Unsung hero cars for the Next Need For Speed game; Should we add them?
So, I was wondering if we could try adding these forgotten supercars in this game. I would love to see them too, even if these cars were never into production before.
Here are some examples:
1. 1992 Yamaha OX9-11
This is one of my favorite unsung cars, which looks like Gordon Murray's McLaren F1, and it has an engine called the Yamaha OX99 (3.5L 70 degree V12). However, in real life, this car was never sold due to the Japanese Debt Crisis in 1992. Also, there were so many disagreements between the IAD and Yamaha about the project before it was cancelled. The car only had 3 prototypes, which was red, dark green, and black. So the project was finally cancelled mostly due to the Japanese Debt Crisis.
If this did not happen (mostly the Japanese Debt Crisis of 1992), i'm sure many prototypes would be produced, and many customers would buy it, and the best thing is that it would be another greatest car in the world, after the McLaren F1, and I'm sure Yamaha would compete Gordon Murrays McLaren F1 with this car. Btw, the McLaren F1 started being produced the same year in 1992 when Yamaha produced the OX99-11. But Gordon Murray's F1 succeed, since England that time was fine.
Here's how it looks like:
Yamaha OX99 engine (3.5L 70 degree V12 engine)
*Fun Fact: The Yamaha OX99 was also used as an engine for the Brabham BT59.
Interior:
Start up section and transmission:
*The transmission for this car is a 6 speed manual, and the start up section is beside the transmission, where you can see the car key.
Other specs:
The Yamaha OX99-11 is also a rear-wheel drive.
2. 1939 Mercedes-Benz Schlörwagen Pillbug
This is a German car that never went into production, probably because of the Second World War. But it still looks good.

Interior:
*The Driver seat is like the McLaren F1 or Yamaha OX99-11.

3. Volkswagen Beetle Fittipaldi/Bardahl
Not sure about this car.
Chassis and Construction:

3.8L Flat-8
The Fittipaldi Beetle's drive type might be RWD, similar to the original VW Beetle.
4. 2005 Maserati Birdcage 75th
This car is related to the Maserati MC12 and Ferrari Enzo, thus it uses the Ferrari engine.
How doors and engine bay open:
Engine:
Ferrari Tipo F140 B (6.0L V12)
Interior:
Other Specs:
Transmission: 6 speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission)
Doors: Canopy

5. 1999 Mercedes-McLaren CLK-GTR (Strassenversion)
This feels like a combination of the 1999 Mercedes E-Class and the 1992 McLaren F1
Interior:
This car looks like the McLaren F1, however, it's not a 3 seater, and dirver seat is not in the middle.
Engine:
Mercedes M297 (6.0L V12)
6. 1981 Wolfrace Sonic (Not sure if we could add this, and doesn't show much of the specs, even the engine, but this seems awesome)
Btw, I can't add everything, and we're not sure if they could really add it in this game, but you can suggest some more different rare cars for Need For Speed 2022, so happy racing everyone! 🙂
