Following in the footsteps of Most Wanted, Need for Speed Carbon was largely based on the street racing culture of the day, introducing exotic and muscle cars, as well as canyon races. One of the coolest new features in Carbon was AutoSculpt, which molded aftermarket body parts to the driver’s liking, with no two cars being exactly alike.
