The highly anticipated next instalment in the CarX series, CarX Street, is due to hit Steam on the 29th of August.

Many of you may be familiar with CarX Drift, an arcade title that launched the CarX franchise into the spotlight with a mixture of simulation and arcade gameplay. CarX Street is the next instalment in the franchise and focuses on street racing alongside the original games' main discipline of drifting.

As the player, you will become part of StreetNET, a unique network for underground racers. Earn respect among network members, rise to the elite, and build your car collection to your preferences.


The new release trailer is the typical 'Need For Speed' bad boy-style trailer: Lots of slow and dark scenes with illegal street racing and a dramatic voiceover. It is what is expected, especially for the younger audience. However, the trailer does show some of the unlicensed car list and the level of vehicle customization on offer.

CarX Street: What To Expect​

The main attraction for car enthusiasts is the level of vehicle customization on offer. In the original CarX Drift, the customization ended up being more entertaining than the gameplay for a lot of people. This got so popular that lobbies for "Static Car Meets" started to fill up quicker than some of the drifting lobbies.

In the new announcement trailer, many incredible cars are showcased. The standouts for us are the HardTuned-sponsored Mitsubishi EVO 9 and the lime green and white Porsche 911 - or, well, their look-alikes.

Apart from the street racing, there is an homage to the original game as well. There will be two separate drifting modes available in the game, one set autocross-style in a car park, and one in a more competitive racing format.

CarX Street PC Requirements​

The minimum system requirements for CarX Street have been released on the game's updated Steam page. The game does not appear to be too heavy on hardware, and most somehwat modern PCs should be able to run it at a good pace in some capacity.

The debadged cars are a huge ick IMHO, but the driving seems to be less floaty than CarX Drift and doesn't appear to have the awful on/off drift stuff we've seen in NFS for the last 10 years.
 
And the prize for the worlds most utterly pretentious driving game trailer voice-over goes to..................

Game looks OK though, will probably check it out.
 
I dont want to build respect, I just want to drive a car!
