But one question. What will be the ultimate exotic car?
I think is Porsche Carerra GT and you?

Lamborghini Murcielago (if it's on the list, I don't know the list out of my head).

Also, your friend who helps you out of Cross's hand drives an R8. Sounds eerily like EA to include a plot twist where you're battling your own friend in the canyons.

sounds like it, like in U1 where you race Samatha

You brought up quite a good topic to think about... why is Alfa Romeo in the game yet there are no Ferraris even though both are owned by Fiat?

And as for the most powerful exotic car... I'm guessing Koenigsegg CCX if it is not just a bonus car, otherwise the R8.

Strange, beacause in the others versions of the NFS had a Ferrari car, but for the lastest versions don't.

And someone know about the Nissan 180SX?

as many have said, the most likely reason is that Ferrari wants to stay away from illegal chases/knocking cops out and getting the car banged up.

and although both Alfa Romeo and Ferrari are owned by FIAT, Ferrari is ran almost independently--and also its the difference of the classes you know (i mean classes in real life, not in carbon)

But on Hot Pursuit 2 you got a Modena Spider and F50 and you got on chases and getting banged out and so... I think maybe Ferrari had some other problems with EA instead of Ferrari didn't like to put a car on ilegal street racing...

There's a whole thread devoted to the question of Ferraries in NFS games. I'm sure we don't need two discussions going on about it.

Why does everyone think that the Audi R8 will be the most powerfull car??
The R8 has a 430 bhp V8 that's almost half the power of what the CCX has.

The Audi R8 has less horsepower and a smaller engine then the Lamborghini Gallardo.
And there is a reason for it.
Lamborghini is owned by Audi and because it is the racecar brand of the group, they can not make a Audi be faster then a Lamborghini. simple company policy.
And the price of the audi is also alot lower then that of the Gallardo, if not mistaken the R8 will be around 146.000 euro, still not cheap for a Audi.

I'm not saying it is a slow car or anything, I haven't seen the track specs so I don't know, but I do know that the engine is basicly a RS4 engine with some enhancements to makle it more powerfull.

W-wait a sec. The 06 Koenigsegg CCX it will be a bonus car or a carrer car?

The production version of the Audi R8 will come with 2 engine options. The standard RS4 V8 and with the V10 Gallardo engine.

I was just wondering, all this with 3 different class's

Once you start with one class are u stuck with it? like if u start with tuner u have to play the with tuners? same muscle and exotic?
the idea seems cool....but a bit wasted if you cant swap between class's

i could be wrong of course....

The PC demo is NOT ready. Smoothie said it is ALMOST ready and that it will be released close to the game's ship date (near the date when it goes gold)...there is a big difference between what you said and what Smoothie said...

Is that i read in NFS-Planet, but the reason I don't know.

Porsche-AG · Post by **Porsche-AG** » 14 Oct 2006, 20:29

EA is more trustable than NFS-Planet... EA is the one who made the game...
