Another contender for the title of 'best NFS game' by the fanbase, Need for Speed: Most Wanted took the open world and (some of) the aftermarket car customization aspects of Underground 2, put them in a gritty city called Rockport, and trimphantly brought back the cop chases for good measure. Also, five grand... FIVE GRAND!

Deleted Cars
Nissan 350Z
The folder CARS/350Z indicates that a Nissan 350Z was going to appear. Unfortunately, the only remnants of the 350Z are two files in that folder (PREVINYL.BIN and VINYLS.BIN). It was featured in its prequel, Underground 2 and later featured in Most Wanted's sequel, Carbon. It was probably removed due to licensing issues because there are no Nissan cars in the final game.
Also, a frontend node for the Nissan 350Z was located in the VLTEd data of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, however, it is not located inside vehicles due to the brand being cut. However, the errors listed on the car are that it's cost, region and UnlockedAt is set to 0, and it uses Aston Martin's manufacturer ID of 21, instead of Nissan's manufacturer ID is in the Unlimiter, which is 13. Also, a verbal type where the police calls the player's car as a Nissan also went unused.
However, a mod by Zvott96 adds the Nissan 350Z as an addon car, converted from Need for Speed: Carbon.
Also, a hidden tires node with the word skyline indicates there were some evidences that the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (R34) was also going to originally appear, but licensing reasons also cut the manufacturer from the car list.
BMW M3 E46
| To do: Find a picture of the Windows model to make a comparison. |
Some pre-release screenshots and game files indicate that the BMW M3 E46 (the base model; the player's titular blue-striped car is the GTR race model) was supposed to be in the game. However, the Windows and PlayStation 2 versions still have the body mesh and car logo in the files. The Windows version doesn't have any proper materials assigned for the vehicle, resulting in a black shape, but the PlayStation 2 version still has the materials intact. Textures still exist in the game's data. While both versions of the model have misplaced wheels and feature customization parts with the exception of bodykits and some missing hoods, the PS2 one has working visual modifications (including some early vinyls and a bugged number customization) with the only things missing being some decal positioning (panels, rear window and some door slots). This car was later introduced in ProStreet. Also, a mod by EllisRacing restores the cut M3 E46 to the game.
A language string for the BMW M3 CSL (E46) also exists in the Languages files, however, due to the somewhat incomplete translation, it is listed as BMW M3 CSL - BUG.
Traffic Vehicles
| To do: These are (sort of) drive-able with some hacks on the Windows version, get some good pictures |
The files also have some traffic cars that were cut, although they are fully complete. The vehicles are an ambulance, a camper, a truck hauling pipes, and a tanker truck. The ambulance only appears in the final game during the cutscene after the race with Rog.
