Appendices

The car list in The Need for Speed is divided into three classes with each representing different performance brackets such as speed and handling. It is impossible to customize the cars in any way. Players also have access to a showcase mode for each car. There the player can view general, historical, mechanical, and performance information as well as a slideshow and a short video presentation of each car. The information screens are all commented by an announcer.

Class A[edit]

Lamborghini Diablo VT
Ferrari 512TR

Class B[edit]

Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
Dodge Viper RT/10
Porsche 911 Carrera (993)

Class C[edit]

Acura NSX
Mazda RX-7
Toyota Supra

The Need for Speed also features a fictional bonus car called "Warrior PTO E/2" that has high top speed, acceleration, and handling statistics (it has similar top speed and acceleration as the Bugatti Veyron EB16.4 Super Sport). It has mixed parts from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 and the Lamborghini Diablo. Also notable is the horn sound.

Police Vehicles[edit]

The sole police vehicle only chases the player in Head to Head mode and only if the player is driving over the speed limit or if the player rams the police vehicle at high speed.

Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Highway Patrol

Traffic Vehicles[edit]

The Need for Speed features licensed traffic vehicles. After Need for Speed: High Stakes, no licensed vehicles where in the Need for Speed series until the relase of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010). Traffic vehicles only appear in Head to Head mode.
