The Icons of Need for Speed

Ventura Bay is home to five real world automotive icons, who are the heroes of today's car culture. Build reputation and earn their respect on your journey to become the ultimate icon.

Speed

Push the limits with your car to get the attention of Magnus Walker, the king of speed.

THE FEARLESS ALWAYS PUSH THE LIMITS | Magnus Walker - Speed Icon

Style

Conquer the art of going sideways as you jump and slide your car through drift trails, contests and gymkhana events… all to impress the master of style, Ken Block.

STYLE IS ALL THAT MATTERS | Ken Block - Style Icon

Build

Take your rides to the extreme through performance tuning, and express yourself via visual customisation, as you aim to team up with Nakai-san, the godfather of car modification.

Crew

Get to grips with close proximity driving, precise control, drift trains, and slip streaming… all alongside either your online friends or the AI.

RIDE WITH YOUR CREW | Risky Devil - Crew Icon

Outlaw

Crave the thrill of the chase and become an outlaw. Inspired by Morohoshi-san, a rebel against society rolling the streets in his customised ride… head over and prowl the police district as you bait, mess with and escape from the cops.

Throughout your journey you’ll also come across other real-world stars of car culture within the different stories, adding a richness and level of authenticity to your Need for Speed experience.
