I don't know if I'd be game enough to ride shotgun in the real Supra (if you've ever been a passenger with Chris you'll know what I mean), so I'll stick to driving the virtual version for now!Īnother tough street car in the Team Need for Speed family is of course, the RTR-X. Those who are NFS fans will already know of its inclusion in The Run, however something which is a secret is the exclusive live action RTR-X video. Stay tuned. 10,000rpm 6.2L V8, titanium turbos, custom Brembos, metal wide-body, and custom HRE wheels. Rado's Supra, quite literally, is a no compromise street car. One of the cars that came up in conversation was Chris Rado's insane 2500hp Toyota Supra.Ĭhris has been quietly building this Supra – which is his idea of the ultimate street car – for many years and it was finally nearing completion. It was a perfect fit for The Run. We wanted some diversity with our selection of real world cars, so we started brainstorming other crazy street cars we knew of. In the coming days we'll have an article on the various processes involved in taking a real car and creating an in-game representation.Ī massive thank you to Nakai-san from RWB, Promodet and Natty Dread's owner, Keiji-san, for allowing everyone to get behind the wheel of a RAUH-Welt Porsche. Recreating virtual replicas of actual cars – particular custom creations such as this – requires an incredible amount of work from the NFS car design team. I mean, wouldn't it be awesome to bring RWB into the virtual world? We tentatively asked about the Natty Dread 993 and, after many discussions, Dino soon found himself at Tsukuba shooting the hundreds of reference photos that are required by the game designers. Obviously, one of the first things to cross our minds was RAUH-Welt. And I think we came up with a pretty strong selection. Rod, Carl, Andy and I were entrusted with coming up with a short list of real-world cars that would gel with The Run's cross-crountry street racing theme. The Run features actors Sean Faris and Christina Hendricks (yes, of Mad Men fame), so it made sense for actual cars to be included too.


Need for Speed The Run starts hitting shelves today – the European launch is this Friday – and there's some aspects to the game that we thought you'd find interesting.
