Description[]
Personalized for Rouge in particular, the default Lip Spyder is a sleeper-styled sports car also named after the "Spyder" AKA Roadster-line of sports cars.
In terms of its paint job, it is mostly white and pink with accentuations in black. It features light blue headlights and lines at the front, the back, and side mirrors, similar to Rouge’s eyeshadow. It also features a gray front grille, a pink top behind the seat, and a white and pink steering wheel; all three of these components are heart-shaped in order to match the heart-motif on Rouge's outfit. The wheels have white casings with black five-pointed stars, each one having a pink center with a light blue outlining. Lastly, it possesses six red hind lights.

In Team Sonic Racing, the Lip Spyder appears as Rouge's race car, specially created by Dodon Pa for Rouge. During the events of the game, the Lip Spyder was one of the cars Dodon Pa gave Rouge and her friends so they could compete in his Grand Prix competition. Rouge would afterward use it during the races and challenges she participated in. However, the Lip Spyder was eventually destroyed when the heroes had to leave it aboard the crashing Final Fortress. Fortunately, Dodon Pa promised to replace it with a new one.
In this game, the Lip Spyder's basic statistics show it has high acceleration and handling with moderate defense, but also has average top speed with only a slightly below standard boost. However, its statistics, as well as its artistic design, can be modified by replacing its parts.
