I'm back and ready for carbon......but i won't be able to play it for two weeks.

My grandparents are taking me and my cousin to Zimbabwe and Mozambique, because me grandfather is a bishop of the United Methodist Church who started Africa University. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and im very glad that I am going.

But..I leave on October 30, and come back the 13th of November.

My parents are picking up my reserved copy of Carbon Collector's Edition the day after I leave.

I am extremely happy that my favorite car will be a starter car..lol

Finally!

Glad Neons are back.

How do you know that? So far I haven't seen one screenshot of a vehicle with undercar neons in the game.

yeah me too, i haven't see nothing....but the trailer show neons....idk if those are just for "promotional intentions" or whatever....

I thought the neons were in a "Own the City" video, which is the PSP title isn't it? Maybe its just for portable handsets

I've only seen neons in screenshots and videos from NFS Carbon: Own the City. It's already been established that Own the City and other versions of Carbon are drastically different. If neons are there, they're most likely Own the City exclusive.

I see 51 cars now officially announced. The tentative car list I have sitting on my hard drive has 56 cars. EA said 50+ cars. I just hope that doesn't mean 51 cars.

Anyways, nice job to all those who found these new pics! And if someone would mind updating the wiki that would be nice. I don't have the time anymore.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 18 Oct 2006, 23:36

well it looks like there are obviously more than 51, dont you think?

Ceano · Post by **Ceano** » 18 Oct 2006, 23:59

The three cars i look forward most to drive is,
Koenigsegg CCX
Shelby GT500
BMW M3 GTR

BTW, the 2007 Ford Shelby Muustang GT500 is now confirmed.

Notice the distinct cobra on the front grille.

I'm just wondering...how was that site able to get so many pictures, especially on cars we've never seen before?

And it's good that site finally works (before, it didn't work)

You can also see the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Toyota Trueno (or whatever). So, that pretty much confirms about every single car out there for NFS Carbon (except for the DS/PSP exclusives).

I'm still hoping that the 2006 Nissan Skyline Concept is in the game (deserves its place).

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:23

So, it seems it was false what lot of ppl told about the Carlist part 3: when they release this list, the demo also was going to be available....mmm....still no demo at EA ftp large downloads...

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:24

and it says gt500 along the side, and a cobra on the front side panel.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:26

Yeah, but combine this info with what we already know, and you have a current car list of 51 confirmed cars (my math here may be wrong).
EDIT:
Was it just me, or did anyone else think that the cars in the pics on the xboxfront website looked a bit plastic-ey? Like on the Europa S, the car looks somewhat blocky and the shine that is present in the other cars is not there. Same applies for the Pagani Zonda.

Some of the newly-pictured cars include:
- Pagani Zonda
- Lotus Europa S
- Porsche 911 (997) Turbo
- Pontiac GTO (the new one)
- Infiniti G35

there was a car there towards the bottom of the pic (dark orange, black stripes; not charger or challenger) what car is this? mystery car?

Maybe special paint? remember that carbon has got that degradation colour system....

The page is getting slow for me also...idk what's going on, sometimes the page doesnt load or drop me out...

BluePhirePB · Post by **BluePhirePB** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:45

Oh ok. So does that list on include these?

- Pagani Zonda
- Lotus Europa S
- Porsche 911 (997) Turbo
- Pontiac GTO (the new one)
- Infiniti G35

I read on some posts that the AE86 was also visible.

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:47

im suprised the audi tt has not shown up. (not own the city)

and during the on the spot interview, the interviewers asked the question: will the toyota corolla ae86 be in the game?
EA guy: i dont think its well designed enough to be in the game.
stupid ea, then releasing screenshots of it. of course its in the game.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:48

Yeah, I just lost the page too. It won't load for me anymore.

Anyways, here's a car list, only with confirmed cars, although quite a few of these cars have no official confirmation yet. These cars are confirmed because they've been seen in the final version of the game, and since it's so close to release date, licensing is most likely finished and none of these cars will be pulled.

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:49

Interesting not to see the Porsche 911 Turbo...

EDIT: the info of the carlist part 3 is here http://pc.ign.com/articles/739/739784p1.html

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:59

The 911 Turbo will probably show up. It's not like EA to get a Porsche license and get so many of their cars and not include the Turbo. It's just not on that list because it's only been rumored about, there's been no concrete evidence of it's existence in the game yet.

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 19 Oct 2006, 01:01

Now nfs-planet has updated the CARS section and added screens...
