Introducing the BMW M3 GTR E46



A pure-bred race car, the M3 GTR road version is technically kept as close as possible to the limited production racing version. At the heart of the GTR is a V8 engine producing more than 500 bhp. The compact high-performance engine permits optimum weight distribution which, together with the 19-inch sports wheels, guarantees outstanding handling properties.

For weight reduction purposes, the roof, rear spoilers, front and rear aprons are made of carbon fiber parts. Just like the race version.

A "race car for the street”, the BMW M3 GTR is lightweight, powerful and an absolute thrill to drive.

Now available for SpeedBoost in the World Gararge.

Hot Fix: Lamborghini Murciélago Cop Car Bug



Hi everyone,

First off, thanks for your patience and understanding as we worked to resolve the unexpected Lamborghini Murciélago cop car bug.

We were informed by our community of the bug last Tuesday evening after the weekly maintenance patch. For a period of 45 minutes when this glitch was live, over 1000 gamers took advantage and exploited this bug to redeem the Murciélago cop car. In some cases, many, many times over.

This was an error on our end (our bad!), so it would inappropriate for us to take action against users who took advantage. However, to be fair to drivers who previously purchased the Murciélago, we can’t let this one go either.

We have taken back all the Murciélagos redeemed within that 45 minute window. This also included all the cash and car slot transactions that were gained from the selling of multiple Murciélagos that some of our gamers deliberately engaged in.

We understand that most gamers may not have realized it was a bug or that they were in violation of our terms of service. For this inconvenience, when we remove the Murciélagos, we will offer in exchange a small compensation.

A big thank you to the community who notified us about the bug. You guys rock! Something nice will be coming your way too!

Introducing the Audi TT RS - "Vesna"



With its custom scrollwork livery and special themed stencil neon, this exclusive Audi TTRS "Vesna" is sure to be a head turner. This high performance coupe sports a 2.5 liter engine, over 300 HP and a permanent all wheel drive system that delivers power evenly. This turbo-charged Tier 2 top-up car is also outfitted with street performance parts, providing even greater acceleration.

Blow past all the other cars while turning heads. Props to artist Danny Lee for creating the eye-catching custom work!
