All cars in the international versions use the Massachusetts plate "997-XNE", which is odd, considering that Crave Entertainment was based in California.

On both versions of HP2, this car looks weird. On the main PS2 version, it has a chromed front grille and a missing bullbar, whilst on the other versions, the front grille isn't chromed, and it has a bullbar fitted. The side profile is also weird, and the rear is modeled after a 2000+ model. So, it's a weird mishmash of different P71 Crown Victorias.

I through the engine sounds are created by the developers.

Nope, they were outsourced to American-based Tommy Tallarico Studios (which did this, 6 and Demolition Racer), as all three games share sounds with each other.
