<P> Like all racing games, the Need for Speed series features a list of cars, modeled and named after actual cars . Cars in the franchise are divided into four categories: exotic cars, muscle cars, tuners, and special vehicles . Exotic cars feature high performance, expensive cars like the Lamborghini Murciélago, Mercedes - Benz SLR McLaren, Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford GT; muscle cars refer to the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and the Chevrolet Camaro; while tuner cars are cars like the Nissan Skyline and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution . The special vehicles are civilian and police cars that are available for use in some games, such as the Ford Crown Victoria in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and garbage trucks, fire engines and taxis in Need for Speed: Carbon . </P> <P> Originally the series took place in international settings, such as race tracks in Australia, Europe, and Africa . Beginning with Underground, the series has taken place in fictional metropolitan cities . The first game featured traffic on "head to head" mode, while later games traffic can be toggled on and off, and starting with Underground, traffic is a fixed obstacle . Most of the recent Need for Speed games are set in fictional locations of our world, in a number of different time periods . These include, but are not limited to, Bayview, Rockport, Seacrest County, Fairhaven City and Ventura Bay . </P> <Table> Timeline of release years <Tr> <Td> 1994 </Td> <Td> The Need for Speed </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1995 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1997 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed II </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1998 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1999 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: High Stakes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2000 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2003 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Underground </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Underground 2 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2005 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Most Wanted </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Carbon </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2007 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: ProStreet </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2008 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Undercover </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2009 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Shift </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Need for Speed: Nitro </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: World </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2011 </Td> <Td> Shift 2: Unleashed </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Need for Speed: The Run </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2012 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Most Wanted </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2013 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed Rivals </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2014 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2015 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: No Limits </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Need for Speed (2015) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2016 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2017 </Td> <Td> Need for Speed Payback </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> TBA </Td> <Td> Need for Speed: Edge </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> 1994 </Td> <Td> The Need for Speed </Td> </Tr>
