The Proto-08 is a seasonal vehicle in Jailbreak. Modeled by SpeedQue3n[1], it was featured as the grand prize of Season 14: For The Champions.
The vehicle was obtained by reaching Level 10 through Contracts. It could've been found at the Season Hypezone during Season 14: For The Champions.
Overview
The Proto-08 is based on the Porsche Mission R.[2] It is an electric vehicle, just like the previous seasonal Porsche, the Icebreaker.
The car received mixed feedback shortly after its official announcement. Part of it was about the execution of nomination, while others were hoping for the Parisian to be picked as the grand prize, which was later announced, and released, as a separate now-unobtainable limited-time-vehicle.[3]
Performance
The Proto-08's performance is phenomenal for a seasonal car. It is well known for having a rivalry with the Roadster, boasting slightly slower acceleration, launch, and top speed than the latter, but far exceeding it's reverse speed and handling. Its acceleration to top speed takes about 10 seconds, which is one of the fastest acceleration times of all land vehicles.
The Proto-08's role, much like the Roadster, is to be an extremely agile vehicle in terms of short to mid-range distances. Infact, it's increased turning radius of 1.68 allows it to take sharp turns and catch up to cars far quicker than it, which makes it one of the best to get around robberies in quick succession for Criminals, or hunt down Criminals as Police.
However, the Proto-08 pales when it comes to long distances. After a bit of time, it is ultimately rendered helpless against faster vehicles such as the Successor or Eclaire, both of which can exceed its top speed in a very short period of time, which means the Proto-08 has to act quickly to catch criminals in faster acceleration oriented vehicles. It's off-roading, while slightly improved over the Roadster's, is still quite poor compared to other vehicles, as it can catch even the slightest bumps.
Overall, the Proto-08 is a really good seasonal vehicle.

| The Proto-08 has a top speed of about 209 MPH, beating out the Icebreaker. It barely beats the Rattler by 2 MPH and is barely behind the NASCAR. It loses to the Roadster and Volt, | The Proto-08's reverse speed caps around 72 MPH, easily beating the Roadster's 44 MPH, it ties with the other seasonal electric car, the Icebreaker. |
Launch
  |
Acceleration
  |
| The Proto-08 has a very powerful launch, closely following that of the Beignet and beating out most supercars in-game. It can reach 69 MPH in second. Comparable to the Eclaire. | The Proto-08 has a phenomenal acceleration barely losing to that of the Roadster, and acceleration to top speed takes about 10 seconds on a level road surface. |
| Handling
|
Off-roading
  |
| The Proto-08 has a turning radius of 1.68, which is comparable to the Roadster, Snake, and Beignet, which is really good. | The Proto-08 has impressive climbing ability paired with improved ground clearance over the Roadster, but the car's front lip can get caught on low objects such as high curbs and train tracks. This can be remedied by using a higher suspension. Comparable to the Revox. |
| Braking
|
Durability
  |
| The Proto-08's brakes stop the car nearly instantly, matching the Roadster and as such making it one of Jailbreak's best. | The Proto-08 has an HP of 75 and a disable duration of 7.5 seconds. It ties with the Roadster, but loses to the Icebreaker and Model 3. |

Trivia
- According to SpeedQue3n, the vehicle's name was thought of as a homage to the Jailbreak content creator, phindr, who had previously quit at the time, but came back shortly after the season started. The number (08) was also chosen as it is his lucky number.[4]
- This was the first vehicle added to Jailbreak in 2023.
- asimo3089 manually gave the Proto-08 to several players before anyone could reach Level 10, including: SpeedQue3n (the Proto-08's modeler), DatBrian, phindr, and HelloItsVG, the latter three being Jailbreak content creators, as well as a few others.
- The Proto-08 had a unique drift smoke effect on release, which was shared with the Parisian.
- This drift effect was later released ("Performance" drift customization) and now available for
25,000.
- This drift effect was later released ("Performance" drift customization) and now available for
- Just like many other vehicles, when driving the Proto-08 in reverse onto a steep slope or building, it will go up or even reach the top.
- This is considered normal for Jailbreak's physics, since vehicles usually have a higher ground clearance at the rear than at the front.
- The Proto-08 is referenced by several vehicles that came after it, with an "08 Motors" logo appearing in some fashion on them.
- These vehicles, being the Shogun, Power-1, Longhorn, Successor, and Carbonara, were all modeled by creators other than SpeedQue3n, and the vehicles they are based off of in real life are all made by different companies. This implies there is some other significance to the brand.
- The number "02" is present in the same font as the "08 Motors" logo on the Oil Rig robbery, which may imply that "08 Motors" is one of many branches of a larger conglomerate, with this "02" company being an oil company.
- Furthermore, the Oil Rig is owned by the CEO, who also canonically owns the Successor, Carbonara, and Scorpion, three vehicles which have "08 Motors" branding, showing even more of a connection between them.
