Description
GLOBAL VR presents full-throttle driving action with

Get behind the wheel of the world’s top high-performance cars, including the 450-horsepower Dodge Viper
GTS, the nimble Lotus Elise, the BMW Z8 and the fastest production Corvette ever made, the Z06. With a mix
of high-end American muscle and top European exotics,
Need For Speed
has cars that will appeal to all players.
With remarkable car detail and state-of-the art special effects, the graphics of

down a mountain road at 160 with a Z8 two inches from your right rear quarter panel.

and more challenging realistic driving physics for experienced drivers. The driving experience is further
