Vehicles

Two SUV classes have been added (B4 and B3) to provide an off-roading experience, and Classic Cars ("G-class" in Test Drive Unlimited) have been split into two classes (C4 and C3).

Not all vehicles are obtainable however; clubs can get exclusive club cars when reaching high ranks. These exclusive vehicles can be driven by any member of the car club, and not by players from other clubs. The pre-launch game sported motorcycles that were quite hard to control, and also hard to win races with. They are not present in the Game.

Vehicles feature cosmetic damage which does not affect the behaviour and technical aspects of the vehicles. There is no option to manually repair the vehicle; the car may get fixed by visiting a house. Rainfall does affect the handling of the vehicles though, and also influences the appearance of a vehicle as rain washes off dirt. Eden has also spent years working on a new physics engine to ensure each vehicle has its own driving behaviour. New details and functions have been added, such as different headlight modes, turning signals and working convertible roofs. There is also a vinyl-editor which is similar to that of Forza Motorsport.

When pre-order information was revealed, it became known that pre-orders in the United States would get additional bonuses. Among these bonuses are bonus cars, such as special Carbon-edition Aston Martins, an Audi Q7 concept car, Ford Shelby GT500 and Alfa Romeo models. These pre-order cars are now available on each console's respective store.

During E3 2010, Atari released the first part of the list of cars that are available in the game. The list includes various models of Aston Martin, Audi, Dodge, Lotus, Mercedes, and more.All of these vehicles will be purchasable in the final game.

As confirmed on the Official TDU2 Forum, Lamborghini will not be making an appearance in the game, due to licensing issues. Lamborghini made an appearance in the last game, however, this does not eliminate the possibility of these cars returning as DLC.

In December 2010, Atari released the official car list for the game, containing 101 cars.

The Ferrari 458 Italia is not available in the 360 version as Turn 10 and Microsoft have exclusive rights to that car on their platforms. The PC and PS3, versions, however, do receive the 458 Italia, while the 360 version has the Spyker C8 Aileron instead. The Spyker C8 Aileron Convertible, however, is available on all platforms and is part of the Casino DLC.

People who bought the game at Best Buy received a redemption code for an Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black edition.

With the release of DLC 1 came the Dodge Charger (1969) and the Lancia Stratos, these can be found as wrecks after completing Convoy missions. When playing the DLC Convoy missions players could drive DLC cars such as the Shelby Mustang GT500 and Bugatti Veyron Supersport. The Corvette ZR1 and Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Edition, which are not available in-game as a DLC addon or otherwise and has never been officially announced.
