CandiedSkull once again gives you:
 
The Only Vehicle Guide you'll ever need for
 
 
In this guide you will find all of the vehicles available in Burnout Paradise along with their stats and images of the car. Where necessary I will also tell you how each vehicle is unlocked or how to obtain it. On most vehicles, once you obtain it, you can change its paint scheme. For the purposes of this site all vehicles are shown in the default scheme you are given when you obtain the vehicle with the exception of the examples of the gold and platinum cars. Do not write to me and complain about these cars and how they perform. I didn't make 'em, I'm just showing you what you get. This list will be updated with newer vehicles upon their availability as DLC.
ALL of the cars available in Burnout Paradise are listed here on this main page, but if you'd like to search for a car by one of the categories below, click the button and you will see only those cars. If you would like to see what some of the cars look like with the Gold or Platinum paint click on the "Gold/Platinum" button to see a handful of cars with that paint scheme.

In an attempt to keep this list as easy to follow as possible, I'll first list the cars in as close to their order of appearance as possible. Depending on how you play the game, this will of course vary from when they appear in your game. Click on the images or the name to get larger images, stats, descriptions and the method of unlock. Going from left to right in the junkyard screen, the cars appear in this order:

(The vehicles class is represented in parenthesis. A = Aggression Class, St = Stunt Class, Sp = Speed Class)
