#Nfs run cars list full#
SW: We took a Saleen S7 race-frame, and put Chevy LS3 motors in all of them, pushing out over 500bhp, I mean those were full race cars. TG: What chassis was underneath the ‘wreck' cars? A lot of the audience won't have seen a Koenigsegg. At the time we were filming they weren't allowed over in the States. SW: There are no Koenigseggs in America, man. TG: Why the Koenigsegg as another hero car and not, say, the P1? Lamborghini solicited us, there are only three of them, and we got one of them. I mean, that was a real Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, man. We had to sign over huge NDAs, because they're giving over their magic to us. SW: EA (Electronic Arts, the NfS publisher) has a great relationship with all those brands, so they opened the doors for us to get all the CAD designs. TG: How did you get the manufacturers to play along and build these exact replicas to destroy? The McLaren P1 was the only real car we couldn't get. The ones we wrecked aren't real, obviously, because I didn't want to wreck the real cars, because I felt they were art pieces. TG: What about the supercars - the Veyron, P1, Koenigsegg etc - surely they're all replicas? the biggest car body count is still the Blues Brothers. I don't know the full body count, but I mean. Overall I'd say we destroyed just under 100 cars. It was a bummer to see that happen to these cars, but it's part of the deal. The others went in straight T-bone accidents. The one that did that jump didn't want to see the light of day afterwards, for example. SW: We built eight Mustangs, and we wrecked six. TG: How many Mustangs did you destroy during the shoot? I thought if I'm doing a 2015 movie, lets make it a 2015 Mustang, right? Bullitt set the tone for car culture movies.Īnd the Mustang in NfS is the Bullitt car if you think about it - it was a '68 Mustang in a '68 movie. Plus, the Mustang is the car Steve McQueen drove. Personally I was always a Carroll Shelby fan, and when Carroll passed away it hit me hard he was such an innovator. There's really only three - the GT500 Mustang, the ‘Vette, and the Viper. Not these $100,000-plus supercars, but something represents the middle of America. SW: I wanted a car to represent the average consumer's modern version of muscle. TG: Why choose the Ford Mustang as the hero car? It's seems to be a lost art form in actors these days.

I still think Bullitt's car chase is incredible, it has a raw grittiness, plus a) it had Steve McQueen, and b) Steve McQueen actually drove in it.
