When i did it's tournament, the opponents violated the Class C restriction, and they drove the low-end exotics such as the Lamborghini Diablo, Cadillac Cien or the Gemballas.
Mercedes-Benz 190 E Evolution II
Need for Speed: No Limits (2015)
Originally only a stage up during Rocky's Takeover event, at the end of 2023, this one became available in a Crew Trials event in the update that also featured the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 (2018)
Converts to Nur model if Millennium Jade is picked as the body color
Lamborghini Diablo
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
This car could give you challenge in the early part of Detroit, especially with the player typically having B-Class cars at level 1 or the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec at maxed level.
Lamborghini Murciélago
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
The only racers not required to unlock this car are, though still required for the Cadillac Sixteen:
One of Carlos/Bishop in San Diego
Dre/Cheng or Vito/Naomi pair in Atlanta (one pair will gatekeep Detroit)

The grippiest car in the game.
Also the costliest car in the game, at 725,000
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
While San Diego and Tokyo (REMIX) are opened from the beginning, the unlock conditions are:
Atlanta: Defeat Vanessa's first rematch (when she comes back in a more modified Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-S after you beat Phil and win one San Diego tournament)
Atlanta: Defeat one of Cheng or Naomi, along with Roy's first rematch.
Cadillac Escalade EXT
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
Fun fact: The DUB Tournament opening as soon as you open Atlanta is due to the Big Playas invitation requiring the player to defeat one of Dre or Lamont, got the invite once Lamont got beaten before Dre.
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
Fun fact... it is possible to unlock this police car before the civilian racer counterpart of this... If you win all Tokyo tournaments before all tuner club races.
Chevrolet Impala
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
You do not need to essentially beat all Atlanta street racers, one of the Dre/Cheng or Vito/Naomi pair acts as the Detroit gatekeeper, aside from the Roy -> Lamont -> Roy II main quest, you also need to beat one of the pairs mentioned above.
Porsche 911 Carrera RSR
Need for Speed: Heat (2019)
The most overpowered car in this game, especially once you engine swap the Raptor's EcoBoost V6 into this.
Nissan 180SX
Need for Speed: Heat (2019)
Always choose this as my starting car, and would max it out once i swap the VR38DETT into this.
Dodge Magnum
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
Fun fact: You can also use this as an alternate starter vehicle, provided you open it's tournament and win it before starting the Career Mode.
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
Despite being in Class C, this car is a beast.... Looks more of a B-Class, as it faces the slowest exotics as it's common AI, and has the most expensive upgrade costs.
Autozam AZ-1
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
In NTSC-U and PAL releases, the car is simply MAZDA AZ-1.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Has AVS Model T7 rims in Western releases due to removal of Speedline rims...
Porsche 911 Carrera RSR
Need for Speed: Unbound (2022)
DETHRNED = Was nerfed after being dominant in all Ghost games (especially in Heat, with an EcoBoost swap).
Mazda RX-8
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Coincidence you had to defeat a Rotary team to unlock this.
The first member drives the pre-facelift FD, and the leader with the FC RX-7 that is a reference to the RedSuns team.

Renamed Mazda2 in western releases

Nissan Skyline GT-R
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
After testing all unlock conditions, found out the actual unlock condition...
Either you have to reach the point where you face Miracles Summit or Yeti Fang. Even without defeating the Speed Usher team in Aso, but when you hit the Zao Boss, the R34 will also be unlocked. Either one of the S5 bosses = R34 unlock.
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (2008)
Although this game has a good car list, many people just use the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 once they have access to group 4 vehicles due to how overpowered it is for it's 17,000 price if they are good at using the sport bikes.
Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster
Midnight Club: Los Angeles (2008)
Fact: Although you earn one for free from the DUB tournament, the vehicle can be purchased as soon as you unlock group 4 vehicles.
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12 R
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
One of the two Class A vehicles you can unlock early to be able to rush the Zonda unlocking process in Tokyo.
Pagani Zonda C12 S
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)
Found out the earliest way you can get to it's tournament is to win the Cien from it's tournament before any Class A vehicles are unlocked, or winning the ZX-12R from the Original Riders bike club, then detouring to Tokyo and winning the required 33 Tokyo City Races to easily open it's tournament.
Nissan Fairlady Z
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Those memories encountering that FR Benchmark early in the game, only you cannot own one yourself until after the Last Leg boss is defeated.

This car when fully upgraded actually has a slightly higher top speed than a fully upgraded Saleen S7.
Correct, has the fastest TS at 267 MPH with continous N20.
Best top speed among all vehicles, the bikes only go 235 MPH (378 km/h) maxed with no N20.
Eunos Roadster
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Simply renamed MAZDA MX-5 MIATA in export releases.

Mitsubishi GTO
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Rival notes. Due to Speedline rims' removal in export releases, the AVS T7 rims are used on this outside of Japan.

ItsaUserName wrote
Is this the only car removed from overseas releases or were there more?
Only this, the rival that used this Gemballa instead drives an ASL Garaiya outside of Japan.
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Notice that in non-Japanese releases, any rival to use Sparco wheels got AVS T6 rims instead, while Speedline rim users have AVS T7 rims instead.
Renault Clio V6
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Speedline rims were removed outside of Japan, Any rivals to use Speedline rims had it changed to AVS T7.
Audi RS6
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
Rims are changed to AVS Model T6 outside of Japanese version.
Honda S2000
Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu (2005)
The only rival car to still use a removed rim in international releases, since it falls back to a CE28N with ASL center caps in non-Japanese releases.

This car can only be unlocked by playing online. Unfortunately the server has been cut, it can only be unlocked with a Save Editor.
Or if your game has been modded with VLTEd that you even put this car into career mode.

Is this a separate car or is it just a wrap that was available for the regular Exorcist?
This is a wrap for the Exorcist, which can be earned by simply clearing the event.
Need for Speed: Carbon (2006)
Fact: Each of the career cars can have three unlocking conditions, depending on whether you go Tuner (RX-8), Muscle ('67 Camaro SS) or Exotic (Brera).

Use the Unlocker (made by Gnagna2000) to unlock all cars and parts, if you have PC version.
Now deprecated by NFS VLTEd just by putting an unlock condition, or using frontend customization 0xa6fac6bf, and changing IsCustomizable from False to True.

One of the three presets whose bodykits were overlaid.
