You've just proved my point...170 grand for a Nissan Skyline?! Are they out of their minds? Hardly worth the money...

It beats a 200,000+ Ferrari. So yeah definetely good value for money.

How would you know? Just because it has a lot of brake horsepower?

The Skyline sadly has a big ricer following, but that does not take away that it is a very good car,
Stylewise it is not a Lamborghini or a Ferarri, it is just a pumped up Sedan. but that doesn't make the specs less impressive.

The car does have a legacy wich dates back well before FnF and the likes.

The car won countless races in Japan and Austalia, it was even banned for the Australian touringcar races because it was firtually unbeateble. (they changed the rules so the car could not race anymore)
Real carfans know the car and know that the skyline is capable of high performance.
The car also set several records in the past.

Carshows like Top Gear and The Fifth Gear preased the car for what it can do.
Top Gear called it: "The only True Supercar from the land of the Rising sun (japan for those who didn't know

)

Yeah it is overpriced, but that is pure because of the demand/availebility of it.

For most it is not the most beautiful car, but say what you want the specs of car are impressive, and I am not talking about BHP. but what it can do on the track. and you need more then just horsepower to get around a track fast.
The suspension is really advanced on the Skylines. and so is it's hybrid AWD system.
Yeah it is a Japanese Gizmo machine. and a Driveble Playstation.

Holy

! Now this is what I've been waiting for! The vinyl transformation feature is just mind boggling. Not to mention the rumor that there's only going to be one base kit is now squashed. Wow... Carbon is going to be really great.

Anyways, here's some carlist info I've gleaned from the video:

Exotics
Aston Martin DB9
Lamborghini Gallardo
Lamborghini MurciÃ©lago
Porsche Carrera GT
Porsche Cayman S

Muscle
Chevrolet Camaro SS
Chrysler 300C SRT8
Dodge Challenger
Dodge Charger SRT8
Ford Mustang GT

Tuner
Mazda RX-7
Mazda RX-8
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution XI MR Edition
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Toyota Supra

Uncategorized Cars
Alfa Romeo Brera
Audi R8/Lemans Quattro
BMW M3 GTR
Dodge Viper
Ford GT
Ford Mustang GT-500
Lotus Elise
Mazda 3
Mercedes-Benz CLK500
Nissan 350Z
Nissan Skyline
Volkswagen Golf R32

Most of these cars are confirmed cars, save for a few such as the Skyline and the Dodge Viper. Since all the others are either cars confirmed by EA or have been seen in this video, I think it's safe to say that these cars will be in the final version of the game.

Now...this is what I've been waiting for. Amazing video which answers many questions. We know there are pre-defined parts which can be further refined and "sculpted". The paint system is back from High Stakes...which means colours are limitless. It is true that EA have outdone themselves in the tuning department but I have yet to see them improving the racing mechanics...(it seems people will spend more time sculpting their car instead of racing)

Heh, ever since Underground 2, I've relied on Need for Speed not for racing, but for customizing. I agree I miss the racing aspect, but for that I have the old NFS games to fall back on.

Looks like we won't have any existing rim brands this time? I hope we'll have licensed rims and the autosculptable ones as in separated sections... Vinyl transform thing...

Why would you want licensed rims? Now that we have this autosculpt thingy...you can sculpt any rim you want!

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 25 Aug 2006, 14:37

True enough... Though I'll still be missing the badge.

canhoto · Post by **canhoto** » 25 Aug 2006, 14:38

there has to be licensed rims...at least they showed up in the vids and in the pics

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 25 Aug 2006, 14:56

I managed to get some information from the Autosculpt video regarding the car list, with a few surprises:

- Aston Martin: DB9
- BMW:
- Dodge: Viper SRT-10, Challenger Concept, Challenger, Charger SRT-8, Charger R/T
- Alfa Romeo:
- Ford: Shelby GT500
- Vauxhall: Monaro
- Koenigsegg: CCX
- Lamborghini: Gallardo, Murcielago
- Lotus: Elise, Europa S
- Mazda: RX-8, RX-7, Mazdaspeed3
- McLaren:
- Mitsubishi: Eclipse, Lancer Evolution
- Nissan:
- Pagani: Zonda
- Porsche: 911 Carrera
- Renault:
- Toyota/Lexus: Corolla, MR2, Supra, Altezza, Sprinter TRUENO, IS300
- Volkswagen:

EDIT: For the brands with no models, well nothing was mentioned...also bolded new cars
EDIT2: I searched up Toyota Altezza and it seems it's actually Lexus IS300 (presumably for countries where the Lexus brand doesn't exist). Hopefully this means the IS300 is the 2006 model.

That's only 39 so far, there 'should' be another 11, so I guess you'll all have to keep on waiting.
