The Japanese and PAL versions have Japanese vehicles in it and less tracks, plus a different driving feel. The US version has driftier feel, and adds cars from American and Korean makes, and some oval tracks.

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.

In fact, the Sony versions are more forgiving than the Microsoft versions. You also get a bigger soundtrack, which automatically means that despite being inferior in visuals, they're superior in gameplay.
