Discover how to find and use secret bonus cars like the Nismo Sentra and VORTEX car in Need for Speed Underground's Quick Race mode. Learn to identify them by their unique vinyls!
Alright, so you've heard about those super-secret bonus cars in Need for Speed Underground, huh? Things like the Nismo Sentra, the VORTEX car, or even the ones named after rappers like Petey Pablo and Mystikal. Pretty cool, right? But here's the catch: you won't find these bad boys in the main Underground Mode. Nope, they're strictly for Quick Race sessions.
To even get a shot at them, you gotta head back to the Main Menu and pick 'Quick Race.' From there, choose any of the six race types, and then dive into the car selection screen. Now, here's where it gets a little tricky: the game won't just show you the bonus car's name. Instead, you'll see the regular model name, like 'Nissan Sentra' for the Nismo Sentra. So, don't go hunting for the exact bonus car name!
How do you spot them then? Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open. When you're scrolling through the car list, wait for the engine sound to roar – that's your cue! If you look closely at the cars that appear, the bonus ones won't be a plain color. They'll have a unique vinyl graphic on them. If a car looks like it's just got a solid paint job, it's not the bonus ride you're looking for. You'll have to keep scrolling through the list, looking for other cars of the same model that have that special vinyl. They usually show up towards the end of the list if you scroll all the way to the right.
For instance, with the Nismo Sentra, you'll see 'Nissan Sentra' on the screen. But if you wait for it to appear and listen for the engine, you'll notice the 'Nismo' text and some Japanese characters on the side. That's how you know you've found it!
Still having trouble? It might be because you haven't unlocked that specific bonus car yet. You can check your progress by looking through the style rewards list. Make sure you've earned it before you try to find it in Quick Race. And remember, I can't stress this enough: bonus cars are NOT available in Underground Mode. Seriously, don't waste your time looking for them there!
