From QJ reader GmDude66 comes these great new screenshots from EA's upcoming Need For Speed: Carbon. These drop-dead gorgeous images say it all. EA wasn't kidding around when theyset outto make NFS:Carbon! These vehicles gleam with Turtle-Wax-like reality. And the metal-on-metal sparks don't look too shabby, either!

But then again NFS:Carbon will be the the first member of its franchise to run wild on all the next-gen consoles. It has no choice but to make the kind of smashing audience impact that would crush an armored car like a beer can to a frat boy's forehead. NFS: Carbon will feature a selection of cars from previous titles including Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Underground 2 plus an-all new line up of cars: Chevrolet Chevelle SS, Audi Le Mans Quattro, and the Shelby GT500.

So gentlemen and ladies who don't mind getting grease under their nails, get ready to rev up your engines.
