The Car Of The Day is back on the official website, this time for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and the first car taking the spot is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Check it out here.
They've also put up a page that lists the cars in the game and the side (Copy/Racers) they will be available to. Currently it's a small list, but new cars should be added once they're announced. See it here.

Audi TT RS Coupe
Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Chevrolet Camaro SS
Dodge Challenger SRT8
Dodge Viper SRT10
Ford Shelby GT500
Koenigsegg CCX

Nice carlist, seems like we will get mostly exotics and some new muscle cars too...

I hope there will be some older exotics like Diablo SV or Countach... I wouldn't mind some older Porsche 911's too.




Ah, where is that GT3? i think its a confirmed car for sure, they had screenshots, gameplay with it showing the Autolog system...
And its even on the screenshot with police Viper.

ok something i dont get, i was looking at the carlist and it has a blue dot indicating its a racer or if it is or isnt a cop, but some cars like the reventon and viper are only cop cars, i dont get why they do that?

also i was looking at all the cars in detailed and noticed u can see the interior of the cars, and if you look u can tell that the interior of each car is different

Wait I thought they said there were only be exotics and muscles what is a Nissan GT-R doing in there because last time i checked that a tuner not an exotic or muscle.

I also didn't get why they are doing this. Not all cars should be cop cars, but all of them should be available as racers, because that's the "real life" version of the car after all.

Also the cop cars seem a bit too exotic. I mean, a Bugatti Veyron? A Mercedes SLS AMG? An Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione? A Reventón? :roll: I was expecting not so good cars to go after the racers. The occasional Lamborghini could be called for some hot pursuit, but other cars such as BMWs or Porsches or Fords should be cops. Less exotic, more affordable cars so to speak.

There are also mistakes in EA's list, for example the Koenigsegg is shown as Cop car only, but if you go to its page, the picture shows the road car, not the cop car.

Anyway, the car list on the Wiki is on. If you have ideas to improve, do it. :)

Just because a car is Japanese doesn't mean it can't be considered an exotic. The GT-R Spec V can do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, making it a fully competent supercar and faster than most exotics. I certainly welcome it into the game, can't be ALL European supercars and American muscle cars. I just don't wanna see a Civic, Eclipse, etc. in Hot Pursuit. I'd also like to see an Evo and WRX STi myself, two classic Japanese sports cars.

My thoughts exactly. If I remember correctly, you can't even use the Viper as a racer... WTF? And yeah, I think they put too many exotics as cops. Like you said, the occasional Lambo would be cool, but I think this is just a little too much. Eh, I guess it'll still be really cool, just not quite so realistic. Not that four $2,000,000 Bugatti Veyron 16.4's all street racing together is realistic either.

I too feel that it's overkill to have too many exotic cop cars chasing you. It's like a exotic car battle if anyone saw the latest gameplay vid with the GT3 RS. At least I hope they make the Cayman, Panamera, Shelby GT500 cop cars be the the main pursuers (still think it's overkill), and then have the head honcho cop car come in if need be, like the Zonda, Bugatti, and Reventon. I still wish they'd include normal cars like the Crown Vic.

But remember guys, there will be a full career mode as a cop, so having a wide range of cop cars to choose from should be expected. Just wish they didn't all chase you at once.

@ Anyone doubting the R35

Its as much an exotic as any Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche. Just that its a Nissan instead.
Imho if the car has really good performance like this, there's nothing wrong with including it in game.

Ive looked at the list, I seems the cars are in Alphabetical order (including the places with the question marks). Its abit disapointing to know that it looks like Ferrari isnt on the list yet again (unless the 3 gap between the Shelby GT500 and the CCX will include a ferrari in it).
I hope cars like the Stirling Moss, Maserati GranTurismo S, Aston Martin One-77, Corvette Stingray (Concept), lamborghini miura (concept - one can dream it goes between the Gallardo and Murcielago)and the F1 would be on the list.
I also dont mind the R35 being on the list, one could hope the LFA will make it too (more japanese exotics).

We choose the time to start, then let the time of day cycle. In Free Drive, it just cycles through. We have enough to control so we can say that this event's going to be about chasing this black car at night - it's harder, he can turn his lights off and try to hide from you."

i do as well, but i understand the reasoning. they're trying to make it person vs. person as much as possible. or at least let you have a full experience on both sides. so instead of having the players mostly doing the racing and the cops being the AI, the focus is on the player doing both (if it's singleplayer... multiplayer is obvious). also, a reason to have a lot of top-end cops is because there are a lot of top-end racers, but they're not always quite the same level - you need cops corresponding to each of the racers' speeds. remember, according to the interviews the police are meant to be faster than the racers.
as a result, they're putting 'exclusive' cars on each side to try to encourage players to try both and get the most out of the game.
THAT BEING SAID, if they're gonna have that many options for cop cars, i'm of the opinion that it'd just be better to have all the cars as both cop and racer, with the occasional exception due to liscencing issues. so you get the max amount of options while playing.

i think the variety in tracks will make or break the game. also it'd be nice to have a good amount of actual races w/o chases
ferrari would be nice, but I am not sure it would happen.
and to those who think the Nissan GT-R is a tuner: get your heads out your asses! :P

damn i wish i had a next-gen console...
i have nothing more to add

That's all I have to say. Day and night cycle? Rain? A great list of just top notch exotic cars? Cops? Destruction? Huge setting with exotic vistas? Nice graphics (so far)? I just need to listen to the OST to be sure this Hot Pursuit will be one heck of a game!

It sounds really epic. I don't like to get all hyped with a new NFS game, but this one, seriously, it sounds so firetruck cool! I can't wait... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Here's a shot taken in front of Criterion's Guildford studio showing what we're pretty sure is a green Peugeot 106.

Unfortunately, some guy's got right in the way in a Porsche Carrera GT, but you can still clearly make out the Peugeot's awe-inspiring silhouette and the bespoke plastic hub caps.
and
Cop Ford Shelby GT500 as featured in Criterion's upcoming Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.
(2009 Ford Transit not yet confirmed. Maybe DLC?)
Haha great. :mrgreen:

@Danyutz: The Challenger SRT8 was already revealed before. :)

I guess Criterion instead of just going for Exotics + some Muscle cars, went for lots of quality cars.

So i suppose we will see Old and new exotics, modern muscle cars....what else could fit in? If anything, maybe some of the best performance-wise tuners.

Damn you're a source of news. Great job noticing those cars in the licensing thing. =D> I'll add them to the Wiki as unofficial cars.

Hello. I have another car to the Carlist. It is an old interview, on the E3 event in June, but there is information about Aston Martin One-77 8) :
http://www.incgamers.com/Interviews/283 ... -interview

"Aston Martin 177, Which is the Aston Martin's take on the Bugatti Veyron. So as a cop or a racer, Bugatti Vs. Aston Martin it's going to be a pretty epic battle. It's Aston Martin's first hypercar basically."
