Mac: Speedcross; Titanium Trial; Cars. This category lists every car appearing in Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Mazda MX-5 (NA) Porsche 911. This category lists every car appearing in Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. +1 more for Need for Speed: Porsche 2000 / Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed 'wanted' game in library. I don't like these modern NFS editions. The only one I could pay and play is this specific edition. With it's BEST ever music, scenery, cars and handling. I have only one question: WHEN? With Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, Mac users arguably get the best game in the series. Porsche features a brand new graphics engine, not a rehash from the previous versions (as is the case with many Electronic Arts titles), resulting in stunning visuals that far surpass previous versions.

Issues unresolved[edit]
Slow-down when using a controller[edit]
- When using a controller, frame-rate may drop significantly in main-menu.
Analog inputs do not function on newer versions of Windows[edit]
- On Windows 8 and higher, USB controller (wheel and gamepad) analog inputs register according to the options menu, but will not function in-game as the default controller cannot be set.
- A temporary workaround involves plugging the controller to a USB 2.0 slot and other peripherals into a USB 3.0 or higher slot.
This is due to how the game treats device priorities, relocating the controller to the top of the default controller list. This ceases to work on the next PC start-up,locking the steering to the left and disabling all controller input except for Acceleration.
Custom bindgings doesn't work in the game[edit]
- Changing acceleration and brake to A/Z results in no reaction on key pressing during the race.
Issues fixed[edit]
Low FPS on modern systems or Crash after click RACE[edit]
