January's Need For Speed: World in-game cash car is finally out! The Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 can now be yours without using real world money (aka Speedboost) to buy it.
Quote:
Exotic fans get ready. 640HP combined with an AWD setup that distributes 70% of torque to the rear axle under most conditions makes this Big Bull an extreme ride. Not only does this car look the part, it drives like a true exotic should and challenges any in its class.
Could the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 be the car that dethrones the BMW GTR E46 in Need for Speed World free to play racing game? Put it through its paces and decide for yourself. The Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 is now available for in-game cash!
To all Need For Speed: World players, be aware that the game's servers will be shut down today (24th January), from 2pm to 6pm PST (that is from 22:00 GMT today to 02:00 GMT tomorrow).
The shutdown time will allow the team to deploy a new patch. Here are the changes.
- The Pagani Zonda F has been re-released and is available for purchase from the Car Dealer;
- Improvements to the client’s stability have been made;
- Free Roam keyboard shortcuts are now disabled when navigating to the SpeedBoost store from the News Feed.
After making an appearance in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010 as DLC (exclusive to consoles), and more recently in Need For Speed: The Run (PS3 exclusive), it is time for PC players to finally get their hands on the mythic Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV! For 4500 Speedboost you can get this piece of Italian art in your garage, along with 7-day Car Insurance and 10-day Rep-and-Cash Amplifiers.
The Lamborghini Countach was a supercar produced between 1974 and 1990. Its aggressive look and shape made it worldwide famous and still today the Countach can turn any car enthusiast's neck around to look at it! The Countach 5000 QV (QV stands for quattrovalvove in Italian and it means "four valves") was created in 1985 and was one of the last versions of this Lamborghini produced. 676 QVs were made, making it the most produced model of the Countach. It bore a 5.2-liter V12 engine, the most powerful engine in a Countach. In 1990 the Countach was succeeded by the Lamborghini Diablo, after being in production for 16 years.
In 2004, American car magazine Sports Car International named this car number three on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1970s, and it was listed as number ten on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.
This Lamborghini is certainly the "star of the week", but let us not forget some other cars that were released this week (all Speedboost only): Porsche 911 Carrera S, Toyota MR-2, Lexus LFA and a special tuned version of the Nissan 200SX.
Welcome to the WORLD Five Elements Challenge. This Challenge is all about creating a car based around one of the five elements. Use the bodywork along with vinyls to create something that represents one of the following elements: fire, water, air, earth and metal. Please remember to read the rules carefully, and sign up, challenge yourself and support the tuners by watching this challenge! All of this can be done by heading over to the challenge page.
With this competition, we will be giving away 10 codes for the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, courtesy of our friends over at EA. The creators of the top 3 entries will each receive a code for the Alfa, with the remaining 7 distributed randomly to users who complete the voting tour.
Additionally, please try and get your entry uploaded before the 26th of January - we have to accept the entries into the competition system and sometimes we don't always have time to accept last minute entries. Thank you.
For your convenience, we have also created a video on how to enter competitions on NFSUnlimited:

World new patch, another Facebook milestone and a gift!
It's been a busy week for the developers of NFS World. After some emergency maintenance during the past couple of days, during which the game was quite unstable, things seem to be back to normal. The first patch of 2012 was released, players have reached yet another milestone on Facebook and there's a new gift for the entire community to be announced very soon!
Patch (January 10th:)
- Improvements to the client’s stability have been made;
- Players are no longer sent to the same chat channel upon entering Free Roam;
- Players will now receive the correct car when purchasing the Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake "The Run edition" web deal;
- The Porsche 911 Carrera S was added to the car lot for 5500 Speedboost.
Facebook milestone:
The official NFS World page on Facebook has reached more than 100 000 likes, and to commemorate, EA is going to give the whole community a new gift! No details were given about the gift, but it is probably a rental car for free or some Speedboost. Due to the problems with the game in the past days, maybe they decided to start the year by giving everyone a car for free. At the moment we can only guess, so check back tomorrow to see what's the gift.
UPDATE: The gift was announced and, as expected, it is an universal code that will give every player in World 750 Speedboost for free. The code will expire on 17th January at 12:00 AM GMT, so be sure to redeem yours as quickly as possible. Here is the code: EWPD-3KGA-VBVF-9HYS (thanks honke).
Our Need for Speed World Find the Spot competition is now finished! We had some issues with our server not being used to serving as many people that came to compete tonight, but fortunately we helped ourselves by also posting the screenshots on our Facebook page. I apologize if you could not access the site during the event and I promise we will address this issue the next time we have a competition like this.
Winners will be posted on the competition page and notified by email. It might take a while as we received several thousand emails and we need to figure out who exactly was first.
If you're wondering where the spots were, we posted all their locations on the competition page.
We also gave out an extra Snowflake code to the person who found our car hidden in Need for Speed World. Check out the location below:
In order to make the work of the Showroom Moderators and Administrators a bit easier, I have created the following tutorial on how to upload to the showroom correctly. We would greatly appreciate it if you please watch this video tutorial it and refamiliarise yourself on the correct way to upload to the showroom (particularly in regard to additional images*).
This video has also been embedded on the uploading page for your convenience. I have also attached an extract from a Showroom Insider article (Issue #54) in the first comment for a text and image based tutorial experience.
In the past, some of you may have recieved this message from me in the past as a notification of a duplicate showroom entry**:
Quote:
Hi [username], in future please use the "Add additional views [+]" option located underneath the picture of your upload to add additional view to your Showroom Entry, instead of uploading multiple images of the same car to the Showroom. Don't worry it's an honest mistake, I made it too with my first days on the site.
This message would be sent to your entry's comments and your profile shoutbox in past, however that has proved to be very time consuming for me and the other Showroom Moderators to deliver. Along with that we have to go and delete each duplicate entry to tidy up the showroom. This is an issue that has been cropping up in the Showroom, particularly in the Need for Speed WORLD Showroom.
I'm probably coming off to everyone as they cranky Administrator from what I've said in this post, but this is an issue relating to making the site as user-friendly as possible to both the uploaders and the viewers of entries; the absensce of duplicate entries will make it easier for users to navigate the showroom. On that topic, if you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve the showroom, please post them in our Site Revamp/Improvents - Feedback, Suggestions, Ideas, etc. forum topic.
Thank you.
