Trivia
Development - Main article: Need for Speed: Carbon/Development.
- Every Custom car (except for the Dump Truck, Fire Truck, and PPD cars) has a price set in game that would appear if they were viewed through the car lot, even though they can not be purchased in the career mode.[1]
- Several game files indicate that some playable vehicles were associated, pitched or at one point licenced for use in the final game:
- The car body mesh of the Audi A4 3.2 FSI quattro, Cadillac CTS, Mazda Mazda3, Porsche 911 Carrera S, Porsche 911 Turbo S, and Volkswagen Golf GTI can be found in the game files.[2]
- Logo UI textures alongside frontend entries can be found in the game files for the Audi A3 3.2 quattro, Audi TT 3.2 quattro, Chevrolet Corvette C6, and Chevrolet Corvette C6.R; although they may be leftover content from the overlapping development of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.[3]
