suzuki PV 50
A highly dangerous transport option. Staying upright without studded tires is nearly impossible.
FWD vs RWD in Winter
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
- • Engine weight over drive wheels = better traction
- • Understeers at limit (plows straight, safer)
- • Predictable and beginner-friendly
- • Better for climbing unplowed driveways
- • Vehicle: Sorbett
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
- • Light rear end = less traction (add sandbags!)
- • Oversteers at limit (rear swings out)
- • Requires counter-steering skill
- • Can "steer with throttle" for drifting
- • Vehicles: Corris Rivett, Bachglotz, Gifu
Winter Driving Tips
Essential Equipment
- • Studded winter tires (mandatory)
- • Block heater (plug in 30-60 min before)
- • Sandbags in trunk for RWD vehicles
- • Ice scraper for windshield
Driving Techniques
- • Smooth inputs - avoid sudden braking/accelerating
- • Slow down before corners, not during
- • Keep RPM low to prevent wheelspin
- • Use engine braking on descents
