Named after the film "Passenger 57", which had Wesley Snipes in a starring role.
Lotus Elise
Need for Speed: Shift (2009)
This car has a glitch that, when modified, it bounces up and down in an uncontrollable manner. And there's nothing you could do about it.
Ferrari 360 Spider
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (2002)
Not only is this car featured in the famous intro, but this car also appears in the Black Box Games version's "reward" movie (originally an opening movie for the March 2002 build), where it's driven by an unknown racer.

Ford Crown Victoria
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (2002)
On both versions of HP2, this car looks weird. On the main PS2 version, it has a chromed front grille and a missing bullbar, whilst on the other versions, the front grille isn't chromed, and it has a bullbar fitted. The side profile is also weird, and the rear is modeled after a 2000+ model. So, it's a weird mishmash of different P71 Crown Victorias.

I through the engine sounds are created by the developers.
Nope, they were outsourced to American-based Tommy Tallarico Studios (which did this, 6 and Demolition Racer), as all three games share sounds with each other.
BMW 328Ci
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec (2001)
Superseded by the BMW M3 in later entries. This is the final GT game to include this variant.
TVR Cerbera
Test Drive 5 (1998)
Engine sound is sourced from a Ferrari Testarossa (I have the Tommy Tallarico SFX Kit, where the engine sounds originate from).
Chevrolet Blazer
Wirehead (1995)
Update: This is a 1978 K5 Blazer, for clarification, incorrectly wrote 1988 (that one has a different front grille).
Mitsubishi 3000 GT
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (2007)
Modelling inaccuracy: despite being called the VR-4 model, it has the arched spoiler from the base model SR (the VR-4 should have a combat rear wing)
Honda NSX
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (2007)
Right-hand drive model for the UK market, but unlike the Acura variant (which is actually a 1990), this has the correct wheels.
Acura NSX
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (2007)
The rims and the roof are from a much earlier NSX (1990), and a real 1999 NSX should have a body coloured roof and 7-spoke rims.
Nissan Skyline GT-R
Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (2007)
Interior gauges aren't of a Japanese-spec Skyline, but actually, they're of the Nur variant (or the little few variants of the car sold in either New Zealand or Australia).
Total Immersion Racing (2002)
Damageable vehicles: No.
Noble M12
Total Immersion Racing (2002)
2002 model at best, since it doesn't have the glass surrounding the headlights and the indicators.
Midnight Club: Street Racing (GBA) (2001)
Released in 2001, developed by Rebellion, published by Destination Software.
Volkswagen Golf
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition (2005)

Honda Civic
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004)
Has a sunroof, meaning that this is a Canadian-spec feature on the Civic Si Coupé.
Aston Martin Project Vantage
Test Drive 6 (1999)
The real concept car is 1997, but the game calls it a 1999.
Cadillac Coupe Deville
Demolition Racer (1999)
Stock footage from the 1977 film "Telefon", starring Charles Bronson.
Nissan 350Z
Maximum Chase (2002)
Pre-production model, due to the Z logo, which makes this a 2001.
Test Drive Unlimited (2006)
In fact, the Sony versions are more forgiving than the Microsoft versions. You also get a bigger soundtrack, which automatically means that despite being inferior in visuals, they're superior in gameplay.
Yamaha FZR 1000
Road Rash (1995)
The yellow motorbike on the far left; positively a 1994 model due to the fox eye headlights.
Chrysler Phaeton
Gran Turismo 2 (1999)
It's simply, the Happiest Concept Car in the World.
That link doesn't exist anymore, and the imagery of the car on the Wayback Machine doesn't show up aside from the website's background.
Renault Mégane Maxi
V-Rally (1997)
In real life, this Mégane was driven by Jean Ragnotti in 1996, for Team Diac.

The game says that it's a Toyota Supra.
Lotus Elise
Test Drive Unlimited (2006)
Actually, make that a 2004, then.
Rover Mini Cooper S
Pocket GT (2000)
The turn signal lghts and the rims make this a 1991-1996 Mini (manufactured by Rover).

Pocket GT (2000)
Pre-1999 headlights design - this makes it a 1997-1998.
Peugeot 106 Maxi
Pro Rally (2002)
1998, Esso Ultron Team Peugeot livery.
Venturi 300 Atlantique
Test Drive 6 (1999)
Game says 1999 but the 300 Atlantique ended production in 1998.
AC Superblower
TOCA 2 Touring Cars (1998)
The Superblower is a limited, modernized AC Cobra successor from 1997-2001.
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster
Asphalt: Urban GT (2004)
Has facelifted headlights, so it's a 1998-2000 VT Roadster.
Ferrari F40
OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (2006)
Correction, this is a 1998, built by Michelotto
Hyundai Scoupe

It's a 1999.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption (2000)
A van, a London double decker bus, a London police vehicle (probably a Ford Mondeo) and a civilian version of the NYPD Dodge Diplomat are missing. The game has a multiplayer mode, so it's easy to spawn them through the Storyteller.
Ford LTD Crown Victoria
Sniper: Path of Vengeance (2002)
There's a civilian version of that car seen in the level "The Sleepy Hollow."
Porsche 911 Targa
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002)
This car's rim texture comes from the front-engined Porsche 924, which are also used on the Phoenix, Stinger and the Cheetah.
