Top 10 Best Cars in the Need for Speed Franchise

The Top Ten
1 BMW M3 GTR

Okay, if you have played Need For Speed, then there's no way you haven't heard of this car. Anyone who has played Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005), Need For Speed Carbon, Need For Speed Most Wanted (2012), and Need For Speed (2015) should know this car.

Everyone who knew this car from Carbon and the original Most Wanted went out of their way to get the Heroes Pack for Most Wanted (2012) when it came out. The same goes for the DLC for Need For Speed (2015). When they found out the BMW was in it, they bought it. The legendary M3 GTR will always be a great all-around car, and its legend will live on.

This is the car that is worth climbing from 15th to first place on the Black List to take back from Razor! Unique vinyls, characteristics, engine sound - God, I get goosebumps every time I drive it. Twelve years later, it's still the best car from the best game in the series.

What can I say about that awesome car that embodies NFS? It's the rarest car that remains undefeated in all Need for Speed top cars (Eddie's Skyline is second in my opinion). The M3 GTR has everything going for it - great performance and an unbelievable look, and it's really hard to get back.

Both cars were available as DLC in later NFS games, which proves that they hold strong significance for the "old" NFS players. Who hasn't dreamt about having these two cars in their garage?

2 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
3 Lamborghini Gallardo

Coolest car ever. Nice pickup and great handling. I finished most of the race using this one.

4 Dodge Viper SRT-10

I like it. It's very fast and pretty cheap to buy. I'm only level 20, and I got it. It's a beast!

I've tried other, more expensive cars, but none come close to the Dodge Viper. It's just awesome.

5 Porsche Carrera GT
6 Lamborghini Murcielago

Bro, this car dominated Need for Speed from Hot Pursuit 2 to Payback. No car has survived this long in the series. It is present in each of these editions, and its performances are extreme.

7 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

Need for Speed Underground is the first game in the NFS series that allows players to customize their own unique cars. The Nissan Skyline GTR of the final boss is unique. Players couldn't customize a Skyline to look the same as Eddie's car. The special carbon hood with a decal is not possible to reproduce in the game. That makes this car special. Its look is really good and completely different, given the tuning trends of 2003.

8 Mitsubishi Lancer

Absolutely the best tuner in Carbon with the WRX. The best car in U2, a great-handling car in MW '05, one of the best speed cars in NFS ProStreet in the IX case, the best ProStreet car in the case of the X, a quality-price car in Undercover. Sadly, it got nerfed in World, but it has always been an all-rounder car in most of the NFS games where it was featured.

I loved this car when I first played this game.

9 Lamborghini Aventador
10 Toyota Supra

This car is a very iconic Japanese car and an iconic Need for Speed car.

The Contenders
11 Ford Mustang

I have set mine up to look similar to the Hoonicorn edition of the one in the NFS (2016) game. The setup is still in progress. However, when I got the community skin, there was a small flaw with the Ford logos, but I did love building it up.

The Mustang is, in my opinion, one of the most customized American cars. It's a very easy car to customize. All parts are easy to find. In the Need for Speed movie, this Ford Mustang has everything that typifies an NFS car: a great look and insane performance. What more can you say? Just another great NFS car.

12 Audi Le Mans Quattro

Come on, after that betrayal, how is Darius's car not as legendary as Ryan Cooper's 240 or Eddie's Skyline? It's by far one of the fastest cars in Carbon and one of the most daunting to face, even at the very end of the game.

I think that this car is really cool because it is one of the biggest enemies of Ryan Cooper. And it is a really beautiful car.

13 Nissan 350Z

What luck! The first car I drove in NFS Underground 2. The green matches perfectly with the night background of this Need for Speed. The car has a crazy look. Don't say that you weren't sad to give it back after the first ride! And don't say that you never tried to customize it the same way to have it for free run! It may not be a boss car, but this car is miles ahead of the forgettable boss car.

14 Ford GT
15 Subaru WRX STI
16 Bugatti Veyron 16.4
17 Mazda RX-7
18 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

This car is one of the few recurring cars in the franchise. It's been used as Cross's pursuit vehicle twice. I wonder why it's not as popular as both the M3 GTR and the R8 (Le Mans Quattro), featured in various games.

19 BMW M4 F82

NFS No Limits is released on smartphones. The major problem is the game's language, which is the only limit of the game. Aside from that, there's another BMW, heavily inspired by the Most Wanted M3. Maybe it's the new Most Wanted M3 successor?

20 Subaru BRZ
21 Mitsubishi Eclipse
22 BMW M3 E92

What? Is it a BMW? Yes, again and again, but there were no more special cars, so for this top 10, I had to include one more ride. I thought for a long time to find a good contender. It's hard to say this car is iconic, but the GT2 has something that we may like or not, but it won't leave us indifferent.

Need for Speed really has a fondness for BMW. This BMW from a boss deserves to be on this list because we had the opportunity to drive it during the demo! I was a little disappointed when I saw the difference between the demo car and the GRIP KING boss car. The demo car had nice HRE rims, whereas the boss car had boring BBS rims and a spoiler that didn't have the best effect.

23 Aston Martin One-77

Ah, that's what we like to fight for: injustice! That man did everything to prevent us from winning this big race and even used guns! His car is exclusive, like almost all signature cars in that game, but he has one of the fastest. You don't need to create some crazy vinyl when your car is already exclusive, but his midnight black with a light gray stripe on the side near the air inlet is clearly cool. Justice ends well because he got his car totaled. (Oops, spoiler!)

The car shows aggression, and you barely need vinyls to make a statement.

24 Beck Kustoms F132

The Beck, in my opinion, is the greatest car in NFS because its acceleration is probably one of the best in the game, and its handling is super good. However, the only downside is that its top speed is lower than many other cars.

Fastest acceleration possible in NFS 2015. Absolutely nuts. However, it will cost you.

25 Hennessey Venom
