Unused and Removed Vehicles

This is a sub-page of Need for Speed: Rivals.

Most vehicles in this game only have sounds leftover.

Here's the interview with Markus Nilsson during 2013 Gamescom: https://youtu.be/OWRvjh3Limg?si=qPK7MlgzplztBQ69 (0:30 - 0:47) "You have an idea of the total amount of cars or is it still moving?"

"it is always still moving but still licensing issues, sometimes we build the car and it's finished and it's been in the game for months and then all of a sudden you can't have it because something is wrong with it" -- Markus Nilsson

Audi A4#

Sadly no car model, only car performance configs.

Acura NSX#

A couple of files referencing an Acura NSX can be found (NFS Pro Street NSX sound files in NFS Rivals game files... no idle sounds), if the car appeared in the game, it would likely be the NA2 model.

Ford Mustang GT 2014#

Inside the game files of July 1st, 2013 Build, it existed as a car for racers side ("Customization" Folder is clear proof, since only racer cars have it, cop cars don't). Later during the development, the elements and values of the car were removed and have never been seen again.

How the structure looked in the game files for this car:

(MAIN Folder)                          Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014
(Files)                                  -> car_ford_mustanggt_2014_bundle_networkregistry_Ps3

                                            Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014_Physics_Ps3

                                            LghtPrfb_Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014

(Subfolder)                                   Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014
(Files)                                         -> bodybundlecollection
                                                   hiqty_audio
                                                   hiqty_audio_networkregistry_Win32
                                                   rimbundlecollection

(2nd Subfolder)                               Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014_Bundle
(Files)                                         -> MeshVariationDb_Win32

(3rd Subfolder)                               Customization
(Files)                                         -> ??? (I need to find out if the car had any personalization during that time).

(4th Subfolder)                               Textures
(Files)                                         -> ??? (I need to find out what textures it used during that time).

Fun Fact: Ford Mustang GT Movie Car had its own main folder called "Car_Ford_Movie_mustang_2014" with subfolders and files, but once they wanted to remove the regular Mustang GT 2014 from their game, they replaced everything with the values, mesh, etc of Movie Car, and "Car_Ford_Movie_mustang_2014" was removed since it was useless. Therefore, Movie Car now uses the "Car_Ford_MustangGT_2014" folder, subfolders and files with the same name, but now with its own elements and values.

No idle sounds.

Ford Mustang GT 2015 Widebody#

Unreleased widebody kit for the 2015 Mustang GT, proving that it was possible to have both personalization and customization options in Rivals at the same time, but due to lack of time, the customization option was instead added in 2015. Garage View Front view Rear view
