Those aren't the exclusive cars. If you check out the wiki, you should see a list of "tentative" exclusive cars. However, it would suck if the Koenigsegg was exclusive.

i think it makes it look like a pimp/gangster ride.

Before the pictures were released, didn't smoothie say IGN will have pictures of exclusive cars only available in the Collector's Edition? I presume these are the card he was talking about.

Yep, the PS2 demo has been released today bundled with other demos. I forgot the website from where you can buy it though.

Actually, what I remember smoothie saying is that IGN will have exclusive pictures of cars. Maybe someone can find his post again and clarify?

IGN has "exclusive" wallpapers for IGN Insider Members (of course you have to pay) but someone posted the wallpaper (there was only 1) on the IGN forum:

The wallpaper seems poorly made and if it was made by IGN, it just goes to show you that paying for that stupid membership is highly unworth it.

2furio posted it a few pages back OR you can go to http://www.needforspeed.com and check the official car list forum

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 18 Oct 2006, 01:02

Phew, found the message on the 184th page of this thread. The exact original message was:

Hiya!

A few more cars from the Collector's Edition are going to be revealed on IGN any moment now.

~ Smoothie

I can't quote the original because the official NFS forum is either really slow or not working at the moment.

EDIT: I print-screened the post for all the doubters out there

the jkanuary 2007 plate could be the date for releasing in ps3, or a delay in the release date or nfs carbon

Ah, ok. I guess I'll update the wiki later if no one handles it before. If someone does, remember to update the carlist, individual car pages, NFS Carbon page, and the Special Edition pages.

EDIT:
Answer me this: EA officially said that the Collector's Edition will have 3 exclusive cars. IGN has pics of 4 new cars. Granted it's possible that they're exclusive cars, but I doubt it. EA wouldn't have officially announced something and then changed their minds about it.

Nice pics. Love the Comaro

Now I know what type of car I will be riding most. Very high detail in the pics. It is Probably taken from the PS3 or the X-360 using that handy camra feature. If that is the case, DANG, I hope the pic I take turn out like that.

That just looks like they chucked the blocker scout and drafter videos into one
A better video on Game Trailers is the 'Preview' one, first on the Carbon video list.

Hey all,

first time in a nfs forum, but i do say, NFS carbon is gonna rock.

Glad Neons are back. Trying to make veilside cars in NFSC on PS2 is still going to be a challenge. I hope for the next NFS tuning game they bring a mode called "2player Pink Slip" where you and a buddy race against each other (Split screen and Network) for each other's cars in your garages. That'll be cool. Similar to what 'Juiced' had.

Pity that i havnt seen a Mitsubishi GTO(UK+Jap)/ 3000GT(USA) in the car list. i really hope and pray it is in. a stage 4 turbo will give 800bhp+. it was quite bad what EA did to that cars reputation in NFSU2, they made the car terribly slow. Gran Turismo does justice to that car.

Python_S · Post by **Python_S** » 18 Oct 2006, 09:43

If your whining that 3000GT was made slow by EA what can i say about the Supra.....Along with the Skyline it should've been the fastest car in U2 but instead the fastest were all fwd crap.

gtouk21 · Post by **gtouk21** » 18 Oct 2006, 10:09

Quite true. the 3000GT, Supra and Skyline were supposed to be the rockers. Mean while, the 350Z and RX7 got all the glory. Crap one.

>American and German cars are for losers. JAP cars rule.

By the way i like your thinking....

StreekG · Post by **StreekG** » 18 Oct 2006, 11:42

Whats the deal, German cars are the nuetral side.

Leave them alone and keep American cars as they are the ones you are competing with.
Just remember all those guys in American cars look at a jap car and say 'f**ken rice box'

Us german car drivers just don't say anything because we respect your own decision, but to ourselves, we know our cars are superior.

StreekG, no such thing as a neutral, or a in-betweener. You're either a winner or a loser. American car drivers are jealous that the jap's make better cars. american cars are all crates. Heavy box-shaped..... things!!!

And mitsubishi's are tin cans with headcolds, isn't this thread about carbon not about peoples taste in cars?
