We’ve all wondered what Need For Speed would be like in real life (haven't we?) and while we got a taste in 2014 with the movie, it didn’t exactly impress. 

Now a Russian YouTube channel, Chekunov V has attempted to bring Need For Speed (NFS) to the real world, but just as how people remember the game.

While the vid is only a minute long, it's sure to tickle your nostalgia bone.

Kicking off with the player choosing their car (Toyota Celica), they then go through the options for adding a bodykit, aftermarket wheels and paint job, before hitting the streets.

It’s just like in an actual Need For Speed game!

The video is even complete with accurate NFS special effects and graphics that are inspired by what were used in Underground 2, such as the speedo and NOS bar.

Does this make want you to break out the PS2 and replay Need For Speed? Let us know in the comments.

Following a passion shared by his father and grandfather, Mitchell’s love of cars really kicked off with his Godfather’s purchase of a new Mazda RX-8. Exposure to that car changed his world forever, leading to an RX-7 obsession. To feed his automotive addiction, Mitchell decided to become a motoring journalist and made his mark at several high-profile motoring publications before landing at CarsGuide. While he is a rotary loyalist, Mitchell also has a massive love for Aussie muscle cars, and dreams of one day getting behind the wheel of a Charger R/T E49 (if anyone will let him). His other passions include Queensland, and spending Saturdays with the boys.
