I actually looked that up and it seems the deal started with Porsche 2000.

I even think the deal between EA and Porsche ends this year...

Yep, and the only ones who have been able to successfully work out deals with EA has been Turn 10, though they have been on/off ones.

Pretty sure EA didn't have anything to do with Porsche back in 2001.

Uhh...still. From Porsche Unleashed to Hot Pursuit 2 and beyond that, Porsche was EA's and Polyphony couldn't do anything about it. Same reason why Driveclub dosen't have Porsche either.

It was meant for the game...like I said, EA's fault.

I'm just going to say nothing else, but still...

I'm fairly sure it won't happen because they weren't meant to be in the game and we don't list these vehicles.


But we should.

I'll bet good old Kazunori Yamauchi wanted this car to be in the game.

Of course, the reason why it's not in here is because of Electronic Arts.

Hit the nail right on the head. Exactly that happened. The 996 GT3 was actually Kazunori Yamauchi's personal car at the time, he probably still owns it.


Probably why it's the only complete Porsche in the game.

Last time I checked you could unlock it via Gameshark, but isn't unlockable/winnable/buyable under normal circumstances in any version of the game, so it should be returned to Unplayable status.
