Description[]
The Chicane first appeared in AcceleRacers driven by Karma Eiss. The carbon fiber body is built apon a magnesium chassis with foamed frame, coilovers made a high stability allowing Chicane to be able to drive easily through chicanes (a chicane is a notch in a straightaway). This gave Chicane its name. This car is a Teku car with underglow neon. Unlike most AcceleRacers, this car and Bassline have LEDs. This car is very rare, compared to other AcceleRacers cars.This car has similarities with the RD-09 car Gelorum seen from design front.
Engine: Mid-Engine 6.5 Litre DOHC.
Power: 400HP
Top Speed: 278 MPH

In 2013, the casting is changed with the front metal piece casted into the body, then after 2014 the rivet post replaced the hook on the chassis at the back.
