About Need for Speed Underground 1
Need for Speed Underground (also known as NFSU) is a racing video game that marked a significant shift in the Need for Speed series. Released in 2003, it was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. Unlike its predecessors, which focused on sports cars and exotics, Underground delved into the world of street racing and import scene vehicles. The game introduced a career mode with a compelling storyline and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars using a wide variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades. All the adrenaline-fueled races took place in the fictional city of Olympic City, which bears some resemblance to New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. With its edgy urban aesthetic, thrilling races, and extensive car customization options, Need for Speed: Underground became a commercial success and inspired a sequel.

Need For Speed Underground 2 Redesign
Redesigning a childhood dream
I have always tried to follow my childhood dreams throughout my life. A large part of who I am today and what I am looking for was formed by this series. Fantastic Need for speed franchise.

From designing body kits to environmental design and game developing.
This project will be a long term project and this page will be updated.
About Need for Speed Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2 is the eighth title in the Need for Speed series, released in 2004.

Set in the fictional city of Bayview, the game allows players to explore the streets, find sponsors, and compete against rivals. Unlike the linear race-to-race progression of the original, Underground 2 offers a more open-world experience, where players can immerse themselves in urban car culture and customization.
