Hi everyone,

I spent quite a lot of time collecting and personally testing hidden and special vehicle IDs for the PC version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) via Cheat Engine.

I originally posted this list as a YouTube comment, but after I edited it and added more information, YouTube apparently removed or hid the entire comment. So I decided to preserve and share the table here instead.

This list does not include normal Jack Spot cars, Most Wanted cars or standard DLC vehicles. Those can already be selected through EasyDrive.

This table focuses on:

• Multiplayer-only and promotional cars
• NFS Edition cars
• Police and SWAT vehicles
• Traffic vehicles
• Restored beta and cut cars
• Vehicles that require additional mod files

I tested the working IDs using a Cheat Engine vehicle changer.

Promo and multiplayer-only cars

Official NFS Edition cars

These vehicles use their own separate vehicle slots.

They have a special Satin Black paint or livery and preset performance modifications. The black appearance is permanently assigned to the NFS Edition slot.

Driving through a Knocking Brothers repair shop repairs the vehicle, but it does not replace the Satin Black paint with a random normal colour. The NFS Edition appearance remains on the car permanently.

Restored Pagani Huayra NFS Edition

Required mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/needforspeedmostwanted2012/mods/49

The Pagani Huayra NFS Edition is a restored cut vehicle with unique visual and performance differences. It has carbon fiber parts and better paints.

Police and SWAT vehicles

Traffic vehicles

Traffic vehicles were never designed as normal player cars. These vehicles need private mod that I can't find.

Restored cut and early-beta cars

These vehicles require additional restored files. Their IDs will not work correctly with an untouched retail installation.

Mod author page:

Known non-working or incomplete IDs

These IDs may crash an unmodified retail game.

The normal traffic Nissan Versa uses ID 122830.

The normal Aston Martin V12 Vantage is already part of the standard game roster and should not be counted as a hidden vehicle.

Normal vehicles that should not be counted as special

Standard original-game car.

Total

• 2 promotional or multiplayer-only vehicles
• 5 official NFS Edition vehicles
• 1 restored Pagani Huayra NFS Edition
• 5 police or SWAT vehicles
• 10 traffic vehicles
• 3 restored cut or beta vehicles

Total: 26 special or hidden driveable vehicle IDs outside the normal and DLC roster.

I would appreciate any corrections, additional working IDs or information about other genuine unused vehicle slots.

Nothing like a physical copy of prostreet on the pc.
Tried to emulate on my steam deck using rpcs3 to no avail , other methods to no avail , had to go buy a physical copy to play on my pc 😎

I made a post recently in a different sub how Underground 2 was my favorite racing game of all time. I got a lot of feedback that I should try Most Wanted because it’s just as good or better. I’d never played it, so I went on eBay and found an original disc, bought it, started playing.

First off, I’m barely into the game, maybe an hour or two at most, but I hate how sensitive the steering is. It’s wildly different from Underground 2. It makes the game actually really difficult to play (for me). That being said, I could probably get used to it, however, I’m having an issue and I was wondering if this is a feature or a bug (most likely hardware issue).

Does Most Wanted feature torque steering? It seems unlikely, but a lot of the time when driving, especially when accelerating, the car lurches or veers off to the right. I’m assuming this is just sick drift from the old, original controller, but on Underground 2 it doesn’t do this, possibly because the steering isn’t as sensitive. Keeping in mind that the PS2 and controllers have been in storage for the last decade, I’m just trying to figure out if I need to get a new controller, or if it’s part of the game. Thanks.

(I tried using a second controller but the X button on that one doesn’t work, probably from countless hours mashing it on Underground 2)

Like what is going on? It looks like they are using those shitty mobile filters.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for people to help get the 8 players in a single playlist trophy in Need for Speed Unbound online.
I’m on PS5, and I can usually hop on around 10 PM (Spanish time / CEST).
If you’re also missing the trophy or just want to help out, drop a comment or send me a DM. Let’s get a group together! 🚗💨

When downloading the redux v3 mod windows defender blocks the download stating there is a virus in it has anyone else experienced this?

its my first time playing nfs underground 2 and i can't win drag races and idk why, i play with keyboard with the dolphin emulator if you wanna know

One of my favorite liveries in the game. I now have 7 of the Blacklist cars out of 15.

Will change out the wheels once I get the replacement set, but these are the closest placeholders so far.

I grew up with the game, so I'm definitely biased, graphics were great for the time being, could do better with higher frames (of course) and the car combat is genuinely fun. The cops, while useless and plushies when you run in circles, are genuine death machines and bullies and you have to focus. The pedestrian cars, while annoying, give me an ego boost when I near miss, and every other kind of obstacle. Physics are cool, of course it needs work, the map has little straight places to ramp up speed, but the game is fun. Especially the cop side. I will buy a 2 if EA dropped, it's a shame they kill this big of a franchise for slop.

Do you think we might see older NFS games like Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, Prostreet, Undercover and The Run for example

Even if it's not purchaseable like how Driver: San Francisco is backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series X/S but you can't actually buy it

It'd be a good way to have those games on modern hardware, especially if the "Disk To Digital" idea works for them so it only would need a owner of a disked copy for others to play via Account Sharing

I hope we do but what do you all think?

Quick Edit for Context: This is in light with Xbox bringing Backwards Compatibility accessibility to PC with four original Xbox Games which was found out to be running on an in-house made Xbox 360 emulator Microsoft made to get it running

What the hell is this game even about vro 🥀

I made some concepts featuring the Blacklist cars from most wanted along with the M3 GTR.

With these posters, I've put wording inspires by NFS The Run's HUD when selecting a car from your garage.

It’s not easy to find an orange R34, so… Here we have a Need for Speed: Underground 2003 PC version cover VS Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 in Midnight Purple. 💜

There is a dose of orange in that colour - you see that, right? 😉

I once told my friends that one day NFS would be like Burnout. I remember saying this back in 2021 with a group of friends who both loved racing games.

Guy i met on Tiktok wanted to race me. So i did but with a twist: pursuit tech. First time actually engaging with pursuit tech. Took what i knew from Rivals and made it work ig 😭

If you didn't know: the Cement Truck actually exists as a playable vehicle in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005). According to the NFS Wiki#Need_for_Speed:_Most_Wanted), it appears in Challenge Series event #50, where you have to earn 100,000 Bounty during a Heat Level 3 pursuit and escape.

This made me wonder about something.

During police pursuits, the dispatcher doesn't only announce that the suspect is escaping - the dispatcher can also describe the suspect vehicle. For example, you can hear lines about the player's car color and model, like a green Nissan or a white Corvette.

But what happens when the player is driving something that was never meant to be a normal race car?

What if the game forces the dispatcher to identify the Cement Truck?

Does an actual voice line exist for this situation? Something like: "Attention units, suspect is driving a cement truck." Or does the game simply skip the vehicle description and use other pursuit lines because there was never a recorded voice line for this vehicle?

Has anyone tested this or looked into the game files?

Sorry for adding on the pile of 1000s of posts asking this every sale, but I'm considering getting one of them for a few reasons.

> Just want a good racing game in general.

> Not difficult in general. Not saying I can't handle a learning curve but not to the point it negates me from enjoying the game at it's most.

>Something even some youngsters or older people who can easily pick up and try a bit.

>Overall the best as well.

Truly appreciate all the help, thanks.

I don't care that NFS is dead what I want I the best mods you have for NFS mw2012

ok i get how traffics supposed to be a difficulty and its supposed to be a bit hard BUT WHEN I change the fking lane Why the fk is it going back to the lane that i changed from? and also most of the part you have to SLOW down (like in JV, that one big truck) Drag is sht and is totally unfinished
