NFS World's first Elite Cop Car
18 May 2012, 18:30 • NFSUnlimited
Need For Speed: World players are certainly no strangers to "Elite" cars, mainly due to their special features and out-of-the-ordinary bodykits and paintjobs. So far there is one for each Tier, but now the first-ever Elite Cop Car joins the car list: the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR. With a price tag of 25000 Speedboost, this car is the most expensive of the entire game (alongside the Koenigsegg CCX Elite). However, looking at how exclusive it is, the price surely seems fair.
First introduced in 1999, the ACR model of the Dodge Viper was meant to be a street-legal racing car - after all, ACR stands for "American Club Racing". In 2008, Dodge decided that it was time to add a new type of ACR to their line-up. And the result is impressive. Even though the engine used in the ACR version is the same as the one that comes with the standard SRT-10 (a massive 8.4-liter V10 capable of producing 600 hp), there's nothing standard about the ACR: reduced weight, street-legal racing tyres, two-piece brake rotors, adjustable suspension, aerodynamic upgrades that include a huge rear spoiler to provide more downforce at high speed, custom paintjob, ACR badge, and 20 inch alloy wheels. On 14th September 2011, at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR captured the fastest production car lap record with a time of 7 minutes and 12 seconds.
In addition to this already over-the-top car, this Elite Cop Car comes with a fully functional, roof mounted light bar, a set of large integrated bull bars in the front bumper, red/blue flashers in the front bumper opening, large yellow fog lamps, and a fully functional police siren, along with an exclusive paintjob and bodykit.
Intoducing NFS World's first Elite Cop Car, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR
18 May 2012, 14:15 • NeedforSpeed.com
Sure to please die-hard Viper and road-racing enthusiasts, we present NFS World’s first Elite Cop Car, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR!
The SRT Viper ACR, boasting an 8.4l V10, cranking out 600hp and 560ft lbs of twist in stock trim, has been completely reworked to deal with the high power and high speeds required for pursuits.
The front mount intercooler is visible in the gaping maw of a front bumper while the hood bulge has increased in size to allow for the additional plumbing of a forced induction system. New twin tipped, side exit exhausts have been added to expel the hot gases and spit flame on the over run and a beefed up transmission puts the pursuit power to the ground through the massive rear wheels. There are carbon fiber splitters and winglets on the front bumper and side skirts while front and rear fenders have been extended out to allow the fitment of larger tires/wheels.
The rear diffuser has been modified to include venting for the rear brakes and differential, as well as to allow flow through from beneath the car. The lower section of the rear bumper is in carbon fiber and the steel bumpers in the diffuser are integrated to ward off rear impacts.
For the first time ever, a player will have access to a fully functional, roof mounted light bar. Additional police lighting has been added, with a red flasher in the lower section of the rear bumper. A set of large integrated bull bars has been built into the design of the front bumper, and directly mounted to the chassis for added ramming strength. Furthermore, we’ve added red/blue flashers in the front bumper opening, the bull bars, and the front fenders to alert your perpetrator to your presence. Large yellow fog lamps have also been added to the front fascia for added visibility in poor conditions.
But that’s not all, the interior will feature upgrades as well, such as the police spec laptop!
Bold exterior styling, groundshaking and tire-smoking, this Elite Cop Car simply dominates! Get yours today in the Car Dealer!

0Report: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit devs working on Vita title
17 May 2012, 09:15 • Joystiq
Aside from the bite-sized Burnout Crash launched on XBLA last year, Criterion Games has been rather quiet for the past couple years. The team's last console release was the fantastic Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in 2010, and many expect that the next Need for Speed entry will be handled once again by Criterion. We've yet to hear a peep from the studio in 2012, but E3 isn't too far away.
We contacted Criterion's parent company, EA, for comment.

The Mazda RX7-RZ Returns to Need for Speed World
16 May 2012, 19:15 • NeedforSpeed.com
Originally introduced to Need for Speed World back in September 2011, the Mazda RX7-RZ was only available for a short time before it was retired. But the retirement over and it is available once again!
A little bit of background on the RX-7-RZ; it was solely produced in a right-hand-drive configuration with a 13B-REW Twin-Turbo Double Rotary engine producing 276 horsepower with 231 lb/ft of torque. Additionally, it had lighter weight, custom wheel and an ABS upgrade. This makes it arguably one of the best handling cars ever built!
Head over to the in-game Car Dealer and pick one up because this tier 2 is ready to race!

0Criterion staffing up for Vita title
16 May 2012, 11:30 • Eurogamer newsSeasoned racing game specialist Criterion is working on a new Vita title, according to a recruitment call from the Guildford-based studio.
As spotted by eagle-eyed Twitter detective Superannuation, it's looking to hire a software engineer to join the team "that just delivered the highest rated Need for Speed title yet." Presumably, it's referring to 2010's well-received Hot Pursuit.
The successful candidate will be responsible for "optimising and tuning the game resource system for the PS Vita", "interfacing the game engine with several parts of the Vita OS" and "implementing interoperation between PS3 and the Vita".
Hello NFSW friends!
Today is my last day at EA!
It's been a blast getting to know the community this past year and lots of fun coming up with events and contests for everyone to participate in! As of tomorrow, NFS Drew will be the NFSW Community Manager. Many of you already know him as the Community Manager from Need for Speed. He will be continuing on with the weekly features that I started, such as Mega Monday, Wicked Wednesday, Fan Fridays, Tweet It Up Thursdays and Fun Fridays. He may even have a few more surprises up his sleeve!
Please feel free to forward all your awesome video submissions any any questions to him at drew@needforspeed.com.
Thanks everyone for a memorable year! Keep on racing!

Community Spotlight: Nasrul Muhammad
11 May 2012, 18:00 • NeedforSpeed.com
Our spotlight falls once again on the country of Indonesia! A happy coincidence in scheduling, this player is as passionate a student as he is a hardcore gamer, addicted to racing games like NFS World.
Let's get better acquainted with Nasrul Muhammad from Indonesia!
Tell us about yourself.
Indonesian. Love Desi. Cat addict. Money maker. No chili. Cheese please. Hate dust. Happy Mondays. Vektor jumper. 24 Hour computer online. White car. There's my brief babble. But actually, my name is Nasrul Muhammad. I'm 18 years old and from Pekalongan, Indonesia. My nickname in NFS World is T33J33. I'm a student at one of the leading universities here and I'm majoring in International Accounting. I am a HARDCORE gamer, especially racing, because it's very exciting. Gets my adrenaline pumping.
How long have you been playing NFSW?
I can say that I'm late in playing NFSW, which is about a year ago. But that does not reduce my interest in playing this game. For me, it's never too late when it comes to playing an online game. Moreover, NFSW is a world-class game. And finally, with effort, I have reached the highest level.
What is your favourite car(s) in NFSW?
The first time I played NFSW, I immediately fell in love with the Lexus IS F. Unfortunately, there are not too many people who love this car. I am also pleased with the Pontiac GTO - very, very American Muscle
Your most memorable experience in the game?
I really like the atmosphere of this game. My most memorable moments are getting to know people from around the world. To estatblish communication with them, even if you don't speak the same language. That also gives me a chance to improve my English which helps in preparing for my college final tests.
What do you like most about NFSW?
There is so much to talk about when it comes to NFSW. One is that a lot of people can play this game. Old, young, students, office workers, even my parents, irrespective of status. Everyone can try to be the leader.
What other console or online games do you play?
I have a PSP, PS3, and X-box, which I play on with all my friends. As a child, I also played SEGA, especially SONIC games.
Favourite cars or driving scene in a movie?
Definitely the race between O`Conner and Dom, with the safety deposit box and the Dodge VIPER SRT-8 in Fast Five.
What song or music do you rock out to while playing NFSW?
I like the in-game music, but sometimes, I also liketo listen to The Script and Skillet. It brings out the spirit when it speeding in NFSW.
When you're not playing NFSW, what else are you up to?
I am a student. When there is spare time, I play basketball with friends, head to a cafe or hunt for antiques in secondhand stores. Everything is exciting. Experience, dream, risk, close your cyes and jump! Enjoy the Freefall!
Iron Man or Iron Monkey?
Of course, Iron Man! He possesses powered armour, which gives him superhuman strength, ability to fly and an array of weapons. Like NFSW, we need them all to defeat our enemy.

- Neon Streets - by Dr Houbenheimer
The first of our features this week is a prime example showcasing that you don't necessarily need the latest game to create a stunning ride. '- Neon Streets -' takes us back to the days when Need for Speed Underground 2 was in it's prime; it's your everyday tuner with a little bit of a modern twist: an eye-catching colour-scheme combined with a neat selection of striping to create that 'stand-out' look any tuner should have.
You can leave a comment here:
http://www.nfsunlimited.net/showroom/entry/63082
soft_1 by TeA
'soft_1' from the ProStreet showroom was created by one of the newer tuners on the site - TeA. Speaking from experience, transforming a Lexus from a luxury ride into a head-turning street vehicle is no easy feat, however TeA has pulled this off nicely. A delicious candy-purple base combined with an artistically placed mess of vinyls creates a delicious graffiti/street-art styled design that catches your eye and gets you drooling.

It took a long time, but finally all Need For Speed: World players can enjoy the very first roadster to appear in the game: the second-generation (987) Porsche Boxter Spyder! Created in 1996, the Boxter is Porsche's first road vehicle to be originally designed as a roadster since the Porsche 550 Spyder. The name is a portmanteau of the word "boxer", referring to the vehicle's horizontally opposed or "boxer" engine.
The second-generation Spyder, which was unveiled at the 2009 Los Angeles Motor Show, is powered by a 3.4-liter flat-6 engine capable of producing 320 horsepower at 6700 rpm. Being a light car (1275 kg only), the Boxter Spyder can go from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds. Its firmer suspension and a lower centre of gravity than other Boxster models make the Spyder supremely agile, both on the road and on the track.

Many of our players may now of Kevin Boerma. Not only has he been with NFS World since its Beta stage, he races daily in the game and is a member of World Garage. His love of learning new languages will come in handy when he becomes a globe-trotting photographer one day. It could be then (but hopefully sooner), that he'll get to see the car of his dreams in real life!
Let's get better acquainted with Kevin from Indonesia!
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Kevin Boerma. I'm 16 years old and I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. My driver name in NFSW is NORMALAATSRA, which is also my profile name in World Garage. If anyone noticed, I was one of the winners of a few Tweet it Up contests! I have won 6 prizes, the most recent being the Amazon Gold Starter Pack. Don't worry, I've lost some RT contests and all the other contests NFSW has done, so the contest isn't rigged for me to win!
My motto being: "If you get what you want, it belongs to you. If not, it does not belong to you."
How long have you been playing NFSW?
I've joined NFSW during their Beta stages. I've joined CB5, even though I got no email from NFS or EA about my acceptance! The website just told me to download the Beta! I didn't receive a SpeedBoost code to redeem for World, so I started as a free player with a Nissan Silvia and a Nissan Fairlady Z [Z33]. However when the game was released to the public, I magically received SpeedBoost! I've reviewed every rental car with it and gave my review. I wish rental cars can return! I love to test cars!
What's your favourite car(s) in NFSW?
Anything in my garage to start with. I've highlighted the Golf GTI and Gendarmerie Mégane, which are the best in tackling corners with its FF drivetrain. They must have surpassed 2 Gs! My Donald Duck Aston Martin V12 Vantage cop car that I won through Twitter, recovers quickly with amazing acceleration, after power-sliding around a sharp hairpin corner. The GT-R SpecV is the best Team Escape car! The LFA is a fun car while the Zonda F is a demon. My first favorite muscle car, the Mustang Boss 302 that I won from the 1st Amazon Gold Starter Pack Twitter contest, is my real Gymkhana car. It can do amazing drifts!
Your most memorable experience in the game?
When Team Escape was released, a lot of World Garage members showed up online to test the long awaited pursuit mode. A few of us, including FrozenStar and myself took on Most Wanted. We've rammed others in the rear in case they were slowed down by the cops, and we all stayed together throughout the escape! When we entered Highland Trails in Rosewood, we split up on the dividing routes! It was so cool because we were synchronized so well. It looked like it was from a heist film! When the escape ended, we all spammed the event chat with the word "epic".
What do you like most about NFSW?
NFSW is always in development, so there’s new stuff every day! I hope to see new features and landscapes in the future.
What other console or online games do you play?
Need for Speed World is the only online game I play daily on my Alienware M11x. I also have ProStreet and a copy of The Run. My PlayStation 3 is loaded with titles like Ridge Racer 7, Ridge Racer Unbounded, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Driver San Francisco, Shift 2, Gran Turismo 5, and Midnight Club Los Angeles. Indonesia still has arcades here, so I even play Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, Initial D Arcade Stage and other classics. I also try to branch out from racing games with Mirror's Edge and Portal 2 that I have in my laptop, and also Tekken Tag Tournament 2 in the arcades.
Favourite cars or driving scene in a movie?
The Lexus LFA is my obsession! I have been eyeing this car ever since its first concept version. Ten years had passed and it's still one of the most awesome cars on the planet! I hope to see it one day with my very own eyes. I am also a fan of Cannonball Run, as it had classic humor and lots of racing action throughout!
What song or music do you rock out to while playing NFSW?
I prefer video game music over most of the songs aired on the radio, especially from the legendary Namco Sound Team. They always make the best songs! But I like to anything, really. The genre that takes most of my time on my earphones is trance music, like Above & Beyond.
When you're not playing NFSW, what else are you up to?
I attend art college, studying photography. I enjoy taking photos, as you can see in my Flickr photostream. I hope to make a living as a freelance photographer one day. Other than that, I spend my time learning new languages. Currently, I'm learning French and hoping to resume with Dutch soon. Maybe I will learn Japanese too!
Ethan Hunt or Jason Bourne?
David learns more about himself every time he becomes Jason, so I'd pick Bourne. And who wouldn't be interested in Rashomon-style stories? Even Need for Speed Carbon was told in Rashomon fashion!

The British automaker Lotus is well known by the sports car it produces. Usually very light on weight and with fine handling characteristics, these cars are especially good for track days and motorsports. And now, all Need For Speed: World players can enjoy a new feather weight in the game. After the Elise, the Exige Cup 260 and the Evora, it is now time for the Lotus Europa S to join the car list.
Powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged GM Ecotec engine capable of developing 200 hp @5400 rpm, the Europa S can reach a top speed of 230 km/h, and it goes from zero to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds, mainly due to its low weight: just 995 kilograms. The aluminium chassis with composite body panels sure helped to reduce the weight. Still, this two-seat rear engined sports car was not stripped of things such as air conditioning, sound system or leather interior. Get this Tier 2 lightweight contender on your garage today for 3000 Speedboost.
Coming in at 995kg, this lightweight Lotus Europa S delivers high levels of performance and refinement. The 2.0L turbo engine revs at 200rpm, giving this mid-engine coupe “supercar” levels of acceleration.

After cancelling the second generation Skyline GT-R, due to low demand and a gas crisis at the time, Nissan decided to revive the Skyline brand in 1989. The new generation GT-R had a new chassis, codenamed E-BNR32. This led to the shortened and common name, which is R32. Over the years different models of this Skyline were made available, such as the NISMO Group A Evolution (560 made), the V-Spec (1453), the V-Spec II (1303), and the N1 Race Version (228).
Nicknamed "Godzilla", this Tier 2 monster is now available for $400,000 IGC!

L!meVidia by kostovmilica9
This week our Showroom Car of the Week comes from kostovmilica9, tuner on the site since 2009. ‘KM9’ has quickly developed into one of the Showroom’s elite tuners, displaying a great sense of design in a variety of Need for Speed games. ‘LimeVidia’ is a prime example of his work, combining a flowing vinyl design with a striking black and green colour combination. The spoiler-less body and green lips complete the look, and the car is cleanly presented using a simple but effective background.

0Community Spotlight: Harry Dang
20 April 2012, 17:15 • NeedforSpeed.com
This week, we shine our Community Spotlight on a player who likes to play on the right side of the law. His driver name is 911Police911 and he was the second person in World to organize a police crew called World United Police Department. Not only that, but he gathered some interesting Police facts in World, like one out of every 500 drivers has the Police Vinyls and one out of every 1000 drivers actually make cop cars!
Let's get better acquainted with Harry Dang!
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Harry and my driver name is 911POLICE911. I made my own police crew called World United Police Department. I have a few members in it and i hope it'll grow larger and larger.
How long have you been playing NFSW?
I've been playing World since the Betas, which was a long time ago and had a lot of fun throughout the years. Even when you had to buy the Starter Pack, I had a lot fun cruising around with my Charger Cop Car (but with no Police Vinyls).
What’s your favourite car(s) in NFSW?
Well, that's going to be hard, as I like every car! The Charger is a good heavy car, if you have some pro tuned parts on it. The Muricelago is awesome, a great Tier 3 with a lot of power. For Tier 1, I would say the Scirocco. It's small, compact and packs a big punch.
Your most memorable experience in the game?
That would be when me and my crew members engaged in some cops and robbers fun. I usually get rammed around corners a lot, when I'm a robber.
What do you like most about NFSW?
It would be the multiplayer aspect, where we can talk to people, make friends, and even organize a crew like I did! The new, well not new anymore, Team Escape is always fun! You can escape from the cops with some friends and just push around them around the preset route.
What other console or online games do you play?
I have a PlayStation 3, so i play other fun games such as Midnight Club LA, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed, Gran Turismo 5 and Grid. In most of these games, I usually just have fun with my friends racing around those tracks.
Favourite cars/driving scene in a movie?
My favorite? That's going to be easy! Like everyone else, I love The Fast and the Furious series. My most favorite at the moment will be the third one, Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, where they drift around the city escaping from the 350Z. I also like Gone in 60 Seconds where Nicolas Cage stole the Shelby GT500 (Eleanor) and drove all around town to escape from the cops
What song or music do you rock out to while playing NFSW?
I usually just "rock out" to the game's sound effects, but when I'm really in the mood, I take out my radio and listen to the local radio.
When you’re not playing NFSW, what else are you up to?
I go to school, obviously. I also like drawing cars. I'm the best artist in my class, only I don't draw it like the people who design cars. I just draw them 2-D style. Hahaha.
Jay-Z or Kanye?
I would go with Kanye since one of his best songs is ‘Stronger’, which I listen to when I feel under-powered. If I really need it, I would get out my PSP, which has ‘Stronger’ on it and put it on full blast while I’m playing Team Escape.

Most Wanted 2 in the pipeline?
19 April 2012, 05:45 • NFSUnlimited
It looks like the sequel to one of the most appraised Need For Speed games ever, Most Wanted, is about to see a sequel being released in 2012. South African retailer BT Games, which got famous by revealing Jak and Daxter HD Collection before the official announcement, has done it again by revealing Dead Space 3 and Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2. The news spread like wildfire, and since then both these titles have been pulled off the website.
For those who don't remember, Need For Speed: Most Wanted was launched in 2005. After Underground 1 and 2, cops were back in NFS, along with free roam, tuning, illegal street racing and also exotic machines such as the Porsche Carrera GT, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and the Lamborghini Gallardo, just to name a few. The story took place in Rockport (which is now part of NFS: World). From Most Wanted also came the most popular car of the entire series: the BMW M3 E46 GTR.
Official confirmation on both Dead Space 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2 is not out as of yet, but let's hope BT Games is right again. According to various sources, Criterion Games is indeed developing another entry in the NFS franchise to be released this fall, as usual. On 23rd January 2012, Criterion's creative director, Craig Sullivan, said on Twitter that their studio has "lots to share over the coming months". Sullivan didn't provide any further details, except to say the upcoming announcement is "going to be BIG". If all of this is true, we can probably expect an official announcement at E3 2012, just like Hot Pursuit 2010 was announced back then.
Fingers crossed for Most Wanted 2!

Eurogamer grabbed screens of the Need For Speed Most Wanted 2 posting.

Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T in World + new patch
18 April 2012, 10:00 • NFSUnlimited
The second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse is probably one of the most well-known tuner cars in the world. Its appearance in the movie The Fast and The Furious (2001), driven by Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), catapulted this car to new heights. The heavily modified green Eclipse became famous worldwide, and even though it didn't last long in the movie, Underground and Underground 2 players certainly made a lot of replicas of this car. However, it has been absent from most Need For Speed games, being only available in Carbon through hex editing. But now, a new, Elite version of this car is available in Need For Speed: World!
Built by Mitsubishi between 1995 and 1999, the second-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse (G2) was available in many different trims, ranging from the base FWD model to the AWD GSX model with turbocharged engine (convertible versions were also available). For 8500 Speedboost World players can now add yet another "Elite" car to their garage: the Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Elite. This hardtop FWD model is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC Mitsubishi 4G63 engine, which produces 210 hp, and a manual 5 speed gearbox. This gives the Eclipse a lot of power, considering it weighs about 1300 kg.
Being an Elite car, this Eclipse features a fully custom bodykit that cannot be found anywhere else. The roof, pillars and rear hatch were replaced with carbon fibre; new LED driving lamps were added; there is a large transparent panel in the hood to show the highly tuned engine; carbon fibre splitters, side skirts and rear wing; custom wheels and paintjob; custom ELITE license plate and a full set of Race Tuned performance parts. And if that is not enough, a new feature was introduced alongside this car: if you press "K" while in the game you can trigger two massive sub-woofers placed in the trunk, and let everyone know how cool you are.
After the Tier 3 Koenigsegg CCX Elite and the Tier 2 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Elite, Tier 1 players can now enjoy the Mitusbishi Eclipse GS-T Elite. Get your today!
---------------
In other news, a new patch was deployed yesterday (17th April) and brought the game to version 8.74.
New features:
- An all new 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse (Elite) has been added to the game and is available for purchase from the Car Dealer.
- Exclusive to the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse (Elite), an aftermarket sound system can be activated by pressing the "K" key
Bug Fixes/Changes:
- Fixed an issue that caused the client to crash when viewing certain Driver Profiles.
- Fixed an issue with the Porsche 911 GT2's wheel geometry.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T was a great looking FWD sport compact from the 90’s. Making 210hp in stock trim is great, but our “Elite” Eclipse is outfitted with race parts to gain you some extra ponies.
This fully custom model has had the roof, pillars and rear hatch replaced with carbon fibre. The new and aggressive front fascia, which also incorporates a carbon fibre center element framing the custom built intercooler, features new LED driving lamps. If that is not enough carbon fibre for you, there are also carbon fibre splitters at the front bumper, as well as along the side skirts, leading to an oversized carbon rear diffuser. All of these custom parts nicely reduce the overall weight, which directly translates into precise handling!
Have you ever wanted to show off your engine? Now you can, as this fully custom “Elite” features a large transparent panel in your hood, exposing the highly tuned engine and its compartment.
Probably one of the coolest car features ever introduced into NFS World, owners of this “Elite” will be able to press “K” on their keyboard to trigger two massive sub-woofers placed in the trunk! You can press “K” and listen to your custom beat while racing, or simply park your ride and play your beats while chatting and gathering with your friends!
Add this massively unique Tier 1 “Elite” to your garage! Now available in the Car Dealer!

0Community Spotlight: Adiran Fernado Noya
13 April 2012, 18:15 • NeedforSpeed.com
NFS World’s core demographic may be aged 12-24, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the game if you’re outside this age range. As proven by this player, at a youthful 51 years of age, he’s been a NFSW fan since summer 2010 and has over 60 cars in his safehouse. Let’s get better acquainted with Adrian Fernando Noya from Argentina!
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Adrian Fernando Noya and I live in Argentina. I love to listen music. My first encounter with really good music was The Beatles. I really love to say that they helped me to read, write and speak English. I love to watch movies, play PC games, ride horses and motorcycles, as well as drive cars.
How long have you been playing NFSW?
May or June 2010. I got the starter pack and reached level 11 right away.

My Z4 GT3, but i love all my cars. I have 63 on one profile and 19 free slots for cars. That’s my VIP account, HIGHWAYSTAR69. I have 3 more cars on each of my 2 other profiles and 2 free slots on each driver in the same account.
Your most memorable experience in the game?
It was when I beat a hacker using traffic magnets on the Rosewood Park Loop circuit. I think that particular hacker was using a speedhack. I couldn’t reach him with my pro-parted BMW Z4 GT3 and I activated all of my traffic magnets and added one more lap to see the hacker crash into the walls.
What do you like most about NFSW?
The friends you make! I have 90 friends on my friend list and they’re from all around the world.
What other console or online games do you play?
I don’t play console games anymore, ever since DREAMCAST short life , but I do play Team Fortress 2 and Gotham City Impostors. I’ve been playing PC Games since 1986.
Favourite cars or driving scene in a movie?
Fast and Furious, for sure. Favourite car is Eleanor, the Ford Mustang Shelby from Gone in 60 Seconds. Any of those classic cars that we see in pursuit scene in movies.
What song or music do you rock out to while playing NFSW?
School by SuperTramp, Dynamite by Taio Cruz, Let It Whip by Dazz Band, Issues by Escape the Fate or Higher by Taio Cruz.
When you’re not playing NFSW, what else are you up to?
I like to play BAL (Be a Legend) in PES 2011.
Italian Job (1969) or Italian Job (2003)?
I love Mini Coopers, the older ones and the new ones. Sorry, I missed out on watching the 1969 Italian Job, so I’ll choose the 2003 remake!

0Porsche 911 (996) GT2 in World
13 April 2012, 18:15 • NFSUnlimited
The Porsche 911 GT2 is known by fans as the high performance version of the Porsche 911 Turbo. Despite being based on this car, the GT2 features numerous upgrades, including engine upgrades, larger brakes, stiffer suspension, rear-wheel drive, and less weight due to the removal of certain interior components.
Now, Need For Speed: World players can get their hands on the Tier 3 Porsche 911 (996) GT2, which was launched in 1999 to replace the ageing 993 GT2. This new GT2 featured a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter H6 engine that provided an output of 483 hp @5700 rpm. A 6-speed manual transmission, top speed of 319 km/h and 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds make the 996 GT2 a beast to behold. To be able to achieve this the body differed significantly from other 996 Porsches: major differences included wider fenders, a more aggressively shaped nose, and a large rear wing. If you a are a Porsche fan you definitely have to spend 5000 Speedboost and get this race-breed sports car!

0Iconic Sports Car Is Now A Cop Car!
13 April 2012, 16:45 • NeedforSpeed.com
In the tradition that befits Swedish police cars, the white body is adorned with a blue and high visibility yellow livery and outfitted with a “Euro” styled license plate that says “P0L1S” (Swedish “Police”). Perched on the nose are a set of bull bars to allow for a bit of persuasion. The widened track and large BBS wheels make for a daunting presence when you catch this cop car in your rear view.
The car number, A80, pays tribute to the chassis code that underpins the MK IV Toyota Supra. The 2JZ-GTE engine is a sequentially turbo charged 3.0l straight six. This hallowed engine makes around 320hp in stock trim. It’s not uncommon to see massive amounts of power extracted from this engine in aftermarket trim.
This is another example of an iconic car that just had its performance upgraded by the development team, with more power and upgraded suspension! Now available for Top Up!

Variety says that Paramount is the current leading potential financier, but EA is still open to other bidders. If EA ends up securing funds for the Need for Speed film, we wonder which game the movie would be based on? The most recent franchise entry, Need for Speed: The Run? How about Need for Speed: Undercover? It already has Maggie Q in it and we're pretty sure she was in a movie once.

Burnout Crash - available now for iPhone and iPad
12 April 2012, 05:15 • NeedforSpeed.com
We interrupt your regular Need for Speed transmission to bring you vital news straight from the team at Criterion Games:
Burnout Crash is now available on iTunes.
If you're not familiar with Crash, it's a wicked little iPhone and iPad game inspired by our original Crash Mode from Burnout 2.
It takes its cues from old coin-op arcade games, pinball and of course plenty of Burnout.
Burnout fans - you know the drill: Launch a car at a busy intersection. Smash it into the traffic and watch the action escalate. This time, you can move the car around with touch and swipe controls to keep the action going and rack up massive scores.
We wanted to concentrate on pure fun - amazing scoring, insane, over-the-top action and sweet 80s pop music make this the wildest Crash ever.
For the first time, you'll experience tornadoes, UFOs, giant blue lobsters (of course), the Pizza of Fortune, ice-cream van and lots more. It's a no-holds-barred extravaganza of destruction.
We built three game modes: Rush Hour, Road Block and Pile Up. They all offer a different spin on smashing cars up with against-the-clock, 5-lives and time-extend gameplay.
It wouldn't be a Criterion Games game without Autolog featured strongly. We thought it would be fun to share gameplay with friends. You fire up a push challenge, rack up the biggest score you can, then send it to a friend. They get one chance to beat your score and send it back.
Simple, easy, fun.
And with 54 levels, 6 areas, 7 awesome vehicles and hours of fun for just $4.99, you can't go wrong.
