The ND-D1 is a vehicle in Crash of Cars.
It demonstrates the true art of drifting while burning rubber, leaving other racers in the dust.

Special Properties[]
Tapping the brakes while turning makes the ND-D1 initiate a controlled drift, gaining bonuses to acceleration, handling and top speed. The player can control the angle of the drift and the car will continue drifting until the vehicle hits an obstacle (such as static map scenery and other vehicles) or turns in the opposite direction.
Strategies []
The ND-D1 requires a totally different play-style, even from players who main drift cars. This is primarily because braking while in a turn will initiate its drift. The car also has a wider turn radius than most drift cars due to the increased speed. Players using the car for the first time should be wary as the car will drift in a straight line, which can be awkward to handle due to the drift system. The drifting mechanic does open up a lot of new options since it increases the speed and acceleration of the vehicle and allows it to escape from tight spots or from being boxed in by multiple enemies and do quick maneuvers like Hit N run to a new level. The drift also allows the side cannon to be used as either a front cannon for offense or rear cannon for defense depending on the direction of the drift and player choice.
Despite this, the car is very light and will suffer considerable knock-back when hit with melee weapons or the heavier cars, so it is inadvisable to enter extended brawls with a lot of players nearby. All these mechanics make the ND-D1 an alternative choice to the Grand Veloce.

Trivia[]
- Generally, drifting will lower the vehicle's velocity over time. It is unknown why the ND-D1 moves faster when drifting, but it can do so at will.
- When the drifting ability is in play, ND-D1 drags two smoke trails, similar to Wind Up. Audio from screeching tires are also heard.
- The vehicle was first teased in 2020 March 27, with its fusion composites displayed (aside from the Wheel, which wasn't released at that time).
- This car is primarily based on two Nissan Models.
- Front part resembles a modified Nissan Silvia S15 while the rear resembles a modified Nissan 180SX.
- Negative camber is also present on the wheels, like the real life drift cars.
- Negative Camber is defined as the vehicle's wheels' topside tilting inwards relative to the wheel axle. This is usually done to maximize tyre contact with driving surfaces, which is referenced in-game with its drifting ability.
- It is so far the only vehicle with any sort of camber adjustment.
- Its livery is loosely based on the hero skyline from the NFS Underground games (The one that appears in the tutorials and was destroyed in the opening movie of Underground 2)
- In addition to this, the vehicle's body decal appear to contain the insignia of Not Doppler's, similar to real-life stock cars with sponsorship liveries.
Changes in Updates[]
- The ND-D1 was introduced in the Sweetfields Update.
