Click above for high-res gallery of Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Rockstar Games is a little busy right now ahead of its big release of Grand Theft Auto IV, but the video game developer had enough time to announce that the next installment of its Midnight Club racing series will land on the Xbox 360 and PS3 come September 9th. Joystiq reports that Midnight Club: Los Angeles will feature "no load times, no tracks, and no rules," which means much hooning can be had in the City of Angels with a large selection of infinitely customizable cars. Among those available to gamers will be the first use of the new Dodge Challenger and Chevy Camaro in a racing game. Having already been officially revealed to the public, the Challenger in Midnight Club: Los Angeles looks spot on, while the Camaro appears to sport a few quirky details like its headlights that Chevy probably didn't want to reveal in a video game or just weren't ready when it came to digitize the car. Driving your dream cars in a video game certainly doesn't replace the real thing, but it's fun to do things with a digital version that you wouldn't dream of inflicting on an actual car.

The Camaro pictured in the game is sporting 60s style headlamp covers that the originals had. I must say, they look pretty good on the new one too.
Both cars look thoroughly badass.

Challenger has the crossair grille. :S

The GT-R looks like it has mufflers from an 88 Maxima. What's up with that? The production version's are almost as big as the tail lights!
Westside T.O. @ Apr 22nd 2008 11:55PM
Uh, because that's the OLD R32 (?) Skyline GT-R.

Doesn't Need for Speed Carbon have both of these?
imirk @ Apr 22nd 2008 12:13PM
Eh, I guess it has both of the concepts, not production versions.
Matt @ Apr 22nd 2008 12:11PM
Yea, it does have both, although i suppose they're both the concept version in NFS, so this is the first game with the production versions then, maybe? The concepts are nearly identical o the production versions, so it doesn't really seem like that big of a deal.

Fack, no PC version again...

I imagine the game will feature the biggest and shiniest spinners and gangsta rims on Escalades and Hummers so that you can post up freeze frames online. The last Midnight Club was a farce and this one looks to be headed down the same path.
No thank you very much, I'll continue with GT5 and Forza2.

Two completely different styles. Over-the-top Arcade VS. Hardcore simulation.
meshies @ Apr 22nd 2008 2:24PM
You are an idiot. Who cares if you can put big rims on an Escalade? For that reason you wont buy it? I love my Forza and my GT but this game is 1000x more FUN (bold letters + underline) than those games. My roomies and I would customize our cars and race each other for hours upon hours with Dub edition.
I have waited years for this game, the customization on the last Midnight Club was insane, Im hoping this one trumps that. I cant wait.

Unofficially, PGR4 had them. Challenger is in there by default and the Camaro (convertible though) is available through for-pay DLC...so this may be the first to have both coupes on the discs.

I'm surprised there are no "OMGZ!! That should of totally been the new Knightrider!!" yet... As there always is whenever Autoblog posts up a picture of a black American car.
Mel. R @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:26PM
OK, I'll humor you:
"OMGZ!! That should of totally been the new Knightrider!!"
There. Satisfied? :-p
SayWhat? @ Apr 22nd 2008 12:57PM
What's this? No Mustang? Thank goodness! *Snicker!*
Hamud @ Apr 22nd 2008 2:53PM
Hate to disappoint you, check the 4th pic on the gallery.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!!!
Yago Bal @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:18PM
Those Camaro side-mirrors aren't the ones of a production car..
Trent @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:20PM
Yes yes yes! midnight club 3 was about the most fun i've ever had in a racing game. excellent!
Sam @ Apr 22nd 2008 1:28PM
the driving real fast part, or the hitting pedestrians part?
