 Morris Mini Cooper S Enthusia: Professional Racing (2005) | You can tell it's a Morris by the wavy grille, dontchaknow. Pretty sure there wasn't a 1275-engined mk1, though. Maybe the racing ones were but the road ones were 850, and the Coopers 998. | |
 Jaguar Mk.II Midnight Club: Street Racing (GBA) (2001) | How can that be a Mini, it has a boot! Dunno what it could be though, closest thing i can think of is Jag mk2. Or a Renault Dauphine but that wouldn't have a Union Jack on XD | |
 Austin Mini Driver 2: Back On The Streets (2000) | In the old days "chavs" of the time used to modify thier Minis by taking the grill off (the radiator is off to one side, so the grill is just for show really). There's a metal piece behind the grill that appears to make it look "split" when it's taken off. There's a Mini i sometimes see near me being driven around with the grill off. | |
 Checker Marathon Driver: Parallel Lines (2006) | Clarly a pre-release shot. In the final game it had a radiator that looked more like the one from a Volvo Amazon XD | |
 Rover 3500 The Getaway (2002) | Or when you fill it with water! | |
 Rover 400 World Racing 2 (2005) | More like a 600 if you ask me. The 75 had "two windows" and then an area of metal | |
 Zastava 750 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) | There's perhaps a few styling cues from the Renault 4CV* in there too. *-Yes, really, google it. It was based on the VW Beetle and had slots for the starting handle at the front and rear, nerdy fact fans! | |
 Ford Thunderbird ModNation Racers (2010) | Perhaps a very cartoony rendition of a classic Mercedes? They had "stacked" lights. Also some versions of the Ford Galaxie (note IE not Y) had similar stacked lights. | |
 Pontiac Chieftain De Luxe Art of Murder: Hunt for the Puppeteer (2009) | A 40's studebaker? Pretty sure they were known for the "hump" in front of the rear wheels at the time. | |
 Buick Invicta Tanto-R (1993) | The cadillac's tailfins are a different shape and taller. I'd say Impala too, with added fins! | |
 Mitsubishi Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai Call of Duty: World At War (2008) | Possibly a Churchill? I can't be bothered to dig through my collection of Commando comics right now, but i think they had a low profile (for the time) chassis and the turret right up on the front. | |
 Morris Minor Cabriolet Grand Theft Auto 2 (1999) | I'd say the name points to it being a Morris! The split screen and no wing-top lights point to it being a 40's or early 50's one, too. | |
 Made for Game Sedan Bad Day L.A. (2006) | The rare and strange-looking Suzuki Swift saloon. image.nettix.fi/extra/carimg/2414501_2414600/2414551_b_d2db63ea1ebafbc8.jpg Or maybe a Mazda 121. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Mazda_121_erste_Serie.jpg -- Last edit: 2009-07-28 20:52:13 | |
 Auto Union 1000 S Motorbike Madness (1988) | Yeah probably stylised beetles, as the game was so old they probably had both graphical limitations and a lack of a large number of people (i think one of the early officially licenced Batman games was still only made by 3 people), which resulted in them not looking perfect. | |
 Volkswagen New Beetle RPM Tuning (2004) | Hehe, yeah. While the other cars in this game are close to thier real-life counterparts they really wierded-up the Beetle, it has a sort of "deck" on the back with wood on it like a boat! | |
 Volvo 240 Estate Gran Turismo 4 (2004) | I want a saloon version in black! It's a Swedish Cadillac XD. I'd put the wheels and engine from a scrap Rover P6 in it though, and call it a "Volver", heh. | |
 Jaguar XJ6 Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004 (2004) | The crinkly chrome bit above the number plate recess points to it being a Daimler, not a Jaguar [/pedantic] | |
 Jaguar XK-E Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) | Don't forget the Comet in Vice City is usually assumed to be a 9/11, but the recessed lights on it look more like a Datsun, they've done the same recessing here. It's name hints to obvious British origins too, it's got the same name as the Queen! | |
 Porsche Boxster Grand Theft Auto Advance (2004) | Pretty sure it's gonna be the same car as it is in GTA3, which looked Boxter based, the "pillars" are probably really the wheelarches | |
 Triumph Bonneville Mad Motor (1989) | A triumph of some kind. There's one in MGS2 as well. The rider's arm looks like it's just obscuring the distinctive roughly D-shaped badge | |
 Nissan Trade WRC 4: The Official Game of the FIA World Rally Championship (2004) | Seems a bit big for that, the window above the cab suggests there's a side-facing bed up there, if you put that body on a supercarry only a kitten would fit in the bed XD. Possibly an old Renault van, i don't know the name of it though (that was clever), but it has similar lights and a grille. | |
 Made for Game Coupe Hot Wired (2001) | Needs a better picture really XD, bits of it suggest all sorts of things from a Honda CRX to a Renault Megane XD. Has somebody who has the game unlocked it? | |
 Renault 1400 Kg Goélette Fourgon Tôlé Ford Street Racing: XR Edition (2006) | The van? Looks like it might be a Morris J type. A bit of an old, wierd and obscure choice even for a background vehicle, mind XD yes i think so lol -- Last edit: 2009-07-15 21:40:08 (takumi) | |
 Renault Mégane Coupé Midtown Madness 3 (2003) | If we're talking about the blue one the back lights make me think of a Mazda | |
 Renault Clio V6 Midnight Club: Street Racing (GBA) (2001) | The back makes me think of a Megane | |
 Renault Clio V6 Midnight Club: Street Racing (GBA) (2001) | The lights don't look right for a Clio if you ask me. It reminds me of the RLY-ESC from Runabout 3, which was based on a Suzuki Escudo Pike's peak edition | |
 Bentley S2 Continental Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (1989) | Yeah, Bentley or Roller for sure. Or on the outside maybe a Studebaker? | |
 Chrysler Concorde Need for Speed: Most Wanted 5-1-0 (2005) | Reminds me of something i've seen around, but i can't remember what it's called (brilliant). My mind is saying Chrysler though | |
 Volvo F86 Rail Simulator 2: Railworks (2009) | Looks a little like a Bedford TK, but a bit different here and there. www.truckerlinks.dk/billeder/bedford-tk.jpg | |
 Ford Capri Rail Simulator 2: Railworks (2009) | I think early Capris were made in Britain, Belgium and Germany. The last ones (late 80's mk3's, that is) were made in Germany (Cologne to be precise) but only sold in Britain XD. | |
Rover 3500 The Getaway (2002) | 5.2 litre? pah! Somebody who works for Practical Performance Car magazine has put a 27 litre engine in thiers! It's from a WW2 tank, but is the same type as used in the Gloucster Meteor (only that had a supercharger). | |
 Rover Mini Test Drive 4 (1997) | I remember playing a demo of this back in the day and thinking the graphics were unbelivably good XD | |
 Rover 75 A2 Racer: World Challenge (2003) | More likely a Vauxhall Vectra, surely?, the lights and grill are 'perfect' (allowing for the rubbish graphics) for it, and a lot of police forces used them too. | |
 Rover 75 Paris-Marseille Racing II (2002) | How the hell is that a Rover 75? The back window is just about right but nothing else is. The front lights are closer to a Renault Laguna or even a 90's Nissan of some sort. | |
 Ford Escort Midnight Club II (2003) | Looks more like a Peugeout if you ask me, the Escort either had smaller square lights or larger but more rounded ones. | |
 Austin Mini Clubman Resistance Retribution (2009) | Looks more like a Mini Van to me (no back windows), i don't think there was a van version of the Clubman. Also the clubman had a flat front, the image linked above is a Mini Countryman! The estate version of the Clubman had no wood on it. | |
 Ford LTD Crown Victoria London Taxi: Rushour (2006) | Monster truck wheels! XD. Also there's really not as many Crown Vic's in London as many videogames seem to suggest. You DO see Vauxhall Omega's a lot there though, mostly in police service, but they are hardly seen at all anywhere else XD. | |
 Austin A40 Somerset Runabout 3: Neo Age (2002) | It's name in the game is "OLD A40", which is pretty conclusive for the Austin! | |
 Triumph Spitfire Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 (1999) | It looks different to the Midget in GTA London 1969... reminds me more of a Triumph Spitfire, but i dont think those existed in 61. | |
 Austin FX4 Evel Knievel (1999) | Looks a bit long for an FX4, if i didn't know better i'd be half inclined to say GAZ Chaika, going on the windows XD. Then again the game was likely made in not-much-time by people who's only experice of the FX4 is a google image search for "london cab", so it's probably supposed to be one. | |
 Austin FX4 RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (2002) | Lawl, i wanna ride a rollercoaster with Taxis! | |
 Chrysler M48 'Patton' Grand Theft Auto (1997) | Is it not a US Army-used tank like an Abrams or something? | |
 Ford Crown Victoria Asphalt: Urban GT 2 (2005) | Lolwut, i highly doubt the police in Paris use Crown Vic's. Would it have killed the developers to have made a Pegeout 407 or Renault Laguna or something you might actually see there? XD | |
 Lotus Carlton Gran Turismo 4 (2004) | A car so powerful there was questions in parliament about it! (note: may be an urban legend). Unlike the Sierra Cosworth it also had rear doors, the Impreza or Evo of it's day, except very limited edition. | |
 Fiat Multipla The Getaway: Black Monday (2004) | If i wanted a 6-seat car i'd hunt out a MK2 Zodiac, now there's a work of art! | |
 Lincoln Town Car The Getaway: Black Monday (2004) | Where is this in the game? is it some sort of super-rare car, or a hidden one? | |
 Citroën BX The Getaway: Black Monday (2004) | The only game (listed on this site anyway) in which the BX appears, this cannot be allowed to stand! (Though there might be one in GT5 XD) | |
 Mazda Roadster Runabout 2 (1999) | I beleive it was called the Eunos Roadster in Japan, which makes the naming obvious XD | |
 Autozam Revue Runabout 2 (1999) | I thought it was the (very rare) Suzuki Swift saloon version myself | |
 Ford Escort Bully (2006) | Heh, you can just tell that Bully was supposed to be set in England in the 20's, though. That was the golden age of boarding school based stories. But the marketing men would never have let them make a game like that, so it had to be transplanted to a time and place where boarding schools are probably almost nonexistant. |
