Latest NFS News - Announcing the Need for Speed World Create-A-Porsche 959 Contest

Need for Speed is very excited to announce the Need for Speed World Create-A-Porsche 959 contest!


We are asking the NFS community, to model a car for the launch of Need for Speed World. We’ve seen some of the amazing work you’ve done with our PC games once they’ve shipped and we’d like to showcase some of that work in World. Our good friends at Porsche have agreed to give players the chance to model the 959 for inclusion in the game and get credit for their creation. The car that wins will be available in Need for Speed World as a drivable car when the game launches.
