Very beautiful tracks based on real-world European places of interest such as Monte Carlo and Corsica (PC version). Visual customization, however, is limited to factory stock only. Virtually every mechanical detail like manifolds, carburators, and fuel injectors are separately customizable.
Probably the most sophiscated performace customizing system (PC version) in the series next to Underground 2. Especially the PC version which is revolutionary in 2000. Nice graphics for both PC and PlayStation versions.
After this entry, for unknown reasons, the feature vanished.
This is the last non-Sim NFS game with a cockpit view (not counting the one-off event in Hot Pursuit 2). Fabulous car interiors in the PC version. Therefore, buying multiple new Carrera RS 2.7s and selling them later in the game is an extremely beneficial investment. For example, entry models like 914 and 944 become unbelievably cheap as game progresses, while real-life classics such as 911 Carrera RS 2.7's price increases MORE THAN TENFOLD in 2000. In Evolution mode, the used cars' price tags goes exactly like how they are in real life. You can both experience the development progress of Porsche in Evolution mode, and climb through the ranks as a Porsche test driver in Factory Driver mode.
You will get the full Porsche experience in this game. It has some truly wonderful Porsche tribute montages that are much more beautiful than actual Porsche commercials. This game is basically a love letter to Porsche, featuring virtually all Porsches ranging from 1950 to 2000.
