Many are times when staying at home can be a hellish experience. But when playing Need For Speed, a home is a castle. Need For Speed is an auctionable sports car video game developed for auto fanatics who wish to showcase their real-life crazy driving skills virtually.
The series dates back to the '90s and has been updated frequently to now include the 24th installment, Heat.
Here a collection of both modern and
classic cars
zip through Palm City in tight races even after the High-Speed Task Force boss launches a crackdown on nightly street races. As the game wears on, emotions are at an all-time high as each driver scrambles to push their car to the top.Most of the cars hyped in the game exist in real life and you can't drive them without active
insurance
. Here are some of the top-performing cars
that dominated Need For Speed: Heat.The best car overall: McLaren P1 GTR
Classified as an exotic car together with the Mercedes-Benz SRL, Ford GT, and
Chevrolet Corvette
, the McLaren P1 GTR is an amazing engineering masterpiece. It is a plug-in hybrid racecar with brilliant performance and acceleration.In the U.S., the car is not street legal, and close to 300 specimens were ever delivered. It rolled out of the production line, waving a $2 million price tag. But is the price worth it?
The car's designs were inspired by the sailfish, the fastest marine organism. And if you can guess it, GTR has a flat torpedo-like body enabling it to cut through the air at a top speed of 217 mph. It can accelerate to 124 mph in a little over 6.8 seconds from rest.
The McLaren GTR derives jet-like properties from a 3.8-Liter twin-turbo V8 engine supported by an electric motor to generate over 900 horsepower.
The interior of a GTR has ultramodern features that monitor every aspect of the engine, tires, interior environment, and navigation and post them on a touch screen. Just in front of the soft steering wheel, a multilayered dashboard holds various buttons for control. And occupying the small space are two 10 kg carbon fiber seats separated by cup holders.
