Fresh from your local circuit, this RX-8 will be pulling double duty as a knife-edged track weapon, and your daily driver in NFS World.
Wearing its track livery, and sporting the lucky number 13, your ride will definitely stand out in a crowd. The black and charcoal design is picked out with red highlights and a red neon glow beneath your car. The custom painted wheels and the GT wing on the deck lid perfectly match this Mazda stunner.

The Nissan Fairlady 240ZG comes out of retirement! We retired the Fairlady in December and due to popular demand, have welcomed her back to the NFSW stable of cars.
The Nissan Fairlady 240ZG or Z-car was released in Japan in order to make the car eligible for racing in 1971. Staying true to its racing bloodlines, it is powered by an in-line six engine and featured a signature 190mm long nose, also known as the “G-noseâ€. Combining good looks and powerful performance, this vintage racer became an instant classic.
This little gem set the standard for sportscar production. First impressions and racing results count, so get yours today in the Car Dealer.
The Porsche 911 RSR 3.0 “Enduro†edition is your track-prepped racer! It was the go-to car for the private racer in the 70’s and we are proud to offer you this completely custom version in NFS World.
Porsche engineers stripped out the non-essentials and with a liberal use of lighter thinner composites and alloys, shedding a great deal of weight off of the road-going 911.
With a HP/Liter rating of 110bhp, the 3.0l engine rocketed the car into the history books of racing..
This car sports a satin grey and black two tone finish, coupled with a red key line to pick out the unique details. The race livery features sponsor logos and a 999 race number. The red underbody glow and jet black license plate matches the two tone BBS wheels with black centers and satin red lips.
Turn heads while leaving your competition in the dust! Gets yours in the Car Dealer today!

The Aston Martin DBS is a technological masterpiece. Besides boasting a supremely powerful V12 engine and 510hp, this race-bred exotic also made extensive use of ultra-light carbon fibre to keep its weight as low as possible. A new front bumper helped channel airflow while a widened front and rear track gave the car its solid stance.
Hand-assembled at their dedicated facility in Cologne, Germany, it’s also the first time carbon ceramic matrix brakes were employed on an Aston Martin. You won’t be using them much, as you’ll have the throttle pinned and adequate downforce to rocket you around the track.
For pure Tier 3 performance without compromise, add the Aston Martin DBS to your garage today! Now available for Top-Up!
