In the game it’s called an Italdesign Scighera, sort of how the Lamborghini Cala was attributed to Italdesign in Need For Speed II. It’s not the only vehicle from Giorgetto Giugiaro’s studio featured in NFS III, because the Nazca C2 also made an appearance.

NFS’ car rosters around this time were limited, yet extremely inspired. Perhaps it’s just reflective of how exciting concepts and automotive design in general were leading up to the millennium, but Electronic Arts had a discerning eye when sourcing its selections. That was enhanced by the Showcase mode, a staple of these early NFS titles that offered an innovative and educational way to explore every vehicle, that really put the multimedia capabilities of CD-ROMs to good use. Hearing cars like the Scighera and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR spoken about by NFS’ immortal announcer, they end up sounding less like sports cars and more like heroes of legend.
