NFS Underground 2 Car List and Unlock Order

There are 31 standard car models across the regional PC, PS2, Xbox and GameCube rosters, with 29 in each regional release. North America has the Acura RSX and Honda Civic; Europe and Asia instead have the Peugeot 106 and Opel or Vauxhall Corsa. The table includes Toyota Supra, which an earlier draft omitted. Sponsor versions are variants, not eight extra models.

Roster and stage information was compared with the Fandom list, StrategyWiki and mouldy_stain's GameFAQs unlock guide on 2026-10-29. Exact performance figures below are attributed to Fandom alone, not independently measured or cross-verified; they describe stock cars, not fully upgraded race pace.

Event filters use the editorial starting picks, not measured lap times. Stock handling values are attributed to the wiki table below; tuned results can differ.

31 models across all regions

URL R# S# uses Fandom's global race numbering and career stage. Other guides count events within each stage or distinguish NTSC and PAL; do not compare those numbers as though they use one numbering system. 'Start' means immediately available in the applicable region. Handling stars and all exact stock figures are single-source Fandom data. 0-60 is in seconds; top speed is in mph.

Sponsor cars

These eight names are reported by the Fandom car and cheat-code pages (one wiki publisher, not two independent sources). They are sponsor variants, not extra chassis beyond the regional model list.

Region split

If your disc is North American, do not hunt for the 106 or the Corsa in the showroom. If it is European, do not hunt for the RSX or the Civic. The three SUVs on every list I checked are the Escalade, the H2, and the Navigator.

Questions

How many cars are there?

31 standard models across regions, 29 per regional release. Sponsor cars reuse those models. This table covers PC and the main home consoles, not the separate handheld rosters.

When does the 350Z unlock?

Fandom lists URL race 9 in stage 4. Unlocking makes it available at a car lot; it does not mean every car is free. Guides may use different event numbering.

When is the Skyline?

Fandom: URL race 16, stage 5.
