Idk to me there were always three main factors that made me fall in love with the car. The paint job. The blue and silver just look so good and the way it's painted is just so "sharp" in a way it makes you think "damn that car is going to be fast" without even seeing it run. The body kit. The way it's built makes it look "bulky" and then when you actually drive it, it's nimble in a way but also powerful and very fast so the way it drives contradicts the way it looks. And for me (and I think for many other people too) most importantly, the sound. Come on, who doesn't love feeling like you're piloting a plane in the shape of a car because that's what the M3 GTR engine sound always reminded me of, it's such a satisfying sound that was so beautifully imitated in the game.
it's not just the car itself, it's the context for it which matters almost as much. NFS MW was the best racing game ever for a bunch of reasons not just because of the M3 GTR. It's the same for the R34 Skyline, and to an extent for the AE86 and even the Dodge Challenger. It's the story and context which cars tell that makes them so appealing
If I have to rank all NFS cars into a Top 10: - BMW (E46) M3 GTR (Most Wanted 2005) - Eddie’s Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) (Underground 2003) - Jack Rourke’s Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake (The Run 2011) - A$AP Rocky’s Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5 Evolution II (Unbound 2022) - Ken Block’s Ford Mustang “Hoonicorn” (Need for Speed 2015) - Darius’s Audi LeMans Quattro Concept (Carbon 2006) - Pagani Zonda Cinque “NFS Edition” (Hot Pursuit 2010) - “Zephyr’s” Koenigsegg Agera R (Rivals 2013) - Cross’s Chevy Corvette Z06 (Carbon 2006) - Joe’s Polestar 1 (Heat 2019)
My List #1 Need for Speed Underground Vortex Car (tutorial car, the Honda integra type r with samurai vinyl) #2 BMW M3 GTR #3 Eddie's Nissan Skyline R34
It is not just that, it is the strange allure and the intrigue of being someone that nobody knows, that appears from anywhere and that in fact, is a wolf in a sheep's clothing capable of obliterating its peers. It is that magical aura.
It's a good question. There were other famous cars such as Nissan GTR34 in Underground 1, 350Z in Underground 2, Lancer Evo in Carbon while the new GTR35 in Prostreet.
What I ask myself for years is who actually from Black Box came up with the iconic vinyl/wrap. They had the Beta look and then they changed it. Some people had to put their mind behind it. I want to know who is responsible for this wonderful thing.
I just love the fact that NFS franchise always try to avoid adding Ferraris in the game. 😂 You rarely see any Ferrari in any NFS games. I think the only cars back in 2005 which had potential to replace M3 GTR would've been Bugatti Veyron and Jaguar XJ220.
My favorit Cars:
#1 - BMW M3 GTR
#2 Darius Audi R8
#3 Rose's Porsche 911 GT2

The blue and silver paint job is liiiiiiike.... BMW LOGO !!! lmao never noticed
To represent the series, I'd vote for the react team sessions RX-7 from Pro Street.
rx7 battle machine was beautiful with the scars, too bad we cant use it as playable
I love these car more than myself

First time seeing this car on my old PS2❤

I like this theme you wrote. Makes sense actually

You're right, no one talks enough about the Evo from Carbon even though it was literally on the cover. The same applies to NFS Shift
What I ask myself for years is who actually from Black Box came up with the iconic vinyl/wrap. They had the Beta look and then they changed it. Some people had to put their mind behind it. I want to know who is responsible for this wonderful thing.
Maybe we'll know someday

What is this cutscene????
Where is this cutscene from?
I think its a promotional video for NFS Mobile based on the visuals and the environment
Really love driving a real race car in game where are only road cars or "tuner" cars and outperforming Supra or Skyline 😂
You mean like a "power" trip?
I just love the fact that NFS franchise always try to avoid adding Ferraris in the game. 😂
You rarely see any Ferrari in any NFS games.
I think the only cars back in 2005 which had potential to replace M3 GTR would've been Bugatti Veyron and Jaguar XJ220.
Yeah you're right, I think the only Ferrari's you find are in Hot Pursuit, Rivals and some classic titles maybe
This video feels like the defenition of Chat GPT type of script...
Pointless video...
Even the voice sounds like AI...
Appreciate that! 😂
definetly.
Honestly this car is iconic to point where BMW had to manufacture one,Interesting!.
Well said 😉
Cause nfs most wanted 2 is coming
You forgot Cross' Corvettes 💀
The funny thing is that Cross' Corvette was a Le Man's racer as well.
M3 gtrRrrrrrrrrr 😆
But why did they choose BMW M3 GTR?
nice
Thanks!
