We learned there are at least 40 cars in NFS: Most Wanted, including models from Porsche (including the new Camen S), Mazda (RX8), Toyota, Chevy (Corvette), Ford (Mustang, GT), Lamborghini, Cadillac, BMW (GT4), and Volkswagen, to name a few. The game will not include SUVs, and there won't be any Ferraris in it either. This is by no means a complete car list, instead it's a sampling of what to expect. EA will announce the full car list at a later date.

The final part of the three-part demo is the gnarliest of the three. The end of the second race sees you blazing through a toll booth. It's a cop-monitored toll booth, in fact, and it takes an automatic photograph of your car as it passes through; and it clocks your speed. The camera flash is blinding for a second, and the screen goes white, and all of a sudden cops are talking on their radios. "Unidentified car speeding through sector 89, going 142 miles per hour, apprehend."

At this point, you're on. Dozens of cops chase after you. A handy map can be pulled up to see exactly how many while you're racing, but I found it's better not to look at anything other than the road. They start by calmly driving alongside your vehicle, but as you continue to speed, they increasingly grow aggressive, until they're ramming, strafing, and speeding head-first into your car. They will drive in front of you and try to tip you, and they'll clamor about you, surrounding the vehicle, in the attempt to drive you into a stationery object, like a tree, brick wall, or cement post.
