The early Need for Speed games featured not only well known cars from major brands but also some very rare and exotic supercars that almost no other racing games have ever included. Here you can see 8 different cars from NFS 2 and NFS 3 that have been forgotten by the video game industry and that have not been included in any major racing games for the past 15 or more years. For each car I am showing the ingame showcase and photo gallery and then some gameplay with the car on a track.

The Italdesign Calà (also known as Lamborghini Calà) is a concept car and NFS 2 is the only racing game to ever officially feature it, although some other video games include fictional cars that are based on it.

The Ford GT90 was featured in NFS 2, Gran Turismo 2 and PGR 3, along with a bunch of minor racing games. The Ford Indigo was also featured in NFS 2 and PGR 3. The Mustang Mach III is exclusive to NFS 2 in terms of games that are notable.

The Isdera Commendatore 112i is completely exclusive to Need for Speed 2. The Italdesign Nazca C2 (also known as BMW Nazca C2) was featured in NFS 2 and in the PS1 version of NFS 3.

The Jaguar XJR-15 was included in Need for Speed 3 and Gran Turismo 2. The Italdesign Scighera (also known as Alfa Romeo Scighera) is exclusive to the PC version of NFS 3.

It's very surprising that these interesting supercars have not been included in more racing games, especially in case of the ones from Ford and Jaguar, since many other cars from those brands are included in Forza games for example (and from Ford even a lot of obscure ones).

Which of these 8 cars are your favorites and in which current or upcoming games would you like to see some of them?

Do you want to get to know even more rare and obscure supercars? Then check out my previous video with 10 rare cars from Forza Motorsport 3 and 4 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZpMnFezbXA

And if this video does well, then I might make a third one about the obscure cars in Driveclub, which is another game that has a lot of cars which are not found anywhere else.
