From my knowledge these Texaco promo versions are just demos of the game with a playable ingame car plus a die cast car. Surely neat for collectors but what you want with a "image" of that?  :o

Get the full game with all available cars. It takes some effort to run the game properly under Win7, but its possible. Steering wheel or controller recommended.

Greetings

I like Porsche 2000 and if you have iso image from something demo Texaco can you upload this demo ;) ?
I would like to know what track will be in something demo, for example i know that in demo Texaco with Porsche Boxster S is track Zone Industriale with 944 turbo is Alps but i don't know what track is in demo texaco with 911 Turbo and 1959 356 so I have a request if you have something demo NFS Porsche with 356 or 911 Turbo can you upload this demo for me :) ?

Well... I see. Unfortunately I can't help you with these "images" , since i do not have any of these Texaco versions.
The default demo with a '94 Porsche 911 and Normandie track can be found on EA's FTP server (ftp://ftp.ea.com/pub/ea/demos/nfspu/) (NFSDEMOS.zip). Demo version have no music (dunno if this applies for the Texaco Sampler). And keep in mind you will face the 'usual' game problems when running the demos on a new PC (random crashes, blurry textures with CPU > 1 Ghz etc.)

Thats an interesting video. Thanks for sharing that.

So we can conclude that there are 5 versions in total. All like the EA demo, with one car and one track, no music and singleplayer without traffic only. But with a custom launcher.
Indeed a promo oddity from EA...
A neat collectors item, that will be hard to get your hands on, outside of the USA :)

Regarding the game content though, there is nothing special in these versions...

btw: there is another odd "special version" of this game out there which was released 2003 in Germany only.
"Need For Speed Porsche - 40 Jahre 911" http://ogdb.eu/index.php?section=game&gameid=7072
The CD's are in a nice looking metal box. Despite wikipedia saying this version includes "official soundtrack of the game", there is no music from the game on the audio disc! Simply different "road trip" tracks from Queen, Slade, Roxette, Billy Idol etc...
